Topic: Strictly come dancing

[Zeppelin]

Mad when they show clips of him at a packed concert. Had never heard of the fucker before Strictly! Certainly appears to be him or Maisie who will win it, but good to see Bill get through!

Me neither - He seems a nice enough lad to be fair. I'm not sure that Maisie will win it - she's been in the dance off twice, so she might not be popular with the viewers and the final is viewer votes only. I think Bill has a good chance on that basis - he's a decent standard, but I would imagine he's very popular. I'd love to see him win.

[sinnermichael]

A bit surprised with that result but delighted.

[Hedley Lamarr]

I don't watch this, but I watched the final as I decided I better see the missus.  Don't know if he was any good, but I'm pleased for Bill Bailey, one of life's good guys.

Yes he was very very good. Missus says not as good as Hrvy but when you consider he is 55, its a hell of an achievement

[nuts100]

 I posted in another thread
I think he’s great especially as he’s 55

Every time I watch this brings a smile
Think this is fabulous
Oti is a superb dancer and won it last year, they probably thought this year we will give you an old shit guy.
Every credit to them both, world needs more people like this

Was obvious they were going to have the first all male couple this year after the first all female couple last year.

Nearly as obvious as one of those wet lettuces from McFly featuring in the lineup.

If there's ever, god forbid, a nuclear holocaust the population will be reduced to a few cockroaches and the members of fucking Mcfly

[sinnermichael]

Genius way to get yourself through to week 3. Just test positive for Covid.

Wash your mouth out Pete.

I think 'wet lettuce' sums up that McFly fella perfectly. And what about Craig being quite nice to everyone. He told the big ex rugby player Ugo that he really enjoyed it...then gave him a 3 !!

Have they had a memo about mental health awareness ? I mean I was only watching because the missus had it on, honest 🤷

It was weird seeing Craig be so nice. Shirley seems to have taken up the role of the nasty one but she doesn't do it in the same charming way Craig does unfortunately. It's amazing how completely blatant she is with her hatred of Karen as well. Always gives her bad scores and heavy criticism.

[Buck Pete]

I'm the same as every other RAWK bloke and am forced to watch this by my missus (yeah yeah ok right )

When I first saw and heard AJ a few months back on another TV programme, she annoyed me a bit.  I have seen her on other stuff since and I've changed my opinion.  She's a pretty good laugh and just a down to earth lass.  Seemed genuinely shocked and made up she was top of the leader board.

And what a figure too.  She looks like a dancer even before she takes a step.  Oooooh id like to have it off with her.

There's always at least one contestant I take a dislike to, but this year I have 2 hanger-onners.  Its Emma Thompsons under-achieving smarmy looking actor hubby and Gordon Ramsey's bland, posh sounding daughter who has achieved social media fame, success and fortune for being nothing other than Gordon Ramsey's daughter.

Whoever said nepotism was dead was lying.

At least Fletch is a successful song writing, musician type of wet lettuce.

[Crosby Nick]

Haha keep the reviews coming Pete.

Saw about ten minutes on Saturday and they mentioned TV chef whatever her name Ramsey is and me and my wife both said ‘bollocks’ before our daughter said she has a show on CBeebies. Fair play to get getting that all off her own back.

I’m hoping Robert Webb will be good because I like Peep Show. How did he get on?

And go for it Pete, you tell Greg he’s an underachieving actor! He’s not a patch on your back end of a pantomime horse in your school play, 1982.

[Buck Pete]

Simon Webb is a crowd pleaser Nick. 

These shows are all about having your favourites but the producers do want you to dislike people too.

Its just a bit of fun.  I don't wish any serious bad vibes on Gordons daughter or anything

I know, all good fun. And nothing too mean spirited unless there’s a celebrity United fan taking part.

[Zeppelin]

Adam Peaty looks like one to watch - not only was he surprisingly good, but he's got Katya as a partner who can make anyone (even Ed Balls!) look decent - she's a genius choreographer.

[AndyMuller]

I don't know what's worse, this or the Wrasslin' thread always being at the top of the Media & Arts section.

I know right, liking and enjoying stuff and then talking about it with other people who like and enjoy that stuff is so annoying. Wish I could be edgy and cool instead

[El Lobo]

You'll never be cool and edgy talking about celebrities dancing or wrestling....I think we should all go and join Andy talking about video games.

Isnt he also with Diane? Who has taken over from Ola as the best ever.

You will never be edgy and cool, unfortunately.

Video games trumps both of them Lobo, haven't you got some obscure rules draft to nerd over instead?

Dan Walkers wife when their dance partners were revealed.

Who’s he got. Doesn’t he not work on Sunday because of his religious beliefs? Or does everyone know they must film the results show on the Saturday anyway?

[Buck Pete]

Who’s he got.

Nadia

[Crosby Nick]

Nadia

I’ve got no idea either. Hopefully someone will tell us in a minute.

Idiota

[Lad]

Have to agree about Greg the actor luvvie. Smarmy, self assured, confident, reckons himself. Him and the wet lettuce are my two dislikes for this year.

[sinnermichael]

Robert Webb's withdrawn due to health reasons. He did have open heart surgery recently after all.

[TepidT2O]

Probably getting palpitations.  I know someone who had the exact same issue and he suffers from it if he does too much excercise.

Must have got a bad supply from Super Hans.

[Nitramdorf]

Oh bloody hell that means no more Diane.

[Red Viper]

Shame he's had to leave but not surprising. All that training plus the nerves must put alot of strain on the heart.

Really enjoying this year so far. Think it's much more entertaining when the vast majority of the celebs are actually good and this year's crop are probably the best there's been in years.

I’ve tried my best. Please enlighten me on the rest!

[sinnermichael]

I’ve tried my best. Please enlighten me on the rest!

I know all the ones you've mentioned and I know Kaye Adams is a tv presenter/journalist. Does Loose Women. Ellie Taylor is a stand up. Used to present The Mash Report on Dave. Richie Anderson is the gay lad who does Radio 2 as you said and also does reports for the One Show. He's got a male dance partner this year.

[Ray K]

I’ve tried my best. Please enlighten me on the rest!

Kaye Adams is a Loose Woman
Ellie Taylor does BBC Three stuff like Snog Marry Avoid.
At least one of them will be from a boyband / girl group that you've never heard of.
And someone else will be from CBBC, because there always is. 

[Crosby Nick]

I think we’re legally obliged to have a ‘Reality Star/TV Personality’ now too.

Think I know who that Ellie is based on the descriptions above.
