Strictly Come Dancing 2022

i know I shall be flamed for this - but here goes. I love the idea of-Strictly and people not of the dance world are given a chance to shine. BUT speaking as an overweight person - size 16 - the sight of an obese person dancing around wearing not very much is truly dreadful. Yes, I can switch off but I enjoy parts of the show.

Motsi looks like a poodle ?.

LotV I totally agree even if I am flamed.
As for Motsi’s hair …words fail. Apart from anything else it looks so painful like a Croydon face lift with knobs on.

I lole Fluer, her energy is amazing.

I agree LillyoftheValley that display a minute ago wasn't good to watch.

It might be my fault but I think we should be over on the other thread!:

Well you should be flamed. If you don't like the look of it don't look and don't vote for them. How do you feel about short people dancing? People with one arm or leg? It upsets me a lot to read this. Dancing is for anybody who wants to dance, not to make you comfortable.

You are right it was a alful comment, as a size 14 to 16 and average to tall in height,I find your people dancing, and not wearing much, quite offensive, it's about the dancing and larger people can dance.
In the Summer people do not always wear very much,do you comment about people who wear swimming costumes?

Go girl. ?

Go girl. ?

Absolutely, very entertaining and that is what it is about.

I didn't like that convent either. So very unnecessary. Jayde moves well and is very likeable.
It's great to see people of all shapes and sizes on the show.

Obviously I meant comment rather than convent o_0

I think that anyone who has any sort of disability should be able to dance, ride swim or whatever they want to do. They ought to have every chance and encouragement. |My daughter has a disability and does most things remarkably well. However, she (or I) did not cause her problems. Being fat is , often, a lifestyle choice. I have realigned my diet and am losing my excess weight. When I was much bigger I would have felt very uncomfortable parading my blubber in a swimsuit or leotard. Personal choice though.

Katya is a brilliant choreographer and Tony was very entertaining. I think Ellie Taylor is proving that being tall and slim doesn’t automatically make you into a good dancer. Lisa Riley was really good when she was on and she managed to come 5th. I like the diversity on Strictly this year, older, taller, shorter; and not going back to the days of regimented ‘Come Dancing’.

Blubber.??

Just as well that Jayde doesn't hate herself like some, isn't it?

Yes it is personel choice
LofV but I dont parade myself in a swimming costume, I sun bathe and swim in it. Such a shame you worry so much what you look like that it stops you doing things.
I enjoyed Jayde's dance with Karen tonight and so did she. Let's look at her dancing and not her size.
As a 14/16 myself I will not diet, I will eat what I want and I will do what I want and should be able to do it without people commenting on my size. Go Jadye and the other bigger dancers.

So sorry Grandmasue I pressed the wrong quote.

Some time in the Stone Age I used to go to a modern jive class where you had to dance every dance with a different partner. The guy in most demand was a chap who had rhythm, knew excellent moves including dips and drops, and gave a great lead.

Big lad, if I recall. Nobody cared, least of all him.

?we’ve all done it!

I enjoyed Jayde’s enjoyment and admire her for not giving a ‘fig’ at the fact she might have offended some people by being positive about herself. Go Jayde!

If I was a size 16, I`d be rejoicing at being slim, not overweight, lol!
Jayde`s got guts, if nothing else, but she`s also a not too bad dancer, although I`m not at all keen on same sex partnerships in the programme.

I thought Jayde looked awful last night, and they are over marking her ridiculously. Sick of her fake tears every week too.

You seem nice.

Dance is for everyone regardless of size, shape and ability, but this is a professional show designed for a public audience. I watch it because I want to enjoy the dancing, not watch contestants make fools of themselves.

Jayde's dance last night embarrassing because she was embarrassed. It was a most inappropriate choice of music, impossible to separate from an iconic dance routine, and I wondered who was responsible for the selection.

She wasn't embarrassed. Quite the opposite.

I don't think Jayde's a good mover or particularly watchable.
Larger people can dance (Susan Calman was excellent) but not Jayde. She was flat-footed and stompy. She didn't merit 2 x 8s last night.

People should not be shouted down for their opinions on here.
