Strictly restarts this Saturday when it will be the pairing up of celebs and pros..... which may even be less cringe-making than usual. grin

I don't know many of this year's celebs, but nothing new to that, and no doubt I shall get hooked in as usual.

Am I the only one who goes on the spoiler site to find out the results?

I really cannot be doing with the results show with all the last night on the show pretence.

Bridie22 Sun 13-Oct-24 14:23:10

No I go there also 💃

Anniebach Sun 13-Oct-24 14:31:19

I don’t think he was pawing her, thinking how close they are when dancing , I dislike her smile, too forced

joannapiano Sun 13-Oct-24 14:41:56

I’m terribly nosy, afraid I look at the Strictly Spoiler site first thing Sunday morning.

Regardless of Wynne’s motives, Katya was clearly unhappy with where his hand was otherwise she wouldn’t have moved it.
I wouldn’t want his hands anywhere near me.

The ‘high ten’ reaction said it all.

It's one thing to use close body contact when you are dancing, that is an integral part of the performance. I'm not sure it is appropriate though when standing together waiting to hear others' scores etc.

Grandmadinosaur Sun 13-Oct-24 15:25:01

I go on the spoiler site too. Keep saying I’ll wait till the Sunday night show but it’s addictive!

Grannynannywanny Sun 13-Oct-24 15:37:15

Katya and Wynne have issued a joint apology saying it was just a silly joke and they were messing around. This is the wandering hand clip and their apology for anyone who hasn’t seen it .

There is also a video of Katya standing very closely with both hands on his arm and resting her head against his body . Yes she had every right to move his hand but does he deserve to be
dismissed as a contestant ? their apology is uncomfortable viewing

nanaK54 Sun 13-Oct-24 15:41:33

Think I will just repeat my 'hmmm' - is this just damage limitation, obviously I don't know anymore than anyone else does.
Fairly sure that this will cost him dear in terms of votes - not this week, that's already over, but going forward - we will see.

Calendargirl Sun 13-Oct-24 15:48:00

Just looked at the apology above.

Actually think it makes it worse!

Esmay Sun 13-Oct-24 15:51:36

I looked up the biography of Alijaz .
I didn't know that he suffers from psoriasis, which is so unpleasant .
He'd have steroid creams to treat it and I wonder if he has oral steroids when competing intensely .
If he does - he could look bloated .
I have to take steroids for my weak lungs and I know that I look bloated .
I like Wynne ,but I find Katya's reaction to him worrying .
I must have watched half the programme , but it isn't as exciting as it used to be .

I believe Punam is a doctor; I do hope she is not another one who is intending to set out on the celebrity path and abandon a hard-won career in medicine. She is not a natural dancer, whereas Tasha is, and a very highly trained one too.

No I so it as well. However I thought I heard Snow Patrol was appearing, if that is the case I will watch.

Sparklefizz Sun 13-Oct-24 19:28:28

Shane and Nancy in the dance off!

Deedaa Sun 13-Oct-24 19:39:34

eazybee I saw Punam interviewed before the first programme. She said that her children were ecstatic that she was going to be dancing, while her mother's reaction was "And what exactly does this have to do with medicine?" I think she will keep listening to Mother,

Calendargirl Sun 13-Oct-24 19:47:37

Well, that’ll be Nick out.

Sparklefizz Sun 13-Oct-24 19:55:18

Yes Calendargirl. No contest surely.

rafichagran Sun 13-Oct-24 20:03:10

No surprises there. I thought Kai, Katya, and Snow patrol were amazing. Snow Patrol was the only reason I watched tonight.

Grannynannywanny Sun 13-Oct-24 20:15:45

No surprises in the outcome of the dance off. I think that was fair. I’m glad Punam escaped the dance off and I hope she’s back on form next week.

Having watched the results show I'm going to stick my head above the parapet and put one forward for Wynne here.

Both Shane and Nick had their arms around the waist of their partners when the judges were talking. A lot of the male pros had arms around the waists of partners talking to Claudia.

Wynne looked frightened to go anywhere near Katya - he barely touched her when they found out they were safe and also very subdued generally.

Given she wrapped her legs around him at the end of their dance, - has leant on his shoulder - held his face in her hands - he probably didn't think he was doing anything untoward or unwelcome as there clearly is a level of familiarity between them.

Anniebach Sun 13-Oct-24 22:24:17

I so agree ferry watching the results this evening every couple hugging and cuddling, Wynne looked so troubled, when I read the allegations I did not agree, he placed his hand
on her waist but was so enjoying listening to Claudia

Calendargirl Mon 14-Oct-24 07:30:14

I’ve missed the last couple of weeks as I’ve not been at home, but caught up this weekend.

Still no idea who many of the celebs (or pros) are. My fault, I know.

The show seems to have lost something, not sure what. (Innocence maybe?)

Saturday’s two hours seemed to drag on, and the results show really does seem a bit pointless.

It all feels a bit desperate somehow, but I shall keeeeep watching, as it fills up the weekend viewing.

It will probably seem better when we eliminate another few dancers. 🤞

I do enjoy voting though, and all my choices got through.

That hand was creeping round to her stomach when she removed it.

petra Mon 14-Oct-24 08:04:33

Something happened before the hand on stomach incident.
Just before that wynn was doing a high 5. For whatever reason Katya had a face like thunder before she turned to the camera and there she was smiling broadly.
