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.

Shane's going to poke someone's eye out with that baton!

Sparklefizz Sat 26-Oct-24 18:55:17

Wow! Montel was brilliant.
So much good dancing tonight so far.

rafichagran Sat 26-Oct-24 18:54:09

Pete was very good, I really enjoyed that.

OMG!!!!! Craig and Anton!!! I'm speechless.

The twins from The Shining.
So far the dancing and costumes are really good, I love the Halloween special.

Pete was great, loved the choreography

Sparklefizz Sat 26-Oct-24 18:48:24

Chris was great, and Pete ... what a surprise! He was very good, wasn't he?

rafichagran Sat 26-Oct-24 18:34:56

Craig and Anton, freaky and not in a good way. Ugh

Sparklefizz Sat 26-Oct-24 18:28:50

Wonder what he did say

Oh dear! Wynne is in the news again, this time for making a questionable comment to one of the Strictly makeup team.
Apparently he compared his double chins to female genitalia.

Now that is something I would find repulsive. He needs to watch his behaviour carefully.
Also keep his mouth shut.

Allira Sat 26-Oct-24 17:13:04

Oh dear Wynne, you're becoming your own worst enemy!

Perhaps I won't go and see him after all!

No not just you Calendargirl, I thought exactly the same 😂

So did my DH

Should say of and what.

rafichagran Sun 20-Oct-24 20:52:05

Apologies Sparklefizz it was said but it carried on from a quote if whst you said.

Desperate to keep him in or wanting to show support for a man
who has been unfairly accused of sexual advances to his dance partner
Anniebach Whether in your opinion you think Wynne has been "unfairly accused", the fact of the matter is that all the viewers saw his hand creeping across Katya's stomach, and saw her reaction to it. She didn't like it and surely that's up to her.

Obviously she didn’t like him, she had that right, she chose the
wrong time didn’t she ? Rather a disappointing partner, not
attractive, fat, no chance of winning.
No matter, you believe with the cameras flashing he was getting a thrill or perhaps more , I do not, she forgot the cameras. This does matter, not to be liked ? ok, accused of
being a lech is not ok

^I said Wynne was fat, unattractive with no chance of winning^
which is true, I said this in defence of him against the allegations of him being lecherous groping for Katya stomach

Am I the only one who can’t make any sense of this?

No your not 🤷‍♀️
It would help if the quote facility was used when repeating what a poster has actually written.

Anniebach Sun 20-Oct-24 20:34:47

Perhaps if you read my original post ?

I think all this talk about Wynne is over the top. Katya is a adult, she said she was not offended, respect that.
Also it was suggested by Sparklefizz that he is fat, unattractive with no chance of winning, a bit narrow minded in this day and age. If the atove was said about a woman there would be a hue and cry sbout it.
I honestly believe this is a fuss about nothing. Let's move on and enjoy the dancing. I think there are at least three couples who are worse than Wynne, so I believe he will do quite well.

I think JB suffered the curse of going first.
He needs to up his presentation a bit next week to win the public over.

Yes, maybe that was why - I think perhaps he’s on the quieter side, so maybe he was overlooked by voters. It’s a shame I think, because I rate his dancing. Fingers crossed for next week for him.

I didn't see * Sparklefizz* say those things. I think it was another poster being sarcastic.

Sparklefizz Sun 20-Oct-24 20:20:03

rafichagran Also it was suggested by Sparklefizz that he is fat, unattractive with no chance of winning, a bit narrow minded in this day and age.

I certainly did NOT say that!!
And would NEVER say that about ANYONE!
