At the risk of being shot down

I have stopped watching after the first episode of this series.
The show hasn’t been for me this time.
My thoughts about Johannes and his outfit (which is all over social media) is how does this family show think we are explaining this to our children?

Somebody somewhere gets an idea...a baking show, a quiz, dancing. Then they squeeze the life out of it and it becomes throughly unpleasant. It's sad.

I’ve not watched it for ages but occasionally I do flick through on catch up just to hopefully, see some dancing. I think the tide is turning on a lot of these awful programmes….and on some other things….but it’s painfully slow.

Well, in a country where Grayson Perry is lauded and celebrated done up as a little girl I would say we may well have gone past the point of no return.Where men say they are women and that they have a lady penis.Where women who complain about men in their changing rooms or are put on a mixed hospital ward when ill and vulnerable are told nothing can be done and to shut up.
Where kids in school can claim they’re a cat and want respect from teachers, or where teachers can be suspended or fired for forgetting pronouns.
A bloke flouncing around in a gold dress is small potatoes.

I've never watched Strictly. Never wanted to and anyway we don't have a telly. But I'm posting here because I read somewhere yesterday that since Nigella Lawson appeared on Bake Off, its popularity has overtaken Strictly's.

Strictly come dancing is now a thing of the past in my house. Sorry - but a man floating around in a gold frock is too much.
It made me feel very uncomfortable in my own home. I switched off immediately. The powers that be will have to have a long hard look at what the public wants on a Saturday night. A dancing competition would be good - you know - one that involves dancing.
