Sparkle Sparkle Strictly 17 Thread #4

[xsquared]

Shiny new thread.

Seats? There are seats?

Of a sort.

Place marking with my now annual declaration of loathing for Gethin Jones. A dullard filled with only double entendres.

Do join us at the Little Church of the Dementedly Ranting Faithful, Thursday.

We stab a wax model of The Gethin at the end of the service (please bring a pin). We call it "Prick-a-Prick" - (it's a sort of "whack-a-mole") - and we do ask that you form an orderly queue.

coveting I like Karamo and find him very watchable but his technique is getting criticised. He has legs to die for (his Bey on lip sync was something else).
Here you go:

salsa QS jive

Why do they hit the floor dancing rage,while we have to watch a load of "faffing abaht"?

It's not fair!

Tbh the Faff started in the States but certainly, in the early weeks and for week 1 they don't get much time to faff as their opening numbers are much much shorter routines to fit them all in! (bearing in mind the ad breaks too) as opposed to Strictly going on for 2 hours
They have a new pro Pasha (not that one) who I am really enjoying watching.

Pasha Pashkov!!!

I had a bit of a crush on Gethin when he was a Blue Peter presenter.

Oh yes he’s undeniably handsome. Totally hunky until he opens his mouth

Thank you for the new thread xsquared.

I usually just dip in and out of ITT but haven't seen any this week. Might try and watch a few on catch up today if I get chance.

I still LIKE Gethin he's a bit lacking in confidence, I like the way he found it difficult to talk about dresses but he tried his best.

I'm not so sure that Ian Waite is as professional as he should be with other men, I wouldn't want to be demonstrating 'moves' with a bloke who openly fancied me. On the TV or wherever, It's the same for men and women IMO

Schaden I'm trying to be polite here but you're being a little unkind about a fellow human bean

Schaden can I join the congregation please, I have a tambourine & a tin of pins.

Bring back Zoe, weep...or at the very least Rylan 🦷🌟

He’s a totally genuine person wrapped in a not very genuine exterior

Completely agree about Rylan. He's strangely trustworthy for someone with those teeth.

It should be Rylan back tonight I believe, but possibly both him & Gethin..

I apologise ppeat.

I will try harder to be much more unkind in the future.

All are welcome Melen, especially pin-and-tambourine owners. Dare I hope that you can sing only just off-key and half a note behind everybody else?

It's particularly annoying to the people who work in the council offices opposite. Although they aren't in on a weekend, I record the services for their benefit.

Not sure if that is sparkling wit, or Revenge of the Autocorrect, but it is SUPERB!

Thank you coveting - you have made my day!

Coveting is referring to the lovely Mr Simone (Vincent always says it on choreography corner on ITT)
P.S i've got some maracas and I'm not afraid to use them

Ah!

Thank you Rage

Every day a school day.

Nah, I only know cos I watch It Takes Two now (big Rylan fan) and he said it last week and I laughed but then I discovered he also said it last year and I felt robbed like when comedians/actors on stage make a mistake and you think it's hilarious then discover they've been doing it at that point (pratfall, corpsing etc) EVERY night since the tour began...

I saw Vincent and Ian on tour this summer and he said 'standing ovulation' then too. I can't remember that far back with any accuracy, but way, way back in the mists of time it was a genuine mistake the first time he said it. Or perhaps I just believed it was a genuine mistake, he may have been cannily setting up punchlines until one of them stuck.
