And Shirley's boy gives good Halloween

Your riposte - "it was a MAN" - is EXACTLY the point. I was pointing out how incredibly wearing it is that a man gets fawned over for doing what women do week in week out with no-one giving a shit.

Or, to couch it in terms you might understand, Amy was dancing in flat shoes on Saturday. Where's all the love for that? It's a WOMAN dancing in flat shoes!

Except women dance in both flat shoes and heels and men dance only in flat shoes. It's you who is being deliberately obtuse in order to shoe horn some kind of "sexist" nonsense in where there isn't any.

Derek and Bindi from a few years ago

SoupDragon · 21/10/2019 12:51

Do men ever wear heels? Pretty much no.

Do women ever wear flats? All the time.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 21/10/2019 12:54

Frankie's best dance

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 21/10/2019 12:56

My DD thinks they'll use Sweet but psycho but I am not sure they'll go there. I could see them using Billie Eilish Bad Guy maybe if they can twist the bad guy to a vampire.
I do miss Brenda at Halloween.

PetraDelphiki · 21/10/2019 12:59

Does anyone know who makes the costumes for the men? They are appalling at making trousers! The dancers dont need pockets!! Ever! And men’s competition trousers are much higher waisted normally not sitting on hips!

Drives me insane! How are you supposed to get a nice leg line with a random pocket sticking out!

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 21/10/2019 13:00

Fabulous pro-sleb mix team routine here

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 21/10/2019 13:07

No idea whether Vicky Gill outsources them petra I know she does all the sewing them into them. It was in Hello magazine.
Have just read Deborah Orr died yesterday, breast cancer, 57. Tickled Pink was only last Friday. Very sad, she was a decent journalist.

ElspethFlashman · 21/10/2019 13:10

The men's trousers have been an......... interesting...... development this year.

They're essentially wearing leggings.

ppeatfruit · 21/10/2019 13:10

Now now people calm down Grin

Btw I have ALWAYS loved Neil he's even better now he has a partner , she's lucky IMO. A very good partner.

Piggywaspushed · 21/10/2019 13:12

I didn't even notice Johannes was wearing heels... Blush

BiscuitMachine · 21/10/2019 13:13

Thanks rage for trying to get the thread back on track. I lurk here because it is generally lovely 🙂

Digital Spy do put me on to things I miss though. All contestants ever on a 10 min BBC video.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 21/10/2019 13:17

It reminded me that at least Will has his contempowaft to be reminded for as opposed to bloody Pokemon (I saw Detective Pikachu yesterday and am very Blush to say I did not see the twist coming! Grin)

ppeatfruit · 21/10/2019 13:23

As a ex contemporary dancer Blush I liked Will's and Janette's dance that is what it SHOULD be like. Oh and we don't usually wear any shoes Shock horror Shock

Theromanempire · 21/10/2019 14:03

rage love that video Smile there are a few there that I don't remember even though I haven't missed one episode since it started Blush

And I didn't see the twist in Detective Pikachu either - much better film than I thought it was going to be when DS insisted I took him to the cinema to watch it Grin

SchadenfreudePersonified · 21/10/2019 14:12

on Saturday night an otherwise seemingly sensible poster made a comment about AJ being repulsive.

It was me. I apologise for being offensive - but there really is something about him that makes my skin crawl. I find him very "creepy", though I couldn't put my finger on why - he's not ugly by any means, but there is just something and I really find him hard even to watch.

Perhaps, through no fault of his own, he triggers a subconscious primal memory.

However, I didn't intend to upset anyone, and I can see why that comment might.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 21/10/2019 14:14

Treading carefully here, but most of the men will being wearing a 2" heel for Latin. It's just usually a block, not a stiletto. It helps get your weight forward.

ThursdayLastWeek · 21/10/2019 14:40

I’m just not into men being celebrated for something women do day in day out as standard - in this case dancers and heels.
It gives me the same feels when everyone admires the stay at home dad at the Playgroup.

I mean this in general terms with no reference to individuals.

IHaveBrilloHair · 21/10/2019 15:05

It's ok, Schadenfreude, you feel how you feel even though I want to lick him

xsquared · 21/10/2019 15:52

To be honest, I was just admiring Johanne's dancing and only noticed his heels on the second viewing after everybody else mentioned it.

I like Johannes. His fantastic and very good with his partner.

InvisibleWomenMustBeRead · 21/10/2019 15:55

I feel exactly the same way about AJ as you do @SchadenfreudePersonified.

Well, it’s good that Schaden apologised. I know we all say things like that about perfectly harmless people in our living rooms, but this is a public forum and we’re talking about dancers and celebs, not the subjects on Britain’s vilest murderers.

I love a good armchair bitch as much as anyone and MN is an extension of that, but I still think, while it’s okay to feel it, it’s another thing to call someone repulsive on social media where people who know and maybe love that person will see it.

I didn’t mean to derail thread by picking up on it, but it’s only week 5. I’d hate to imagine how strong some people’s loathing of AJ could be by the end if we carry on like this although I will admit to hating his hair

Peace out

IHaveBrilloHair · 21/10/2019 17:18

Omg, I love his hair, especially when it's styled so it goes floppy Grin
