It's not just you @xsquared,
I thought exactly the same

I still watch Danny Mac’s dances though. I never go back and watch Ore’s! Thank goodness for the ringers imo!

I never voted to Danny either. He came in at a high level and stayed there. Unsurprisingly. He didn't improve. He was basically a pro from the start.

Obviously you can't have a cast full of Duffers but I really don't like the Ringiest Ringers.

I used to read MonkS but it was too long and got a bit NTM for me. I loved the bit that was already posted about the straight community; he didnt care much for MV then ?
`i quite liked Neil's cheekiness in the face of the SERIOUS record keepers . He's like a naughty schoolboy. I agree about him and Alex "Sitting Dangerously close to each other " Is\was she in a relationship?

NTM?

Near the mark Soup

Ah. I guessed that but wasn't sure if it was something else 😂

I'm not a huge fan of Monkseal as it's just not my thing.

Yes I thought Alex and Neil were a bit cosy on the sofa

I always think Neil looks like he's trying to sit on Alex's knee. She never looks completely comfortable with it though - I'm not seeing any relationship there at all.

Not sure Twatting funny how we all see things differently (not funny, of course we're all different )

I meant to say Soup that I too do not care for the ringiest of ringahs apart from Jay of course, he was shy which got me

You see Twatting, I think she looks very comfortable with him. There was a clip last week where she turned in to Neil for a hug.

No idea whether they're in a relationship. Even when he was with Katya, I only saw a platonic and professional kind of chemistry between them.

Yes x and in that amazing dance they did on Saturday she seemed really happy to get back into his arms. I know it's called a "hold" to me it seemed more than just that .

According to my Radio Times email, 200 people complained to the BBC about the same sex pairing of Johannes and Graziano, finding it offensive.

I'm gobsmacked that it would offend anybody, let alone so much that they would actually contact the BBC to complain about it.

Not a word about MV wittering on about her gays, so they are selective in their bigotry.

I despair, I really do...

That came up on my chrome news feed earlier I mean come on eh

Seriously? Two best mates dancing together? Some people need a life. I may open a grip shop - people out there are in desperate need, obviously.

Is there some conspiracy between the pros this year? Are they all deliberately stuffing up the challenge so, I dunno, Anton can ride off into the sunset with a botofogo world record and his couple of tens?

I wondered that too - are they trying NOT to break Artem's record?

Doing a very speedy catch up I'm not sure whether the scented spray is to clear Karim's bats or to disinfect the dancefloor post-contemptowaft.....

If you want a laugh read the comments on the Mail article about viewers complaining about 2 males dancing together.

Comments like "I don't care what they do behind closed doors but don't want to see it on tv"!!! They danced for goodness sake not had sex. Also only 1 of the male dancers (Johannes) is gay.

I wonder if it had been 2 females dancing together if people would have complained?

WTF is going on with the pro challenge? It's one of my favourite things during strictly to see how they all do.

Just caught up with the past two nights ITT & don't understand what's going on.

AJ and Curtis being strict trainers and expecting them to pick up the routines like that made good viewing editing Viv saying AJ was only little but a feisty one cracked me up. AJ might well be more alpha and whiplashy in training than I thought bless him. He is so much shorter than his brother, I hadn't realised.
Looking forward to seeing greatest dancer Ellie at the weekend. I like Birdy although it seems too soon after Ashley's showdance but looking forward to it. I think dancing to the Irrepressibles track helped secure her the win. Seems like a lovely girl and her teacher is so nice.

According to my Radio Times email, 200 people complained to the BBC about the same sex pairing of Johannes and Graziano, finding it offensive

I worked this out today against the viewing figures

0.00023% of the people who saw it complained

Hardly news worthy.

Too many naughts
0.0023%

I don't know why we haven't seen any female/female couples. It's much more common in the ballroom world than male/male!
