Previous thread

As always, a reminder that this is a SPOILER-FREE thread, so please don't comment on the result before the result show.

Jayde is always overmarked because they're afraid it will look as if they're criticising her weight. She looked awful tonight.

I do too. But I also find Frank n Furter in the Rocky Horror Show sexy as well.

Motsi mentioned Jade's weight I reckon cos of how large she is. Yeh rude but it's hard not to notice with those outfits.

Motsi comments to Jayde were disgraceful tonight.

Yes - when she danced with Darcey Bussell. Cringe.

In what way disgraceful?

Tony should have been even more over marked for more effort and just wearing underpants.

New thread

i didnt see Tyler last night becuase I had to pop away and i dont know him!
but just rewatched him, as well as Tony, and Will,
great rewatch
disappointed in Ellie T, hope she improves

Really had high hopes for Ellie T she can't seem to relax and let go.

The thing is that the whole VT before Jayde and Karen's dance was about body positivity and Jayde wanting to show that dance is for anyone, no matter their shape or size so Motsi was agreeing with her. Jayde said how proud she was to put her body on display, and Motsi was endorsing her. So that is hardly disgraceful.
Jayde is clearly very overweight (and I say that as someone who is a good 2 stone overweight) so ignoring it after she has talked about it would be ridiculous. She owns her size and is dancing anyway, for herself and for other people who may be ashamed or self conscious about their bodies. Hearing a judge saying she should be proud of that is surely a good thing?

Loved Molly , her and Tyler might make the final I think .

I actually didn't see the VT so didn't have that context, however, the very act of pointing out 'inclusivity', imo, isn't inclusive. The comment about Jayde struggling to get up was awful.

I am a size 20 to put this next comment into context. I was immensely looking forward to Jayde based on the dance routine she used to do.

I also thought she'd be very funny, based on the Serious Black Jumper special on Prime. She's just not doing it for me at all. Whether it's the big, emotional, thankful speeches or the fact that dancing with Karen makes for a difficult comparison, I'm not sure. Body positivity is also problematic for me - I am comfortable in my own skin as it happens but I am under no illusion that my excess weight is causing health issues for me.

I do find Karen a bit ott with her, the way she leapt over at the end when Jayde was still in the chair and the hugging and 'baby' and boops on the nose !

I'm overweight and could do with losing my belly , so seeing a lady embracing her size and going for it was good
She won't win , but she seems nice and fun and I like her

I just wish it didn't matter and no one felt the need to comment. Including Jayde herself.

She must be pretty tall as well. Weight aside, she looks like she's built on a whole different scale from Karen.

Exactly. That is what being inclusive is really about.

I love Karen but the boops on the nose are odd and quite infantilising.

meateatingveggie

I feel exactly the same.

I don’t sashay down out high street going ‘I’m a big lass - get ower it’

Nor do I stand in Markies screaming my sexual preferences.

I don’t go into work announcing I’ve been celibate for years.

Nor do I bubble to anyone who will listen that I have dead nans.

it isn’t relevant as I go about my day.

It shouldn’t be relevant on any skills programme on the television. I don’t need to hear it. I just want to see what you do with your feet/wooden toy/your scones/ your art/your summer frock from a box of rags.

I just want to see you shine at what you are trying to do.

I record and fast forward a lot more now.

Anyway. Not that it matters but I voted Matt, Tony and Ellie S.

There were some shockers last night that had silly marks. Some of that requires an adjust.

Sorry. I meant Ellie T. I think she could shine. She just isn’t really finding the sparkle at the moment.

Ellie S is, of course, bossing it. She is fabulous.

Jayde is 6ft 2 according to google. That's why I had her with Kai originally. He's the same height and seems decent build. Rather than lifts I thought they could have incorporated assisted jumps and rolling over the back moves.

Nor would I have put Hamza and Jowita together, although it appears to be working in the main. He stands at 5ft 8 and again, has a bigger frame. She is the smallest pro at 5ft 3 and a tiny, slip of a thing but assuming she wears quite big heels.

Really think matt g is going to have to up his game and his attitude
he is coming across as. 'All this is beneath me ' not good

I do agree about Karen and Jayde the boops on the nose. Get over yourself stop draping yourself over Jayde

Hi didn't on ITT yesterday - he came across as quite self deprecating and humble, even cracked a joke or two!
