Strictly 2025 : The SPOILER Thread (Results and Couplings)

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Starting this a bit early as Spoilers for the couplings could come out at any time.

Thread will normally be the location for the weekly spoiler but will be spoilers for who is paired with who before the 20th if we can get them.

Thanks!

And? Why are you so hung up on his speech? Rather bullying imo.

Jesus Christ, it’s not bullying to point out something that is incorrect.

You wouldn't do it in rl. It would make the person you said it to look a fool. Pointing out errors in speech is rude and a tad bullying.

Anyway I'm on here for the dancing. As I'm sure most are.

Absolutely, so calling someone else a bully because they said or did something you wouldn’t do isn’t exactly focusing on the dancing.

It's regional dialect.

No it's not. What a silly thing to say. Stop bandying bullying around when it's clearly not.

It's bad grammar.

Exactly. Non of it is relevant.

🥱

I don’t know how/why this odd chat broke out but this is supposed to be the thread for discussing the spoiler. The general chat thread is active. Thanks all.

Yes my fault. I should have posted on Pedants Corner. I found a jarring to hear.

Let's move on.

Who are Dani and Kristian? Are they the ones who were supposed to be contestants? Were they both ringers?

@chaosmakerDani Dyer should’ve been with Nikita dropped out due to injury. Not a ringer. Kristian Nairn, also not a ringer dropped out before partners got allocated due to health reasons

the daughter Dyer?

no idea who the other one is. Thanks

Yes @chaosmakerthe daughter. The other one is from Game of Thrones

Can't watch that until George RR Martin writes the rest of the books....... First onewas written in the 90's :(

I know, I’ve read the first five and the plot does differ in a number of respects as well

not just that, they will all look different to how I know them in my head. Just started rereading them.

I thought I stumbled on a Game of Thrones thread, then realised it was because Hodor withdrew before even starting Strictly.

Anyway, I think it should be Alex and Bal in the DO tonight with Alex to leave. She is done and she would be relieved.

I feel very sad about Alex. It feels like she’s just given up. I wanted her to win or at least be in the final

I agree, I had so much hope for her. This is the first week I've not voted for her because I think she just wants to go home and rest.

Agree re Alex. I voted for her but maybe she wants out. It’s sad if dancing is only for young women

George Martin really went down in my estimation when years ago he avoided finishing the series and did anything else instead. Procrastination should not be an option for a successful author. It was his decision to write a ridiculously complex series so he should deal with the consequences. Kudos to JK Rowling for having a plan and executing it

@2RebeccaI think GRRM is another who has just said Fuck It. I don’t think we’ll see TWOW or ADOS in his lifetime - maybe posthumously involving Elio Garcia and Linda Antonsson from Westeros.org

I've never read those Martin books, so none of this makes sense
