Hi Everyone!

Started this slightly early as I have some distractions nearer the time.

The general consensus was for a Weekly Thread so please move across to this shiny new one.

Thanks

Eine

Ross about the same level as Chris for me.

Someone explain George Clarke? I though he did programmes about houses..

My daughter has just told me he's a young tuber and all the youngsters fancy him. No idea myself.

This is the OTHER George Clarke!

NowNumber5 · 27/09/2025 20:17

Looks promising 🤞

It's the way she does it though. She really gets the tone wrong sometimes.

Show quote history

Craig is much more consistent whereas Shirley can be quite unpredictable in whether she'll play nice or critical from person to person.

She must think she’s judging a dancing competition. How dare she talk about turned in toes?

Show quote history

She didn't when judging Ellie. It was all "sparkle" and "fabulous" and ignoring the flat feet.
Be consistent with your approach Shirl. That's what makes it equal.

Yes! His girlfriend and his sister 😯

Show quote history

What!? She is both his girlfriend AND his sister?

Sorry. I couldn’t resist it.

Loving this

Love the outfits. Very Torvill and Dean

Netaporter · 27/09/2025 20:18

This is charming. He’s done very well.

His Dad is one of the creators of Wallace and Grommit.

ThAt was over quick!

FuzzyPuffling · 27/09/2025 20:18

Oh nice one, PoshGeorge.

Holluschickie · 27/09/2025 20:18

Not bad at all.

I feared she would be patronised, I hope it’s not a weekly thing!

Show quote history

I'm waaay behind, as I had to stop for dinner. I didn't think they were patronising to Ellie. They were just explaining it more clearly for her in simpler terms.
A few years ago I used to teach kids with Downs syndrome who danced. I wish I was still doing it just so I could see their faces on Monday morning because they would be beside themselves!

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 27/09/2025 20:18

Calm down Tess

Pancakeflipper · 27/09/2025 20:18

Well he might know fuck all about buildings but this George Clarke can dance.

Ellmau · 27/09/2025 20:18

George's dancing is lovely - an unexpected surprise there.

Redcrayons · 27/09/2025 20:18

no idea who he is. He’s pretty good.

Seacatt · 27/09/2025 20:18

Fabulous! A joy to watch.

He is very good though and I don’t think he’s in any way a ringer

Other George Clarke must have been gutted when Lewis joined late 😂
