KEEP DANCING

@EineReiseDurchDieZeithope you’re on the mend or feeling a little better at least. And that you’ll still be able to enjoy Strictly this weekend.

I’m just posting to moan really about how annoying the constant representing of the place you come from ie Vicky who literally every time she speaks can’t seem to stop banging on about how proud she is to be Geordie. She’s prob been advised to, to help get the north eastern vote & for her “narrative”. And it’s sweet Kai is half Geordie too. And no disrespect to Newcastle it’s an amazing place which I spent 4 happy years living in. It just seems a bit scripted & relentless. Like does it really matter for your dancing?! Bah humbug of me but…! She is full of nervous energy so it could be that but I just find it a bit distracting & irrelevant after the point.

On a more positive note I just read that Alex is an ovarian cancer survivor and went through it only last year! Just cementing my admiration for her even more! Has it been made a storyline by the show? I may be v late to the party (as it were) on this one.

I suspect that this kind of narrative is very much driven by the production values of the show. They will have hours of footage but will pick out the two comments that mention being Geordie, or Welsh or young or flexible or whatever niche it is they have allotted to you. They will instruct those doing interviews to ask questions that relate to that 'thing'. This is after all a show that repeatedly dresses sports stars in sparkly fake sports kit, makes Stefan Dennis dance to the neighbours theme and Tony Adams dance to the match of the day theme. They don't do subtle.

Harry and Karen’s turn to get the animal costumes then if they’re doing Lion King.

Edited

I still have PTSD from Gio as a warthog!

I swear Vicky Giggles hates Karen. She's always dressed badly.

Betteboop · 10/10/2025 14:00

@WarrenTofficier ha that made me chuckle no no subtlety going on 🤣 Yes I’m sure they’re fed what to say to go with their USP so prob not their fault. I guess if I wanted pure dance I wld’nt be watching.

Thmssngvwlsrnd · 10/10/2025 18:43

Stefan Dennis is ill so won't be dancing this week.

tennissquare · 10/10/2025 18:44

No Stefan and Dianne this week as Stefan is ill - announced on Itt2.

xsquared · 10/10/2025 18:52

That's a shame. I hope he recovers well.

It irritates me to death.

Me too, but I try not too hold it against the contestant. Vicky being a Geordie was referenced on ITT tonight by one of the Friday panel so she isn't to blame. Professional northerner is one of the roles they like to assign, particularly to female contestants for some reason.

Well, that's one way to escape the danceoff.

So likely to be Ross vs Chris.

Indigovelvet · 10/10/2025 22:28

Pleased Dianne can put her feet up this week and have a few afternoon naps.

Betteboop · 10/10/2025 23:25

NorthernGirl1975 · 10/10/2025 19:40

Oh god yes 🙄

Ellmau · 09/10/2025 23:46

How do I do that?

Just write the time it starts in the thread title. You’ll be fine

Ross and Jowita have just been on local radio here in Edinburgh. He is so funny. They were taking about them doing the Paso this week and Jowita saying Ross needed to channel his inner Juan (Spanish name). She told Ross to add that to his name and concentrate. Ross said that was really difficult given his surname!

Ellmau · 11/10/2025 17:44

I don't think it's the end of the world.

Ellmau · 11/10/2025 17:46

I shall pretend it's an intentional pun on dance moves :)
