Oh god, I'd forgotten all about his knees. I remember he even did an Insta vid the first week of training saying how much agony he was in. He made it seem like it was going to be a real issue.

Maybe the knees are currently on standby. Waiting in the wings to be wheeled out if another dance goes dodgy.

Joanne Clif-TEN highly approves of the wheeled knees.

I firmly believe that there are certain celebrities it’s better to know nothing about because learning about them ruins them utterly and that’s rapidly becoming the case with Will.

When he grumbled after the negative comments when he forgot his dance, I thought someone on his team would be smart enough to have a word and get him to shift his attitude pronto. Either they did and he didn’t listen or they don’t realise how poorly his more negative attitude fits on Strictly.

It’s not even an original quote Peter Kay said that “it’s called summer have a solero and shut up” probably over a decade ago.

I didn't mind Susan Calman on Strictly!

But I wish she hadn't done it, because her increased profile led to her doing those FECKING Bank of Scotland adverts that play before almost every Youtube or All4 show I ever watch, and if I have to hear the phrases "Are you lost wee laddie?" or even worse "Us Scots we’re something else…" once more, I will cringe so hard I might damage my internal organs.

(NB I am Scottish, and so am 100% allowed to hate those patronising, stereotyping, twee adverts on a deep and personal level)

Fellow Scot here...I also hate those bloody adverts!!! 😵‍💫

I do like Susan though and enjoy her travel shows 😂🙈

Am I missing something with James Bye? Other than his dancing being utterly dull, is he meant to be a heartthrob? He's about as sexy as instant porridge.

Mmmmm, instant porridge 🥣😁
Nope, definitely not a heartthrob. But likeable, imo. Just watched ITT and he is really taking everything on board and working hard. He won't win but he is giving it his all.

I used to watch Corrie years ago, and never liked Kym's character. I thought I wouldn't like her in Strictly and I know there's a lot of mentioning of how hectic things are, with Waterloo Road 😉 and so on, but you know, she is working damn hard and imo always gives a credible performance on the night. She came across tonight as very realistic about her chances.

I wish Friday's ITT was longer, and I loved how positive and perceptive Angela Rippon was in her comments. Would love to see her as a regular on ITT.

Lastly, I'm glad Rylan is dressing in his usual way, once again. 😁
And I wish he would take part in Strictly!
 
I so want to see Tony and Katya get to Blackpool. I think they'll pull something spectacularly entertaining out of the bag.

My 'go' list for the next three weeks (in order)

Will
James
Jayde

Nothing against James, he's just a bit meh. Jayde will move into second place if she goes drama again tomorrow night.

But who knows, maybe James and Jayde will bring the house down tomorrow!

I'd cut Kym after James & Jayde, I don't think she adds enough nor would be too sad about leaving.

Yep, I think James then Jayde then Kym is a very reasonable leaving order.

I do want Will to go as he's such an entitled grumpbag, but I also want to see what happens when he does a Charleston. I also reckon he'll give us a contempowaft of all contempowafts if he does a CC.

They offered a bye week, he turned it down. Thought he was Billy Big Balls and he’d get extra points for being a brave little soldier

Somewhere Caroline Quentin is saying "It's only a dance show"

I watched Wednesday's ITT last night and talking about a dance, Jayde said it's like walking around.
I am lolg even typing that. I know nothing about dancing and I was cringing at her saying it. i can't imagine how the actual dancers felt, hearing it, especially Karen, who has her work cut out, imo, doing everything to make it look like they are both dancing. Not Jayde walking around.

I don't remember which dance but you know what, it doesn't matter because that's all she has done from the start imo. And the judges do a mix of fawning over her and basically not criticising her or giving her any feedback she could learn from. I won't be sorry when she gets voted out.

I'm sorry but why isn't she dancing? It can't be her size as Lisa Riley always danced and didn't just walk in her stint.

Next week’s headline:

“I said on Instagram 6 weeks ago that I had an ouchy knee but the Judges don’t care”
