What is a Beryl please ?

I honestly thought it was what people on here were calling all Harman fans so I assumed I was one and was being dug out a bit the other night (which I understand) but now I'm seeing FB Beryls mentioned and that they decide the yearly winners ??

I would say a Beryl is the older Strictly fan who makes up a big chunk of the Strictly audience, who is on Facebook but doesn’t really know how social media works, the type who joins the spoiler groups and then says "please don't post any spoilers" :LOL: I wouldn't call anyone on Tattle a Beryl.

Apologies if this has been answered already but has Karen and her husband split? She doesn't have rings on anymore and doesn't have much to say about him compared to normal..
I hadn't noticed the rings, but you are right! I'd assumed it was simply fact he was having a social media break. Wasn't there something odd with his health?

I love it 🤣.
Just caught up on ITT from last night and tonight. Loved seeing Fleur and Vito reunited 😁
 
Also, just because you might be a fan of whomever the Beryl's favour, doesn't mean you are one. They also annoyingly tend to think their chosen ones are in imminent danger every week, when they're in no danger whatsoever 😆

this is almost exactly how i feel about bobby 🤣

just more that the FB beryls think he’s a lovely young man and his mum would be so proud. and he can obviously cultivate a wide-eyed gaze in the way that only a young male contestant can get away with. the beryl vote is indeed a strong one. doubled up with the “aw isn’t he sweet” vote, he’s going all the way to the final.

Yeah, I said a while ago that I think there is quite a big crossover in fan demographic with Nigel and Bobby. They both appeal to core voters in their own way. It's easy to forget, due to Bobby's general unpopularity on here, that he is actually popular. There's maybe a slight chance they could cancel each other out in the final.

Layton on ITT - I know he can get on peoples wick, but he really makes me giggle. Also, he does seem genuinely enthusiastic and invested. I love his interactions with Nikita.

I'm liking Layton too. Yep he's unashamedly full on but I think there are layers to him, which as the weeks slog on, hopefully we will see more.

I'm thankful to everyone's comments about Beryls as I was starting to fret that I was one, despite not really being a massive Facebook fan. Phew!
 
I hope Karen is okay - it must be hard going through something as intense as being a partnered pro if you're having a hard time in your personal life.
Bizarrely she’s seemed absolutely glowing recently and obviously gets on well with Eddie. He seems the right kind of man to be your mate when you aren’t having the best time. I am NOT implying anything I hasten to add, just that she seems on the surface to be ok.

I get what you mean and Eddie seems like a great mood lightener and support if you're going through a crisis.

I suppose for all we know if it ended, she ended it herself and she's happier now.

Something I hadn't noticed for a while is that she did the dog ears at the beginning of the show. I think it's lovely that she wants to let her pets know she's thinking of them.

I like Layton too. I hope that he and Nikita absolutely have their best performance yet, on Saturday night. Nikita is one of the top pros, imo. I think he is enjoying having a new challenge this year. He is a sweetheart.

Watched last night's ITT earlier and the other Nikita was so lovely too. Really sincere and I thought Fleur handled the interview well. Gorka boosted her confidence and while it was obvious she was going to be the next out, after Les, I think he worked hard to make it a good experience for her.

I know some people have said he has checked out, and so on, and while he will never be my favourite pro, I think it's moreso that he is by nature, quite reserved, in interviews. So compared to the very expressive Graz or Johannes, for example, he comes across differently. There was a nice connection there and a gracious departure. Neither of them can fault the way they took on their Strictly partnership.

Interesting to see who will be next out. Zara? Jody? Adam?
 
Didn’t someone say on here at the time that when he looked at Rose he saw a glitterball with legs?
I want to say that might’ve been me. If it was I stand by it, if it wasn’t, I also stand by it😂

Lol at red hair stans on DS saying criticising Bobby's behaviour is "an indirect way to attack Dianne". WTactualF?! How obsessed with Dianne do you have to be to jump to that conclusion?
Ridiculous from ds, nothing to do with her just noting that he’s been a bit poor in his judgement. He’s 20 also, it’s being blown up hugely I think
 
Beryls also spend half their time on FB yelling ‘Well that’s my opinion Maureen, but I can see I’m not welcome in this group anymore’ etc

this from Monkseal on DS made me giggle:

How did they get to that conclusion? All I've seen is people be supportive of Dianne and saying Bobby's behaviour isn't fair on her, even on here where people wouldn't be the biggest fan of her.

Yes Bobby is actually uniting the thread when it comes to Dianne. I hope she feels like she can get support if she feels she needs it.

Is Layton the first one to stand up to Vicky Gill? I saw those trousers with a bit of a skirt... no. He'll have something even more hideous this week for that.
