And after a couple of days of pure anxiety for this mega fan who uses Strictly Saturday’s as a crutch to get through Winter… I’ve really enjoyed the last hour!

We’ve agreed to disagree over certain things, and sometimes I’ve wanted to pipe up in the heat of the moment… but as soon as I saw that Mardy Mellor was back in the mix, I knew the banter was rolling! 🙏🏻 ✨ 💃🏻 🕺🏻🪩
 
Remember when Vom Fletcher did the paso doble and thought he was the shit in his Vicky Gill special but he actually looked like Father Dougal in his matador costume?

More Matalan than matador, darling.

Since then he was very good in the Mr Bates vs the Post Office series.
Strictly was a very strange time for him and the viewer. Not what anyone was expecting 😂

He gave us a lot of entertainment, in fairness. 😁 And he ended up trying to console Nancy when they were eliminated. She was heartbroken.

Any time that particular series of Strictly features on old episodes of Gogglebox, and I see him doing that stupid little jump as the couples are introduced, I'm done 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Those were the days 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
I’ve been lurking on this thread for the last week, but I’m so glad I’ve found it!

I’ve watched SCD since day one of series one and I suppose I’ve had rose tinted glasses about it, the show could do no wrong… There are individual elements I’ve not liked but generally it’s my happy place.

I got tickets to the semi final last year after a decade of applying! and I absolutely loved it, it was everything I hoped it would be. So obviously all of this year’s news has made me so sad. It’s taken the shine off of one of the best shows I’ve ever watched live. Graziano was so lovely at the recording and I am so angry that I was fooled.

I really hope there’s a reckoning in the coming weeks and months. It’s clearly been treated with kid gloves, “too big to fail” and there hasn’t been enough oversight. The big bosses at the Beeb need to get a grip of it.

All of that to say, I still love it and I will continue to watch and yes I’ll probably still apply for tickets 🤣 my son was one year too young to be my Plus One last year and he was *furious* that I went without him!🫣

I’d imagine the point is that if abusing your partner is a sacking offence now, why are people who abused their partner still working on the show?

Well in the case of Anton, the following year Anne Widdecombe said she'd only do the show with Anton.

They knew she'd be a newsworthy contestant - so Anton stayed. And used his partnership with Widdecombe to become the comedy partner of older women.

I think Strictly is coming close to a tipping point. At this point I can't see this series going ahead.

Not unless they fill it with Love Islanders. And Gemma Collins!!!
 
Found this clip of Shirley teaching - might give an insight into how she approaches Strictly and views some of these scandals:


Can't say her teaching style is my cup of tea, but kinda expected worse.

BBC 'faces £1million legal bill' over Strictly misconduct scandal

Now, lawyers Carter Ruck, who are representing a number of past celebrity contestants, are 'lining up claims for physical or mental health harm, and loss of earnings.'

This doesn't make much sense though. If, as it appears, there is no video evidence against Giovanni, and he denies everything, Amanda and the others won't get any compensation.

The Mail and others love a 'Strictly in meltdown' story. Remember when Vito fell off a chair during the dance-off and they restarted it and it was front-page 'Strictly Chaos'?

Which then fuelled loads of hate towards Fleur as the article implied her routine was restarted because of a "mistake" which led the usual mob to believe it was a fix (as per usual).
