Strictly Come Dancing 2024 #8

Anyway, if Chris is in, then that's a no thank you to Mollie Pearce after all. Maybe another year.

 

[UnknownTattler]

I've only really seen him on Have I Got News For You, but I like him, he's a good laugh. Will be a different challenge for his pro.

 

[ChastityDingle]

Joe Swash .. I’m still fuming he beat Perry from Diversity to the crown in Dancing on Ice.

You and me both. Never to be forgiven!

Be interesting for the judges comments as well - Anton will have to use words instead of sounds and gestures.

 

[LowCalCalzoneZone]

He's great! I remember him being on Blankety Blank/The Wheel/some other celeb quiz show with Shirley. She was trying to persuade him to do it, and he said they couldn't afford the insurance

 

[ChastityDingle]

I hope Anton ups his game anyway. He got away with a lot of blithering last year.

 

[Redline]

I like him and it certainly feels like someone Katya would rise to the challenge with - most likely with a dance that has them both in blindfolds or something.

It's been done - Fanny Rat and Georgia showdance! I just rewatched it there and it's a forgotten classic - she's pretending to be blind which is a tad problematic.... then the bit where she slides down his back like an enormous green worm! terrible choreo - just them twirling around for yonks, then he gets a big 'well done on yer spins!' moment, all while wearing a Man at C&A shirt and before he got his teeth done.

 

[glasgow27]

We can rule out Monday Morning Karen as his partner anyway.

Someone on DS suggested Dianne, I could see that happening but I'm kinda wincing at the idea of what she'd choreograph for him.

It's been done with one person blindfolded, but not both of them.

 

[Jusa]

What he's like personality wise? I know of him (although didn't know his name) but never watched him in anything.

I went to watch him on his last tour; he's very likeable, funny and intelligent

Has dancing with the stars in America had a blind contestant?

Yes - Paralympic skier Danelle Umstead, danced with Artem. Only made it to Week 2 though.

 

[lizzolyn]

DWTS in Ireland's most recent winner was blind; his pro wore the blindfold in the showdance in the final.

 

[glasgow27]

I see that Pasquale has posted about not staying loyal to those who don't appreciate you.

Can we assume he's yet another who has fallen out with the FR?

Oh quelle surprise he lied. But why, if the behaviour was ‘shocking’, was nothing done, and the show stood by him??

 

[Boogs]

If they were so shocked by his behaviour that they forced him to apologise why the hell did they stand by him and throw the complainants to the wolves?

 

[posy]

With them having invested in him and promoting him with Anton, they may have thought well he apologised and no formal complaint, all be OK. What we don’t know and will never know is were they going to bench him or was he back with a warning.

 

[soccergirl]

Wasn’t he hinting to his audiences he was coming back? It seems unlikely that they'd bring him back and bench him, just because of his loopy fans. Surely better to negotiate a graceful exit.

I see that Pasquale has posted about not staying loyal to those who don't appreciate you. Can we assume he's yet another who has fallen out with the FR?

Looks like he's maybe been dropped form the Ballando classes? and maybe not invited back to tour with Gio? which of course is Gio's right as his employer but... hopefully this brings back the Pasquale-Vito bromance.

Ooh so Amanda rang up the Fail after they published the lie that he asked for training to be recorded. She calls him 'nasty'!
