At the end of the day its a dancing show, the weakest dancers get eliminated and the strongest stay.

Also might I add theres a fair amount of hypocrisy in the public when it comes to ‘trained dancers’. Many fawned over the likes of Ashley and Faye last year and defended them with the ‘no ballroom experience’ line, but as soon as two male dancers who also have forms of experience are there suddenly the tables turned.

And thats not aimed at anyone in particular its just a general observation.

Ashley wasn't a musically trained stage actress though, Karim is. Ashley was literally a burlesque dancer.

I have seen 2 of the three plays I know Karim was in, Chitty and The Lion King and if he danced like they did in the shows I saw he has a distinct advantage. Considering this I am far more impressed with the likes of Michelle, Kelvin and Cath who have been great so far and have no experience.

Also Morgan that **** can be flipped too.

Alexandra and Ashley who had some experience were bloody hounded for it, Alex was driven to tears after being relentlessly attacked for 'pretending to struggle' yet very little is said about Karim who went to bloody Sylvia Young and has been in at least three major theater productions.

Fair enough about Karim tbh

My comment was more geared towards the kelvin comments really

Oh yeah totally, although a lot of the hounding came after the first couple of weeks (Ashley especially, she was loved until about 1/4 of the way through i seem to remember).

Ashley was regularly the best performer, if Karim was I would have no issue saying so but tonight for me he was pretty poor when you account for his experience, that's all I am saying.

Danny Mac and Jay from The Wanted had about the same level of training as people like Alex and Ashley had and I don't remember any of those two getting hate like Alex and Ashley either.

The Alex hate was so vicious.

I noticed the men get a pass depending on who they are of course , and certain women get a hard time .

Alexandra was given horrible hate & grief online , yet Joe had a musical dance background and was praised & won .

So yep definitely hypocrisy & inconsistency as Jill Half penny was clearly a trained dancer but was loved yet last year Ashley was slated for previous experience & found herself in the bottom 3 times or something ? .

Default Strictly Spoiler - Week 2

Spoiler:

Strictly hit the movies but whilst some of the couples were a box office smash the others flopped and found themselves in the Dance Off. Fortunately I have all the movie spoilers you could possibly crave. And the results! So here are the results: David and Anneka had to dance off. The judges saved David. Anneka was eliminated! Complaints to the BBC This week’s spoiler has come from an audience mole sourced by one of the groups I work with and should be accurate.

It's clear Kevin was disappointed with Anneka ever since he found out he was paired with her so he didn't even bother putting a good routine together for last night. I'm pleased he is out early this year

He doesn't know all the different dances. Same as Kelvin. But they have some dancing experience.
I know some of the others have also danced before.

It's good that we all have different opinions. Of course we're not going to agree all the time.
I just enjoy watching the show, it's the highlight of my Saturday night.
There are so many good dancers this year, we're going to lose some good ones soon.

Like I said if people want a competition with complete beginners with zero experience then all we'll have is politicians & Newsreaders , it would be boring.



It's not the celebrities fault if they have a dance background, they were picked to be on the show. And obviously if they're actors ,singers ,in the entertainment business then obviously they're going to have some experience. I don't like double standards .

Ed Balls was popular because he tried his best, he wasn't in it to be comedy act, unlike what katya now does with breakfast boy bushell


so the diverse celeb slots like politicians, newsreaders, royalty related (although the viscountess qualifies as a fashion model or as a businesswoman or in the chef slot)


what i love about lady emma is she started with no dance, no stage experience, and she is starting to develop into a dancer, last night i thought her effort at performing was good for a non-actress

so i hope producers won't kill her journey by throwing some random stupid too upbeat song onto her

if a latin, i prefer rumba i think, since she has done cha cha in week 1, she can learn from judges critique there in the rumba, and i think she is able to pull off some bit more glamorous version of the rumba



next out should be breakfast boy, and i cannot stand him at all, his whole ''look at me i'm the joke act and being proud of it'' crap

Working hard has nothing to do with dance experience
