Kym Marsh was fantastic last night and fair play to her, at 46 she looks amazing. Best dance of the night for me.

Giovanni won't be getting his hands on the Glitter ball this time I don't think!

I am still trying to get my head around the same sex dance partners, fascinated really. I really enjoyed John and Johannas last series.

High budget show and very entertaining you've got to love a bit of Strictly!

I'm no fan of strictly, but last night I was unfortunate enough to witness the Italian version on Rai Uno.

Mrs DC said it was so bad Tony Adams would win it with his legs strapped together.

Many fans wanting the BBC to show the result on Saturday night, then it's done with. Makes sense.

He really did. I'm not in the least bit Homophobic, but he really looked proper ****** off in the first show when paired up wi Richie. He's a great male professional dancer, put him with a female, and let him get on with it. Richie should have been with Johannes.

The worst part has got to be the judges dancing up to wherever they happen to be sitting. Christ how bad is that.
A tired old format that just can’t be modernised, especially the way they are trying to do it now. Last year was IMO their high point with the silent dance. That was a triumph. They should have finished it then, on a high. This year it is just a parody of itself.

It’s amazing, plenty of criticism from posters yet they still watch it, why would you if you don't like it? Can I suggest for those that like a good moan that they turn their tv off or change channels. Very simple really. Some of us actually do enjoy it.

You really have to laugh when a guy who has happily used the most offensive terms to describe users of this site, pejorative terms that are often used in connection with mental and physical disabilities, comes on here to lecture us because he imagines that a poster is somehow afraid of people who are gay or disabled.

Also, what exactly is woke about strictly? It’s a light and mostly wholesome entertainment show that tries to be inclusive with its contestants. Oh no, what horror

I haven't watched Strictly for a few years now, however it's certainly better than most of the other rubbish the channels constantly churn out, and as a Saturday night offering it's harmless enough.

Pity there isn't any choice on offer for those who don't wish to watch the mainstream telly isn't there.

Maybe you do but normal people on here will appreciate the spats I got into with one particular poster - thankfully now banned or just cleared off - were as a result of his incessant baiting.
His constant references to various subjects and his strange way of expressing his views ticked every box for the symptoms of autism which I pointed out with politeness and with some concern, having been involved with the issue to some extent as a teacher for nigh on forty years. I make no apology for that. The guy needed help. His bans from the board tended to back that up.
Luckily, he has moved on as has time. I know you were a great supporter of his politics and behaviour on here and still hold enough of a grudge to have a go at me at any opportunity but you really do need to get over it.
I'm assuming that you are neither offended nor frightened by gay or disabled folk appearing on our screens?

You have never pointed anything out with politeness. That is a totally alien concept to you. You use threats and abuse from the safety of your keyboard. Evenhardereddie the guy who claims to have sucker punched Frank Lampard at Stamford Bridge. I’m sure we all believe that
You called someone a mong. That is the term you used. Nothing to do with autism. You claim to have been a teacher, but there is no place in our education system for anyone who can happily use the term mong to describe anyone.

Indeed, Bosscat.
What a strange response from this character..
It makes you wonder how long this pent up hatred has been waiting to burst out.
I guess some folks have neither the manners nor the dignity to behave correctly, despite the oft-given advice.
A great pity. I hope the thread can continue.

Just having a quick glance around the forum as I have my cornflakes.....I've have seen it all now even a thread about something so innocent as Strictly come dancing gets hijacked for a feud between two posters to carry on their agenda against each other....is nothing sacred on here anymore?
Shocking absolutely shocking.

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Wed Oct 12, 2022 1:54 pm

In response to the comments about me saying freak and woke pretty much describe it these days. Freak was probably a poor choice of a word but I posted in response to someone who called it a freak show. Before I go any further let me explain that I'm an old bugger with old fashioned values. I have a son who has Muscular Dystrophy and lives at home with us and I have friends who are gay, in fact I used to travel to work with a young lady half my age who was a Lesbian and we got on well. I do fully support the inclusion of dancers with disbalilities and have nothing against gays. Whilst saying that I don't wish to see men or women dancing together and fawning over each other.

I really don't see why some posters think I'm offended by Strictly simply because I think it has gone too far with diversity. In fact I think I'm more offended at posters thinking I'm offended (said tongue in cheek but you get my point) I don't choose to watch Strictly but my wife does so I usually end up watching most of it. I'm not that adverse to it that I need to walk out of the room but usually sit there on y laptop while it's on so it's not a case of switching the TV off or changing channels.

I think the inclusion of people with disabilities like Jonnie Peacock, Ellie Simmonds and Rose Ayling-Ellis is a good thing and I really appreciate the efforts they make. In fact Giovani and Rose winning last year was the most amazing thing I have seen on Strictly. The dance with the silence in it was a thing of pure beauty and I have to admit it almost brought tear to my eye. This was probably Strictly's finest moment.

I really don't see the need to have same sex couples dancing together and is definitely very Woke IMO. They can be diverse and include gay people who could dance with a dancer of the opposite sex and if they choose not to because they're offended then it them that has a problem with straight people. It is about a man and women dancing together and has nothing to do with sexuality. In fact Susan Calman pretty much summed it up when she was asked about dancing with a male partner despite her being gay. In an interview she said that she had received and abuse and bad comments from the Lesbian community because of it and her reply that it was her choice because dancing was not about sexuality but about a man and woman dancing together.

Strictly is a dance compeition which was entertaining but entertinment and diversity have taken over and dancing is now secondary. Posters have commented on Giovannis reaction to getting a male partner and being not to unhappy when voted off. This just highlights where the show has gone too far to please the Woke brigade, giving a dancer like Giovanni a male partner after what he achieved last year was unnececassary and quite insulting to him IMO. Can you really blame him for his reaction.

Anyway, that is all my opinion and I'm happy with it. Feel free to disagree with it, I will respect your opinion. Please respect mine and don't make out that I'm in some way offended when I have said nothing to even indicate that I am.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Wed Oct 12, 2022 3:03 pm

Can you define what Woke means?

Swizzlestick · Post by **Swizzlestick** » Wed Oct 12, 2022 3:16 pm

Same sex couples dancing in professional competition is increasingly common and there's a long history of it in dances like the tango.

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Wed Oct 12, 2022 3:24 pm

As far as I can see, being woke in the case of Strictly, as someone pointed out, a peak time entertainment show and not some evil indoctrination conspiracy, means not being intimidated/frightened/shocked/offended/upset/
disturbed or bothered in any way by people with a disability or being gay appearing on the show.

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Wed Oct 12, 2022 5:52 pm

Absolutely, thanks for that, Steve.
As far as my role in any shenanigans on this thread, I have to say in my defence that I commented upon the poster's crass talk of the show being for freaks and wokeism and the guy himself has sort of addressed that, to his credit. No further er, "contributions" were necessary but what followed was some weird tirade - consisting of lies by the way - from some insignificant foe from God knows when.
Most of us appear to have learned and moved on from the squabbling days, most but not all.
For what it's worth, I quite like the Strictly spectacle whoever is in it and me and the missus have booked to see the Tour in Brum for the third year running.
Getting ring-side seats watching Nadge Bichkova, of course, is an advantage but, touch wood - no pun intended - all the performers on tour put on a cracking show.
They did the silent few moments of Rose's dance last year and it was an astonishing few seconds even though you knew what was coming.
It's like anything else, if you don't like it, don't watch it.
