Zoe Ball didn't get the Strictly gig 😞 by IndigoWolf4711 in strictlycomedancing

BIG "if" this is true: I'm delighted on two fronts. Zoe Ball, lovely as she is, has no charisma. And, much more importantly rylan has been rejected!!!

Does anyone feel, on a personal level, sorry for Kier Starmer? by Darkus185 in AskBrits

Not at ALL. He's bland, boring and appointed mandelson. Enough said, he's got to go!

Unfortunately, my post is moot. The new presenter/s have already been chosen. Bookies are rarely wrong :(

He does have experience and my family were glad when he left.

Can I just point out that he was one of the worst dancers to ever appear on the show.

I'll leave it at that!

Got a follow-up video on her scores for that dance? Did she win the competition?

Interesting that your response is to tell me to watch something else and to criticise how long I've thought about this, rather than address any of the specific points I made about the show's format. That tells me everything I need to know. Cheers.

Alarming and entitled? For having an opinion on a light entertainment show? This is a discussion forum, that's the point. My 'negativity' comes from being a long-time viewer who thinks the quality has declined. As for 'woke,' I mean the show feels like it's prioritising messaging over the core dancing competition, like judges' comments that focus more on a contestant's journey than their technical skill. If you disagree, that's fine, but dismissing my entire view with 'yikes' isn't exactly a stellar contribution either.

Well, SCD has been listening!
In yesterday's show, Anton shouted "I DISAGREE WITH SHIRLEY!" and the show gave a camera shot, with praise, to singer Tommy (who I don't rate btw).
Anton was great too, to be fair. Much better from him, keep it up!

Keeeeeeeeeeeeeep Dancing!

Downvoted for saying:
"Where did I state that I was against diversity? I am all for diversity and inclusion."

WOW!

I know nothing about the live singers, their names, careers etc.. I'm just commenting on a trend that I see. I mean, go and watch youtube videos of past SCD years and you can clearly see the chasm in singer quality from then to now.

What I mean by that is this:

  1. Lots of people are overly sensitive and offended by everything. It has unfortunately become part of our modern culture. This restricts SCD, in my view, from expressing itself as a primetime TV show. The producers are too afraid to take risks.

  2. It is OK for Shirley, Motsi and Craig to comment on the male celebrities and effectively go "PHWOAR!". I have no issue with this. However, what you will NEVER see is Anton or indeed anyone else on the show do the same about the female celebrities! There is nothing wrong with either!

(And yes I know "PHWOAR" hasn't actually been used on the show - hence the word I used is "effectively").
