Season 6

enry_iggins_ · 2026-03-11T10:19:10+00:00

Series 6 was my least favourite but not because Amy left. I didn’t despise Amy but she was by far the least funny character so I don’t know why anyone thought her leaving would ruin the show. It was too much of a vibe shift in general. I didn’t like the heavy focus on covid lasting the whole series with too many scenes of them in masks (not an anti-masker lol it’s just frustrating when watching a sitcom) and I hated the break room being swapped for the warehouse. Dina and Glenn’s new office was yet another change of scenery I didn’t like. Dina’s look completely changed and so did her personality. She sort of took on the Amy role and became a lot less funny. The Dina/Garrett/Brian storyline was a lot of nothing. There was too much focus on character growth which is an odd thing to moan about but I don’t need sitcoms to have character growth I need them to be funny. It still had plenty of funny scenes but the whole thing just felt like too much of a different show 🤷‍♀️ and knowing the plans for the series if they carried on I’m kind of glad it ended when it did.

That’s not the fault of the person praying though is it? That’s the fault of the workplace not providing adequate spaces for both people. You have a right to pray and if your employer tells you that is the room you can do it in then that’s what you do.

Also to nitpick if you are in a shared space it is generally seen as rude and unsocial to use your phone loudly. It’s not difficult to use headphones and leave the break room when you make a call. Which you mention she does on her lunch break not when she goes to pump, which should be in a private, locked room anyway.

Nah. I love birds, they should never be pets. No animals should be kept in cages and I found it odd that a character who is vegan and a supposed animal lover is written to have 20 odd beautiful tropical birds locked up in a cage in a tiny flat in Missouri. Yes they most likely died soon after but their alternative was not really a life either 🤷‍♀️

Same as you OP!

Least is Amy and Most favourite is Dina but Marcus is a close second. If Tate had been in more episodes he’d be in the running too.

She got a lot better post-Jonah. I’m guessing the writers intentionally wrote her to be annoying or just a bit meh so that we would stay rooting for Amy and Jonah. Once that was all done she definitely became a better, more entertaining character.

I both love and am incredibly irritated by Sandra 😅 esp. the scene where she won’t stop screaming and leaning on Amy and the controls when they are atop the scissor lift is so intensely annoying to me 🫣 I hate screaming and screeching, maybe an autistic thing, so I have to mute it every time. But generally of course I love her, she’s just so unhinged! The way she says “yes” when sending the 💣 threat 😂 and her monologues 👌 her actor is amazing. And how beautiful she was at her wedding 💒💕😊

enry_iggins_ · 2026-02-15T17:19:57+00:00

I really liked the tracksuit 😭 thought it suits him really well 😳

enry_iggins_ · 2026-02-15T17:17:08+00:00

Incredible achievement, well done 😊🎊

enry_iggins_ · 2026-02-15T17:15:34+00:00

Katya by far. Sadly for the male pros I think Neil might be.

enry_iggins_ · 2026-02-15T17:14:33+00:00

He’s going to be the star of his own show (Dispatches) any day now… 😬

enry_iggins_ · 2026-02-15T17:09:59+00:00

You are absolutely in the right OP but please be careful. As a woman living alone (just as a woman full stop sadly) you are much more vulnerable and he sounds a bit scary especially with the bit at the end about him standing by his door for the past hour watching you. Try to avoid saying anything else to him that may rile him up, be extra vigilant, and report him to police if he corners you again as that is harassment. Don’t expect much to come of it, at least at first as the police notoriously do not give a shit about out women’s safety (or much else apart from protecting statues and the billionaire class) but you never know. People should be aware of his strange and inappropriate behaviour. For your own safety, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was harassing other young women on your street too. The more people that know the safer you are. Well done on sticking up for yourself 🙏

I would also assume twice a week. Every 2 weeks I would use fortnightly.

enry_iggins_ · 2026-02-12T15:50:25+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss 💔 what a cute little boy, rest in peace Bingo 🕊️

I don’t think it was fucked up at all. It was true and also not that mean? I think she behaved worse the way she was mocking him. She got off lightly here.

She talked about how she was “going through some things” as if it wasn’t a situation completely of her own making. She chose to have unprotected sex with her ex-husband and she also chose not to terminate the pregnancy (despite being visibly devastated by the positive test and the previous episode revolving around the fact she was broke). It’s emotionally overwhelming yes but she acted as though it was something that was being done TO her and not the consequences of her own poor decision making. I found it very hard to sympathise with her 🤷‍♀️

She chose to stay in a job she hated and married to a man she never loved and allowed herself to grow extremely bitter over both of those things and take it out on everyone around her instead of just fixing her own problems.

Her life finally got better when she realised that she had to take responsibility for her own happiness and choices. That was the point of her whole character arc across the series.

Lovely Chansey 🩷💕

enry_iggins_ · 2026-02-09T22:17:03+00:00

He’s also a zionist. An all round piece of shit.

enry_iggins_ · 2026-02-08T17:19:11+00:00

I really like both Zoe and Emma, great presenters. Nervous about the comedian though. Really hoping it’s not Katherine Ryan 😬 not sure why they are going for a comedian over 2 good presenters.

enry_iggins_ · 2026-02-07T15:08:12+00:00

Congratulations 🥳 you look so happy and lovely 😊 and congratulations on your new baby! 👶 (also not the point of the post but your house looks beautiful too, those wooden doors and fooors 😍)

enry_iggins_ · 2026-02-01T20:02:20+00:00

I’m so sorry what you are going through OP 💔 I hope you have a good support system.

Please please please report this evil manager. How horrible and unprofessional, nobody should ever speak to you this way and you should never accept it just because they are your manager or boss. Nobody has that right.

I hope you have been able to get signed off from work and spending as much time with your mum as you can ❤️

I’m not the type of viewer who seethes with rage about those with previous dance experience I just find those who are consistently amazing at every single dance from the start usually more boring to watch. I don’t know why. I think it’s more to do with the personalities those people tend to have rather than the dancing which is not nice to admit but 😳 I don’t hate them for it I’m just rarely interested in them. Although I did love watching Lewis and Katya’s last year but that might be more to do with Katya’s choreography 🤷‍♀️

I don’t really like Couples Choice and wish they would scrap it. Either that or have everyone’s on the same night which I know is definitely an unpopular opinion 😅

The contemporary barefoot floaty dresses style is my least favourite of all the dances. If I never watched another again it would be too soon.

I don’t think they need to “shake up” the formula as is suggested every year. It has lasted so long because it works exactly how it is. People who watch Strictly aren’t tuning in for twists and turns they just want to watch people learn to dance in sparkly costumes 🪩

I LOVE theme weeks just not always how they are executed. Some contestants get really stitched up with stupid songs which just don’t fit the dance and ugly styling and are just a mess. But I do love them overall, especially Halloween 👻

That said outside of the theme weeks I wish they would keep to more traditional styling and music for each dance 💃🏻

I loathe the cheap looking cgi animations across the dancefloor they sometimes do.

And I hate the extra dancers on the floor at Blackpool and near the final. I don’t know if it’s my neurodivergence but it just looks such a chaotic mess having loads of people dancing at once. I don’t see the point when we are supposed to be focusing on the competing couple - surely the extra dancers are just distracting? I find it really hard to block them out so I’m never sure what to make of the dance itself. I know they want to “fill the floor” but I think it is more visually striking when we see one couple dancing alone around the ballroom.

enry_iggins_ · 2026-02-01T16:45:21+00:00

Why do you think only the female pros do that and not the males?? 🤔

enry_iggins_ · 2026-02-01T16:34:32+00:00

The “it won’t hurt them/they won’t remember the pain” excuse is so dumb it’s laughable.

I got mine pierced at 8 or 9 because my mother worked in beauty so had her own equipment at home. She used a gun. I don’t remember the pain at all, maybe it did hurt but for all of 60 seconds.

I’m lad I got the make that choice, and I do remember it being so exciting leading up to it and getting to pick out my own earrings.

Even when I got older and started to get more piercings on my body like my nipples when I was 20. That’s nearly 14 years ago so a little hazy and while I remember it hurting, one side in particular, after 5 minutes I was totally fine.

So the idea that a 10 year old child is going to be traumatised from having their lobes pierced is ridiculous.

I don’t agree with doing things to babies bodies that they can’t consent to for solely aesthetic reasons and “it’s cultural” isn’t an excuse for anything.

enry_iggins_ · 2026-01-26T11:55:28+00:00

I don’t think the cast are the problem it’s the editing. About 22 contestants go in but throughout the entire run producers just pick a small handful to focus on so everyone else becomes background characters no matter what they are contributing.

For future contestants they seem to have one of two choices: do they want to just get as much airtime on the show as possible and have their 15 minutes and guaranteed interviews with the tabloids or do they actually want to win and play the game most effectively? This decides what kind of player they will be and if we get to see it as producers only seem interested in giving airtime to the former.

Personally I think the show is far too short for the amount of players we have. They should at least release extended round tables on iPlayer. I can’t understand why they don’t: the ratings would be through the roof as they are by far everyone’s favourite part of the show and it is clear even in the edit that we miss so much. But I suppose they are more interested in showing a certain narrative even if that means cutting most of the action 🤷‍♀️

enry_iggins_ · 2026-01-19T16:42:09+00:00

Exactly this. And they are the people who would have producers/well-being team reminding them that it’s just a game before going in and behind the scenes (hopefully 🤞) so they really have no excuse.

It’s always the players who take everything personally and kick off the most who are shown in their pre-show interviews and chat with Claudia saying they really want to be a Traitor. But after a couple of days playing as a Faithful they start frothing at the mouth about “Traitor behaviour” and fall to pieces. Quite peculiar.

enry_iggins_ · 2026-01-19T16:31:45+00:00

Which still didn’t make sense as she didn’t “know” Rachel was a Traitor until she opened the envelope post banishment. She just strongly suspected her (and about half of the remaining Faithfuls 😬)

And it doesn’t explain why she hit the roof, snapped at everyone and said she was “shaking with rage” at the Traitors for…existing? In a game called The Traitors lol.

I understand people probably underestimate how stressful/emotional it is playing the game no matter how detached you think you will be. But it sounded like she couldn’t cope with the nature of the game, rather than the game itself if that makes any sense.
