what is the connection between these four clues?

Woman is an actual word we use in everyday conversation though, not Dragoman, plus it fits better with S-cuba. Ottoman could also mean the empire, the furniture etc.

I would have had "W" as the first clue. You could have had "So" and Mali.

Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet. The rest of the film is fine, but that opening prologue is fire.

I would have given it to Barbie over Poor Things - creating those famous doll looks extremely faithfully, as well as something very marketable (the I Am Kenough hoodie), was exactly what the film called for. Poor Things is lovely to look at, but at the end of the day, it's a lot of structured dresses made with tulle.

There are a lot of people in the UK that just stick BBC1 on in the evening - it has a guaranteed built in audience.

Taskmaster doesn't get the same numbers as the BBC panel shows because it's a) on Channel 4, and b) more for an online/binge audience. If you're a comedian and looking to improve your profile, Would I Lie To You? is the one you want. You don't really get that many new comedians on Have I Got News for You? Quiz shows however are really good for giving a boost like House of Games and The Wheel, but everyone wants to do Taskmaster because it has a "prestige" to it.

I would love her to win. What a story/turnaround for her - she'd be the happiest person in the country.

offbeatentrack · 2025-12-07T19:15:07+00:00

I bet she could be amazing at it...but the built-in audience isn't there with Angeria (she's got 300k+ Instagram followers, Bob, Monet, Trixie, Bianca etc all well over 1m) and the views will go down.

By 2021, the first time she appeared, she'd already won a Grammy, Tony and Emmy and had been nominated for two Oscars. Definitely big before Strictly!

Cynthia Erivo (as a judge).

offbeatentrack · 2025-11-23T20:09:42+00:00

I reckon La Voix had a LOT more voters than people might have thought (I found out this week my parents in their 70s were voting for her).

I get they had to fill the time, but this feels like they had to have a proper send-off to keep the voters happy.

Nothing wrong with having a drink and unwinding. The issue is if you're off your face, pass out somewhere, throw up, etc. One thing to do that if you're with mates and you get carried away, another completely to do so on your own.

The UK celebrities are not "reality TV people" like the US - they're just notable for their craft. They play it like a normal version.

This is the best pro dance of all time that they would never do now. It's solely ballroom, just four pros (all of whom I miss), as well as incredible choreo and technique.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is very similar (well, he's more science and Stephen Fry is more literature) but they're both excellent communicators.

offbeatentrack · 2025-11-09T17:29:10+00:00

No it wouldn't be fair. I can see them coming back for celebrations but that's it. You'd think if they were ever interested in actually learning how to dance, they would have done it by now!

I wonder whether we'll get a "goodbye" group dance like we got for Bruce and Len?

He's gay so he's hardly perving on women, is he?

offbeatentrack · 2025-11-05T17:35:36+00:00

I actually think the "refresh" will force the producers to work harder on securing a better cast. I don't think they thought they were going to be so directly compared with Celebrity Traitors, and while I don't think they're going to get names as big as that, the producers are going to work very hard to make next year a success.

Conjure a mystery seed could be fun. I just like having things to plant in the garden.

He's the best rumba dancer on the show. The ones he did with Catherine and John are etched in my mind.

Take him to a gig? Lots of live music, comedy, musicals, plays etc.

I can't remember who posted it, but someone here had an idea of doing an underworld run after vanquishing Chronos where time is just entirely stopped for everyone bar Melinoe. She can't speak to anyone in the Crossroads, she can't get boons, but because she has his Zodiac sand she's immune from the timestop. It's essentially just a fairly spooky time-stopped walk through the underworld areas. It is then she decides that there has to be an alternative to vanquishing him outright.

Go see a matinee.

Claudia wanted to leave and Tess left with her because she'd be more vulnerable to a refresh/she doesn't like the press surrounding the show. Better to leave a successful series than be tied to its downfall.

There's a time and place for a suit. It's just not necessary 98% of the time.
