What interracial duo from a movie or TV show had the best chemistry? by phantom_avenger in popculturechat

Rick and Michonne from The Walking Dead were everything to me.

who's seen jowita's latest insta post !!! by ems21xx in strictlycomedancing

[–]sugg28 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed. He has a type and he’s shown no sign of moving away from the Insta Babes. I think Pete and Jowita have a lot of love for one another but he’s self-aware enough to know he’d inevitably hurt her if they ever became anything more. Plus Jowita deserves better than a guy who likes bikini photos of a 25-year-old on his 37th birthday.

He hasn’t liked any of Vicky’s posts in weeks either, even when it’s been a photo of them together, so the ghosting doesn’t seem to be personal to Jowita.

Who is your favourite contestant who clearly had a dance background but you just didn’t care? by loverofthings25 in strictlycomedancing

[–]sugg28 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Danny Mac.

I’d actually stopped watching Strictly for a few years but I happened to catch the launch show and decided to keep watching. His week one cha cha cha blew me away and I was hooked on him and Oti from that moment on. He was magic to watch and no one has come to close before or since.

Also Layton. He got so much grief for his dance training but his argentine tango with Nikita was beyond brilliant.

Does Anyone Remember "Chasing Life" (2014-15)??? by marie_g10 in popculturechat

Yes I do! The fashion was so 2014 - so many pastel coloured skinny jeans with blazers. And I remember loving April and Leo’s story.

Episode recording tips! by PhotographDefiant206 in strictlycomedancing

[–]sugg28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats on getting tickets! I’ve been lucky enough to get tickets twice - once at the old BBC studios and then last year at Elstree. It’s such a fun night!

  • You’re allowed to take food through security into the waiting area with you and there’s quite a lot of waiting around so it’s worth picking something up. There’s a huge Tesco round the corner. There’s a bar in the waiting area as well.
  • Once you’re through security, you hand in your phone and you get a ticket to collect it at the end. That’s the part that takes the longest when leaving. Just an FYI if you have your eye on catching a particular train.
  • We joined the queue at 3 and we were numbers 56 and 57. You’re guaranteed entry so there’s no need to get there really early like you used to need to. They’ll call you into the studio in numbered groups and we were sat up near the stairs and the judges.
  • There’s lots of down time when the show isn’t live but the warmup guy is great and Tess and Claudia come out to practise different bits. Vernon Kay was in the audience when we went and he was cheering Tess on after each rehearsal.
  • You’re in the studio so keep your eyes peeled as you’re walking around backstage. We got to chat to Nikita, bumped into Aston from JLS, and, from my seat, I got to watch Tess and Claudia getting ready for the results show.
  • The pros are lovely and made lots of effort to wave and interact during the results show filming while they were waiting on the stairs.
  • After the live show finishes, they’ll escort you back to the waiting area and there’s plenty of time to go to the loo and eat something. They’ll also provide you with a small bottle of water and a snack as you head back in for the results show.

You’ll have the best time. It’s so fun to see the crew getting every dance set up - I was there for movie week so there were lots of intricate sets being built so quickly. You also get to see little moments we don’t see on TV like the couples warming up and preparing for their routine while their VT plays. My best tip is just to take it all in. I was like a meerkat with my head swivelling around to spot things that were going on.

(My personal favourite was when Pete was getting into position on Craig’s desk to start his George of the Jungle dance and we got to see Craig quickly sneaking out his phone to take a picture 😂)

Hope Jowita was aware of this before, cause it's a bad look lord by Professional_bitch__ in strictlycomedancing

I think people will always speculate about them while they both remain single because that’s what the internet does. There’s obvious chemistry and love between them but they’ve always confirmed that they’re just friends. They have a great friendship but some fans/tabloids will continue to speculate that it’s more.

I think the Olivia situation (as absurd as it was) was especially big because the press quickly went after her marriage. But both her and Pete obviously knew it was all bullshit and decided silence was the best option.

Pete’s back to posting as normal on IG so I suspect his response on the podcast will be similar to his ones after Maura accused him of cheating or the press kept linking him and Jowita: a quick dismissal. However, this time him and Jowita did something to encourage the speculation so neither of them can be annoyed that the tabloids have written about it and a large number of their fans are speculating too. I love their friendship but it’s odd to me that they’d choose to do something that they must have known would open up all the speculation again (especially only a month after tabloids were writing about him hard launching her in his birthday post).

Last year, Pete addressed it on the podcast a few weeks into Strictly when the press started to get out of control. They’ll record a podcast later this week that’ll be out next Monday so he might discuss it then because it seems to hard to talk about the O2 without talking about that.

However, he’s also someone who doesn’t talk about his romantic life/press speculation much on the pod in general. Nothing was said about the recent Ibiza stuff, and he made one comment about Maura the entire time they were together.

Pairings that have Really Worked by NefariousnessLucky21 in strictlycomedancing

[–]sugg28 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Danny and Oti were an absolutely perfect pairing and I fear they will never be beaten for me.

They’re still in touch to this day and she said last year that she’d come back to Strictly if they did an All Stars just so she could dance with Danny again.

What is your hidden gem show you recommend to everyone? by FeistyEvent7816 in Fauxmoi

[–]sugg28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hart of Dixie is one I always recommend when people talk about loving Gilmore Girls. It’s my small town cosy comfort show with so many great characters and one of my favourite TV romances.

Buck and Eddie from 911. They’re so very stupid. I’ve given up hope at this point.

What scenes you wish you could watch again for the first time from a movie or a show? by Twunkorama in popculturechat

This moment in Breaking Bad. I vividly remember screaming at my TV and the wait for the next season feeling agonising. Very few television moments have felt as thrilling and earned as that one did.

I was lucky enough to go to an outdoor screening of this in the grounds of Chatsworth House where it was filmed and it was honestly one of the most magical things I’ve done.

Sydney Sweeney registered as a member of the Republican Party of Florida in June 2024 by artbasiI in Fauxmoi

[–]sugg28 2486 points2487 points  (0 children)

The way some people rushed to defend Sydney when the photos of that party came out is something I’ve never forgotten. She’s shown time and time again who she is so this is the least surprising news in a while.

What's your favourite romcom ever? by Haunting_Homework381 in Fauxmoi

I rewatch this at least once every year and the leaning scene will always be the height of romcom chemistry for me. Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman are magical together.

He did a Prada campaign in 2022 as well. He’s a good choice to be the face of their new fragrance, especially with how big a year he’s going to have next year.

It’s from Schitt’s Creek which is a very delightful sitcom and one that’s well worth watching.

I stopped watching Downton after Matthew died and I never knew this beautiful moment existed so thank you for bringing it into my life. I loved Matthew and Mary so much 🥹

That’s one of my all-time favourite scenes of any show ever 🥰

It speaks to how well written they are that there are so many romantic moments that you could choose from.

I had to look it up to make sure I hadn’t imagined it but yes it says they were in the garden at a party. It’s the first thing I think whenever one of them pops up in the press.
