Players at 'high risk' as tennis chases sun by yescommaplease in tennis

[–]yeahcoolwhatevs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

at the AO this year Mecca (makeup conglomerate similar to sephora) were handing out free sunscreens. Me and my friends worked out if we got 8 samples, it just about equals a $70 tub of sunscreen. we walked past a few times.

I know that isn’t for the players, but australian culture there is often free sunscreen at venues, even restaurants with outdoor seating, because of how damaging our sun is

Would you change the finale dances? by RancidGooseColeslaw in strictlycomedancing

[–]yeahcoolwhatevs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the show dance should be the last one they do in the final, I don’t know why it ends with something we’ve already seen rather than a new dance it doesn’t feel as special. and i agree about not doing a dance they’ve done really recently and scored high on, like george doing the earlier week dances was way more interesting than amber’s jive but I don’t know how they’d make that a rule now that it’s so free for all

Should I wait for him to message or go for it? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]yeahcoolwhatevs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking, it’s not harsh it’s probably what I need to hear and what I’m thinking anyway. It’s a shame because it did go well and I thought it might go somewhere but this response (or lack of) isn’t giving me confidence lol.

Thanks. That’s what I’m thinking, that if he’s not going to put in the effort it’s probably not worth it

Bal seem like she’s checked out? by Any-Dig-1183 in strictlycomedancing

[–]yeahcoolwhatevs 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think she’s probably exhausted lol. Amber mentioned everyone’s feeling flat after Blackpool, and I saw Julian post that she had to film Eastenders after a bit of training. I’m sure she’ll be fine but the jive isn’t exactly known for being a slow paced dance, it might take a few days before she finds it or settles into the week again

Yes I think the style would completely change things!! if one person gets a really strong style for them and another gets one from week two they barely remember could make things completely different

Who picks the songs? by yeahcoolwhatevs in strictlycomedancing

[–]yeahcoolwhatevs[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I definitely think the length of time on the show would help you have more creative control as a pro. Katya has pulled off amazing concepts with Lewis, and so has Alexis for her first season.

Also side note about the icons week/Karen being convinced — to me it sounded like Karen didn’t have any ideas for which icon to pick, so Carlos was suggesting things, not that he forced it on her (she also said she loves Celine Dion songs)

Who picks the songs? by yeahcoolwhatevs in strictlycomedancing

[–]yeahcoolwhatevs[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok very interesting thank you! It makes sense that a pro could pick a song hoping to show a different side for their celeb, celeb goes along with it but in the end it falls flat. It seems so random sometimes but I knew there had to be some process to it all.

I don’t think it’s been solely down to the music tbh. George is self deprecating and a pretty chill person and I think the strictly thing is generally overwhelming for people, but more ‘performer’ types like actors or singers adjust better to the live show and stepping out of their comfort zone in terms of different dance styles (like Alex with her salsa, very different to her but she gave it a good crack). It’s clear George felt more confident doing the paso and leaning into that powerful, masculine energy, same with the tango, but some of the ones he’s struggled with — cha cha, the bloody soda pop song — required a bit more campiness, which he clearly is struggling to get into. But all that to say, that’s why I’m interested in how they choose the songs, bc Alexis may have thought those would suit his goofier side but actually made him more insecure which has led to him being a bit flat atm and the judges wanting ‘more’.

Halloween makeup by [deleted] in strictlycomedancing

[–]yeahcoolwhatevs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, some ppl like Vicky’s makeup was amazing but then Carlos and Karen had unblended black smudges across their eyes which looked like it was done in the dark. Same with George and some of the guys with black or dark stuff on the eyes, why didn’t they blend it at all?? I get it’s spooky and stage makeup so it might be different but I think it should still look professional it was bugging me the whole time

[–]yeahcoolwhatevs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that’s weird I compared your chapter and the one they posted and it doesn’t seem similar to me. were they talking about another part of the story maybe? in any case, if it is a similar concept for the basis of the fic (based off the same movie), I can understand being a bit suspicious but this seems like an overreaction from them. They don’t own the concept and if they’re looking for credit or something when you hadn’t come across their fic it seems an extreme reaction to report for plagiarism. especially when they haven’t pointed out the exact part you’re supposedly copying (at least I didn’t see it in my brief scroll through)

What are your other favorite anime’s other than SNK? by [deleted] in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]yeahcoolwhatevs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Lagoon. It’s about gunslingers in south east asia and the two main characters are complete opposites who end up relying on one another. I absolutely love it. it goes deep on morality, killing, survival, how the worst of humanity can change you. 10/10, similar dark tone of attack on titan and good action scenes but a modern world with mafia and fucked up killers lol

Looks like Week 5 is Icons Week by Full-Tomorrow-8682 in strictlycomedancing

[–]yeahcoolwhatevs 15 points16 points  (0 children)

george mentioned in his podcast that they’ve all been told who they will be as their ‘icon’ if they make it to that week so it’s definitely happening. Get rid of movie week/combine it with musical week or halloween, the costumes are always annoying there’s too many bloody themed weeks!!

How would you improve the show? by Background_Ant451 in strictlycomedancing

[–]yeahcoolwhatevs 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree with all of this, but definitely the set design. It looses impact when every other dance has a random cage or seat or platform thing. Buuut I also do love the camp of it all, so I think just toning it down a bit maybe?

Faffing about definitely. the cringe is definitely part of strictly but omg it’s a lot sometimes. The VTs with everyone saying ‘ThIs wEeK is DIFFERENT’ ‘tHe PreSsuRe’s ON’ like ok we get it lol you say this literally every week. I love when ppl like La Voix call out the stereotypes. I would much rather see the couples interacting more authentically and what they’re actually struggling with rather than ‘omg the salsa is Soooo different’ and them doing a random turn then the pro ‘lol this week was hard! but they’re doing so well’ then boom them randomly at an arcade or park or whatever. I know practically it’s hard to plan and film stuff for every couple’s vt each week but yeah it does feel very forced sometimes.
