There’s some sort of tear in the time fabric around the 90s. I’m convinced that movies like Pulp Fiction only came out about a decade ago, but movies from the late 80s came out at least 35 years ago.

Like when people say that Dear Evan Hansen is a bad musical because the main character does a bunch of shitty things. No one said he’s a hero you’re supposed to emulate! He’s a flawed teenager who made some very bad choices. That doesn’t make the show bad. 🤦‍♀️

I can't imagine what that art is, but it was one of my first thoughts too 😂

I know; it must be so weird! I think (and hope) that she is as humble and unassuming as she appears. Her nails are always that insane; she’s said she just loves them! I could never. Last year she was on Graham Norton with Chris McCausland and let him feel them, and his head practically exploded 🤣

I recognised “just can’t get enough”, but that was already famous. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

It was absolutely bonkers and terrible, and you should probably watch it just so you can have watched it, IYKWIM. 🤣🤣

/ strictly before, a few years ago. People only really seemed to start to find out who she is last year, but those of us who’ve been fans for years are smugly saying, “yes, we knew”. 😆 She has 3 Oscar nominations and a Tony! Incredible British talent.

She’s insanely talented and just seems like the nicest person. She’s been a huge star in the theatre/singing world for years and years, but she’s made it much bigger in America than here (for reasons inexplicable). She’s often mentored on shows like American Idol and has guest judged on /cont

Omg The Life of Chuck would have been an amazing choice! And normally I’d say, “but it’s not well-known enough”, but AS IF Minecraft is??? I didn’t even remember they’d made a movie of the game!

It often happens round this time. Someone from the middle portion of the leaderboard ends up in the DO with one of the bottom people, because everyone rallied round the people who were very close to the bottom. Feel bad for Bal, though! She definitely didn’t deserve it.

Well I guess we’ve answered that question. #strictly

It’ll be interesting to see if Ross was safe last week because people voted for him tactically to make sure the fash went out (I know I did), or if they actually voted for him because they wanted him to stay. It should clearly be him vs Chris in the dance off this week, but will it? #strictly

It’s icky AF, but since I only realised that when I got older (and wiser, harhar) it still has a nostalgia for me. At the very least, I like the tune.

The way they had to chop it up to fit the time limit made me break out in hives, though. Ditto Feed the Birds.

She’ll be in the dance off every week for the last few weeks as well. That’s how it always goes.

That tourist was probably quite chuffed because that literally happened to Charmian Carr (Liesl) during the filming!

Done! Will be interesting to see the results. From comments on here, people are voting for practically everyone! (Except maybe poor Ross and Chris 🙈)

They have people with musical theatre training on pretty much every year. There isn’t an “anymore”; it’s been like this for years. I for one don’t mind it. I love seeing an excellent dance, and I don’t mind who it’s from.

I’m enjoying that too! Last week I was forced to vote tactically, but I’m not giving Ross my votes again (sorry Ross!) 🤣

Shrieking when Katya said, “Do you want to do it again? Do you want a cake?” Then, to Claudia, “Do you want to ride a horses again?” And Claud gave the most emphatic “No!” of her life. 🤣🤣🤣 #Strictly #celebritytraitors

The biggest smile on my face during the whole of George and Alexis’ “soda pop” routine. Such a delight! And how gorgeous does Alexis look in that purple wig? PS if you haven’t seen KPop Demon Hunters, it’s great. #strictly
