Typical BBC woke ste. Black lesbian for the win and the usual disabled person for the tears/didn’t they do well crowd.
I didn't know the gammons were allergic to black female boxers. It's like you're afraid of women who can stand up for themselves.
Well that's quite the assumption isn't it? I'll entertain you and ask, how on earth did you come to the conclusion I have anything at all against Nicola Adams, boxers, female or otherwise?
Simple.

"Typical BBC woke ste" < so you already don't like it.
"Black lesbian" < she has a name, has done something with her life and achieved something 99% of the world can't. Yet you refer to her to the bog standard gammon-esque description
"usual disabled person for the tears" < belittling a stranger because they've got one less leg than you

Or would you like that written in a Daily Fail kind of headline to really get your pork fat sizzling?
hehe I think there's only one person sizzling here buddy

Typical BBC woke ste < it is what I and vast swathes of the general public think.
Black Lesbian < Nicola Adams does have a name and has achieved a great deal, however none of this will be of any importance due to her sexuality (and stigma of said sexuality within her racial sphere) and the gender dancing partner being the single most important fact of this whole series. And it is, whether you like it or not smile
Usual disabled person for the tears < There's absolutely no belittling I can achieve greater than the host and anchor putting on her fake tears and pout whilst cooing baby talk such as "didn't he/she do well" and "ooh look at his/her little face".

Not being a Daily Mail reader I wouldn't know if they could explain it better than yourself, though if it helps you rationalise a different opinion from your own to label those whose opinions differ (such as snowflake wink ) then so be it. I can explain the problem to you, I simply can't help you understand it.

Like much of the BBC's recent agenda, I suspect it will be looked upon in years to come as incredibly unhelpful to the cause against sexual, racial and disability discrimination.
And as long as it's annoying a few reactionaries, I'd say they are doing a fine job.

One of the 'celebs' is called Hrvy. So his real name is Harvey but he's removed the vowels.
I hope he's voted out first. Purely for his stupid name.

I really hope Oti's sister is less shouty this series, she did my head in last year.

And just to say... Oti. Mmm. Lovely.

Again, for another year I hardly know any of them - but at a push I think I recognise 4 of the names.
Not impressed so far.

Bill Bailey looks much better than I thought.

HRVY(is that the spelling) looks as if he can dance.

Already taken a dislike to the cocky little sod, but he could be good.

Caroline Quintin is also very annoying.

agreed,

the NFL guy looked quite comfortable dancing as opposed to the politician .

East enders girl will almost certainly be a contender.

all IMHO, of course.

I don't think the Royal Marine will last the distance, unless he get the sympathy vote for his injuries received during military service.

Watched it tonight as it was on, i know they are doing thigs differently, but anyone else think the actual production was poor. The sound seemed off, even the introductions, you could hardly here them over the music. And the music sounded tinny.

Not a polished show at all.

Bill Bailey looked pretty good, he's a decent musician so should have some rhythm, the ex NFL guy looked pretty good too. The girl off Eastenders looked like she can dance a bit, but she is a 19 year old girl, so lets see how she gets on later in the series.

Things are different, but I am wondering if it is getting a bit past its sell by date now..?
Oh and the height difference on Caroline Quentin, who thought that will work, even her in heels they look ridiculous!
