Watching Strictly is a terrifying experience for me because I am constantly worried something will go wrong LIVE ON TV and even worse, it is hosted by an old person; I have a genuine fear of old people accidentally dying LIVE ON TV.

I mean.

DANCING!

One of the female celebrities (a Waterloo Road actress, in fact) had a slight wardrobe malfunction earlier this series and got really upset about it. I felt terribly sorry for her.

Watching Strictly is, I think, a bit like watching panto- you just have to accept that you are getting an hour of undiluted camp and just go along for the ride, because nestled amongst the camp like tiny truffles are moments of actual gloriousness (holy crap, [insert name here] can really dance, everything Bruno says, finding out that some people are warmer and funnier than you thought).

I am also supporting Alex and James! Although I am doing it for different reasons, i.e the biggest girl crush on Alex. Her accent! Her face! Her everything!!!!

Before I actually watched it, I think I assumed that Strictly would take itself at least somewhat seriously. WHOOPS.

Bruno is the only judge on any reality show who frequently makes me laugh out loud. I'd love to know what it's like inside his head.

Also I watch entirely because of Ola Jordan and her catsuits.

...well, I hadn't realised that James' wife was also a dancer on the show. That makes my James-Alex thoughts quite a bit more awkward. Sorry, Jordans.

Bruce is awfully painful to watch, I have to say.

Your family is wonderfully strange!

Good work asking about the per-word rate! It's kind of a lot of money on the line, and asking shouldn't hurt anything. And one of the reasons women tend to make less than men is because of the social pressure to be polite and take what's offered instead of asking for more.

It was a perfectly fair request, and I hope you get it.

Thank you very much for your support! I hate feeling I'm being a nuisance because I'm terrified this place will decide to stop sending me work, but as I've been receiving manuscripts from them for about a year I assume they're happy with what I do, at least.

It really does sound like they like your work, and unless they're a really horrible and badly-run company, they should at least consider your request and not stop using you just because you made it.

... Nethers, Riona. Nethers. Only you would say that.

ALSO Strictly, oh my god, it is all about Bruno and Craig. I want Craig to be my best friend.

rionaleonhart December 10 2011, 15:36:11 UTC

EVERYONE SAYS 'NETHERS'. CONSTANTLY. I'M NORMAL.

I love it when Craig says 'darling'. It's always so perfectly placed.

He's just got such a brilliant drawling voice. It was a genuine shock to me when I found out he's Australian.

captlebubbles December 10 2011, 16:30:38 UTC

I say nethers.

Of course, I also use 'goolies' completely seriously, so make of that what you will.
