I write recaps and reviews about British reality TV over at https://ariadnereviews.com/
My pick for BBC Director General is the ball pit of ferrets they use to decide dance themes on Strictly Come Dancing.

threatening to cut the BBC in half like King Solomon if people can't agree which way its bias swings.

Desperately insisting C tell me that the XL American Girl Doll from SNL doesn't look like me.

I feel like this show would benefit from having just 1 solo challenge and then a bottom 2 challenge where the two weakest knitters have to go head to head knitting a granny square. #GameOfWool

the dramatic vibe shift as soon as the team challenge starts needs to be studied. They're all so miserable and it's such bad tv BUT WHY AM I LAUGHING SO HARD? #GameOfWool

Bring Your Icons Week ending up with an unintelligible lineup of Gritty, A Unicorn, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Remembrance Day and The Concept of Commedia Dell'arte <3 <3 <3 #GameOfWool
SCREAMING that it's "Icons Week" and the brief is just "make an outfit for a dog but make it iconic" <3 <3 <3 <3 #GameOfWool

all if forgiven, this show is perfect. #GameOfWool

I think I was happier with James Morrison's music when he released that one good song and then sort of disappeared. #scd #strictly

they're absolutely giving Balvinder one of the worst routines you could imagine next week. She gets one week to feel joy again and then it's Death by Jive, innit? #scd #strictly
