Yes, it really must be very anxiety-inducing

That's awful. Really grim.
So sorry you're having to deal with this

Who would you have put there?

I wouldn't have put couple number 2 but couple number 1, no matter how much I love the pro, is the weakest dancer. The other person who should have been there, based on the performance on the live show, were never going to be in the bottom 2

God, that sucks big time

Unsurprisingly he keeps staff

He is a good egg.

He's going to bring them in to share on Tuesday when hes back off leave

These were ones where you got lots of unusual flavours, like strawberry cheesecake. Like jelly bellys but cheaper. I've only seen normal jelly beans in Tesco - which are good, just not as special for money-raising purposes

You'd never get a broken window in a movie version of a Louvre Heist. Or a mechanical ladder. It'd be all hi tech and, though incredibly tense, it'd be so smoooooth

He REALLY likes sweets

These were poor person's jelly bellys

I bought the jelly beans and counted them. He was on leave but came in to be supportive and to join in. Several hours after the bean counting.

He's just an expert on sweets (he was really close to the actual number and no-one else was anywhere near)

It has its moments. It's min wage and also has some drudgery, but the team is fantastic and close knit and we have the space to come up with ideas like the pub quiz and run with them. Other staff have done a cake sale, open mic nights and booked local musicians to perform. Work hard but have fun

Our manager wanted the jelly beans. He had more than one guess.

He won the jelly beans with his first guess

I think the different reality shows should mix and match their different themed weeks occasionally. I’d love to see Strictly do bread week.

I compiled and compered a pub quiz at work this evening and also counted jelly beans so we could do guess how many beans in a jar.

This is my job

I went to a gathering at once. Never went there again by choice

They are in even the nicest places. You just can't get away from them

I did!

And I've just found out my colleague, who like me had never felt the need to watch it has also started watching and is at exact the same episode as me!

I think we both feel the same - it's quite entertaining but not compulsive/addictive. And we're not sure we like that version of Claudia

Good to know it isn't a wetherspoons

That is a VERY fair point and a fact that I had forgotten

If I was the first person to be eliminated from Traitors then I would be furious that so many people spelt my name wrong. Insult added to injury.

I thought with Balvinder it was for modesty reasons as the skirt was constantly whipped up.

But aljaz has worn shorts before and these were so long there was no danger of anything falling out, and anyway a pair of cycling type shorts underneath would have sufficed

Well, it's a very interesting fact to know that it was filmed across from where you work.

Um, so where's that? The studios I mean. Are they still there or is it a Nandos now?

(Sidebar: never luved anywhere with a nandos and have never eaten one)

Which song was that? (Have I mentioned you're very cryptic? Why yes, I think I have)

But you can do tight shorts under baggy shorts- you can but shorts like that in the shops. Boxers have bare legs, always
