Always played it in thongs, on hot days you ran the hose up through it, preservation of your beer was always paramount, kids learn the way the world works when they're around capable adults :)
And drunk adults!

Thing is she kind of intentionally got a bit weird with it knowing she couldn't win
Apparently she is known (by those who could know these types of things) for a more artistic and quirky style
Most people are pretty accepting she didn't select herself to go and it's not her fault nobody was better

It was kind of embarrassing for Aus but I don't think we have an international dancing rep that needed to be protected, it was dorky and funny in a drunk relative at a wedding kind of way, we've all enjoyed the memes from it.

There's always some ******** that think it is appropriate or necessarily to abuse people directly though. There is no call or need for that whatsoever. Apparently even some other Aus "B-girls" have copped abuse on the side. Probably the same type of ******** who messages NRL players.

Yes we are laughing at her, if we are laughing with her that's purely coincidental. But she doesn't warrant or deserve to be abused.
It shouldn't be at the point other dancers are afraid to dance (unless they were planning kangaroo hops)

Memes are funny, I imagine she can laugh at most of those. People like Voss saying we should have just sent nobody instead is probably a bit hurtful (although arguably true...)

She should let it die down a little then get back in time it is still remembered enough she can get a deal kangaroo hopping on an ad for something and gig on the next season of I'm a Celebrity (maybe give Dancing with the Stars a couple years first...)

Woyld probably stay clear of The Masked Singer too. Would be a bit obvious to pick out.

Can’t believe people are still talking about her. I’ve been trying to forget about her the moment I saw her.

Controversial take but it should never have been an Olympic sport to begin with. I can think of at least 4 that should've been there over break dancing.
Not controversial at all tbh. It's not being included in the next games so clearly the people who matter agree with you.

Sorry guys, I know we've moved past it, but I had to post this. Please watch before it gets taken down by the IOC.

They weren’t kidding when they said it’ll be a stripped down Comm Games. Understandable considering the mess the Scots inherited. Hockey is a huge out though.
