@derxa I don’t dislike Graeme, but I can’t say I am a huge fan. I appreciate that as a sportsperson he is going to be pretty single-minded and determined, but a wave and a smile costs nothing. If nothing else it’s going to get us more on his side and enthusiastic about his dancing, like it or not part of this competition is about popularity.
@CaptainBrickbeard it is definitely possible that the celebs are nervous, I certainly would be! It is an amazing experience to see it live, and I have been so fortunate to have had tickets twice, but it is not necessarily a comfortable one. I think anything that prepares people before they arrive helps, so maybe these posts will give the next ticketholders a heads up.
@CurbsideProphet while we were in the circus area there were toilets but at times the queues were horrendous. Once we got through to the ballroom and the filming started there were no toilet breaks until the end of the live show. They were particularly strict about this if you were sat in the front few rows where it would be obvious that you were missing.
I forgot to add that during the break between the live show and filming the results show, we were given a small carton of juice and a freddo. It didn’t help a lot but it was something and we were grateful.
Happy to answer any more questions, if anyone has them.
