Does anyone know how long it takes for the episode to go in iplayer after the live show finishes? I never seen able to sit down (ie escape the children!) until 9 or after and the last two weeks it’s not been available for ages after I’m ready to watch - ended up watching ITT thur and fri episodes instead.
Really loving the thread. I pause my watching and read whats being said at each step (lot of things get picked up on here than I’ve missed so it’s fab!)
Love BB. Think he knew he’d be decent but the producers assumed he’d be a dud hence pairing with Oti (who is suppose to get a dud after winning last year?)
The Simpsons was horrific. I’m not a big fan of Dianne either something about her just doesn’t gel with me. I’m sure it was her than wanted to do the simpsons (maybe heard on ITT?). It’s more the make up and costumes that terrify me. I don’t like when they bring animated/cartoon figures to life. I was similarly terrified of the stage show version of peppa pig - very freaky.
Caroline ... oh she’s been my biggest disappointment. I think I had her all wrong and realise now I didn’t really know much about her at all. I sort of assumed she’d be fun loving and down-to-earth as PP said and she’s....just not is she. I don’t think she’ll gain many fans from this appearance she’s quite hard to relate to and appears to think she’s better than she is (maybe not so much this week as she tried the whole ‘here to learn from experts’ like but definitely the other weeks she clearly thought she was much better than she actually was).
Luba just isn’t a decent pro. She’s not getting the best out of Jason at all. I know she’s not got much to work with as he’s no dancer but she’s not making the best of what he could be.
Clara is lovely but I feel she’s quite overlooked and I hope she really is enjoying the experience being a massive strictly fan. And I love A and he’s probably my favourite make pro (or gio...I can’t decide I’ll have them both!)
BVB was hilarious. No blinking clue of he danced well or not but he should stay for pure comedy gold and wearing that outfit too. I can see why Karen choreographed the lift to be right at the end...he wasn’t exactly graceful and returning her to her feet at the end or when with Claud!!!
JJ was good but little dull for me. I actually am not a fan of Amy. Too sickly sweet for my tastes and her with K last year put me off as well.
Nicola wasn’t very good. I mean she’s got a lovely smile but i don’t think it’s a fair playing field at all although will hold judgement until I see her in a ballroom dance and in hold. Right now I actually don’t think the mirror side by side type dancing is doing her any favours and it’s providing a direct contrast to how a pro dances it especially when they are in same clothes. I suppose good for her for negotiating a no dresses/skirts contract if that’s important to her. I’m not a dress skirt type person so do get a little weary of the whole “oh I won’t wear a dresss it’s not me” on week one then “I feel amazing I love this dress” by week 3 in a massive full of glitzy dress (was it annaka rice that had that “journey” and others). Shoes are different though. I do think it must be easier to dance in flats (though maybe actually better in heels per PP mention of even males having heels in some Latin?) if that’s all your use to wearing. I can hardly walk in heels never mind dance so I’d have to overcome that as well as learn the dance. I’m sure Clara said she was always in trainers and never ever heels (didn’t Claud mention something like that at the launch show?)
Ranvir seems proper lovely. Just genuine person. I hope she goes far. And not just because I want Gio on my screen each week. He’s a good teacher too. I’d love if they are more than dance partners def seems a little spark there.
The Pro dance was a bit of a let down. Didn’t seem to be much dancing considering. I’d also never have known there we’re 3 bonds if they hadn’t told me In ITT. Very strange.
Alright that’s enough rambling from me. Except to say I wish they’d just show the results on Saturday so I can watch to whole lot!!!
