Strictly '21 #7: Two couples down this week, and we haven't even had a dance off yet!

Just getting ready for tomorrow.

Was anyone else distracted by John's bottom in his dance? It is certainly very shapely and the brown trousers showed it off very well

He even manages to pull of what I can only describe as an adult baby gro.. look up his latest Instagram post for evidence

Joining you while I wait for the show to go up on iPlayer.

I caught the last two dances.

Adam and Katya was 100% what I expected from Katya doing an AT with a hunk with good upper body strength. ALL OF THE LIFTS! AND THEN SOME NEW LIFTS! AND THEM SOME SEXY TIME. Loved it, but then I'm a sucker for Katya doing her thing.

Excited for AJ doing a samba in the pimp slot and then....it was just meh. I don't know what was wrong but something wasn't working, so was slightly relieved when Craig agreed with me.

I voted for her because I think she's got potential and I love her partnership with Kai.

I'm curious to see what the hell led to that leader board because the clips they showed of Tilly and Sara didn't look like top of the board material to me. Pleased for Sara and Aljaz though.

Katya is less out there than she was in the Sean-snog-gate series and beyond to be fair.

Definitely missing a wow moment in this week’s episode. Hopefully back to full strength next week.

Good lord I feel quite flustered.

I commented on his bum to DH who refused to look up from his football game

Didn't spot near kiss first time around, but saw the link. I think it is just his brain is a bit fried after remembering the routine then realising how close he was to her and drawing back.

I see quite a lot of chemistry between Gio and Rose more than anything. He seemed very tactile with her and they seem very comfortable in each other's company, but they are both in relationships aren't they?

You can tell who might be shagging by the marks - if someone gets marked low for a good dance they are definitely being naughty.

Yes I can't believe Tilly is a shoe in till the end now.
I had her down as first exit few weeks back.
And now it's like what the hell.

@SmellyOldOwls

What was that at the end those two are definitely banging

I had to rewind when I read your comment and OMG 😲👀

Katya is so competitive I can imagine her getting with him as a tool to make him perform better

Adam's gf. The tweet under her pinned tweet...

@2Rebecca she was married, her celeb was living with his long term partner

Wtf is the pimp slot???

MrsLargeEmbodied

i dont think they nearly kissed

... I’m sure they nearly did.

Pimp slot is last dance of the night - normally allocated to the dance which is best/most eye catching/funniest. The producers see all the dances in rehearsal and then decide the running order - they aim to have a big finale.

Basically the person to go last is always who the judges thought was best in rehearsal, its always a showstopper, and the person who gets that slot is supposed to be a total shoe in to stay in so they have been favoured

Can't decide if she's bothered or not!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

death slot = 2nd
pimp slot = going last

audiences tend to remember who topped the show (opened it), forget who went second and vote more for the act which went last or latter half...because of the adage/subconscious bias/producer list of saving the best til last. Allegedly.
So the last act is being pimped/sold/promoted more.

Fair play to her, all this speculation can’t be fun though she’s already had some experience of dealing with tongues wagging about the start of their relationship

The last dance may not be the best dance of the night - I'm pretty sure Anne Widdecombe danced last on a couple of occasions, but the aim is to leave the viewers on a high of some sort and inspire the feeling "how would you follow that?"

@StormyCornishSeas

Was going to say isn't Dulwich boys only, or it was when my cousin went a decade ago

She went to normal school in W London

Oh my! That moment between Adam and Katya! 😮

Baffling comments from Shirley telling Greg that's it week 4 and he should be much better by now, then 5 minutes later telling Sara (I think it was) that it's ONLY week 4 and it's only to be expected that some technique won't be perfect. 🤷🏻

Voted for sara, dan and adam.
Liked TIllys dance, but still don't get why she is on a celeb show.
We ff all the nan/sob story stuff.
Why does TOm annoy me?

I’ve watched it back a few times. His head snapped back the same way my hand does when someone at work catches me fishing all of the Maltesers out of the Celebrations box.

I truly hope it was just the ‘moment’ and that he isn’t being greedy.

@CampagVelocet

I just can't bear Tilly. She's in there because her dad is famous, and now she's being kept in for some reason I can't understand. Is Gordon threatening to do the judges' kneecaps if they score her accurately or something? She's on a par with Dan as far as I'm concerned.

No, DAn is actually a celeb.

Voted Rose, Sara and Adam tonight.

Also, if there hasn’t already been a reminder, this is a NO SPOILERS thread!
