Strictly '21 #8: And 8 would be quite high enough for most of the dances this week...

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

It was a bit miserable wasn't it? Hopefully the results show probdance will be more fun!

Twirly place marking

FLAVIA I luffs you, yes She'd make a brilliant judge.

I don't understand why the producers have to make everything (including ITT now) suitable for 2 year olds. Janette's presenting was quite enjoyable until she was teamed with Ashley whatsername. And had to pretend to 'fly' or whatever. Why?????

And it is anorexically thin. Not that I think that is a word

I found the "my sis" stuff with Ashleigh excruciating cringe-worthy. 🙈😬. Loved the episode with Flavia!

Still incredibly rude.

Judi Love has tested positive for COVID so she won't be dancing this weekend.
On the plus side it means she won't be in the dance off.

Presumably she may potentially be out of dancing next weekend too if only just tested positive?

That will shake things up a bit.

This series is turning into a production disaster. Given that Judi was almost certainly ending up in the dance-off this weekend, it doesn't seem quite fair on who does go out. It's also the case that the celebs who make it to Hallowe'en get a significant pay bump, so how does that work out? A celeb who, in all likelihood, would have been going home gets the money and someone else doesn't?

I'm also worried about Ugo and his back. My theory on him staying in the competition was that he was hoping for the said Hallowe'en pay bump and a rumba was the last-minute option for doing him the least damage. I wonder if the producers are also cajoling him into staying in, given the Robert and the Covid situation? He could be screwing up his back for nothing.

Also, I don't understand how she's only missing one week. Isn't it 10 days of isolation? She was on ITT on Tuesday (possibly pre-recorded on Monday) so presumably she was asymptomatic and hadn't tested positive then.

Apologies for my ignorance

Could nadias dress be any more low cut in itt?

Love Johannes's outfit!

Assuming she had symptoms on Wednesday she should be free to dance a week on Saturday but they will have zero rehearsal time next week. I guess they will have to use the routine they were due to dance this week but it will literally be dress run and go.

Yeesh, this must be a nightmare for the producers. (I might have decided it's karma for all of their nonsensical production decisions.)

Hope Judi recovers quickly.

I hope she isn’t too unwell

It's a strange series, alright this year.

It's all going tits up!

I thought that too! Practically nothing was covering her boobs

I do like how Jeanette brings Alijaz out of himself when she interviews him on ITT. He used to be all moody and let the celeb do the talking

Poor Judy, think some of the other celebs are bricking it because it throws a cat amongst the chickens for who potentially would be in the dance off.

I think they'll do the dance they were supposed to do this week. Otherwise they will have 0 time to learn the new dance & for the costumes etc.

Well if Judi's not bottom two fodder..

Could it be Dan? 🤔

Maybe but it might depend on how hard he plays the "this is my wife's favourite song" card

Judi has had a lucky escape from the dance off this week, what good timing for her! Definitely opens up the dance off now as whoever would have been in the dance off with Judi would probably be saved (judges couldn't possibly save her again) but now all the celebs are at risk.

Although standards seem pretty high this year, weren't know how popular someone like Rhys or AJ are. Dan has avoided the dance off despite being in the bottom 3 weeks in a row because he is getting enough votes.

Really hard to tell who will be in the DO. By ability it "should be" Dan but I have a feeling there might be a shock Aston type exit.

Unfortunately I'm out this Saturday so I'll just have to catch up the next day.

I wouldn't call having Covid "a lucky escape".....
