Spoiler-free thread

Previous thread here.

Next week will be interesting. Sara's q/s might be nice, but 9–5 theming is probably going to be annoying. AJ might be great at the Charleston, or her Bambi legs might re-appear. I hope Jojo gets his choreographical mojo back, I haven't really got properly into their last few dances and rumba is a tricky one!

I loved it. Made me all goosebumpy

Well, Johannes did well.

That was good.

John's arms looked silly when he did the wafting around because he held them too high.

Still a maybe on the shagging

That was beautiful

That song reminds me of the movie Maid in Manhattan. Didn't know it was by Sting

John's hips didn't move much.

Really liked that.

Was wafting.

That was fabulous!!

I thought Johannes was great and John was meh

Because they're nice derxa and not at all yobbish 'Wemberly' types. I'm too soft.

The big accidental smile at the start for John 😄

Loved it! Actually in tears

That was wafty but that was really beautiful I thought.

Will give them a vote but I wanted more from that tbh

I actually loved that

Definitely no on the shagging but that was good for a rumba which I normally hate

Oh that was excellent. Johannes was selling the hell out of it and John has the dance ability to make the most of the basic choreography.

Loved it

@GrouchyKiwi

That was good.

John's arms looked silly when he did the wafting around because he held them too high.

He's heavily muscled as well, so they look up around his ears.

I thought it looked quite good, but again I don't know why they're insisting on matching the lighting design to the outfits. When it's a dark colour you can't see anything!

Wow 🥰

I'm glad that they didn't go all hot and heavy. There was a lot to love in it but there was some lacking in resistance and I felt that John's feet weren't always doing that rumba floor thing very well.

All in all, rather good and thanks to them for not making me horribly uncomfortable. It was very romantic which I love in a rumba.

Enjoyed that, very intense which these two do splendidly.

Johannes is such a fantastic dancer that I find it hard to look at John though. Also liked their costumes.
