As always, a reminder that this is a SPOILER-FREE THREAD, so please don't comment on the result before the result show.

I used to love Come Dancing, even as a slightly goth teenager. I went through a phase of watching old clips on YouTube and it was even camper than I remember. One of the things I loved was that the men were camper than Bruno, Craig and Rylan combined and yet all seem to be lorry mechanics and factory engineers. It kind of belied the idea, often perpetuated by Strictly, that regular blokes are too awkward to rumba.

Half an hour and I have and pepsi. Just been watching Gio choreograph drag queens. AJ Odudu and Tess are on RuPaul next week, on Snatch game (blankety blank on Drag Race).

Got LaLaLand in my head this afternoon.

I have Chinese and Appletiser, watching the Wheel for now

Evening All 👋🏻

Isn’t The Wheel awful... never seen it before.

Have tea and carrot cake. Watching on my own for once in front of an enormous tv - not mine - so very excited.

Chinese food and a G&T for me. Ready for the dancing

Damn. I love the Wheel. Didn't know it was back. Shall watch after!

Been watching DWTS Daniel Durant from Coda - totally deaf but can feel vibrations. Am impressed by the training.

Evening all. Oh my good god Hugh edwards is too good for Eukele puns

Evening all - got my 🍷 and snacks!

Fuck off Greggggg!

Bloody Gregg!

Owain!!!

Sorry, automatic reaction to the speaking cock!

And so say all of us!

I was hoping for a Come Dancing style group dance.

Motsi! 😂

Not convinced the rest of the show will be up to much but that was a smashing opening!

They all look like they had fun with that one.

Awww Bruce on Strictly 🥲

Ah nice touch there with Terry and Bruce on the screen!

Loved that celebration of the BBC mind. Thought it was wonderful.

Tess’s dress is quite nice…

Loving Claudia’s outfit. Wish I could pull that off.
