Spoiler thread if you like to indulge.

Video thread. Please post videos here to avoid slowing the main thread down.

Votes for Chris, Pete and Sam in this house - I let the kids pick one each and then throw mine at someone who I think might be at risk.

I went all 3 for Montell even though I liked Punam best, I think shes safe, and her and Gorka were great!

montell x 3 for me, as I think she could be in trouble and I really like her dancing, but I think Sam could benefit from some extra votes too

I voted for Pete, Chris and Punam.
did not like wynns dance, shame. As I like the film.
who were Motsi and anton dressed as?

Whitney Houston in the Bodyguard. Zoolander.

I thought Anton was Tony Manero from Stayin' Alive - ha ha!

Chris, Sarah and Toyah.

Just finishing on catch up so had to vote before finishing.
Votes went to Montell, Sam and Chris for unappreciated mid-zone.
Wynne's was great entertainment. I loved Punam's. Everytime I've tried Bollywood dancing, it's been a total calf killer! Hopefully they're safe on scores/ popularity.

Not too bad as movie week naffness goes. At least Pete's toga was laughably bad, and better than the Lion Ling onesies 😂

i watched a bit tonight,
loved Punam - was emotional with craig's comments
and Shane and Mrs Doubtfire

Craig admitted he didnt know the genre

Bit late watching tonight but:

Didn't know they made Crossroads Motel: The Movie but Shayne was a very effective David Hunter.

Can't decide if Professor McGonagall was waltzing with the Newly Qualified Maths Teacher or a hirsute sixth former but surely it's gross misconduct either way.

So Jamie was in Esther Williams's swimming cap, the elderly Ginger Rogers's tinted glasses, Shirley Bassey's feather stole and Diana Ross's trousers. I haven't seen that film.

I hope they gave Gorka's trousers a good Febreze before they put them on Anton.

Suspect that Dianne's Garth wig was also Toyah's Tina Turner wig. Now we just need someone to do a Bjorn Borg-themed rumba and we can really get our money's worth.

Can't decide if Professor McGonagall was waltzing with the Newly Qualified Maths Teacher or a hirsute sixth former but surely it's gross misconduct either way.

I think this is in bad taste given that the dance meant a lot to Sarah because of Maggie Smith’s very recent death. And Vito is in his 30s.

Can't decide if Professor McGonagall was waltzing with the Newly Qualified Maths Teacher or a hirsute sixth former but surely it's gross misconduct either way.
Ron had to dance with McGonagall when they were getting lessons for the Yuletide Ball (in book 4?), so I was very glad they didn't slap a ginger wig on Vito and he was just Unidentified Wizard #4.

Watching very delayed - just watched Chris & Diane and he was amazing! That was a great dance for anyone, never mind someone who is blind! He's amazing!

I watched late. Toyah was dreadful. Paul was also dreadful but at least seemed to throw himself into it knowing he was dreadful and not give a shit about it. I admire that.

Fair play to Pete for pulling that dance off. Made me laugh and he seemed to be genuinely enjoying it. He actually smiled!

I'm not keen on Michelle. Don't think there is any Chemistry in the partnership.
The routines are bland also

Just finished watching - Punam was my favourite, followed by Chris & then Wynne & Sarah.

Can't believe Punam is 41. She's really a stunning woman. But please no more dead grandpa stories. Also her routine was way too short.

I'm not keen on any woman who has those awful lip enlargements.

Also enjoyed Wynne's cha cha on rewatching.. Not for technique but for sheer charm..He's a very likable man. with lots of personality. Being paired with the best pro does not hurt.

Just properly caught up.

Punam was joyful and joyous. Loved it. I like this sort of contestant. Thrown into an alien world and completely embraces it. She may have had more knowledge than Gorka & the judges this week, but it still sat really well. I’m rooting for her I think.

Loved Sarah’s dance (even though HP ain’t my vibe). She’s very likeable, as is Vito obvs!

Really enjoyed Wynne’s. Properly in character, dance seemed decent to my untrained eye and he’s clearly loving it - another very likeable contestant.

Chris was great again, looked knackered at the end though - but assume he’s getting fitter day by day.

I didn’t enjoy last night’s show that much, mainly due to the horrible theming.

I enjoyed Sarah and Vito most but they didn't need my votes so I voted Punam, Pete and Chris.

I thought Jamie’s QS looked rushed but he was hampered by the costume, and possibly also by Michelle. She is a great dancer but is she a good teacher?

Think Toyah will be going to The Caribbean on Tuesday.
That's some chemistry between Pete and Jovita, has anybody else noticed it?

Try to avert my eyes when Pete appears, tbh. Especially in that costume ( though that is not his fault).

I’ve just realised that Pete Wicks isn’t Joe Wicks. I thought he was the fitness guy for the last few weeks and wondered why he lacked in the rhythm department. To be honest I’ve not watched either of them on tv so easily confused, but surely I’m not the only one.
