Strictly 2025 : The Glitterball Returns. Week One. No Vote Off. 18.55 PM

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Hi Everyone!

Started this slightly early as I have some distractions nearer the time.

The general consensus was for a Weekly Thread so please move across to this shiny new one.

Thanks

That was better than I was expecting.

I liked Auntie Ethel at her big birthday bash.

That was pretty good, better than in the group dance last week.

I didn't like the opening staging, or the comic bits, but La Voix can dance.

Much better than I expected.

La Voix has musical theatre training, so it’s not too surprising!

Oh that explains why Aljaz danced over to her twice and why she flapped about on the horse slightly oddly.

He was good, I'm not usually keen when they do same sex couples but I like this, seems a good pairing

This is absolutely not for me. Hope he leaves first. Imagine how Motsi would feel if someone blacked up to dance. It's no different.

Tess wearing a bath mat! 🤣🤣

Aunty Ethel was pleasingly elegant. I rather enjoyed that 😂

Alijaz is back on fighting form :). I wonder if La Voix does his own make up for the live performances.

at the Bathmat comment

Not too bad. I was expecting worse considering Aljaz was just dancing by himself for a while there at the beginning. I think he might struggle more with Latin.

Tessbot malfunctioned with that comment 😂

It’s your show 🤣

I didn't mind that.

I read him quoted as saying he was looking forward to having his makeup done for him on the show as until now he’s always had to do it for himself.

I’m not a huge fan of drag but he did actually do rather well.
I’d be more interested to see him do it as himself to be honest though.

Is it Tom next?

La Voix looks like Olivia Coleman.

Yes like The Vivienne did on Dancing on Ice.

Tess’ arms are very long aren’t they, a bit Mrs Tickle-esque - Tess Tickle!

Oh my god! 😂

I like a bit of humour in Strictly. I hope he stays in for a while.
