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

Eine

😂 He does!

I agree. I dislike drag but I think he was OK and is quite funny in character, but I would like to see him do a few dances as himself.

ick

Or Miss Jones from Rising Damp

I am looking forward to seeing La Voix for many more weeks. He’s the sort of drag queen I like (written as a frequent FWR poster) - he’s also very sharp, and experienced with audiences.

i bloody hate drag. Misogynistic bollocks. He seems ok as himself, but doing drag reveals something quite unpleasant. And he was shit. 3s and 4s at best. I stopped watching last year for ridiculous non dance marking. I’ll be out again if this utter, utter nonsense continues. 6s? Bollocks.

@PrincessScarlett@Smartiepants79 There is potential for him to dance as himself Shane Jenek/Courtney Act did it on the Australian version

Never seen Steve Pemberton and Olivia Coleman in the same room .....

I think He was going to terrible considering the amount of faffing abaht alijaz was doling at the beginning. But not too bad at all.

Yes!

I feel Alex and Johannes were undermarked through going early

The shots of Ellie aren’t comfortable - it all seems too much for her.

DD is fast forwarding so I missed it - what happened?

Amy is so dinky

Aljaz was faffing though because the horse was meant to be descending!

I thought at times she looked a bit overwhelmed

Agree with this. Hard to see. It feels overwhelming for her

Amy looks incredible. Poor her being partnered with this bell end.

Tom looks constipated.

He’s like shrek

Oh they are setting him up to fail with this dance.

I agree that it is uncomfortable watching Ellie having to be comforted in the background. I hope she is being supported properly.

This is basically like a random member of the public won a prize

It's a long night to be "on"

Has Thomas started dancing yet?
