As @EineReiseDurchDieZeit is unable to start this week's thread I volunteered to do it, so here we are.

I hope this is OK!

Motsi is channeling Shirley Bassey.

He’s bad. He tried. He might get a pity vote this week but he won’t be around long

so unfair to put him on after the ringer when he's such a beginner.

He is trying and you can see he wants to do well.

I hadn’t clocked it started so early this week so a bit behind. Amber needs to fall over, forget her see steps and then be brilliant.

Why do th le pros never cotton on to this?

He gave it a good effort.
Paso in wk3 for a novice man is always going to look a bit stompy

I thought that was a bit better than his last 2 dances but I would be surprised if he and Ross weren’t bottom two considering the other contestants still left.

Are me & DP really the only people who have never heard of Cynthia Erivo?

Cynthia needs a cushion.

Shirley’s eyes look different. Just makeup?

I hadn't heard of her until Wicked the film came out last year.

I think you are probably right

No idea who she is either.

Same !

Christ alive, I know Axel has lost his voice but that was dreadful. As was the stomping.

Poor Chris. Shirley looks amazing tonight. Makeup on point. Are the judges channelling a kind of retro glam night at the movies look tonight?

Bit wooden. Bless him though, reminds me of a lurcher puppy, all paws and gawky but very endearing

Or an height adjustable chair, like Stephen Mangan on HIGNFY last night.

Craig is right.

Ban the 'Singing'

I only know Cynthia for the finger stroking business

never seen Wicked

what is the finger stroking business? not heard of that

I remember Cynthia last time she was on, and she was considerably less famous. I’m assuming she’s going to be signing tomorrow?

To be fair Cynthia is a major West End/Broadway star, but Wicked is the only mainstream thing she’s been in as far as I’m aware. If you’ve not seen the Wicked movie (which you should, it’s actually pretty good) then I can understand that people won’t have heard of her.

Ahh I love Chris, he's so polite and sweet.
