[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Housekeeping : If the thread goes down like last week it’s not anything to do with me, complaints to Site Stuff

100 posts left on previous thread but majority agreed to a weekly thread so here we are, please board the glitterbus

I’ve put NO SPOILERS but I don’t think we have an elimination this week. In any case the Spoiler Thread is here :

KEEP DANCING

I think Graeme has ballroom training. Not sure about the others.

I can’t vote for a ringer thats the problem, it’s the principle!

Is this Strictly or Portrait Artist of the Year, Anton? 😁

Oh well. They are not that impressed really.

Bethany has done musical theatre

Not all actors study dance but all actors should nail the character aspect when it's needed.

What have they done to Amy’s hair?

I love JoJo. As a dancer. The Josh Emma thing isn’t working.

It’s a dance and musical theatre school. I don’t mind previous dance experience as long as they bring chemistry.

They have to have something to aim for

Looks like a clip on fringe!

Cat tax, as requested on page 1. Apologies for the delay.

Only a ringer could pull off a Paso in week 1🙄

Motsi looks different but I can’t put my finger on it?

Johannes is poor. He doesn't know when to start talking - he's trying to shout over the cheering, and so wooden. I'm embarrassed for him. Josh and Emma are both fine.

Just lost a significant amount of weight i think.

Josh upstairs, Emma downstairs would work really well – JoJo not necessary

It is not good

Oh dear 😆

Oh his arms are dreadful

Cripes

I'm finding the bits with josh/johannas presenting so uncomfortable to watch. Emma is great though, she really does not need Josh with her, he adds nothing! Johannahs needs to stick to dancing, he just isn't a presenter. They should have hired 2 known presenters! Makes for uncomfortable watching with them 2!

Aww, his concentrating face!

Trousers doing him no favours

This is painful.

He is a candidate for an early exit.
