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 Josh would be better non scripted but then the others would have to keep up with him.

Heels are evil

Love the outfits ! Very classy

I so rarely wear heels post pandemic. My feet are grateful.

I like this partnership!

She is good

I enjoyed that!

Dreadful song for a quickstep.

I can’t wait for these two at Halloween 🎃
Maybe a Shakespeare’s sister routine ..

Bethany is pretty good. But it felt a bit of a mirroring dance rather than a classic partner one.

I enjoyed that one.

Agree

i can’t believe he’s allowed himself to do something where he will be so censored and has to be sweet and nice

its just not him - on last leg he’d be ripping into strictly

Bethany looks like a potential finalist and Nancy seems a really good fit for her.

I mostly hate the singing but it's even worse when they have to change the time to make the dance work. Horrible

I think he’s doing okay

That. Would. Be. Awesome!

Emma should be downstairs on her own. Josh upstairs.
JoJo back on the dance floor.

Bethany was fab.u.lous

gave me some shivers

Who is the blonde woman between Dianne and Kai?

I’m going to say it. I miss Claudia.

Agreed. It's uncomfortable watching JoJo. It's basic stuff - not talking over the crowd, this is cringe-worthy I'm afraid.

I’d no idea Shaun was Ian Wrights son. His dancing was poor.

Why does Johannes keep on starting to speak about voting while theyre still runnng up the stairs - its very irritating!

Delta Goodrem

I hate the way the singers get lambasted on these threads. They are excellent. It might not sound like the recording you're used to but Natalie and Andrea are brilliant imho.
