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

That felt like a lot of Amy dancing and not much of Chris dancing.

When they tried to appeal to a different demographic than their base. Mistake.

I liked that

Emma ok, Josh and JoJo rubbish. I keep thinking how much better Zoe would have been. What was the BBC thinking of?

Do you mean they'll lose Jojo?

It looks terrible IMO it’s fake! Obviously she carries it off though

He wont last long

Zoe would have been good, but it’s nice to see a dancer presenting and it’s not terrible.

Stop, I keep thinking about Zoe. I hope she's not watching.

Did Zoe want it?

He looks like Paddy McGuinness!

A lot of Celebrity Hunted featured her without make up and she is so naturally gorgeous.

Jessie Buckley won an Oscar this year and she was a runner up Nancy.

No, I don’t mind Jo jo! I think he’ll carry on tbh

Oh yeah, I know its fake but I think it does suit her. And I'm envious of anyone who can carry it off because I never could.

Ken doll. 😂

Ken doll! Yikes.

Funny isn't it, he does seem a bit unlikable imo. Maybe he'll grow on me

i think Samantha Barks and Jesse Buckley have done rather well.

I feel really sad that we've lost the Strictly we knew and loved.- the 3 presenters is not working -Jojo - love him - but not in the Clauditorium,
Hope it gets better.....

I do like how encouraging Josh n Emma are.
They seem to work well together I think

Chris’s hair is not a great ad for his business

Aw I like him. Love Amy so want them to do well.

Yes she auditioned and was public about how disappointed she was not to get it.

Emma is very natural

she’s a class act

josh seems a bit like a rabbit in headlights
