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

Talking of Cat Deeley and that lady’s face pulling when she was dancing does anyone else struggle with CD and her mouth mannerisms on This Morning? ( or is it just me 😬)

Is Graham taking Lauren for a walk in a woodland burial site?

I think they didn’t expect to be criticised for not having enough content. She’s new.

FOUND IT!

Well I love Lauren.... hope she finds danceability with Graham

We thought that as well 🤣

Go Graeme - the older male celebs are usually dreadful. He's got some moves.

Paraolympian. Yes she is.

Lauren dancing around him.

Omg was not expecting that from Graham. Thoroughly enjoyed that!

I wonder how many songs about dogs they have lined up.

Not a bad first dance

First boot!

Yeah I am not sure either now. Though I definitely watched that too which I think is confusing the search 😂

In my mind they were already in pairs and it was an older pair doing Lindy hop (though this may not be true). SYTYCD looks like young people.

That was brill - Lauren is so talented at bringing the best out in her partners!

What a stupid song.

Graham has lots of potential if he sorts out his frame - stop stooping!

I love the fact he didn't even attempt a knee slide at the end. Just bent down gracefully.

He was really trying hard. Good job

I posted it above.

It was Strictly Dance Fever,

The singer ruined that song.

Graham had some moves, if I was voting tonight I’d be voting for him and Bethany…

The TikToker has pissed me right off with his sulky attitude and also the blatant fawning to him. Better see an improved attitude next week.

Lauren is fabulous!

Going back to Cash but I think Craig was right, save that for couples choice!

Odd! Seems like something I would have watched and definitely didn’t

Aw love these 2. I hope they do well.
