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 was good from Jaime. Does she have dance experience?

She was ace.

The dances were fun.

Also love the Jamie has been a runner on set. That's a hard job and one that probably most of any cast won't have done.

I was wondering that? Very good.

I liked these two.

Cach was petulant not a good look.

OH BABY IF YOU HAVE TO GO AWAY

Paralympian

Has Motsi been on the Mounjaro?

I want more of Josh presenting but less scripted. Emma I'm not bothered about. JoJo is out of his depth. Otherwise it's all about the dancing and annoyed by the whittering.

Was it Jaime in a film involving a boat and a seedy activity ?

Motsi and Shirley both look amazing. When Motsi joined she'd not long since had a baby. She's also less shouty these days.

Yes I know. I’m not certain if she’s GBs most decorated or the worlds as well.

I agree entirely.

Having a famous dad plus Love Island doesn't make you a proper celeb either.

Here comes the Nepo Baby

She looks so much like her mum.

I'd prefer to see her dad doing Strictly tbh.

I do think Johannes is being so kind to them all which I like.

Funny how she got Nikita again

Dani is pretty good, but her legs need to be together

She’s pretty decent, I can see them going quite far.

That was good

Danced okay though (grudgingly)

Yeah she did fine.
