[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

Looks like we might be getting proper scoring this year

Also, we can't hear Jojo when they do it.

I know. Screechathon

Not sure about JoJo being up top!

Dianne’s hair is amazing !

Johannes looks like he's wearing something left behind by Tess.

I thought that Josh would be doing the Claudia bit tbh

Oh Ellie is there!

Ha ha ha! Nigel was another one who bowed out due to injury. I do think there's potential amongst those who weren't able to go the distance for something.

Me neither.
Josh would be so much better being Claudia. Jojo looks too wooden.

Would be great if we couldnt see Josh’s eyes reading the autocue

I think I’m going like this pairing- didn’t catch their names, Canadian bloke and the athlete :)

I'd also rather see Josh up top - he's probably better at being spontaneous than JoJo.

Mark is lovely..

Diane knew the score and stopped Will to be fair. It felt a hair's breadth away from carnage.

Million per cent agree!

I'd have every track instrumental if ever I was a contestant. Did not miss the wailing

I do like this song. They play it a lot on radio 2

Illegal move there?

I don't know this female celeb's name - she doing the choreo and all the steps but is a bit stiff. Not really feeling the music.

Im so sorry for your loss ❤️

Tabby,

I thought it was going to be Tina Turner with that outfit. Seemed in sync though

Mark's hair looks a bit plastic.

Tabby lost it a bit at the end
