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

Craig!!

Emma quashed it. Said it was an unfounded rumour.

Chris the hairdresser

@RoxieLoxy

yes because one is always standing still
looking awkward

She has but I can’t remember who now. It always takes me a while to remember who everyone is!

Neil was on ‘ escape to the Country ‘ with his wife and he was so nice and they seemed a lovely happy couple.

Yes, the Kardashian hairdresser. I think.

I'd prefer Josh on top because we need some easy going humour up there.

Definite potential for Tabby!

I’m really enjoying Jojo in the Clauditorium so far, he’s great! I want it to go well for Josh but he needs to rein it in a bit. Emma… no notes, fabulous

Sarah is from my neck of the woods. I drive past her golden post box earlier.

Damn.
That would probably have worked better.

I'll have to watch that. I just wish he hadn't done that weird insta character. It was hideous. He's such a beautiful dancer though.

Thank you

I still think they will rotate

I bloody love Sarah. Really want her to.do well

Sarah is a remarkable woman - but I don't think she is a born dancer.

I can’t really understand why they would have thought it was necessary. Emma would be perfectly fine on her own. Now they’ve got to try not to talk over each other. I think Josh would have been better doing the jokey stuff upstairs on his own, after the dances.

Didn't like that at all but that's another hard dance and too early

So do I

Sarah was a bit stiff and awkward but will improve. She's obviously a really hard worker.

Maybe to work out whose best where under pressure of live telly.

That was unfortunately pretty forgettable.

I suppose it doesn't matter much this week as nobody goes out?

Yeah, passsable but didn’t set me alight!

I wasn't keen on that. She seemed a bit awkward. Early days though.
