[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

She looks gorgeous but bit stiff and very nervous, who wouldn’t be though! This year I’ve started dance classes at my gym, I’m terrible but it’s so fun!

Sorry didn’t read you’d said this and I’ve just said the same!

Will be interesting to see if they rotate. I feel really awkward watching the two of them stood there 😬

I don't understand why they have Josh and Emma, just Emma on her own would be fine (way better than Tess, her inanities used to irritate me) with Josh 'upstairs'. I love Johannes, but I'm not sure about him up there.

I liked Tabby's dance, Sarah was a bit ironing board, but beautiful dress 🤩

Shirley looks like she's in a buttercup.

Shirley’s got the props out early this year.

The judges spiel could be trimmed down. At this stage anyway

NEXT!!!!!

I didn't realise how tall JoJo was.

I know its only week one but I wonder if Jojo will quietly go back to being a dancer next year.

I don't care about any of the filler. Spose they need it when they have set changes but they don't at this early stage.

I said this and totally agree. Emma is way better than Tess already and Josh would be much better than JoJo upstairs.

He would be ready to step inif any of the current pros gets injured...

Whoever said JoJo stole Tess’s outfit was spot on

JoJo should stick to dancing

he isnt a presenter

I like Jojo but my kitchen table would be a less woodland presenter.

What’s the point in 2 of them with the judges? Would be so much better with Josh upstairs, Emma downstairs and Johannes still dancing

Johannes being really lovely about the low scores.

I guess Jojo ticks a lot of the bbc’s boxes

Go Lawrence !!

Kilmacolm is my old neck of the woods!

They’re going to want us to keep guessing for a few weeks I reckon

That was amusing

Scores should be low in week one unless they are ringy

I should start watching Emmerdale.

Cringe

I'm now willing Aljaz to fall over and sprain his ankle!
