[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

There's more to life, don't bother

I agree

He's so much taller but then she can do the tree climbing thing she does if he's terrible.

I’m wondering if they are going to swap JoJo and Josh about.

Emma looks beautiful. As do Shirley and Motsi!

I’m a big Josh fan so hope he does well.

I'm up for a paso now.

One of Harry’s better songs!

Laurence and Jowita look like a pairs skating couple! She's tiny and he's twice her size.

I agree. He’s very dry and witty in his own right.
Emma is very, very good but I think Zoe Ball would have been perfect.

Lawrence is a beautiful man

I watch Emmerdale through the medium of Gogglebox. This is sufficient.

A quick Wiki search tells me this one went to Dance School.

I like this

What did Katja just say??

Lawrence apparently has no hips. A bit heavy.

Oooh good dance!

Noooo. A RINGER?!

I thought it looked like 3 but am probably mistaken

That was good. Jowita is an excellent pro.

I noticed the height difference last week. Hmm. He wasn't bad though!

A lot of actors probably do dancing as well.
I don’t think he looks like a ringer tbh.

Oof.
Ive got flutters.
Hello!

Liked that he’s fab!

Are there any major ringers this year? I couldn't follow the thread last week.

Ooh, I like a paso. Extra points for guyliner!

He attended Knightswood Dance School , which is quite a Big Thing.

Seconded. Im enjoying the beardiness, too
