Strictly 2026 : WEEK THREE 18.15 pm Get On Your Dancing Shoes NO SPOILERS

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

HOUSEKEEPING :

Doing weekly threads as was agreed to at the start of the series by the majority. But this means for the first time this series we’ve got an unfinished thread. People are also posting still on the end of Week Two. Chat split over 3 threads isn’t great. If we could all move over to this thread and stick to it, that would be great

CHEERS

KEEP DANCING 💃

But he was Brucie for decades on other shows too

It's such a strange thing to do to that beautiful song.

Omg Anton has called out the counting.

Was Julian counting and giving instructions all the way there...?

I agree, but we do need to remember it is only week 3

yes I saw her counting

Oh ok…it would have felt disrespectful here

Brucy bonus!

Every year I ask who exactly chooses the music and the dance? California Dreaming for a Paso!!! Absolutely ridiculous.

I’m sure he did the same with Balvinder last year too.

Oops! Just went to get 2nds of supper during the comments.
So he was counting.

Conflicting advice on counting.

Couldn't see the counting but it was hard to see much with that lighting

Appreciate Craig is still on the programme.

All the leaves are 🍂 BROWN and the sky is GREY - and the set is BLUE with lasers for some reason, and something of an underwater vibe 🤷‍♀️

Everywhere! Over 500 now!
edit: Look north through your phone camera. I’m in a city and the sky isn’t dark enough for me to see anything.

Shirl looks like she's about to do the washing up with her scourers

I actually quite like Shirley’s dress

he was definitely talking during the dance, just rewound and watched for it

Also agree that California DREAMING doesn’t work as a paso. There is one line that suggests conflict in a relationship- if I didn’t tell her I could leave today - but they didn’t use that line!!

I like that Jojo can actually talk about the dancing. I think he's getting better.

I don't really watch the upstairs talking. I check out these posts instead.

He's definitely improving. I still don't want him up there in the results show, though.

I can’t warm to Sarah

Just going totally off-tangent. Growing up, I always thought that the lyrics, instead of "All the leaves are 🍂 BROWN" were "all the Lisa Brown".

In my defence, I did have a friend by the name of Lisa Brown.

@ILikeStrictlyit is coming up as 100% cloud down here (south) sadly
