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 💃

I’ve seen pasos done on this show to more traditional music and the judges always love it too.

Looking back at Vito's partnerships. All of them had a very excitable personality to them and videos often showed them giggling and having a laugh. I think that's what made him and his partners endearing to the public.

Lacey doesn't appear to have the same bubbliness, and appears more subdued as does Vito.

That's just made me watch The Police singing Roxanne. Blimey Sting was gorgeous in those days.

Sorry off topic.

It’s not so much the hyped audience as the reaction when the couples get their scores all hugging and kissing and screeching totally over the top.

Everybody needs to do what they're best at on Strictly I reckon there are too many leaders. You need one leader deciding what everyone is best at and taking the bull by its horns. Doing whar's best for Strictly. I don't think that's going to happen.

Do you mean’ leaders ‘ as in the ones dancing or presenting it ? Or on the leader board ? Sorry to sound a bit dim.

Don’t worry, I can’t quite follow that either 😆

I agree, I can’t quite put my finger on it but something seems abit off with Lacey. She may just have a very reserved personality, but she doesn’t seem to be enjoying her experience and not connecting with Vito which makes me sad…. How could you not love him!

im also not feeling cash and Maddie. Maybe they’re both just too young and trendy for me… but I feel like cash is just doing the same sort of style each week and getting away with it. Idk. I didn’t like him in live island and I don’t like him now.

Ah I means the powers that be on Strictly. The bosses. I suspect there are too many bosses/ leaders when one leader can effectively make the important decisions. Ensuring the staff - the right presenters, dancers and judges do what they do best. I get a sense of who's in charge around here because the presenters haven't been delegated roles that plays to their stengths.

Agree @autumngirl714 something off with Lacey🤔.
I’m also not a Cash fan don’t like him.

Ahh, that makes sense re leaders.

Lacey isn’t enjoying her journey is she ! We are feeling it through the screen!

Wrong thread!

Personally — I don’t think Lacey dislikes Vito. I get the impression she’s just really nervous about being on the show and that that might be getting in the way of her enjoying it. She always seems to come across as on edge to me. Maybe she’s regretting agreeing to going on it?

"Sorry off topic."

But you're not wrong at all.

@autumngirl714
I find it very easy to not love Vito… sorry
More to the point, it looks as if Lacey is also finding it easy to not love him.
Maybe they’ll warm to each other in time, it’s still early days.

I don't think Lacey or Vito are going to be stating they'll be besties for life.

Anyone watching the results?

Evening! It’s got to be Shaun leaving tonight hasn’t it?

Meeeeeeeee!

I am watching the results show.

I think Melanie might escape the DO again.

I’m here

Ooh, glad for Laurence.

Pleased for Jaime and I’m glad they didn’t leave her until the end.
