Strictly 2026 : WEEK FIVE 6.30pm - When I Go Out, I Wanna Go Out DANCING NO SPOILERS!

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Homage to Kylie in the thread title

Pedant proof time

KEEP DANCING! 💃💃

I can’t see jojo going @the80sweregreathe seems to be loving his new role. He seems to me to be getting better at it too. Think Josh will bow out though.

Only watched the dances but WTF was Cach doing down there on 24? Voted for him twice.

I don’t dislike the men , but Josh was a strange choice and maybe it seemed to work better during the auditions than it is in real life ! Emma works well with anyone , but I’d love to know what they all really think of each other ! ..

Rubbish. Maddie is a brilliant new pro and they are consistently good for me, in fact insanely good.

Whereas Graeme and Will come on every week and ponce about a bit and get 7s and 8s. And normally Vito is great but I didn't care for Lacey's dance this week, couldn't tell what dance it was.

Graham wasn’t too bad this week, but he’ll run out of votes and fans eventually. I think he comes across well and that helps.

I don't see that Maddie is brilliant if she can't or won't choreograph the correct dance. Tonight was meant to be a cha cha cha and yet the judges said it wasn't. Their first dance was not whatever it was meant to be but just Cach doing his street dance moves.

She seems to think she doesn't have to abide by any rules and knows better than the judges

Loved Lacey and Vito tonight!

Vito looked so so so hot! When it was the end of the dance and she was on the floor and he was stood there frozen in his strong masculine frame I swear I was drooling! Phwoar Vito!

Anyway…..

Dani and Nikita were over marked in my opinion. It all looked a bit messy and disorganised.

Nancy and Bethany looked so uncomfortable - it just didn’t work. I was so disappointed as the actual music video to that song is really steamy so I had high hopes. It was the biggest let down of the night for me.

And poor SWP - his dad and family sitting in the audience looked gutted for him 😢

I don’t really like the CC so I was unmoved by Tabby and Mark even though they’re my favourite couple overall.

I thought Delta and Kai’s dance was a bit cliche. I don’t know why but I don’t really enjoy watching them. She seems too perfect, and that alongside his white teeth…it all just seems a bit fake. I don’t feel invested in them like I do the other couples.

Anyhow….. I’m going to go and re-play Lacey and Vito’s dance so I can see him in those trousers again 🤣🤣

Watching Emma on the Voice, she holds the whole thing together on her own effortlessly, and its the same sort of thing - acts performing, a panel of judges making decisions, lots of autocue, plus adlibbing and chat. I know Strictly's a bigger show but it feels like they've not trusted her to do it on her own, giving her a sidekick.

I agree. I think that three’s a crowd here, and that Josh will leave SCD of his own volition after this series, head held high.

I wonder how Josh got the gig ? He isn’t the one person you’d think that would be a good fit. He did the Christmas show , but for presenting this he seems out the loop and it doesn’t work. I do like him, but he is like the plus one at a wedding where you know nobody and everyone ignores you and then you end up on a table with Neil wondering where it all went wrong!
I wish he had been put upstairs, he seems better on Sunday. I hope he bows out with dignity if he is dropped or whatever !

I cannot understand the love for Graham tbh !

Graham seems genuine , but also wants to improve and is likeable. I do like his dog programme.

I'm enjoying Graeme. There was the initial nice surprise in the early weeks that he was actually dancing which is not the default for older males, and he goes into each dance with suitable gusto and character. He entertains me and dances with a pleasing outcome.

I prefer watching dancers like him develop over dancers like Cach being reined in or going off on a tangent.

Graham is also competitive and I like that. He isn’t just coasting along.

I like Graeme and didn't expect to. I just think him and Lauren have chemistry and like watching them dance.
Gave him 2 votes, Jaime 2 and Laurence 1, as he was death slot and I hated Will's routine so much.
Bethany and Nancy were who I was rooting for 5 weeks ago but I have been underwhelmed.
Shaun has had 2 routines to save him but cannot dance and needs to go now but if Will went instead, I'd be fine.
Interesting that we had gf in with Jowita this week. John's having a baby too. Are there any single men in it this series? Cach maybe? But Maddie has RBF.
Dani was not steamy enough. Lacey, like Delta, is excellent but it feels like dancing by numbers. And I agreed with Shirley about her routine.
I don't feel Dani, Lacey or Delta's chemistry with their partners. Not tonight anyway.
Cach needs to unlearn things.
Despite Jaime also looking angry all the time, I think I like her partnership and Graeme and Lauren the best. Totally unexpected.
Tabby got her show dance in already this evening. Still looking forward to her being a skeleton next Saturday.

Tabby as a skeleton! Genius
i like Halloween week.

Sadly wasn’t able to finish watching or even vote as we’ve had a massive powercut

Totally predictable.

We had a power cut yesterday for four minutes !

Me too. But I never get the music I want, possibly because DWTS nicked it first or maybe they cannot make it fit.
So I'd love...
Emperor's new clothes - panic at the disco
Heads will roll - yeah, yeah, yeahs
Kill of the night - gin wigmore
Cry little sister - Lost boys OST
Fear the reaper - any version if BOC won't work
Frankenstein - editors
Black cat - Janet Jackson
Ole devil called love - Alison Moyet version

There are others! I have an old post somewhere.
(Sequins under a name change but cannot be arsed to change back).
Hope you are all well.
I like the trio of presenters.
Josh makes me laugh and Emma and him have great chemistry. But she is epic. So natural and good at presenting.

What I abhor though is what they have done to Neil and him, poor bugger with bills to pay and freshly married and with a daughter, sucking it up to be the butt of the joke. Every. Single. Week.
Crikey, even Anton didn't have it so bad.
Or Anten, based on tonight.
Not as bad as a Donny ten but still not like getting one from Craig. Although he has also over marked a couple of times this series which is irksome.
Yes, skeleton is obvious. But tickles me nonetheless. Be amazed if they don't go with it.
At least Halloween is actually on Halloween this year.

The Neil joke isn’t funny anymore is it.

They've really stuck it to him.
Sloth rather than dancing.
Referee rather than dancing.
Ballroom boy joke.
Reading numbers out twice.
His insta about waiting for a Xmas partner.
I know any attention is some attention and he is still being paid, arguably easy money, and he is alleged to be quite thirsty but he is actually one of the most qualified there!

It’s time to stop the Neil send ups.!

Graeme is my favourite. I find him the most entertaining.

Graham has personality , something that some of them lack.
