Ugo is probably slightly relieved, back pain is horrible and all the training etc would have only caused his current issue to drag on longer. But I feel for him as he has had alot to cope with in the last few weeks.

I must admit I was surprised he was able to return a week later with a bad back. But like someone else said..I'm also surprised the ones who have covid come back after a week. Most people feel ill and have no energy for quite a while afterwards. Maybe that's why Tom looks ill?
 
Was there anyone else here who rolled their eyes a bit at Johannes getting tearful about getting through to next week? We've already had this a few times now from him and its a bit much for me now; I understand how much more this will mean to him being in a same sex partnership its just come on now were in week 5 now. Don't get me wrong I do like J&J, not my faves but I do think if they keep up this consistency then they do deserve a place in the final.

Judi love said today - "I'm feeling lethargic and achy, but I’m hoping to rest up and kick it as soon as I can."
Does not sound too good if she has to start rehearsals asap.

You're not the only one. I adore Johannes and really liked their first 3 dances but the last couple of weeks I've felt a bit like he's been acting and generally over the top to get votes. You're better than this. John's a great dancer so focus on memorable routines rather than cheap gimmicks. As a guaranteed finalist now I worry he's already peaked

I'm constantly rolling my eyes when it comes to Johannes. I've said it before and I'll say it again, he makes it all about him. There's no doubt he's talented and that pirate dance was incredible, but he's attention seeking to the extreme and its turning me right off him. He needs to remember that he's not the celeb.

Agreed. I liked him at first, but over the last two series he’s started to irritate me considerably. So gushy, so overly emotive and faux sincere.

Halloween Week is my yearly reminder that Giovanni and Faye produced the best Halloween routine and the fact it didn’t get 40 is a travesty!

It was utterly wonderful 😍😍😍😍

I was watching him last night and thinking what a challenging routine that salsa was for someone recovering from covid. They really should have gone easier on the lifts, for both of their sakes.

And I’d dare to suggest that Tom is fitter than Judi, so unfortunately I fear she’s really going to struggle when she returns.
 
Fair play to Johannes. After I imagine a lifetime of having to pretend to be something he isn’t, feeling like he should hide himself, feeling ashamed of himself etc etc etc, I don’t begrudge him one minute of his time in the sun. A time for him to be truly himself, emotions & all. I imagine all this was beyond his wildest dreams for a long, long time. And I think his emotion each week is genuine. And I say that because my best friend is gay & had an awful time growing up & with his family. He sends me tearful voice notes every Saturday about them. How much it means to him, his husband. How much it would have meant to him as a teenager. How much it kills him watching his nieces & nephews watching it & thinking it’s cool.. I think until you’ve walked in someone’s shoes, don’t judge them for how they feel. John speaks openly about how much he’s struggled with being gay as well. Up until fairly recently. It’s not an easy path for many to walk.

The reaction has been far far better than I thought I have to say. I was kinda anxious. But it’s really been quite positive! Even my older relatives like them!

Johannes and John need some dances where not being in hold is not an option and stop with the side by side dancing.
Its repetitive and tiresome now. Ive nit enjoyed their last 2 dances.
Do something new, exciting unexpected.

while I am a mahoosive j+j stan, I do totally agree they need to do more in hold. a beautiful, romantic waltz or a filthy, filthy Argentine tango... anything will do

don't think either of those are likely for halloween week like...

I really want to see them do a sexy smouldering Argentine Tango. And a rumba.

But I'd also like to see a pretty, floaty ballroom. I believe they are capable of all these things.

We have to remember that they gave us that amazing tango in Week One, which was almost all in hold.

yeah, I'm as guilty as anyone for forgetting the tango, which feels like years ago now, but at the time, it elicited a reaction in me a lot like the lady in the pub! it was so good and who can forget the boyfriend's reaction, poor bloke 😆

anyhoo, they're so so good, but I need more!
