He doesn’t appear to be a ‘player’ like Gio though ( his last relationship was for five years with an older woman), so maybe he really is happy to be with her? Even if they do, there is all the tour upheaval and then the months away with the pro tours and Strictly commitments. If it survives that, then great, good for them. Surely worth a go?

No he doesn't; that why I put in my comment then if he is happy (and AJ too) then why not? Both of them should go for it if they make each other happy.

I was just talking in just competition terms, I don't see Kai getting a win with a youngish female when he is still with AJ romantically; I doubt a Rose type of contestant where they can come across like brother and sister will be heading his way for a good number of years like it did for Gio.

Do you think that’s why dianne has struggled to get past week 4?

I get the feeling that Strictly have realised he is their future star, so will provide contestants that will go quite far for him. He had a Miss Universe as one of his celebs on DWTS and managed to stay faithful to Guilia, so I’m sure he’d be fine. I do suspect that BBC are eyeing AJ up for future Strictly presenting jobs too.

Well Dianne met Joe year 2 so its a bit different and she's been knocked out early so its hard to tell fully but I think if she gets a youngish ringer or likeable middler in the future she could have that sister/brother thing that gio and rose had more easily now as shes older and its been 3 years since her partnership with Joe.

I guess time will tell but I have no doubt that TPTB will favour him more now that Gio has his win. I dont think Kai needs to cheat on AJ to certify he has a deeper connection with his future partner but I'm just thinking the AJ/Kai shippers need to brace the fact that 1) They actually might not be in a relationship and 2) He will need to have another good connection to another partner in the future romantic or not.

No not really.

Dev was quiet and fairly unknown . A lot of strictlys audience aren’t radio one listeners so probably weren’t all that interested and he was fairly forgettable. (aside from the Aladdin dance but I don’t really count themed dances when talking about memorable dances. They’re usually pretty gimmicky and sometimes lack actual content)

With Max it was obvious from the start he just wasn’t that arsed about the whole thing (which is why him doing the tour is so bizarre). He often looked like he’d rather be anywhere else. That coupled with a shorter much more stressful series because of covid just meant they didn’t get that far. I don’t think Dianne was even that arsed to be honest. There was some really creepy tweets threatening her and her safety so I think she was just glad to be back at home where she probably felt safer.

Robert was the first celeb she actually had a chance with to do reasonably well but he had to withdraw for his health’s sake. So that’s nothing to do with her and it was just unfortunate timing.

A pros romantic relationships shouldn’t make any difference to their progression on the show. That’s their private life and nothing to do with their work.
 
I feel AJ has pushed the whole “Are they? Aren’t they?” agenda much more than Kai has. For her I imagine she’s been caught up in the magic of Strictly & has read more into it with Kai, who’s just doing his job & establishing himself on the programme. He’s much more subtle & diplomatic than she is & I just don’t think they’re suited. She’s very loud & in your face & he seems more inclined to be quiet & understated.
I’d never heard of AJ before Strictly & I think she’s (rightfully) grabbed the opportunity to expand her career & stay talked about & just ran with the whole romance thing. I definitely think she’s more invested in Kai than he is in her.

Hmm, I would have said that to start with, but the last two weeks there was a subtle shift in the dynamics. Noone knows but them. It’ll come out eventually if they are. He’s a grown up, and I’m sure he’d insist on her shutting down her endless banter if he was uncomfortable with it.
 
I think the ‘are they aren’t they kai Aj ‘thing has been done to death.
If they were a couple they would be saying it by now. It’s like the ranvir Gio thing again, fans over analyzing tweets and comments not listening when told friends forever.
I see the same rubbish about Rose and Gio. No ladies he isn’t lost without Rose. It was a paid job and he has moved on to multiple insta babes since.

‘Rio’ was never a thing anyway . Rose isn’t single. AJ has never uttered ‘Friends forever’ although Kai has in his very formal statement, whilst still under contract. As I said, only they know, and if they are then good luck to them. Looks like he’s about to take over caring duties as he’s back in London , as is AJ, and her sister is flying back tomorrow to Brazil ( she’s been doing driving and other stuff for her).
 
Rose has posted on her Instagram a picture of her boyfriend and her doing the backwards lift on a beach. Gio says well done, yet all the crazies out there have written ‘wish it was you, she looked better with you etc…. ‘ stupid stuff like that. How old are these people?

Kai’s going to be looking after AJ? Well whatever happens, maybe they will be the exception to the “I’ve made a friend for life” rhetoric they all say. (For what it’s worth, I think when they say that most of them probably do mean it but they’re in that bubble of spending so much time together and enjoying the company and when things go back to normal, they drift apart).

If Kai’s going to be looking after AJ then that’s pretty huge, especially when she’s got a big family and probably lots of friends. I’m guessing she’a unable to start training again?

Genuine question @MidCenturyMadOne, you still seem quite invested in this. Do you mind me asking why?
 
With just over a week until rehearsals start is AJ really gonna be healed in time to perform in tour?
If she still needs someone to look after her, I’m thinking no. It would be a shame for them to miss some of the shows but she might be aiming towards the later dates?

I think if they’re wheeling out Max ‘I can’t believe I’m doing this again, I hated it the first time round’ George then I’m sure AJ will dance on next year’s tour, even if it’s not with Kai

They fascinate me at the moment! I follow them on insta/twitter plus their various family , so it is easy to put together the clues. Kai promised to be with her through her recovery, and he is the only one who would be suitable for being the one who makes sure she does her physio exercises properly. He needs her fit for the tour and trained, so has to be with her from this point to do that, she’s posted about missing him being her human uber ( with loads of sweet photos). Both families appear to adore each other and comment on each others posts with hearts and affirmations, it’s really heartwarming. I just really like them!

Looking after - meaning making sure she gets fit and is doing the right exercises etc.

Forgot to add, it’s easy to love AJ, as what you see is what you get with her. She also answers comments, good or bad on SM. She must have been travelling back (5hr car journey) yesterday as she was liking and commenting all afternoon, some were pretty candid. The sarcastic ‘So has Kai gone to ground and forgotten about you now it’s Christmas’ comment got a laugh emoji and a ‘it’s family time!’ comment from her. They both follow and retweet/put on stories some of the compilation videos the twitter stans make ( the more respectable ones!), which makes that crowd very happy ;).

I think it's her brother, but the point stands! Also Gio first posted that pic of him looking moody beside the boat months ago, and now he's reposted it people are like 'oh he looks so lost without Rose!' He seems perfectly happy back in Sicily seeing his family and following instababes.

This was an example of the chaos AJ was causing yesterday. She can’t help herself! Anyway, I need to get back to work for my sanity, and wean myself off twitter!

I just do not get the Rio stans at all! It’s so obvious they were just good friends the whole time. I think he loved that she just took the rip out of him the whole time and didn’t put up with any nonsense. Her boyfriend is obviously a keeper and she keeps him really private, good for her.
It really wouldn’t surprise me if DWTS usa have their eyes on Gio - they like handsome playas over there!

I still don't understand how this is chaos - because she's replying to fans? But yes, getting off twitter, especially this weird stan stuff, will definitely do you good.
