Wasn’t there reports of Georgia boyfriend being jealous of them. For some reason I remember not being fazed when they got together 😂

He was definitely suspicious of them and I think they ended up splitting quite acrimoniously. I was meaning more in the media - I definitely remember the usual Daily Mail pap pictures and the “are they aren’t they” of Jay and Aliona (which I believe was probably orchestrated by Aliona to keep the public interested - showmancing isn’t a new thing 😂)
 
I thought Ranvir and Gio had tonnes of chemistry. I wouldn't be surprised if something had happened between them, as they don't seem to be friends now, having seemingly been close. She barely posted for him when he won.

There is hardly any potential for a surprise couple to come out of this year, I think. So few contestants were single, or paired with single pros. No wonder AJ and Kai are carrying the shipping burden!

Seeing as the RIo stans seemed desperate to get Rose to dump her boyfriend, it wasn’t just kj having it! Also the Katya/Adam near kiss, the Sara/Aljaz live in thing, Tom and Amy not being able to let go, the various press things about Dan and Nadiya hugging……it’s been a very odd year indeed!
But the dancing has been great!

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.

Absolutely this. If you can't fake a romantic connection in a dance surely you can't be that good. You should be able to dance and teach dance to people you aren't attracted to sexually, and I think Kai is a great dancer/teacher. I don't really rate Dianne. I think she's more style over substance, which is a more plausible reason ascto why she hasn't got far. Kai seems like someone who is capable of having a LTR, so maybe he is happier being in one than having a series of showmances for the sake of publicity( like Gio).

Is AJ actually doing the tour? Surely with such an injury, she cannot sustain weeks of intensive rehearsals & nightly dancing?!

I tore a ligament in my shoulder skiing as a teenager & it was 8 weeks of it being immobile and then very slowly building strength back up. I couldn’t fully use my arm for about 6 months, I had no strength in it & it would be horribly painful after a day of ‘use’. I had to have a scribe for some of my A-Level exams as I couldn’t write for 2 hours straight 😭

I just cannot see her being recovered enough at all.. I guess they’ll be throwing intensive & expensive rehab at her but it still seems a long shot to me!

Also, still don’t see AJ & Kai. Never have, nothing is telling me different post show!

They are still down for doing the tour, and no statements so far. She did say it was improving just before Xmas. It’s the third week of recovery now and I’m sure they are throwing the kitchen sink at it with physio etc. Maybe she will miss the first half and join later on. Kai had better not get covid in Italy and get stuck out there with Gio, just to add to the chaos!
Also - no one knows if anything is going on with Kj, except themselves. They do seem very close in various ways, but whatever, they have 3 months more together on the tour if it goes ahead, so I would imagine they are at least great friends.

Yeah when you put it like that there was an awful lot of weird tension/intensity this year, even if no actual couples (yet)

Neil managed to avoid any speculation though :ROFLMAO:

From all accounts a lot of stuff goes on behind the scenes on the tour…so I’m rather praying it all goes ahead ok, as who knows what will happen by the end of it!

😂 there are always random tabloid articles like when apparently people were unhappy about joe and dianne kissing all the time and Kevin coming to see Stacy.

They must be quietly confident that she will be healed in time, otherwise they would have ruled her out completely. If the injury was going to take months to heal they would have told her and she would be off the line up as there would be absolutely no chance of her being ready in time.

Everyone’s injury is different and heals differently. There are still 3 weeks until the tour kicks off so depending on how well she does in the next few weeks she could be ok.

You tore your shoulder ligament skiing. AJ tore a ligament learning wonderful dances. I tore a ligament in my leg…falling over a rope. That was connected to a bouncy castle.

Some great content in here of all sorts. the second one with Kiavanni dancing to the theme tune is especially funny ( not sure why it isn’t showing up, but will take you to AJ’s insta post)

Or simply raking in the pre-sales of tickets to her fans with no real clue whether she will be able to dance or not - if it really was a torn ligament, fairly unlikely she will be able to dance.

I doubt it. As I said if they didn’t think there was a chance she would be healed she would know by now and so would everyone else.
 
In the small print/captions on Instagram it does say they canning guarantee appearances. I assume this is because of covid but they could apply it to AJ if she’s not able to dance. When I bought tickets to a play tom Hiddleston was in they covered the asses but stating the same thing same with any theatre show where a big name is appearing. Think they’ve also added that in after the sickness bug went round last tour and dances got pulled.
 
Has AJ had her boot off yet? Rehearsals will probably start a week on Monday which isn't much time. I really hope she can dance because she deserves a happier ending to her Strictly experience but this feels a little like when she was on ITT on crutches on Wednesday and the show was adamant she’d be jiving in the final on Saturday. Like with the final, they won't announce she can't do the tour until the last possible minute just in case and their note about not guaranteeing appearances covers them if she does have to withdraw.
