So Alan Deddicoate does the commentary to DWTS? How funny.

Tonight's was so lacklustre. Odd how sometimes there is a real spark about the show and other times it is flat.

yeah, Alan Dedicoat has a studio at home so he can do voiceovers anywhere at any time. I'm pretty sure every time we hear him on telly, he's at home!

telly stats is tit posting and dave thorp is promoing his own site, so I think we're buggered for a spoiler until dave accosts a runner in the morning 😣
 
Thought the same as everyone else about the nearly kiss. Karen looked stunning, I'd forgotten how pretty she was with longer hair (just an opinion, yes I know it's her head). Weird scoring and some dragging out of comments. Loved Craig's comment to Motsi re the shouting. Usual vocals tonight. I didn't think it was possible to butcher the Macarena but the male singer/s managed it.

Adam and his girlfriend met on tinder and she was pregnant two months after and he was training constantly and then away with the Olympics, i can’t see how they have even had time to get to know each other.

He’s probably already spent more hours with Katya than the girlfriends seen him since they met!

He met her at Loughborough Uni when she was doing a degree course and he was training there.

Just watched this and WOW, thank you for the recommendation! My fave AT has always been Simon Webbe & Kristina Rhianoff but this DWTS guy looks like a professional 🤯

Video below for anyone who loves a bit of Argentine Tango:

Funny! I remember years and years and years ago Brendan Cole was dancing with some blonde woman, can't remember her name think she was off casualty, anyway they didn't get on at all, mostly because she couldn't dance and she literally couldn't even walk in heels but he forced her to wear them and he ended up dragging her round the dance floor. They didn't last long 😂

I am finding Nancy very strange. She’s like a cartoon character.

It's her head, it's huge! I've mentioned it before. She's got the longest face, it doesn't match her body. I find it really distracting.

Yeah I don't think I'd watch if it was like DWTS. not just the ringers, but all the various theme weeks (I don't mind the ones we have but that's enough). It's just very American.

This week's was a bit dull. Nothing really wowed me.

My favourite argentine tango is still Karen and Mark.

 
I'm predicting that unless he does something amazingly different next week, Rhys is going to start falling into the bottom two - his Facebook stats were really low last night and his couple's choice last week didn't exactly do well on the YT views (sitting in the middle, where usually most street dance routines are the most viewed of the week)

I watched back his salsa trying to work out why it looked so weird, and it's almost as if his arms are trying to do the next move before his feet have finished the one before?

Zendaya coming second in her year still annoys me to this day!

If you watch all of Meryl’s dances and it’s clear to see why she won, yes she was a ringer but she was amazing! She was actually partnered with Val’s brother, Maksim (this was during a switch up week) and everyone was convinced the pair of them were at it🙈

Really? Brendan used to be so good at hiding it when he didn’t get on with his celebrity….😉

I agree about Rhys. My kids always make me throw him a vote because they know him from cbbc but they get bored if it's not a theme week so I didn't vote for him! Anton was spot on about the Salsa. He was flinging his arms and legs all over the place ( It also reminded me of my misspent youth when Salsa clubs were all the rage!) He needs to calm down a bit.

Perfect description! I think all the speed and movement makes it look better than it is if that makes sense. He is due a ballroom dance and that’ll be a turning point for them. And call me an old woman but they need to calm down a bit! Can you imagine them, Janette and Karen on the Clauditorium like the old days 😳

Oh I didn't realise so just looked it up and they met on Tinder at the beginning of 2020! So yeah...bit of a rush job then. The article I looked up says his girlfriend has posted a sexy photo of herself on her Insta saying 'not worried'!!

She claimed during the Olympics she had no idea who he was and when she told her dad she was going on a date it was only then she knew who he was. I’m surprised she’s not been around more dying Strictly because in the Olympics she was like a bad rash you couldn’t get rid of.
