Grease Night in the States last night, would rather that theme was left there.

Did Aljaž teach and choreograph this DWTS Quickstep? Felt like something we'd see from him with gapping throughout the entire number! And the celeb is apparently an ex professional dancer:

That’s three rumbas this season already - I don’t think we had more than one last year.
Someone on ITT said it was an optional dance they had to request to do. Which brings up a whole can of worms about request dances - didn’t know that was a thing.

I don't think you have to request it, but you can easily opt out of it. Kevin was saying it was one he usually chose not to do as it is basically not worth it as it's hard to make an impact and easy to go wrong. I thought Adam's one was fine if a bit underwhelming, but it is talked about like Ed Balls/Gangnam Style, and got the same marks as Greg's samba atrocity!
 
I think the lighting on Strictly is phenomenal. My dad is a retired theatre lighting director & he watches Strictly ‘just for the lights’ 🤣 in fact, he watches a lot of live TV & bangs on about the lighting 😂

I only really started watching in 2017 so can’t comment much on how it’s changed. But I blooming love everything about Strictly because it’s fun & uplifting. I don’t take it so seriously, I don’t care if it’s inconsistently marked or there are ringers or Motsi doesn’t say much. I love the sparkle, love the dancing, love the pros. It cheers me right up!
 
Genuine question and I really don’t offend anyone by asking this. Obviously they’ve got a Charleston this week so never much in the way of hold but does anyone think John and Johannes are doing less hold in dances you’d expect them to because they’re worried it won’t be so popular with the viewers? Or could it just be a case that they think John is better out of hold?

I am in no doubt there will still be many a viewer who thinks there shouldn’t be same sex couples on Strictly so I’m wondering if they’re trying to err on the side of caution a bit

I dunno cos their tango was in hold and as far as I'm concerned that was their best dance. Plus the pros dance with the same sex couples showed that it can be done well!
