I just don't want Will mention his kids again. Like what exceptions do they have of him exactly that him doing a reasonably average dance with a few mistakes is going to let them down so much?

Reality, they're not arsed. They probably thought he did great. So quit using them for sympathy.

Also his son is like 18! they're not tiny. They're probably just a bit mortified. Give it a rest Will.

My life goal is now to be flung up in the air and caught by Vito wearing only sweatpants (him not me). I’m sure I can make it happen
 
I really don't like the contempowafts - they're always so formulaic:

- Start by sitting back to back on the floor
- Stand up and lurch your arms to the side, reaching for something invisible
- Slow motion running from the invisible thing
- Roll arms around head to symbolise anguish because you are emoting
- Whether lifted or lifting, make it look like you are fighting inside an invisible duvet cover with your partner
- Roll about a bit like you've got gas
- Do the inevitable double leap like two salmons spawning upstream
- EARNEST FACES
- ARE YOU HAPPY OR FIGHTING OR IN PAIN, NOONE CAN TELL
- Finish back to back with your partner as if the whole thing was a duvet salmon gassy fever dream

I know people won’t agree but I think Matt still has some potential. He’s been given two of the hardest dances in the first 2 weeks, give him a nice waltz or something and see how he gets on with that. I feel like he could be good at classic ballroom after what I saw from him on the christmas special.


I think that was a coincidence tbh. Janette & Aljaz were a couple and were both still on the show.

Also didn't Kai move to strictly to spend more time with Nadiya? I thought they've been together a while

Bare feet.
Woman in wafty nightly, men in open pyjama top.
Hand reach to camera - grab - clench fist - pull hand to chest (watch Brendan VT’s to get this just right) .
Two or 3 wobbly spins.
wipe tear from eye at end surreptitiously and hope Tess notices. If she doesn’t try again a bit more ostentatiously

The Diane one twirling round with arms and legs wide is a favourite.
At some point, the woman will exit a move like a sack of spuds (Or slide along the floor taking out a camera operator).

Ah yes, the spinning gynaecologist. He did kind of spud her over his shoulder to put her down, but you're right, we do need to see somebody slide helplessly face first a la Gemma Collins.

Obvious Disclaimer after last time: We love a botched lift AS LONG AS NOONE GETS HURT 🙄

'Two salmon spawning upstream' I'm crying laughing here 🤣
 
I don’t mind contemporary if it’s done correctly, like Ashley Roberts or even Karim. But when the likes of Saffron Barker attempts it just becomes tragic. Think one of the main issues is 99% of the pros aren’t trained in it, whereas on DWTS US most of the pros are so the routines are always much better.

And I hate the sob stories. 'I'm doing this for my Nan'.

Again I don’t mind if it’s genuine and not continuously brought up. Saffron was constantly bringing up her nan throughout the whole series even though she was alive and well, and was literally in the audience 😂 Ashley dedicated her contemporary dance to her father who passed away just a few months before she went on strictly and didn’t bring it up every other week to try and gain sympathy. If it wasn’t for that dance I would never even have known she lost her father.
