It's always struck me as a bit bizarre that they only really ever get one 20-something male per season and only two under 25s in the past 10 seasons (HRVY & Jonnie) so it wouldn't shock me if that was true but I can't see why getting younger men is a lot difficult than younger women. Especially if looking for a career boost. Other versions don't seem to struggle.

I’m sure they would have let Tyler do Strictly next year - why sign up when you know you’re running a marathon and have a family wedding?
The pro tour was so good! A little bit too much Dianne for me but Kai had quite good banter and Neil was funny too. And the dancing was insane!

We’re going to get the Training in an Airport Lounge VT aren't we
i think they’re relying on the fact it’s early doors and there are a clutch of others they could legitimately get rid of before him. If Diane was canny, knowing this was coming up, she’d have been slotting in 2 dance training from the start so he has one in the bank, as it were. Which is probably why he’s got the Charleston this week … it’s less technique focused and more performance based … especially if it’s hidden behind a theme … and they have been gifted a song that means they can faff about with props to pad it out.
Even if he does have a dip next week, he can get he ‘you need to take this seriously, young man’ comments, train unhindered the next week and have a ‘breakthrough’ (because everyone will have forgotten about the jive by then).

Way too much Dianne chat on tour, especially considering the other female pros didn't get that much to say (or that's what it felt like anyway). And think she mistakes shouting into the mic with being good at banter

Yes! I loved the section about Katya, Nadiya and Luba’s mums and think more of that kind of thing and less Dianne would have made for a better show.

Janette seems have calmed down a lot this series. Much more watchable.
And she is looking really well.
Omg Fleur is so into Vito.

janette has absolutely taken a few interview classes over the break - she’s so much better this series and lets the conversation breathe way more. she was a little panicky last series (which is understandable!)

I really thought Jayde was going to be the designated dark horse of the competition before it started. Really can’t take to her. Her training footage seemed really lacklustre. I sometimes think they don’t comment on her honestly for fear of being seen as insensitive

Tony looking smart AF in all his lovely pastel suits on It Takes Two, wish they would let the poor bloke wear a nice suit on the show itself instead of dressing him up as a dustman or whatever. Vicky Gills' outfits this week a bit strange too: can't see that frock working for Ellie T in any way for a cha-cha-cha unless they lop most of the skirt off and attach a bunch of frills.
Had to laugh at Hamzas' pigeon toes in the rumba: my old dancing teacher used to make the boys wear their shoes on the wrong feet to cure them of that.
Tyler looking like he was about to collapse of exhaustion in the training video: on this showing either Dianne is going to have to feed him some illegal stimulants or she's going out Week 4 again.
And I just can't take to Jayde, and I don't know why, it's puzzling me, never seen her on anything before, so it's not like I'm bringing preconceived notions to the party. She just...leaves me very cold, both in personality and dancing style.

Did Janette even mention the double denim? You know if Rylan had been interviewing them, there would have been at least one George Michael quip
The guy choreographing the pro routine also choreographed Gorka and Karen's tour, which was excellent. So I am cautiously optimistic

Janette is too busy trying to get from one link to the next. She has improved since last year but she isn't a natural presenter. I wonder if the pros/celebs are pleased to be on in Rylan's nights or if they don't mind.
I know Fleur loves The Little Mermaid but that song is quite boring IMO for an AS. Meanwhile Will has his AS to Cry to Me from Dirty Dancing which is much better.
