For anyone who missed the 'introducing the new pros' dance. There is.. a lot going on here.

 

[glasgow27]

I think it looks to be a promising set of new pros but the guys were definitely promoted more. Carlos didn't seem to be wasting any time making his mark.

This is like a darker, shitter version of the Havana dance from a few years ago. Once again, Jason Gilkinson is a terrorist.

Carry on...

 

[Fillyjonk]

I don't think Helen Skeleton is going to be as good as people thought.

 

[soccergirl]

And the group dance! once again, a multi-faceted happening. Am transfixed by whatever it is James is doing at 00:50. Kaye's abject terror is quite endearing.

 

[KeriRhys]

I don't think Helen Skeleton is going to be as good as people thought.

No! Shhhh...don't say that! We need our Gorka fix!

Tbh Lauren and Michelle came across as quite blah, but I guess they might have been a bit nervous. Michelle in particular sounded like she was reading a Blind Date script

I do like Vito and Carlos though - I'd written off Vito as a bit bland but he was a goofy delight

 

[Fillyjonk]

No! Shhhh...don't say that! We need our Gorka fix!

I'm more than happy with Vito and Carlos now, actually.

And Hamza

 

[Boring Monday]

Gio and Katya round the back playing rock, paper, scissors (Lizard, Spock) for first out.

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Kevin will be fuming Lauren never got a partner he can’t shoe horn himself into the limelight.

 

[KeriRhys]

Gio and Katya round the back playing rock, paper, scissors (Lizard, Spock) for first out.

Kai's with them too...

 

[glasgow27]

Obviously we won't see her much this year but I hope Lauren will live up to the hype she got from the Gio fans for months on end when we do see her and if she gets a partner at Christmas.

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Kai's with them too...

The Blackpool lights are out in a circle until there’s only one left

More Gorks for me then!

I was actually surprised how bland Lauren and Michelle came across!

I still think Michelle will get a partner in the future as shes young and was probably the Oti replacement. As talented as Lauren is; I see her more of a Luba position; may get a partner in the future but can be rotated on the bench.

They may both get a christmas partner this year though.

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Was there anyone from the Christmas special this year? My memory has failed me.

 

[KeriRhys]

Forgot to add...delighted that creepy Neil is benched!!!
