Say it or shut up I’m over it with Amanda and her knob of a boyfriend posting cryptic posts…he’s weird for sure ! I can’t abide cryptic posts either spit it out or move on. I don’t think he did anything bad Gio or he wouldn’t still be there …still think her bloke wasn’t happy and wanted her to leave …
 
Yea she’s battering over the head with nothing. She quit, he’s standing there with a face like a slapped sense on a Saturday night as usual. I don’t see how something so bad could have happened between them and the bbc are still allowing him to be there. I’m no Gio fan fyi.
I would imagine it is something between damage limitation for both parties … one big happy family … and contractual obligations. I would guess if anything is sorted out it will be quietly in the off season and it will most likely be spun as Gio leaving to concentrate on other ventures, unless he goes all Brendan.
 
Finally watching the results show (although I know the result). Hated the opening dance save for Nikita's outfit, Luba and Graz.

How is Shirley surprised Adam is in then dance off? Wasn't he bottom two on the leaderboard 🙄 (I stand corrected he was not. I'm stupid 🤣)

I normally dislike a ringer because it's one level throughout. I feel differently about Layton. I think he's really sweet behind the bravado, his partnership with Nikita is everything and whilst undoubtedly an accomplished performer and dancer, he's not accomplished at ballroom or Latin and it shows. I also love that he dresses however he damn well pleases. Finally the fact that Nikita does not shy away from their dances being sexy. More of this please.

Personally speaking, I love seeing how the celebs improve (or not!) and that’s the best part for me. If someone is so good from the beginning that there’s no room for improvement, then I tend to find that quite boring. It’s just a personal thing and everyone is different.
The thing is Zara is basically just one of those people who have no musicality or dance ability at all. I know they like to play the Never Danced Before card, but by this point they have had 8 weeks of intensive one-on-one training. If you’re just going to stand there with your arms out waiting to be lifted now, then there’s not much hope, really.

No, Adam had a very respectable score.

I agree about Layton, I absolutely love watching him and Nikita.

No, he was actually quite a way off the bottom. Zara was bottom and then there was Krishan, Annabel, Nigel and Bobby between him and the drop.
 
CHUCKLING that Nikita has posted highlights of their tango with actual Olivia Rodrigo music 😂 recon his ears were bleeding as much as ours!

I’ve often wondered if it’s quite hard to go from rehearsing all week to a pop song and then having to dance to a different version. Do they get to rehearse with Dave Arch et al?

I think from what’s been on ITT the pros sit with the man at the computer and work out the music, which gets put on a disc for them to use in training, so theoretically if it has been chopped about and the timing altered they should Be practicing with the correct version … and they get a couple of band runs On the Friday, I think?
 
£75 for a bottle of perfume from a dancer on a (lets be real) saturday night bbc show- not a hollywood celeb, not a big fashion house, not a big parfumerie.
Got to say Gio absolutely knows his target audience and he knows how to rinse them. The amount pre-ordering in the FB groups without a clue what it smells like is crazy.

I think that is because the bbc keep pulling videos of strictly for copyright on insta, even for the pros.

That’s a lot - most celeb perfumes are around £40 - £50. What’s naughty is, he doesn’t appear to offer a tester with it and let you return if it doesn’t suit you, especially if it isn’t available in a store either to try. Most online perfumeries offer this.

Yes but you also get a personal, hand signed card (why do I think anyone preordering has a whole shelf load of those already) and entered into a draw to win tickets to meet him. He’s just a giver.

Yea Zara was the exception there 😬
 
I’m just really nosy and want to know what Gio’s actions were that made Amanda quit. Be interesting to see if he does the Christmas special. All the stuff in the papers about Gio and the new pros etc, the only one I don’t really see him interact with at all is Vito.
I'd say Vito, Carlos, Graziano don't interact with him at all. The only ones who really do are Gorka, Kai, Katya and the odd like from Nikita.

Fleur's Shirley impressison is pretty good!
