Was listening to a Strictly podcast and the people on it picked up that Giovanni hasn't been into it since his win, but more than that, seems to have taken on an arrogance about him, and that he & Amanda together are an arrogant couple who won't take judges criticism well. Thought that was interesting - they seemed to think that will really hinder Amanda in the latter stages.

Who would want to be partnered with Gio anyway. He just seems to be there to pick up the pay cheque these days. He is far more interested in his own stage shows, trips abroad, tv programmes and shows with Anton, which is obviously taking its toll.
 
Just saw ITT. Fleur seemed more at ease this time. Bobby & Dianne were pretty vapid together, nothing interesting about their interview. On the flip side, Angela & Kai clearly have a good partnership, as do Eddie & Karen, enjoyed both.

Is it wrong that I'm not finding Joanne too unbearable yet? Though I draw the line at Kevin coming in.

I know, I can’t abide Kevin-from-Grimsby.

 
Did a draft on Saturday of the dances but have lost it and besides moved on to ITT! I don't feel the same passion and excitement without Rylan 😭.
Fleur - definitely a bump announcement soon, 2 days of baggy and unflattering outfits (didn't like monday's homage to Scrooge's nightshirt!)
She's more professional than Janette, but she wasn't natural- put it down to nerves and getting into the rhythm

Bobby - lordy he was dull! Nothing to do with being young, showbiz is his world and young celebs have managed to string a sentence or 2
Angela- I'm praying I don't see any frontal leg lifts, no gussets please. My crush on Kai has gone, must be the matching teeth, I like imperfections
Eddie- enjoyable guest, love Karen.

Joanne - I like her, but I still rage at the loooooooonnnnggg choreo corner intro with bonus 💩 music.

Probably the thrill of the chase with Gio. He's conquered the glitterball so has lost interest.

I am going to see Shrek the Musical at a local theatre in a few weeks, I booked the tickets about 18 months ago after my daughter was in a junior production of it.
Fleur made a comment on Mondays ‘It Takes Two’ about Joanne touring in a production and mentioned her being green – I’ve just read the blurb for the show and realised that she is one of the main parts in the show Princess Fiona. 😭😭😭😭

To add insult to injury I have apparently missed out on the glory that is Nigel Harman being in the show too. My timing sucks.

I think it’s the rather obvious botox, and the teeth are too much. If he’d just whitened the darker ones from 2021 it would have been better.
Also shall we mention:

Nigel Harman played Lord Farquart in the original Shrek musical show many years ago. When Richard Blackwood was donkey. Must be more than 10 years ago.

Oh I heard that - on the Keep Dancing podcast? they are quite funny.
I think that is a minority view though - on FB particularly the comments re Amanda and Gio are very positive
 
Nikita seems very confident and excited about Layton's Quickstep in their interview on Lorraine.
They're speeding up the song (just hope it's not some awful remix!) and sounds like they're going for more refined and traditional this week (Layton wanted more flourish-y bits out of hold, Nikita vetoed them) but still going all out with the choreography.

I can't wait, fingers crossed it's epic.

Also, how adorable are they! 🥰

I'm glad Nikita is going for it with choreography, and keeping them in hold more, doesn't need to be out of hold faffing.

Layton isn't my cup of tea, but if anyone is gonna make me like him, it's gonna be Nikita. They are adorable. And Nikita so unashamed to just go for it.
