i so want my Swanny to make it to blackpool, him & Oti just put a smile on my face each week, and now it seems he is upping his game yet again, with complicated armography and good salsa basics :thumbs:

Oti is the perfect partner for him I think

Lauren's dress looks beautiful, just saw a sketch of that on ITT last night

pink, lilac colours, i think she could look like a lovely cute princess


her training looked alright for monday's rehearsal, of course Ian had some things to say, but he said things about each of the couples (shame he gets to see the early day rehearsal clips)

her strong core should help with the shaping for the VW, the song is also good for a graceful stunning viennese waltz, i am again open for some surprises here


Kate looked far from graceful, more wooden again in training :omgno:

Ian said that Joe training looked fantastic. Wow, that's such w compliment coming from him. I hope Joe does q brilliant samba, to shut up those who say he can't do it.
Good luck to Lauren and AJ as well.

Ian only mentioned head placement minor detail issues with Lauren, but this was monday's rehearsal footage, so they were probably just going through the routine

he was right to point that fleckrl cause that already looks quite good

Yes, most if them struggle early in the week. But then they get better, as they practice more.

I hope Joe and Diane aren't overdoing things. They're training everyday from 9 am to 10 pm :eek:

that's a lot of training hours, i hope they aren't exhausted tomorrow night then :(


Lauren's training schedule now is monday to thursday 7.5 or 8 hours of training, then heading to the gym, and on Friday they have a more relaxed day with dress rehearsals, just going through the routine, trying to remember all of the correct steps, head placements, shapings

They're young, I'm sure they will be fine. :laugh:They just need a good night sleep. Stacey and Kevin train similar hours, i believe.

i think Danny could be a possible candidate for the dance off, after this ''bullying Amy'' thing in the media

I hope it's not true. Poor Amy.

she had a more fun Chemistry with Brian last year


love that he's in the panel tonight :flutter:

voting for Danny, victim of a hate campaign by the ugly rag The S*n

It's not like he has a job.

well digitalspy confirmed they had an argument after last week's show, so something did happen, and Danny more comes over for me now as a bit too arrogant if he didn't think being bottom was deserved (after those mistakes in the quickstep)

He does, he's a vlogger.

I will be voting like mad for Joe and Diane. In case they don't make it, my support will go to Stacey, who is my second favourite.

Yes but he can do that as he danced too. It's not like he's a newsreader or doctor.

Yes, but not as much now. Because they need to train as much as they can.

Joe's samba training clip, he looked good :love: Lauren also looked good in training for the viennese waltz

also liked the bit of Gethin with Lauren, AJ, Faye & Giovanni :flutter:

based on training footage i'd say

1. Ashley
2. Faye
3. Stacey
4. Lauren
5. Joe
6. Charles
7. Danny
8. Kate
9. Graeme

:think:

i think if some people vote for Charles he could still end up in the dance off, he just lacks a solid fanbase, and karen isn't that popular either so the pressure is on him now to deliver a good charleston

a good dance i can see him surviving another dance off, otherwise with a weak dance he is a goner

Anyone could go at this stage. I would love to see, Joe in Blackpool. But it just comes down to who gets the most votes. Simple as that.

Yeah, i thought Joe looked good in training. I just hope he doesn't get nervous. There's so much at stake tonight. He just needs to concentrate, he can do this.

Good luck to all the couples. I know they've all works very hard this week.
And no matter what happens, I'm always proud of what Joe and Diane have achieved.
