did he injure his back during the lindy hoppathon rehearsal? :think: since their dance is a waltz, and i don't see how you can injure your back with that

They had American smooth originally, that has lifts.

Most of Grahame quickstep is going to be out of hold, isn't it? :facepalm:

i'm looking forward to

Lauren & AJ's salsa, training looked surprisingly great, and it has been a really good week for them, great to see in positive spirits after last weeks harsh undeserving low scores

Stacey & Kevin's Paso, training on last nights ITT looked amazing, better than early days i am pleased about that



my bottom2 prediction based on training footage/outfits etc: Charles & Karen (going to be dressed in the ugliest green colour suit and dress they can find, green for a tango isn't a great colour tbh) vs Graeme & Oti (he just is the weakest dancer remaining, his quickstep footage looked a bit pedestrian, a bit clumsy in the charleston section)


but i think this week will be the first week that ash & pash, Faye & gio's fanbases will be challenged, Robbie Savage wants a shock dance off between ashley & faye he said on it takes two last night, i agree i have more with the journey contestants rather than the ringers as well

Good luck to all the couples. Voting for Joe. In case he doesn't make the final, then it's Stacey and Kevin.

Lauren to go this week

based on training footage this week, Lauren doesn't need to go


it's Graeme who just looks the weakest, pedestrian in quickstep movement and a bit clumsy with his charleston bits

i am so excited for tonight, having my scoresheet ready, i will have some candy and lemonade as my snack and drink for tonight :dance:

Joe's basketball theme is also in the music video for jump around, so yep a very improvised choreo here :laugh:

at least Lauren won't go for that music video theme of flirting in a night club, but more at a pool party, which does suit a salsa i think :flutter:

:umm2: how are streetdance and basketball connected with each other anyway


and Greg James hyping the dance up, that the audience must pump the air during Joe's streetdance performance :o

The dance is not improvised. They have choreographers, who worked on the dance.

If they don't mess up, this dance could be a crowd pleaser.

ok, the basketball theme makes me more think of a performance to Space Jam which is a cool movie with Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan :hee:

honestly, training has gone so well this week for Lauren and AJ, such a happy, playful vibe coming from their salsa rehearsals, bring that fun onto the dancefloor tonight and give everything you got

hot hot hot

Joe channelling RileyH with that top knot?

Faye deserves a 40

Craig is an ugly ****

Yasss 40 pls

Joe slayed again

That was awful

Shirl the Whirl loved it :laugh:

*pretends to be shocked*

I too didn't like that.

Craig needs to be sacked twat
