same as lets dance Germany, good of the BBC to take onboard that idea


judges, backstage crew also are isolated from outside world yes


so no contacts with family, friends (only via skype once if ur longer than 3 weeks in competition for example)

or during the liveshow Vicky Swarovski there at lets dance Germany shows live feed from family on skype, to say few words after a performance

instead of audience, the couples sit on benches to kinda lighten up the room a bit, and each couple clapping for each other which is also kinda cute

and rest of seats filled with pictures of fans (who can send in pictures of themselves) and Lucky ones each week win tickets for live tour that is how it also goes down at german version currently
