But as I said in my first post, I wish a little restraint was applied and they got on with the dancing and put courtships on hold until the series finishes. If nothing else it would give them a wonderful christmas present to look forward to and I think it would make for less awkward (thanks Glorfindel) and more enjoyable viewing.”

It's quite a different sort of 'workplace' though, isn't it?
Just you and the other person, alone for hours, day, weeks at a time with lots of physical contact and the need to establish intimacy, connection and trust.
With that in mind, i'm not really surprised that they find it difficult to restrain themselves when they're attracted to their dance partner. In fact, I am surprised that we don't see MORE strictly couplings.
