Maybe he could replace Tess in the post dance interviews when he retires from dancing He is no presenter per se, but among friends, as he was tonight, he is relevant and relaxed. A nice combo.



I loved Janette's 'bit', I was engaged (Shame it had to happen outside of the dancing this year, but hopefully her variety of skills will make her a shoe-in for next series...if she wants it, that is).

Don't disagree. I feel that most of the time the pros get the balance right. It's when they are 'forced' to adopt a storyline that is incongurous to the dance that's where no amount of good acting is going to help. Mark's rumba was CREEPY, and you can't do a creepy rumba, except perhaps in a Halloween themed week.

Thanks - I thought it had.

Today's is one of the favorite ITT episode for me. Liked all the parts. Normally don't like James,but he comes across funny in behind the scenes and he did a brilliant job today interviewing the couples and Vicky. I always liked Janette and her session was also very good.

Loved the panel today. I like Jason,good on him for say some truths about the dances(lol about Brendan). Liked the ladies as well.

Janette Manrara was wonderful. She has real warmth and is comfortable in front of camera. Seems like a smart cookie. She must have had some acting or media training she was v good. I think James is improving but still a little wooden when interviewing.

Me too.

just caught up on this - thought jason's impression of brendan was quite funny
