I thought that was quite awkward actually - Aliona tried to ignore the innuendo and answer sensibly, then it looked as if Zoe and Jay were going nudge,nudge off camera and Aliona then said "Oh, you're having a joke", or something like that, ad looked a bit fed up.

I enjoyed the episode (apart from Peter) but I think something's changed between Aliona and Jay. Probably a good thing.

Too much gbbo will do that to a nation.

It was my favorite episode so far I think ; you can tell that both of these couples have a great working relationship Anita's frustration about missing her step and Gleb's reaction was so funny

And I'm going to stay mum on the rumours.

I think Aliona seemed a bit guarded today... she's probably fed up of the press speculation so trying not to gush over Jay too much in an interview situation.

I expect it to be a kind of old fashioned salsa, standing there trying to disentangle their arms, not enough hips.

Early days though. Helen looked shockingly bad but as Ian said it'll be lovely by Saturday.
Not really liking the thought of an Anton salsa though 😁 He will draw the eye for all the wrong reasons

Seemed to me that Aliona was the same as she has been on ITT, but Jay is getting more and more comfortable and coming out of his shell, so their interaction will change slightly.

I can already see the chest hair peaking out of his shirt, and his hair flapping about haphazardly from half way through. Lord only knows what the lifts will be like!

Biggins missed his chance to become my hero. If he lost Peter, reversed, and ran him over. Twice.

Yeah they were interacting with eachother the same I thought. I didn't sense any distance or awkwardness. They've never been touchy feely on ITT anyway, it's only after their dancing, when they're excited and especially on Saturday when they were both clearly devastated.

I don't like Alan Carr but I'd still watch Strictly even he were to take part, just fast forward when he was on


he doesn't have that effect on me at all, Giovanni on the other hand ......


that comment made me smile I can't believe I'm posting about Jay's hair on a public forum but I did prefer it longer


yes, he does look quite a bit younger than 25, I met Aliona some years ago and she was very nice, have always liked her as a dancer and choreographer

Gleb loves himself far too much for me to like him. Sorry no can do.

Jay though..... sigh. Just the absolute best. The paso looked good for Tuesday.

Paso looked very good for just Tuesday!

Kellie looks really good too. I would cry if anybody beats Jays Jive score but we know her and Kevin are very good at the side by side bits.

Darling is on a roll. First Ola, now Anton. Is he now a grey eminence of Strictly? But I must say I agree with him about Anton. His Latin will cost Katie.

Brilliant!

I can see the judges doing something like to stir things up but everyone will know Jay was robbed with the jive score and it might even cause a little backlash for TweeFwog and Tits&Ass.

Who really cares about the daily mail views anyway? Tellymix are more accurate.

That clip of Anita and Gleb was brilliant. Both their reactions were equally natural and funny.

Who and who?

K and K?

I laughed when Zoe said Anita needed something more dramatic than paper cups to throw

I really don't get this talk of Gleb loves himself too much ...I mean people fawn over him a lot .... What can he do He used to look a bit embarrassed by all of it (imo ) but I think that now that he is more settled in, he has found a way to deal with all the attention over his looks quite well . He just laugh it off or play it up...nothing wrong with that .

The man is Gorgeous and he seems like a very nice guy/teacher and choreographer.

Out of all the newbies, I think that he is the one who is certain to be back. He already made a mark on the show. Tonight was my favorite interview so far with him and Anita; you can tell that they just get along so well and I loved his reaction at Anita's frustration ; so genuine, he couldnt stop laughing

Tonight was the first time really that I saw a real partnership/friendship between Anita and Gleb, rather than just a professional relationship. They seem to have finally relaxed/settled and it was a great interview. As was Jay and Aliona's.

BIB Exactly. I felt the same way as well .

I am really , really hoping that they make the finale this year.

On the other side of the coin I think ola will leave SCD.
