As much as I like Natalie I find the whole wedding dance feature a big switch off. I sort of get the impression that Natalie's tears of emotion are actually tears of boredom!

Last night the couple involved said (words to the effect) that the wedding is taking second place in everyone's interest to "the dance" - how sad is that!

Out of curiosity, if you switch over when this is on (so you are not watching it), how do you know they are trying to make it more exciting (if you haven't seen it)?

I find it better than some fillers (Julien, horoscopes, etc) and shows ordinary people doing it for the love of it rather than a cheque and career revitalisation/enhancement.

Nobody gives a damn about weddings; three of my cousins' children have relationships and a child each but no sign of nuptials,unlike their parent's generation
.

I liked this filler rather more than some others,I mean,a pooch choosing cut-out couples? jeeezz

What's the point of delving into the intricacies of dances?
Even some (supposed enthusiast) posters here are only interested in watching the male hunk dance.

What I should have said was they pump it up on ITT. So was being disingenuous then. Saying that I did watch about 10 seconds of it last night then had to turn over. Sorry.

Would prefer more training videos.
What name??

The wedding dance thing has been the only time in my time of watching ITT...and that's since the beginning...that I have had to switch over and watch local news whilst it's on. Now that speaks volumes!

And I have a hunch that might mean the marriage is playing third fiddle behind the wedding and the wedding dance. Hope not.

I don't mind the segment - great to see Natalie, and it shows us her teaching method much slowed down.

I'm neutral, since I'm not a fan of weddings on the whole, but I can at least vaguely see the point of the segment. At least, compared with meerkats that predict who's going to be the top scorer/eliminated, or with that segment where they filmed 'average' people like cleaners and policewomen to go to work in an impractical sparkly dress.

Oh dear, yes, that was truly awful. Sometimes, ITT tries too hard with their fillers. I am enjoying a pro couple showing us the basics to different dances, simple but informative and entertaining.

I only tolerated this to see Natalie. The coupe are nice people, as mentioned, but watching them does nothing for me.

But I understand that the show needs fillers since they're a few couples left and I always wanted to know what it would be like to learn from a pro (on the show ) ...but yet I still find that segment incredibly boring ”

This. They're nice and it's good for them, but I find it so boring.
Actually they've probably got enough to worry about and plan without worrying to remember some dance routine (particularly if any alcoholic beverages have been taken by then!)

There are regularly people moaning that they should have 'ordinary' people on SCD. They have two 'ordinary' people on ITT and others (perhaps the same?) moan! They can't win.

Although I did watch it I got the same impression from the first few seconds of that feature and I was very tempted to switch over too, the only saving grace for me was the eternal Anton hug lol.

A bursting at the front seams was a real possibility there, you could tell that it wasn't far away by the smile on her face lol
