I didn't hear that but she did stay in character for what felt like a while after her dance, I was like eh where's her lovely smile.

I'm pretty sure he said 'stay' just the one word, assume to hold the intensity

Gotta love the "I liked it" from Jay at the end of his salsa.

thankyou, i did think it was a communication. a command, even!

Tristan winking at Helen (and possibly Aljaz) when they were the last two.

Tristan whispering intenty in Jamelia's ear in their goodbye dance to persuade her to dance on her own

Aljaz looking concerned when either he'd be at risk of going out or Janette would.

It's not something being said, but Jo (I think her name is) in the Clauditariam leaning over the balcony at very end of Georgia and Giovannis dance gave the best 'awww' face and pose ever.

Also Glebs already mentioned 'Stay!' command to Anita to stay in character was awesome. She obeyed too and kept up the Paso face on the walk to the judges..

HOT

I loved it as well; You can tell that he really enjoyed dancing it

Yeah- I love Anita, but I found that really cringey. I can just about accept the pro's doing it, but when the celebs do it, I have to look away. *shudders*

I love their dance partnership but those two out of all the couples really make me cringe (PA makes me cringe too, but just for being PA). I can't stand it when they are 'in character' for the bit where they are introduced as dancing next, before their VTs. They did it for their Paso and when they did their Ghost routine too - looking all intense into each other's eyes while the other couples just smile and wave at the camera.

I feel like saying, 'Oh for Gawd's sake, stop taking yourselves so seriously'

Tristan's face when they went back through their journey!

Was Zoe going to let go of Jay when he gave her the birthday cake?

Natalie Lowe often puts her hand on the celebs shoulder when they are waiting for the scores .

Claudia's so subtle reaction to Peter saying he didn't want to end up in the DO with Jamelia.

It's a performance, they are in character for that performance...

Nothing about "taking themselves seriously" it's an act - entertainment. I've noticed most love it.

I thought they stayed in character too long- Anita has a lovely smile and her face was quite severe when in character - just IMO

It was like Gleb was saying hold that orgasm.

Yes and why not - it was a fab dance - great to see him happy after a tough werk

Quite apart from Glebs obvious charms I think that he's on a par with Tristran with his extremely dry sense of humour, irony and subtle wind ups.

In an interview with Giovanni, Georgia and Anita I notice the things he said in the background.

When Giovanni had sung a little (badly) he piped up the command 'Sing Giovanni!' as if to say, do it properly and stop showing yourself up to these English idiots.

When Anita gabbles that she's going 'out with the boys' tonight and then belatedly adds 'Oh, and Georgia'. Gleb murmurs 'I would like to take Georgia out' in the background.

And his dismissive 'I have no clue what scampi (or indeed the other English crap he implies) is' to the inane 'Haddock or Scampi?' question was sublime.

Not exactly in the background but I thought that Jay complimenting Tess ( " you look beautiful " ) when he and Aliona were waiting for the judges comments was lovely

I may be in minority but I love Gleb and Anita's antics before their Vts packages .
I now always look forward to them .

Another thing I noticed : Anita got by far the loudest audience reaction of the evening after her dance. Jay was a close second .

Me too! I love it. The bit before their waltz was the best one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8LBRDAyj5c

She got a loud reaction-everything came together - she got the dress and colour she requested (ITT - Vicky), great dance for Blackpool, music and bare chested Gleb. .. To cap it all 😜

Kevin and Aljaz swapping partners for the 'keeeep dancing' bit.

Jay pretending to scratch Tristan's chin as he was waiting for his own scores and right at the beginning of the show as they were all reading the t&c he was poking Oti in her dimples and making her laugh.

Gio yelling 'stay' at Georgia at the end of their paso in homage to Gleb 😂

I am liking him more and more each week . He is hilarious and doesnt seem to take himself too seriously, I love that.
