Cwickham - i was wondering do you know who got the worst score ever in Strictly and for what dance?
Not Cwickham but I think it's still Quentin Wilson for his one and only dance in series 2 - a cha cha cha scoring just 8 points?

Coincidence Harry won and they've got him on the panel tomorrow?

I struggle to remember any of his dances to be honest (other winners that weren't my faves at least had a performance that stood out) and he never found his Latin hips.

Ah well.

I think Kellie and Kevin feel they have a point to prove this week and will end up over-performing even more than usual.

Right now I think both couples have a really good chance to get to the final, but I'd say that Georgia is more likely to get there than Anita (obviously that might change, I'd have said the opposite three weeks ago). Which I'd have thought gives a tremendously good chance of Giovanni coming back. And I get the feeling ITT really like him.

I'd expect all three of the new pros back - particularly I think it's more likely a few of the old guard won't be back.

Giovanni is already good value with his beginner-English. I really hope we see him when he has more command of what he wants to say. He could be a lot of fun. There's a bit of mischief in those eyes
I love the way he speaks he often misses either the beginning on the end of a word. E.G: "This wee we ave Charlesto" also the way he says Georgia is lovely.

I find Giovanni a far better cheogeapher than Gleb. If you compare last weeks dances for example. GG's Samba was all about Georgia he was really just showing her off. Where's Glita's jive looked more like Anita was a prop that Glen could use to show his own moves off.

Hopefully, Giovanni and Oti will be back next year. Gleb I'm not sure, if you look him up his been on a few versions of strictly and only stayed for a year on each one so I wouldn't be surprised if he moved on to another country by next year.

Totally Nadal. Have been saying this for weeks. Though Gleb is way more handsome and better body. And I say it as a huge Nadal fan.

I expected Louis to win. But was happily surprised.

And by the way, first time I was in the Gleb thinks to much of himself club. That move was done in a dance a couple of years ago by Ola and Ashley Taylor Dawson. I think it was their salsa.

Aaah, lovely photo Thanks for sharing!

Yes, it was their salsa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGIWHAwuT5Y

Kudos to Ashley, must be hard for the male to get the precision just right for his own sake
Have seen it called the "wreking ball" move on another thread

I think mastering quick conversations among the group will be a steeper learning curve for Giovanni than the choreography. Obviously hes been all over with his dance competitions, but I suppose he hasn't needed to use English so much and so often (in group situations) and with so many regional accents.

I remember in one of his other interviews on ITT he mentioned more than once that his dance was full of contest (rather than content) but Georgia and Zoe just went with it.

That move was also in Shawn Johnson (gymnast) and Derek Hough's mambo.

I agree. I also think that Georgia is the better dancer out of the 2. I can tell that Giovanni is really teaching her the technique. If these 2 end up in the dance off later in the series, Georgia will advance imo.

No, and I don't think of myself as caring much about the clothes but actually I really missed it.

Re Gleb and the tennis lookalikey thing, I can actually see a bit of Tommy Haas in him (don't see Federer or Nadal though). Probably just me though
Not just you - he reminds me of Tommy Haas too and I don't see Federer or Nadal in him at all.

Now this is just going far too far now!

There is no way my beautiful Aljaz looks remotely like Roger! Aljaz is just far too beautiful!

BTW I am a huge Fed fan, but do not think he is good looking and nowhere near Aljaz.

Can I just say that Gleb should thank his lucky stars that he got Anita as a celebrity for his first time on this show ? She is the kind of contestant that pros dream to have. Very Hardworking, fearless and good attitude about the show. That woman is just fearless . I remember their waltz VT when she asked Gleb how they were going to make their waltz Halloweeny and he said : '" you are going to fly " and she just said , Wow, okay. That's it. Others contestants would have been WHATTTTT ??? Flying ? How ? Why ? Have your lost your mind ? Im not doing that...but no. she just GO FOR IT. Everything tricks that Gleb throws at her, she just does. There is a great deal of trust that these 2 have despite what their chemistry can sometimes appear like.

I didnt know who she was prior to the show but I am definetely a fan now and I look forward to see her opportunities blossom even more after the show. No matter what happens, she is a winner because she gained a lot of people admiration in this show

TENUOUS CONNECTION ALERT

The averages for the six male winners:
1. Harry - 35.63
2. Tom - 34.50
3. Mark - 33.50
4. Louis - 33.46
5. Darren - 31.23
6. Chris - 31.00

If you were to rank all the male celebs from best to worst average, then some truly pointless statistics are that Jason Donovan would be third, ahead of all the male winners save Harry, and Simon Webbe would be tenth. If you include all contestants, male and female, then Darren and Chris are barely in the top fifty.
Nice statistics. I was a fan of Jason Donovan's when he was on but had no idea his average score was that high.

I see Nadal

Another good show tonight, Team GG are just great together I can't wait to see their charleston I think we will see 10,s. Anita and Gleb yes they have a working relationship but it works, I like that he doesn't have a partner who is drooling all over him. Totally loved Tristan and Pasha's chat I could have listened to them all night. Pleased Harry won I never watched when Ramps won.
I loved Pasha and Tristan chatting too. For a 'set up' conversation their interaction was genuine, and entertaining too. I'd like to see the unedited version please ☺.

I can see a bit of Fed in both Aljaz and Gleb (ooer missus). Not too much but a bit.

Mind you, I totally would Fed. I care not that his nose has been constructed in play dough by an unskilled labourer in boxing gloves. His torso is to die for and his eyes make me melt. He's also incredibly articulate and speaks idiomatic English better than 99% of the English.

Back on topic (ish) I also would Aljaz and Gleb. But that's probably more of a given.

Sorry (not sorry) for bringing down the tone of this thread. I have been to the pub.
