Why don't you believe that she cried?

As a self-confessed sob-monster, it would be easy for me to say that I don't understand why other people remain so dry-eyed from series to series (fact is, I understand that we're all different).

I could also say that I don't believe them when they say that they didn't cry (does it matter? If they didn't cry, they didn't cry - we're all different. If they did cry, but don't want to say so in public, that's their prerogative).

As a self-confessed sob-monster, I know that there have been stages in my life when I've had "Important things to cry about". Those are the times when I'm much more likely to cry about other things too.

Sometimes I've managed to 'stay strong' for the important things but cried over the other things.

As life moves on, the "important things to cry about" aren't so immediate, but they remain part of me and part of my memories. Sometimes I cry because something triggers one or more of those memories.

Sometimes I cry because I find something beautiful, and/or it moves me - even when no memories are involved.

Some people cry, some people don't.

Sometimes 'I cried' means "I got a bit teary-eyed" maybe "a few tears spilled over".

Sometimes it means "I sobbed until my chest and stomach hurt, I could barely breathe and hardly see".

I cried at Ore and Joanne's dance. I could still breathe quite easily.

Maybe Zoe was the same.

Yes, thought they both came over well and I believe one of the reasons she got so emotional in the DO was because her mother was in the audience and she didn't want to leave the show with her mother watching .

When I become famous and appear on Strictly they'll have to prise me off Aljaž's lap, so that's sewn up the glitterball for us already. Can't argue with science.

Absolutely hypnotic dancing!
But the sofa is largely stage managed by the BBC who encourage the couples to sit much more closely than is natural for a lot of people, so I don't think a lot can be taken from that - although some couples clearly cannot manage the closeness desired, and thus have stood out quite clearly!

By that point I will also be famous, so Aljaz's lap will already be occupied.

I wonder if Will will turn up to be interviewed on ITT. Most 'walkers' on reality shows do interviews on the affiliate show, if he doesn't then don't blame the public for speculating on his reasons for leaving.

It Takes Two has a history of glossing over or ignoring any contentious issues so not expecting anything more than a bland statement about Wills departure.

Tonight on ITT Danny & Oti, Ed & Katya and Ian Waite

They haven't mentioned Wills departure in the trailer for tonights show.

Evening all, i wonder will Zoe make mention of Wills departure. It would be strange if she said nothing!

Good evening everyone, I wonder whether they will mention Will's unfortunate departure.

I am looking forward to seeing the training in Ian Waite's bit.

I think he will but not this week, maybe towards the end of the run

Evening

Looking forward to training clips too.

Evening

Hello all

Sad news about Will

Ooooh they mentioned it.

Glad Zoe is explaining things.

Lovin' the Ed.

Ah they've taken Greg and Natalie out of tonights show, presumably because of Will's exit.

Less than 10 seconds - that's Will done, then

Danny looks more like a politician than Ed in that outfit.

Shame Will has left and I feel for Karen

Glad there'll be an elimination as normal.

Lesley training out in Malta?!

Great gig for Anton rehearsing in Malta.
