Anyone know why one of their dances for the weekend has been swapped?
Cha cha cha instead of Argentine Tango?

G & G Dance swap

Maybe with her being unwell they have abandoned AT because it is more demanding in terms of choreography and lifts?
Maybe, maybe not. Maybe they have been told to change by the producers. It's all speculation at this point.

I knowww, but maybe they were further along with working on the VW.
(I'm really sorry to miss out on their AT and Georgia said on ITT she was really looking forward to the character of it, even if it was difficult)
If the producers wanted her to change they wouldn't have played us the music yesterday on ITT would they? It must have come from team GG surely. They weren't on yesterday either when they should have been so something's up. If Georgia is unwell then perhaps the AT was just too intensive ... given the time constraints.
Hopefully they'll explain things in their interview later in the week.
The Cha Cha is a good dance for them though, their party Latin is strong.

Really good point (assuming the left hand knows what the right is doing...) Oh well, I hope we find out on ITT.

Maybe if she's unwell she can cope with VW as she has done a VW American Smooth?

As I said we don't know why it has been changed, but the fact that the dance Georgia was looking forward the most was the AT strongly indicates that it wasn't purely their decision. However, all we know by now is that she is unwell. The rest is speculation.
She wasn't on ITT yesterday probably because besides being ill, GG are based in Manchester, that is the reason why they're always on ITT on Fridays, it's when they come down to London for the show. So to be travelling up and down the country and waste training time on top of an illness is not a good idea.

Yes, Alli, that's a very sensible suggestion.
Does seem like a bit of a cop out for me, but I'm sure I'll adore both performances regardless!
I hope she gets better soon.

Just as well, come to think of it, that they have not been in the dance off before, as this would have entailed them being interviewed on a Tuesday, or even a Monday if they had been eliminated (please note this is just an observation, not a dig at them).

Monday would have been less of an inconvenience
(to look at the positives)

No, it's not a cop out, Georgia herself said that the dance she wanted to do most was the AT. Gio said he was looking forward to it too, which implies that it wasn't their decision alone. But like I said many times, we don't know anything at this point, it hasn't been explained anywhere.

Sorry, I knew instantly as I posted that, the way it sounded.
I'm just disappointed really. Would have loved to see her doing two new styles, since she has already done a VW based AS. As you say, we don't really have any solid info on what happened.

There have been a few of them who've done the AS before their base ballroom dance. Jay did his AS before his foxtrot didn't he? That just seems so pointless to me as I always think the point of the AS is to add some pizazz to a dance you've already done.
Plus Kellie has an AS doesn't she? So she'll have done the base dance already?

Yes, the AS does seem like it should be later on.
I only really enjoy them when they do an Old Hollywood on a plain ol' foxtrot.
Hope she gets better soon. But as a matter of interest how do we know she is unwell?
Perhaps it is to do with the lifts in an AT, perhaps one or other of them has pulled a ligament or something.

She tweeted it yesterday.
Edit: it was actually this morning
Another suggestion as to why the dance may have changed:
It could be a valid theory.

So glad she's doing the Cha Cha as its my favourite dance. I think she could score high. The Cha Cha is a really underrated dance and would like to see it performed later in tge competition not just in the first 5 weeks. Was hoping she'd miss the VW as she's done a AS one. I wanted to see a AT from Georgia though
I think there was a screw up in the dance designation. G&G were originally given 2 ballroom dances in the semis whereas all other couples had one ballroom and 1 Latin. I suspect G&G were told to change one of their dances for the Cha Cha. As they had already done a VW based AS that was the easiest dance to keep. JMO.

I'm gutted too. But yes, she said the dance she was most looking forward to was the AT and she looked at Giovanni when she said it and he nodded along as if they'd discussed it together. Going by how they were in the rumba and the tango, I think its a dance that would have suited them very well, with the potential to be a stand-out. Regardless of what the reason is, I think both Georgia and Giovanni will be disappointed at having to miss it out.

AT isn't a Ballroom or a Latin dance.
