Isih it could be but Jay must have had a haircut and a really good shave I think.

The woman doesn't look like Aliona to me though.

Just looked with the magnifier - didn't help a bit! The hair and beard (or lack of) isn't necessarily a problem, he could be practising for BIG

The woman could be anyone,

But not sure about Jay and the tracky bottoms? There is another clip with, I think, that same chap rehearsing without a partner - hmmm

Basically, dunno

A sneaky retweet of this for publicity wouldn't go amiss
I've asked when Jay gets fitted for his checked shirt

nice one!

I presume the BBC will start to drip feed the names of the celebrities for SCD 2016 very soon, so there should be a buzz about Strictly.
We can leverage that buzz by using the hashtags #SCD and #Strictly if possible when tweeting or retweeting to bring Keep Dancing to the attention of general Strictly fans

The woman looks like Anya Garnis. She is quite tiny so her partner would look taller

Like the way you're thinking there DD

Been grafting at work all day so no chance to say "Great job" to all you peeps who stuck it out to the end, last night. Would echo everyone else's sentiments - the craic was great fun, as was the voting (in a slightly masochistic way)

DD - maybe the Winnie the Pooh parody will come in my submission later in the week to Miss Lola's dance school

On the subject of KD rehearsals - has anyone seen anything to suggest Jay is back from the States yet? I wondered if he would stay and meet Max (who got back over there yesterday) before he returned ..

Can I just say I am quite at a loss at the moment.

I have nothing to vote for, my finger keeps trying to vote on the poll and it is feeling bereft at the lack of something to do.
But I have to agree with Lola and Isih (and probably many more) I finished the night poking the poor chap in the face losing valuable votes.

Oh well I'll just have to rest and wait for SCD😂

Creeping in to apologise for not voting most of Saturday and Sunday as I think I busted my Broadband voting Friday Night/Saturday early morning. So spent the weekend in a strop - all over a silly RT poll. Must have regressed to toddlerhood!!
Up and running today so as a penance decided to watch the Strictly prom. So glad I did.
Reminded me how vastly superior Aliona is. Also couldn't stop giggling at the bloodless Paso. It really didn't suit Kevin bless him. In fact it all seemed lacking in feeling for the music and gurning instead of real emotion. Still the orchestra was worth listening to so not a complete waste of time.

Hugs to all who need or want them.

Voting finger is back to normal now and I've been catching up on chores abandoned yesterday, but it wasn't a "lost day" and I consider our efforts 100% worthwhile.

Most of the professionals rehearsing today:

Sorry your journey home got a bit messed up but glad you got to join in with the fun last night

No not me - haven't seen The 100 - I think Rosa may have mentioned it

BIB1 Indeed it was
BIB2 I am guessing he has one of those type roles - he did say something about being involved..didnt he?

BIB Wow - impressive!

Well done to all the mathematicians among us ..cant claim it as one of my talents tho

I don't think it is Jay and Aliona - got the impression (could be very wrong) that jay and Aliona are doing four of their own dances but not part of group dances

Saw it earlier when you tweeted it - thanks Speedy - it was nice of one of Aidans fans to take the time to tweet us
I think fair to say we knew yesterday and probably earlier that we could not catch up so it was just a case of setting a challenge to ourselves not to lost percentage vote and to reach a vote target. It was great fun and knowing everyone of us was trying to get that number and % up at the same time somewhere else in the world.
Jay and Aliona what have you done to us?

Loved your witty tweet question to Keep Dancing earlier

Had a look on full screen & I don't think the guys profile is J's. Here is Korkys lovely example from last night as a comparison. (Thanks for this BTW Korky safely saved as Dreaming McHandsome)

Tweet from Robin re Keep Dancing

So that's 3 routines in less weeks. Lisa is going well. You go girl!!!

Jay should be able to rehearse his dances in a shorter period of time.

ETA Fantastic Muscle Memory 😂😂

Re BIB especially as he learnt them from scratch in 4-5 days. Hopefully his memory for dance moves is better than his self confessed one for song lyrics

ETA had nice cold sausages for tea Hannah

Ooh jelus now. BIG time. (See what I did there-- keeping it relevant.😂..)

My tea. ..Mmmmmm. ....potato dippers for which I needed mayonnaise.
Where was the mayo......himself had put it in the FREEZER!! Rock solid. Would rather have had the sausages.

It's pouring down here but I'm sitting here with a mug a hot chocolate watching some Jay and Aliona, then Aliona separately because I'm just obsessed I know not healthy, and then some Jay in TW days.. Mmmhh life doesn't get any better. What you guys doing? 😅😀

Perhaps resting after a flurry of voting. Great fun weekend had by all.
Especially yesterday when we had the number of votes to aim for.

You're not alone BB. I didn't know those contestants either.

It doesn't look as though the final poll has started yet. Probably because they're still trying to work out how to make it appear like an exciting and close contest!


That was a lovely tweet you showed us from the Aidan Turner fan, speedy. And yes, ours was the true final.

The comments under the RT site under the other poll are just horrible.

I miss the voting.

I want to vote for something.......


Nice and subtle from Brendan : Top removed and acid yellow trainers!

Edit: feels strange to see a photo of the "Strictly Pros" with so many people I don't recognise. And with one in particular missing....



Tsuntsu bird, someone on here posted a brilliant review of the proms a couple of days ago. I think it was either Lola or Cat09, but I could be wrong. Anyway, it was great so hopefully you will get to read it.

Catching up with what I've missed on here, and triple posting!

Feeding moggies their fourth meal and trying to string a headful of loose words and phrases together but nothing's happening.

I have a daily dose of J too, usually the slow romantic dances. 💕

LOL my own post has made me laugh, *with a mug a hot chocolate* I hate proof reading it really gets on my nerves when autocorrect kicks in 😃😂 Hope you guys don't mind, and it's so lovely hearing about what everyone else is doing on a cold damp night I usually love this weather call me what you want

Virtual high five, Aliona was the best pro that strictly had to think that they were getting rid of her because she supposedly said some things that made her unhappy.. If only Aliona was dancing in that prom I would have ran out of the door and never look back, when I watch her dance it's like she's floating in the air each transition so perfectly timed and 0 gurning, and that's only through bleedin YouTube lol, I actually saw the paso Kevin and Karen did it was awful sorry it was all abit huffy and puffy now I know a paso is a bit huffy and puffy but they were like uncontrollable kids who have had too much caffeine actually they all looked like they had one too many
