Yes, me too. Surprised by a little ocular leakage - he looked gutted when he was told he was in the dance-off. Knew he was going
There was an interview with Ed in the Guardian where he described how he and Rob has worked out the algorithms involved in the voting and knew that he was a goner so I suspect that Rob knew full well he was out tonight going by the judges scores alone. I would have kept in Rob over Ore as his joy of learning to dance was so infectious and that is what will now be missing from the rest of the series, just sheer joy and exuberance, Cloudier is going to have to step up and fully provide it now. Tbh the only one I really don't want to win is Louise and it's nothing to do with Kevin, I just feel as though she is going through the motions, when she is dancing it looks as though part of her brain is compiling a shopping list or a list of things to remind the cleaner to do "can you dust behind the shoe rack this week".

And I'm still talking, just changing subjects now...so Big, do you think an announcement will be made soon about the West End because London Box Office website says booking from 1 March to 30 Sept 2017.

Part of the blurb says;

The Wanted singer and Strictly Come Dancing champion Jay McGuinness stars as Josh in the London production, following stints at the Theatre Royal Plymouth and the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin.

Lets hope so Lola - it would be great to see an announcement re Big in the West End before 2016 ends....a little bit of good news to end a pretty tough year

I'm just pleased that he wasn't in a dance-off as he would have been summarily ousted!

Thanks for the interview info for tomorrow.

Those compilations remind me just how much talent there was on Tour last year. Jay, Georgia, Helen, Anita and Frankie all brilliant. Jake was fun but could have done without Ainslee. I wonder if they'll be able together something as good this year.

Can anyone remember who came second on the night Anita couldn't compete?

Looks like quite a hefty volume he's chosen to read!

I think it could well be a biography of Ayn Rand. I recall, on studying a photo of him with a book, that he was reading one of her novels when he was doing the tour in Jan/Feb.

He was in Denmark Street, London, today. 🔍

Somebody, and I can't remember who, wanted a full length J & A rumba a few days ago. Someone called Marja, has posted this on YT

https://youtu.be/UC1uzX5mvcU

She has also posted a slightly longer version of the tango than the BBC clip so you get the bit at the beginning where he holds out his hand to Ali

https://youtu.be/ljHBil2ViJw
Thank you so much Lola for finding these! (and to Marja too, just in case you are lurking)

Also thanks to everyone else that tried to help out . It's been hectic few days with family visiting and I've barely had time to skim through the thread, let alone reply

So my fellow Jayagents and Jaystalkers

Can someone summarise what we think Jay has done today?

When was Paul's photo taken? Do we know who they all are?

Paul's photo was taken yesterday - there was a pic tweeted from
Someone else which I did post a link to but then deleted. The original photo was in a pub, which I think was by Wandsworth bridge.

Today several ofhe Big cast have tweeted that they were on their way to Dublin so I reckon that's where Jay is.

Read me like a fine book
Decipher my words and phrases
Read between my lines
Let me absorb your gazes

Open me up to your eyes
Slowly turn my white pages
Unravel the mysteries within
Comprehend my story in stages

Jay is reading a book called "The Great Hunt: Book 2 of the Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan.

The Forsaken are loose, the Horn of Valere has been found and the Dead are rising from their dreamless sleep. The Prophecies are being fulfilled - but Rand al'Thor, the shepherd the Aes Sedai have proclaimed as the Dragon Reborn, desperately seeks to escape his destiny.

Rand cannot run for ever. With every passing day the Dark One grows in strength and strives to shatter his ancient prison, to break the Wheel, to bring an end to Time and sunder the weave of the Pattern.

And the Pattern demands the Dragon.


Do I properly qualify as a Secret Jaygent?

Oh, you are very good! Well done Lola. Badge awarded.🕵

Apparently the photo posted by Paul is of a group of ex MADD students.

I don't! Several words in his book seemed to apply but they were red herrings.

The shops behind J gave his location away. I am sure of that!
