Thought their dance was a lot better than last week and deserved the good marks. I think his kissing her is maybe just what he does because he will have been brought up with that culture although gorka is Spanish and I don't see him kissing tameka. I think she is more over him than the other way I feel he knows that he will be under scrutiny.

I quite agree, one stunning lady ! A natural beauty too ! 😀

I would have given the dance a 7 because it was way better then Claudia's but not as good as either Louise or Danny.

Laura could be a decent ballroom dancer.

Edit The judges are way more generous with their marking this year. I would say that Georgia's waltz last year was about as good as Claudia's but that was marked way higher.

I think naga and Melvin could be in the dance off.

I gave 2 votes to Tameka and Gorka and one for Melvin. I phone voted for GG last year but can't see me doing that this season.

Gio seemed to have the most fun when he was dancing with Tameka at the end. He seemed to really let himself go and was the fun Gio from last year for those moments.

Very much agree, how Danny and Louise got the same score as ;Lavanni' is a mystery.

Right on cue the Giant Panda has finally woken up and is kissing her baby :

Hope we don't have to wait too long for the result tonight !

I really love danny Mac and him and oti were great! Loved tameka and gorka too! This competition is going to be so tough!!

I won't have the stress I had last year though because I won't have the one clear favourite! I really do like about 6 or 7 of the couples!

I do think Laura and Gio stepped it up a gear this week, it was such a lovely routine- but we know Gio is amazing at choreography anyways!

The chemistry was definitely there more than last week- I just think they are developing a good friendship - as they should be!

I'm heading out for some cocktails finally! So have a great evening everyone 😍

Well done Claire
.


I thought Gio and Laura were much better this week and you can tell they have bonded more. Laura seemed very emotional during the show and not her usual bubbly self for some reason, but the dancing was lovely.

Sandy About Louises' dresses I read somewhere that she said she was very picky with her outfits because of her age and out of respect to her husband, she wanted modesty. This is fine but I still don't understand why her outfits appear to be about five sizes too big for her

I see Gorka was wearing the outfit the pro men wore on the tour so I think there is definitely some cost cutting going on in the costume department. The outfits are not the usual quality. Jake the backing dancer last year has tweeted this:-

I have been wondering that for a while Jo was very happy to be seen out and about with GG.although she trains in Manchester done know whu no tweets ets. Didn't Georgia post on of her quote ad say something about being like all the rest. I wonder of that reffered to Jo.jusy a thought

Christopher: Where were the Heel leads with Laura......the very thing Len Goodman picked on Georgia for last year?? Watch again!!.....I will after I watch XFactor Judges houses!!

I now will have to look through recordings, but did particularly notice these two - Len, judge fairly if your so keen on your heel leads!

Look forward to receiving spoiler now from Twitter - not really sure who will go......

....no voting in Southern Ireland though, but I think L & G are probably safe.....

they didn't get my votes though!!

Bring in new judges for sure.....Arlene & Karen Hardy for sure!!

Disappointed in Brendan, once again, he has something to blame.....Anastacia should have been with Giovanni .....he would have brought out the very best in her for sure!!!

Georgia has liked a few of her pictures on Instagram but can't remember the last one jo liked of Georgia don't think any since she has started BAT which is strange if they are friends.

I know a lot of people like her on here but I have never been that keen on her or any of the cliftons. I think Kevin is the best!

Jammy: Snap....mine too, he really enjoyed that at the end!!! Too much also Gio looking at camera and placing his arm around Laura, BUT having said that I could see she was very nervous and it was ballroom so forgiven....I think!?! (even though I did turn away a few times)!!! Gio's suit looked cheap & nasty - what's happened to wardrobe these days!?!

Well I have to say I would never have quessed that was Giovanni ! Didn't recognise him at all ! 😱

Penny, Pam I hope Jo is contacting Georgia in private. If not then I'd feel a bit disappointed in her. Georgia has always been really welcoming to her and included her in dinner and film dates with Gio. Whereas Janette and Aljaz have been lovely going out with both Gio and Georgia separately.

Pam B: Definitely something amiss between Jo & Georgia....but I will say no more, before I get pounced upon!!!!

As for Aljaz lift - look again Judges????? what are this lot paid for????

Where is Bendymixer????? if your reading, your thoughts please, your the expert after all, would love to hear what you thought????

Well said Jammy: Georgia was more than generous & kind to Jo ......also I;m disappointed in Kevin & Karen, Georgia entertained these two as well, and as Karen was always posting as to what a great cook she was, I never saw GG being entertained by them.........unless privately of course but with all their selfies these days, I don't think this ever happened TBH.

I'm sure if Jo had gone to see Georgia in BatT she would have tweeted, but forgive me if she has been in Manchester training and not had the opportunity to go (AS YET)....??

Sorry Patti I'm no real expect, just stuff I've picked up watching the show. Like I knew that they would go mention Greg's bottom sticking out.

Christopher : LoL here!!! I;m no expert either, but just don't understand the judges on times either!! Off now to catch XFactor on record.

Is anyone posting Spoiler here please?? I have it coming to me via twitter, but no idea how to do spoiler on here!?!

.....May the best couple shine through!!!

Now that's definitely like him ! Very nice 😘

Never understand the judging, according to 3 of the Judges no one was worse then a 6. That is wrong on all levels. I love Ed Balls but objectively you can't give that dance more then a 5 even if it was entertaining.

Good evening everyone, I hope you're all well.
I'm playing catch up again from page 403 but looking forward to hearing from you all.

You know Loriiii that very thought just crossed my mind but then I thought oh know i'm not even going there.

No Jo could have gone to see BAT with Janette in MK but she didn't. She put lots of pictures of herself, her boyfriend, Ore and his wife at the London premiere of 'Girl on a Train' on social media, which was the night before. Georgia went to Jo's premiere. Some people sadly have short memories

I don't think we are allowed to post the result in here patti even in a spoiler - just go to the spoiler thread on the main frame.

Sandy: I have someone on twitter DM ing me.....but I thought I saw spoiler on here last year??? or was it somewhere else - can't remember!
