Yes, I think it's just to see who can get the closest to the time that the spoiler comes out.

Thanks wicks, that was all I could think it was. It just puzzled me that once the spoiler came out, it was never mentioned (ie who 'won' it if it was a little game).

I've never posted there but think that's what it's all about. I've never looked that closely (just scanned for the result) but yes, that's odd that it's not commented on.

There's a poll on the main board about which is the best Charleston, Claudia and AJ's or GG's. A poll that Jay can't win, who'd have thunk it?!

Morning all xxx

Gio looking handsome for ITT tonight😍

Sandy was just thinking myself where is Afton?

Glad you asked that question humpty - I'm a little afraid of asking things as I know I'm 100years behind when it comes to technology. I am a grandmother & know my family get exasperated with me all the time - I have to ask them little biitesize questions!

But here goes for anyone who could help with my silly questions how do get the 'emojis' on to this reply page?
Also writing something in italics or bold? Any help appreciated' thankyou.

I wouldn't pay much attention to polls like that anyway Wicks! - going by some of the stuff you read down there, I'd imagine people are caught up with more negative stuff than the dance itself!

As for the spoiler thing - I've been curious about it for ages! I noticed if I came across it earlier in the day, people seemed really keen to get their 'times' in....yet afterwards I never read anything about it (I thought someone would interject with 'I won! I won!' later on, but maybe they keep their celebrations to themselves)

Maybe it's something to do to pass the time but that everyone forgets about it once the spoiler actually comes in!

When you're typing your reply Kathy, the little emojis are at the right hand side of where you post - just click on them when you want to add them in to your post.

Once you're on the reply page and are typing - If you look up above, there are different icons (in the grey area above) - for bold you click on the bold 'B' button and you'll get a thing that looks like (B) (B) come up - you just make sure that the type you want to be in bold sits between these two signs. The same goes for italics - next to the B button is an I button. You just do the same - make sure that what you want to write in italics is typed in between the two (I) (I) symbols. Hope that makes sense Kathy - its actually a lot easier to do than to describe

I'm not a grandmother, but I often get 'that look' from my teenage daughter when I ask her (what I think) is a really complicated and technical question!

Isn't that absolutely beautiful ?

That is very much the in breed at the moment - which means they are probably being over bred as we speak.

For the last two weekends everybody has been madly out - the first elimination was heavily delayed because there wasn't a DO, it was reported that there was a 30 minute wait while a decision was made as to how they would proceed.
Last Saturday there was not a known mole in the Strictly audience in advance - eventually someone in the audience responded to pleas for info but it took much longer than usual to get the result.
Usually the result comes in at just after 10.30 but for the last two weekends it has been well after 11 pm.
People do actually say if they got the time right - i.e. the time the first confirmed result is posted - it is just a silly game to keep everyone occupied while waiting !
There is no prize - just bragging rights

I have heard from afton - she has been super busy but is keeping up with the thread but is always behind.
She is now off on holiday but will return to us soon !

It makes sense that they record two nights of ITT at once - Does that mean that they also record Wednesday and Thursday on Wednesday ?
That would explain Karen Hardy on Mon/Tues and Ian Waite on Wed/Thurs for example !

Morning all

Does anyone know if Gio has deleted his Instagram page ? I saved it but now it is saying it's not available ! 😱 Anyone else having the same problem ?

Thanks for clearing that important issue up Sandy, I've always wondered
I've never noticed anyone celebrate their win, which is why I was getting confused as to what it was actually about!

I'm able to see his Instagram still

I have read somewhere that Mon and Tues are filmed on Monday but then the rest are live BUT I'm sure I read somewhere last week that someone thought that Thursday's was filmed on Wednesday in the same way (so the only filming days are M/W/Fr) but I'm not sure of that. Apparently you can tell as the announcer says "live from London" on Mondays but not Tuesdays for example! I'll listen out to see what they say on Thursdays.

Thanks Sandy glad Afton is ok😀

Thankyou humpty - haven't put into practice yet' but thankyou!

hello, my favourites are still Danny, Will, Robert, Laura (because of Gio), Louise and Daisy but I like Ore, Greg and Claudia too so, not only is the standard very high for week 3, but there's so many couples whose dances I look forward to ... in prevous series there's only been 2 or 3


one for the calendar


...... nice picture of Gorka .... unfortunately, I've never dreamed of Gio but did have a dream about Brendan last night, probably because I'd been reading an article about him ......and he's my lest favourite pro dancer


that's good, I thought perhaps she'd been on a Gio tanning course

Lola the cat thanks for popping in and I'll look forward to reading any reviews, by the way, my friend has a cat called Lola

Do you think the BBC would do a strictly spin off Called officer Gorka?
It would mainly be just Gorka in his police uniform dancing now and again. Gio can have an appearance too, wearing his paso leathers from last year (Still my favourite Gio look 😍... He's had some duff costumes so far this series)

Or maybe a joint calendar?


Oh my!! 😍😍


Aww fab...so glad she's getting great comments from the audiences
Only 2 weeks till we go to see her Star


Ooh that chicken looks very good to me right now 😍


Ahh he's lovely...almost as lovely as Gorka

That reminds me I found a picture of Maybe mystery man George Alsford with your favourite dog Stewie Sinclair last week Sandy... I don't think I posted it on here. I'll post it later on.


No I can still see it

gorgeous I'm pleased they're on tonight as the Friday show always seems a bit hectic

have just learned that Laura has a dog called Mick, which is named after Mick Jagger, so she's gone up in my estimation

That Gio smile is something else...............................

Popping in briefly. Many thanks for friendly comments yesterday.

Gio Instagram

https://www.instagram.com/pernicegiovann1/

I think he used to be pernicegiovann1official or something close to that? He also has a blue tick on Insta now - is that new?

Thank you - that is a super pic of him !

Always loved him in back leather - his paso outfit was among my faves last season !

Oh that's strange! Do you follow him Delly ?


I have also tried to google to find his Instagram a/c ! What am I doing wrong ! 😱

Silly question I follow his every move I can see it no bother hope he doesn't block it I miss all those lovely photos that used to be on it

Gio is still friends with Georgia's family on both Facebook accounts
