I was hoping the comments about AJ/Claudia would jog his memory as the judges commented about the speed and loss of technique. If Georgia hadn't made that mistake with the arm I'm sure they would have got 10's.

Would love Georgia to do a Christmas Special but who to dance with! I know who I would love her to dance with again 😝
Would be great if she could do a Christmas special one day 😀

I know what you mean about comparing other couples dances with GG's I just can't help myself

I can't see it happening! Boo!!! But I can see her with Gorka for corka! Something totally Xfactor related but Jake Leigh was just dancing with Honey G. Obviously not got the Strictly gig this year.

You know what I'm a little confused as to the lack of support on here for Louise and kevin! I really like them and she is really good but there doesn't seem to be much support on here!

Haven't watched all the show yet but hope Louise, Daisy, ore, Claudia and danny are safe at least! But I actually like everyone this year and don't want anyone to go 😳
Tonight I loved Ore, Danny and Anastasia so my 3 free votes went to them.

I do think Louise and Kevin are good but there is just something that doesn't excite me enough to vote for them. I just go for whoever makes me feel something when I watch them.

Gio is certainly not having the same experience this year is he? He must be a little shell shocked with how things have panned out for him so far.
To be fair though last year was a special kind of "one off" I think and an experience he will never have again so maybe he is trying not to compare it.

Watching this week makes you remember (not that I ever forgot) how good Georgia was with Giovanni!
I feel exactly the same! I've watched their ballroom so many times, that I noticed this series that I'm more critical of the frame, neck and hand placement of the celeb ladies now, as I remember how Georgias was (honest!).

I also agree with the comments about their Charleston, Samba and Rumba - if she had danced them all tonight, all three would easily have been the best Charlestons, Sambas and Rumbas of the night, in my humble (possibly biased) opinion!

Spoiler


A little bit underwhelmed with tonights performances? Maybe I'm judging too harshly because they're all so good and I expect more than I should. Really like AJ and Claudia and will admit I had higher hopes for their samba - wasn't as good as I had expected. The same goes for Daisys Charleston. I liked the two rumbas and thought they were danced well but didn't wow me as much as I hoped either

I'd say Ore and Joannes was probably the best dance for me. Anastasias was her best dance, and nice to see Gorka back

Oh lordy I am posting a pic of Gio and Aljaz which is lovely, but if you scroll across the other pics you will find one of Gio in a wig.
Giovanni really could be in Len's words last year.............Giovanna !!
Come on Gio - This is not doing your Italian Stallion persona any favours what so ever haha.

Yeah I know what you mean! I think I might be slightly biased because I liked louise back in the day, had a bit of a thing for her hubby and kevin is from my neck of the woods but I have enjoyed most of their dances!

I haven't voted for anyone this year and I don't know if I will - maybe when it gets to the last couple of weeks I might!

Nope I doubt he will ever have a year on strictly as special as last year!!

I haven't watched the show tonight but I totally agree with everything you've said

I had high hopes for Claudia and aj tonight too so sorry to hear it wasn't as good as expected!

Frankly from the moment Gio walked up and kissed Georgia's neck that GG Rumba was always going to be a winner - it just sizzled
... Week 3 too - hard to believe !

It's like Len said after Georgia did the Charleston, no matter what was going on, she went out there and gave it everything she had. Pocket rocket! I still think she was cheated by not winning. Need it get over myself!

Agree it was Anastasicas best dance. I think Greg needs to worry. I've no dance experience but I thought he was shocking

Week 3 rumba was fab but the final rumba was off the scale for sexual tension and still rankles it didn't get at least 1 ten!

Indeed. And such a shame that they didn't get the comments that I feel they deserved that night. The chemistry, the spins, the performance etc for week 3. I think the same could be said of their jive for week 1 though - and their cha cha considering they only had 2 days rehearsa?l! And of course their samba was a standout for me and it will take a very good one to beat it this series for me. Thats without even mentioning their Charleston and AS! LOL. I accept that I do see it through biased eyes but I honestly feel it makes me more critical of the dances now as I do compare them to the GG dances I've watched so many times!!

None of the dances wowed me tonight. I was worried for Danny and Oti with the rumba but hopefully they did enough.
Wasn't that keen on Ore and Joanne's waltz,you couldn't see some of it as the spotlight wasn't on him all the time.
Thought Anastasia and Gorka did really well,enjoyed them.
Like some of the rest of you, I do compare Georgia's dancing, she was brilliant and her and Gio should have won.

Popping in to say that if AJ is dancing with a medal-winning gymnast and can only achieve 'that' Samba... he needs to chat to his 'Padrone' Gio....

Agree that GG Samba MUCH BETTER than AJ/Claudia Samba OK I said it Brian

Interestingly, Claudia solo Samba sections are great. Which makes sense given her gymnastics background. In hold with AJ, it is not looking as good. Gio would have achieved a higher quality result. Not very impressed with AJ's teaching but he is clearly a nice young man. Poor Claudia nearly in tears at marks/comments.

Shouldn't think so - ever !

The result spoiler is in already for those like me who can't wait

I am just going to have to say that Gio dodged a bullet this week - if next week is a ballroom dance 'Lavanni' are very lucky to have missed doing that jive.

Star and Loz are now thread Royalty (#FACT as someone would say) Any quotes involving their posts must now be directed to their PR Office first and it will cost 50p to talk/tweet/PM to them directly.

Very much Princesses the pair of them

But I have to put a word in for claire_louise who managed to get a photo of GG after waiting in the rain in Grimsby - and whoever it was (sorry having a senior moment and can't remember exactly) who saw them at the Chilli Fiesta the last time anyone from here saw them together

They both deserve to be made Dames of the thread !


Mrs G are they still selling puffa jackets in Italy ?

They are selling them. They are wearing them. The shops are full of them. All sizes, most colours, jackets, gilets, whatever you fancy Puffing is Puffa-ed.
Mr G is an archaeologist-type bod (that's probably why he still likes being with me even though I am old and falling into disrepair) and so we have spent quite a bit of time in southern Italy. I'm always v surprised at how the shops there are full of thick Puffa jackets and sheepskin boots and woolly hats and scarves in the autumn. When we were there last week, people were wearing them even though it was actually warm enough to stroll around in shirtsleeves.
Poor Gio must have been frozen to the very marrow last winter. I feel a bit guilty now about the grief we gave him over his P jacket.

Dame Star, Dame Loz, and Dame Claire_Louise sounds quite good.

Thought Gio looked so lost and unhappy tonight. He must be so sad to lose his fave dance. Hope Laura is OK for whenever rehearsals start next week.

He was so funny in Blackpool when he said 'I can no longer feel my face'

Haha thanks I quite like the sound of dame Claire 😂 Both gio and Georgia seemed like such lovely people when I met them and it was Nina (wherever she is these days) who went to the chilli fiesta and there was someone else I think maybe miss daisy? Might be wrong about the last one 😳

I think it will be quite some time before star and loz get over this one though! I'm sure they are so glad to have plucked up the courage to try and meet her
