I heard that it might be 23rd/24th September, but I AM NOT SURE. It would seem the most likely dates, assuming that the 1st Week is a Friday and a Saturday.

Filing my forum nails for this year when Tessbot inevitably irritates us.

*Contestant cries after emotional dance*

Tess: It does not compute.... "What's wrong with you. Oh look you're crying. Why are you crying"

Ha ha this⬆️⬆️ although I do think it is an interesting line up this year, lots of unknown quantities and no really obvious ringers.

( good job I checked auto correct, that came up as 3 weeks of grinding ! )”

I don't get the Fri / Sat split up.

I prefer Week 2 when they're all performing and we get the first boot.

Evening all and thanks for the thread.

The one thing I hate is the gap between the launch show and the first live show - it feels like we're nearly there but not quite.

No more Oh-lah for Tess to mispronounce.

Evening all - so excited for tonight's show.

Also, I echo whoever said please don't spoil any pairings in this thread, as I've somehow managed to go three days with only one couple being spoiled! I'm quite proud of myself for that.

I wouldn't trust Claudia with a spaceship anymore than I would Donald Trump as US President!
