Did anyone else notice the lack of curtseys and bows at the end of the dances last night?

I thought that the first few dancers looked like they were itching to do an acknowledgement at the end of the dance but they didn't... they held their finish pose then just walked towards Bruce. Call me a traditionalist but it just felt wrong/rude to miss out this important part of dancing! You always thank the audience and each other. I was shocked! Some dancers I did notice do a curtsey/bow later. I was thinking that maybe they had been told not to do one so as to save on time but if they had then that is highly rude in my opinion..

Perhaps it is something to do with the fact that there are two more couples this time and air time is tight, I noticed that the judges/dancers comments also seemed rushed

And the chat with tess - poor Anton and Patsy didn;t get to say a word!

they'll get their turn. can't imagine anton staying quiet for long

they seem to always spend longer with the first and last couples but mix the order up

It did seem particuarly rushed this week. Brucie always seems to be hurrying everyone along which annoys me, but he was even worse than usual this week!

If they cut out all his dodgy "jokes" there would be more time for the judges comments!

Was it me or were the actual dances shorter then usual too?

the dances are always shorter at the beginning. less to learn and less airtime

it'll be ages before they have two dances each i should imagine
