i agree with you on all counts but especially about the lift. i gasped because i was positive it had gone wrong as it looked, to me, like she misjudged the speed and so hit the floor heavily on the first spin. but no one mentioned it and they replayed it on the way to claudia so who knows! she was incredibly brave for doing it, i would never.Rose and Giovanni - stunning. The last lift, I had no idea if it had gone right or wrong! Noticed she was counting more than she’s done since the early days - nerves? She can’t do wrong in my eyes. But…did Shirley actually say she BLOCKED OUT the noise and chatter of Rhys? I think she meant for everyone else but you could’ve worded it better Shirl!
I quite like that they dont beg for votes after the show...Rose and Gio are so confident they will get thought they don’t even story to ask for votes .....
The Sun saying Aj and Kai confirm romance. Yes I know it’s the sun !!
It's almost like an insecurity of his. Every other Pro can dance down so I'm not buying he just gets so excited excuse he is making that choice consciously.Just getting caught up on tonight's show, I reckon a Dan and AJ bottom two with Dan going...Rose and Rhys were both absolutely fab tonight and I wish Johannes would stop trying to outdance John, it's getting tedious now!
I'd quite gadly through myself headfirst at Giovanni at any given moment (crashmat or no)i agree with you on all counts but especially about the lift. i gasped because i was positive it had gone wrong as it looked, to me, like she misjudged the speed and so hit the floor heavily on the first spin. but no one mentioned it and they replayed it on the way to claudia so who knows! she was incredibly brave for doing it, i would never.
Johannes makes it all about him. If there is such a thing as a ham dancer, like there is a ham actor, then he is the very definition. He is so OTT he just looks like a parody of a dancer.I’m catching up, but it almost felt like Johannes was sabotaging their dance?! John danced really well, I’d love to dance with him! Johannes was manic

Why did they have external choreographers for their paso? I thought it was only the speciality dances outside of ten dance that they brought those in for (salsa, AT, Charleston).Like the Paso it was created outside choreographers, I wonder if they get a bit excited to show of their work via AJ that the throw everything at it forgetting she needs to be able to pull off the dance on the night whilst keeping her nerves in check.
When it's entirely Kai's choreo she really shines and seems so much more comfortable with the dance.

Completely agreeJohannes makes it all about him. If there is such a thing as a ham dancer, like there is a ham actor, then he is the very definition. He is so OTT he just looks like a parody of a dancer.
I like Johannes but agree he does do this. I first noticed it in his Charleston with Catherine Tyldesely (which I still loved) and I see it all the time now. I felt bad for her and I feel bad for John.It's almost like an insecurity of his. Every other Pro can dance down so I'm not buying he just gets so excited excuse he is making that choice consciously.
It was never quite explained, it came across like they wanted to do something NEW so they sent the in house choreographers to meddle. Whilst Kai is on ITT saying he still wants to keep the traditional elements, I got the impression he lost the battle. Hence the total mish mash of a routine and theme. I didn't even realise it was meant to be set in a Desert!Why did they have external choreographers for their paso? I thought it was only the speciality dances outside of ten dance that they brought those in for (salsa, AT, Charleston).
Kai was a junior Latin champion so I’d have hoped he could put a decent paso together.
When Jason Gilkison was interviewed on It Takes Two the other week, he said that the dance team were around to assist the pros if they needed it or wanted someone to bounce ideas off, so it happens. I'm not sure where the idea that the paso had outside choreo comes from, but have seen it mentioned a few times so maybe missed where they said soWhy did they have external choreographers for their paso?

He can learn, also. Giovanni used to do this in early series, but now he's absolutely pitch-perfect. So to speak.I think it's harsh to say he's awful - he does overdance but he has a delightful personality, has forged a great relationship with John with some really good routines and is doing something really difficult: choreographing routines for another man to do, when he's always been competing solely with female partners during his career.
There were photos/videos of them training with the team far more in-depth than the choreo team giving them a pass by. Pretty sure AJ and Kai thanked them too.When Jason Gilkison was interviewed on It Takes Two the other week, he said that the dance team were around to assist the pros if they needed it or wanted someone to bounce ideas off, so it happens.

Giovanni shines because he lets his celebrity shine.John and Johannes - I think Johannes is an amazing dancer and has choreographed some great stuff for the show but agree with most here - he HAS to stop outdancing his partner because it's having the opposite effect to what he wants. It makes his partner look poor - look at someone like Giovanni, he's never the focal point of any of his dances, he always lets his celebrity shine and choreographs to their strengths. You can be a fantastic dancer but a bad Strictly pro, I think Johannes falls into that category.
I give you, the Memorial Gio Samba Spins, while Laura Whitmore stands like a divvy in the corner!He can learn, also. Giovanni used to do this in early series, but now he's absolutely pitch-perfect. So to speak.
