Sorry but only 8 hours a day? That's a bloody working day. A 40 hour week being viewed as the bare minimum is very problematic.A lot has been made of Amanda only wanting to do 8 hours of training a day, like she was workshy when in fact she has a family at home one of whom is disable. I'm starting to see why they never gave Gio anyone with a heavy work load he wouldn't have tolerated it!
More than 40 hours as they would work 6 days a week. Well the pros would do 7 if they prepared their choreography on the Sunday. Look at how exhausted some of them looked by the final. Physical training for 8 hours in one day would finish me off let alone going 6 days a week potentially for months.Sorry but only 8 hours a day? That's a bloody working day.

Exactly and that's just Mon-Thu, Friday and Saturday are long studio days especially Saturday which can sometimes be a 16 hour day.Sorry but only 8 hours a day? That's a bloody working day. A 40 hour week being viewed as the bare minimum is very problematic.
And with the best will in the world, when you get to a certain age, you just don’t bounce back as well as you did in your 20’s. One week of that is probably do-able but constantly for 3 months’ - not a chanceSorry but only 8 hours a day? That's a bloody working day.

Give them all a 16 hour day stuck in a room with Giofanny bellowing in their face and blowing fag ash breath everywhere with no lunch break. See with they think of him then!8 hours of physical training a day, plus Sat, plus any BBC commitments like ITT, plus a family at home, the judgey judys can get in the sea, ffs
Agreed."It's just his teaching style" is such a load of bollocks.
The best teachers are the ones who are able to adapt to get the most out of their student. If something isn't working in the training room, it's really the pro's job to find something that does. And if it doesn't change and the environment becomes unworkable, who's fault is that but the teacher?
Way back when, certainly in series 3 and 4 when much of the storyline was about Boy’s rivalriesExactly and that's just Mon-Thu, Friday and Saturday are long studio days especially Saturday which can sometimes be a 16 hour day.
The culture around training maybe needs to be tackled. I know many have expressed concern about standards slipping as a compromise maybe they could go back to training for longer before the live shows but cap the amount of hours that are allowed daily.
And someone like Layton, who is used to learning choreography, could probably do two hours training and do something decent.Way back when, certainly in series 3 and 4 when much of the storyline was about Boy’s rivalriesNorth/South Yorkshire for Darren Gough and James Martin and Cricket v Rugby for Mark and Matt the training hours were shown and were getting up to ridiculous levels even then. At some point that was stopped and people grizzled that you ‘couldn’t see how much they were putting into it’ (probably around the time it backfired on them showing John Sargent reading a paper rather than training) which is daft any way … because the technically earliest 10 in Strictly history for Louisa’s second dance of a jive was given after about 9 hours of training due to a Vincent crocking his back and Michael Vaughan trained relentlessly for a jive that while awesome was always also going to be complete pants.
Just because you train 50 hours a week, doesn't mean it’s going to be any good.
Wasnt it Nikita as well, who said that she and Gorka spent time looking out the window at the trees with a drink just chatting about nothing?I found it interesting that Vito would give Ellie 15 min nap breaks not just to physically recover but he was aware that after a certain point there is so much new information going into her brain it needed a break to process it.
Now that is a good teacher. As someone else mentioned Gio lacks emotional intelligence, it's not just that he's shouty and demanding he really lacks people skills too.
I can't quite remember who it was maybe Ellie or Zara, it was one of the younger woman, said at the start the thing they were most nervous about was spending a lot of time alone with someone they didn't know well.
Some of the Pro's especially the men need to realise that being alone in the training room with a strict teacher could be a really intense and even intimidating experience for some people even those in showbiz.
TBF Ranvir was doing the breakfast show on ITV and was getting up at 3:30! He did seem, eventually, to work around that.A lot has been made of Amanda only wanting to do 8 hours of training a day, like she was workshy when in fact she has a family at home one of whom is disable.

Whilst I know Vito can be a bit annoying when he goes off on one with his waffly analogies but I really don’t understand how anyone could dislike him.Aww Uncle Vito with Havanna Jones
People on DS were calling him a vile, repulsive man, who was also a possible sexual predator towards Ellie. I also remember someone saying they had an almost irresistible urge to punch him in the face when they saw him on screen) I've never even said that about FR!). I don't even think all of these people were Gio fans! (at least one was a very over-invested Layton stan.Whilst I know Vito can be a bit annoying when he goes off on one with his waffly analogies but I really don’t understand how anyone could dislike him.
