Starting the thread by making it all about myself dahlings

- I'm still firmly team new presenters, although I definitely want to see Josh upstairs more; I understand why they've put Jojo there, though
- Felt terrible for Laurence having a dance disahster after doing so well last week
- Sleep deprivation seems to be working for Will, I really enjoyed that, cheesy theme notwithstanding, particularly loved Dianne chucking her prop baby in the pram like a sack of spuds 😂
- Delta & Tabby my best of the night, not sure they were quite 10s but I didn't go "Oh duck off!" like I usually do at 10s this early so I'll allow it
- Dani is so boring, although she seems like a lovely girl
- Bethany and Nancy much better but still not quite there
- Maddie needs to get her act together with Cach, he could be amazing but it's just not happening
- John and Graham repping the Ballroom Boys, very nice
- Anton descending into incoherence after doing so well so far this series
- Liked Shirley's dress tonight, also have to admit I agreed with her a bit about Lacey's Tango, too manic
- Shaun to go, much as I like him and I think Alexis has done a good job

I don’t care who goes at long as it’s not Shaun.

I want Will and his flappy gob and Joel Dommet’s evil twin face and overscoring and new baby gimmicks gone. Ugh, duck OFF. I’d dislike him whoever he was partnered with btw, Dianne stans. He gives me full body nope.

Tabby and Mark are fast becoming my favourite couple.. What a great addition Mark has been to the show. Voted for them and Lawrence

Mark is a fantastic addition. I hope he doesn’t get forced to act up or start being silly.

if those two were in the dance off surely the judges would send Lawerence home? I’d prefer him to stay personally
He would probably go home unless he was against Shaun. 🤷‍♀️

and I’d rather Shaun, as Lawrence has been underwhelming to bad for every dance despite not being a beginner.

Ultimately I want Tabby to win and I think she will, but I don’t care who goes as long as it isn’t Shaun.

I absolutely adore her, and she and lovely Mark together - perfection! She is so lovely anytime she is on ITT too. Really supportive to the others. I'd love to see her win. I saw her win, in the Winter Olympics, well, on tv. 😁 My god that skeleton racing is not for the faint hearted! I never heard of it before this year.

I'm still annoyed about what Anton said to Shaun. It was really sarcastic imo. You could be such a great dancer if you... names absolutely everything that he is doing wrong. In other words, you're not a dancer - and he isn't. But there are ways of saying things. It was so snide, and I think Anton often gets away with that by smiling like Mr Nice Guy throughout.

My votes - Shaun ❤, Tabby ❤, Lacey cos she was hard done by, imo, Delta (I 😍 Kai) and John (I 😍 Katya).

Having another look at Vito's Tango, I know there are only so many steps in the world but some pros like to use their favourites over. The start Lacey on her own lifting and opening her skirts, Vito comes behind her and holds her arms, and she leans forward and sways around. Well I am an expert on Ellie and Vito circa 2023 and although not exactly the same it was incredibly similar to the opening of week 5 Paso Ellie's breakthrough dance. It was very ambitious and not a little bit more Paso than Tango at times, danced at breakneck speed. Lacey's always seemed to be a little behind. To be honest she did well to keep up as it was so manic. I wonder what Ellie Leach thought sitting in the audience, I bet she was glad she wasn't out there tonight.
