I might be misremembering, but I think in the past they've allowed a celeb to miss one week and then return to the competition, but if their absence extends to a second week, they have to leave. So the timing might be awkward for Judi.
Has there been any news on whether Ugo is well enough to return?

If she tested positive today, isolating for 10 days will mean she'll also miss the following Saturday no? I believe it's 10 days from the onset of symptoms, not from the date of the positive test. |

I’m not suggesting Judi is doing this at all, but a well timed bout of Covid could be an easy pass to the semifinal. No it won't, apparently they are not giving out free passes for positive tests in the later stages of the competition. |

If you have symptoms, it’s 10 full days after the day you first develop the symptoms. If you don’t have any symptoms, it’s 10 full days after the day of test. Tuesday is the latest that Day 0 could be for her to be out of isolation next Saturday - and that would be the first day out of isolation! |

And how does she train in isolation?

And how does she train in isolation? Over Zoom, the way most dancers have been training for a lot of the past 18 months. |

About two weeks ago a couple from 'Dancing with Stars' did their performance via zoom. They were doing Jazz, so they didn't necessarily have to be together. Couldn't do this for a dance in hold (which is most dances).

Was the bloke the celeb? If so he is better than the UK entrants.

Yes, he's the 'star', but as he previously earned his living as a professional dancer, he does have a slight advantage over our lot.

Did she forget to pop her laundry bin in the other room?

Yes, the marking has been off for a few years, but there were some 9's and 10's handed out tonight that surprising. I've more or less stopped paying attention to the marking now, it's just a cue for a panto boo or for some of the pro's to scream and jump around.
I often wonder if the judges should rank them when the dances are all finished, a bit like Paul and Pru do for the technical challenge on GBBO. But the judges would never agree and the they would loose the 'dramatic score reveal' moment.
Are they doing a Halloween theme next week? I hope they do.

I enjoyed the Charleston but it was a bit tentative in places
I love the AT as a dance and that fell well short for me. It lacked an authentic feel for me and took forever to get going.
Tilly just bored me. I just don't get the love for what she does.
And the story of the VW didn't fit the dance... I'm angry with you so let's spin round with one another a lot.

Pretty much agree with this. I love AJ and Kai, but wasn't too impressed with the AT, it didn't seem to have the usual AT mood and atmosphere and where were all the flicky sharp legs, I was surprised it got such high marks, but what do I Know? And yes, the angry VW, was just odd with the couple's tiff idea. Charleston was my fav of the night. I would say Sara and Ugo are in trouble, perhaps Dan too |

I threw 2 votes to Sara because she does not deserve to go out before Judi and Ugo
I know better dancers always leave before weaker ones. But Sara really is showing great progress.

I thought the Charleston kept looking as if it was going to kick up a gear, then just... didn't. I liked it, but felt it could have been better.
I actually really enjoyed Dan and Nadiya's!

I think it was John and Johannes' trousers that held them back, especially John's.
And was there really any need for such filth from the pub landlady?

I loved Rose’s dance - usually the Viennese is a sweet, pink roses affair but this was sophisticated and very watchable. I enjoyed the Charleston. I think it did ‘kick off’ with the big sweep round lifts but that song maintains a beat with the key change and doesn’t speed up. Ugo , I was so worried for his back. That kind of dance isn’t kinder on a back as he suggested because of the stop start and the tension. I think he will be leaving. I’m sorry they didn't enjoy Sara more. I think she needs to stop worrying about the technique which she seems to be ok on and give it more wellie.

I’m intrigued. How do you think they changed the dress colours in the opening routine?

I really enjoyed the storyline of Rose and Giovanni’s dance. I’d definitely like to see them in the final, alongside John and Johannas. Both are great performers improving each week and also come across as lovely people.

Oti's first dress was very ill fitting and the second colour was more form fitting. So a tearaway as the clothes rails went by would be my guess I thought that at first, but then they change a couple more times. Husband was talking about chroma-key and some sort of green screen because when Oti comes towards the camera, the dress went from mustard to brown (on our very old screen!) I started to Google for it but had the result spoiled by the first hit 🙀 |
