has anyone been in the audience for the saturday/'sunday' recording? How long a break do they have between recording, and what time do they finish. it's a long day for everyone. I still laugh at tess and Claudia starting the results show by looking over their shoulder at a routine clearly recorded ages ago.

I appreciate were still only in early days and are now going into week 3 of the completion but has everyone stated assigning the favourite couples yet? The ones you're will in on, or the ones that you're just tolerating until they're voted off?

Will Mellor for me. Always like him and he just seems a nice, funny guy and he's a pretty fair dancer.
Tony Adams for the entertainment value.

Just watched Ritchie on ITT and he actually came across as really calm and insightful. He clearly couldn’t believe he was on Strictly in the first place. He’s grown on me.

I'm particularly enjoying Tyler, Will, Fleur and Molly - think they are all strong.
Sad that two of my favourite pros Giovanni and Kai are out so soon. Giovanni's heart didn't seem in it this year.

Will is probably top of my list.
I don't warm to Molly but can acknowledge her performances as being good.
I really don't let Helen at all. This is more to do with her performances on other shows than anything she is doing on the dancefloor. But I just don't like her and nothing will change that.
I am pretty ambivalent about the rest of them. Not a vintage batch of celebs

Ritchie's stationary samba walks were atrocious. <gavel> If you're going to do something right in front of the judges, with your feet at their eye level, make sure you do it properly (and I'm not letting Giovanni off the hook either, he should have made sure he could do them).

I genuinely believe that Giovanni didn't give two hoots about whether Richie was doing the right steps. He had the air of having completely checked out of things |

Having watched their exit interview on It Takes Two, I can't disagree! Giovanni's answers were quite uncomfortable to watch. There was none of the " I'll miss spending the days with you" stuff and he analysed their performance as " quite good"!

I haven't seen It Takes Two yet, but I know Gio wasn't interested from the first minute I saw him in week 1. The problem may have been Richie himself, or it could just be that Gio didn't want a male partner. not in a homophobic way, but maybe he's more comfortable in routines with a female partner.
I saw on Helens Wiki that she won a dance competition years ago, it was a competition paired with people in wheelchairs, but even so they've kept that quiet.

Helen is a trained tap dance teacher
And yes, I know that isn't Latin or Ballroom. But it is still a very high level of dance experience

Matt is SO much more relaxed and normal on It Takes Two. I hope this personality comes across on the live show this weekend.

Maybe I'm being harsh but back stories aka sob stories do the opposite to me than their intention but I'm sure she will get plenty of sympathy votes.

Last week it was body positivity. This week it was losing a sibling.
Time to ditch the VTs and just focus on the dance.

A few have done really well this week.
And the dresses are mostly quite nice!

Other than Ellie T and her milkmaid frock. That is hideous

Ludicrous overmarking again tonight
I gave my 3 votes to Will as he really doesn't deserve to go yet.

Johannes on the farm was like Alexis Carrington Colby guest starring on Emmerdale! Fabulous.

Did anyone else think that Jayde Adams looked like Elsa from Frozen?

Hamza was incredible, he probably deserved the 40 but we all know that Craig holds it back.
Tony was really good! A massive improvement. They need to ditch the comedy and actually work on technique now and he could surprise a lot of people.
Fleur and the Argentine Tango was amazing, I thought that would get 40.
All Helen needed was intensity and she would have got 36, surely Gorka would have drummed that into her? Also, Gorka didn’t look happy at all and I thought it was cos Helen didn’t put everything into it, then my fiancée told me about her ex cheating and having a baby.
Tyler is such an amazing solo dancer, he’s my favourite at the moment.
I thought James did very very well too!
Molly was SO good that I wasn’t even watching it like she was a celeb, faultless!
I do feel sorry for Matt. He comes across so much more comfortable on It Takes Two, plus I watched that Netflix doc this week and it made me like him more. He just needs to sort out his posture and keep his head straight.

At least Will didn't make too much of the fact that he's been really ill all week. Hope he manages to avoid the dance off as he did look awful and i noted that he disappeared for the rest of the show and only reappeared at the end.
