    I am not keen on this trend of dedicating dances. It feels to me the contestants are soliciting votes for the sad back story rather than the quality of the dancing.

    Wondering if Greg might have another dead sister this week,he certainly needed one.
    He seems to think he only has to turn up to get good marks 😊
    What about those lifts Adam did in the Argentine Tango 😯😯

    Ooo!

    But I know what you mean.

    You'd have to blame the BBC for that as  they will have likely encoraged him.,

    They think you can't beat ramping up "the emotions with close-ups  of the  reactions," it's considered a ratings winner. 
    The growing popularity of "The Repair Shop" where there seems to be a directly increasing proportional amount of it, (which I otherwise like) is testimony to this.

    Has he ever mentioned  his sister in the boat load of other programmes of their's he's been in?

    And anyway, as  Brucie would have said, "He's their favourite!"

    I would have liked to see Adam Peaty in the Dancing on Ice.  He certainly has the strength for it.
  • Adam did some amazing lifts.
    Agree @Dovefromabove Aljaz is an amazing teacher.
    Think Greg Wise could be in the dance off this week.  Did anyone else see when Shirley was judging Gregg....the woman in the background with the jiggling legs, looked like she needed the Loo. 
    I don't think the low heeled shoes this year are helping some of the dancers. 
    Really enjoyed the show again tonight.

    Greg for the dance-off tomorrow for sure!  Loved Aljaz and Sarah's dance - my favourite of the night.  The Argentine tango is my favourite dance.  Katya was amazing - that plank she did!  But she was the star of that dance; all Adam had to do was be strong enough to lift her - not a lot of actual dancing from him.

  • I must admit when Tilly did her Paso,I couldnt take my eyes off him! He certainly "showcased" himself and not so much his partner. 
    I dont know which was my favourite,there were a few to choose from though.
    Love Aljaz hes such a smiley chap.
