- Stacey's skirt fell down in the studio rehearsals.
- Charles' final pre-show cliche? 'To worry is to fail'.
- Adam Lambert got so enraptured watching Neil and Katya in rehearsals that he forgot he was meant to be singing.
- Joe's got a 15-inch...television in his dressing room, you pervs.
- A pigeon invaded the studio this weekend.
- But for some reason this was soundtracked by the Pink Panther theme rather than 'Stop the Pigeon'.
- Karen isn't going to let a little thing like elimination stop her from telling Charles to straighten his back.
- Charles can cry from a single eye only.
- Charles wants Joe to win.
- In the tango, the lady is much tighter than she would be in the other ballroom dances.
- The tango shares a move with the Viennese waltz, called the Viennese cross.
- If you want to tell people to send videos in in portrait mode, whacking a huge landscape-oriented screen in the middle of the shot might not be the best choice.
- Gorka managed 37 toe-heel swivels with one disqualification, so he's now joint top with Giovanni.
- Karen Hardy appears to have forgiven the show for whatever it did to her and came back for Khoreography Korner.#
- Karen doesn't think Joe embodied the character of Joseph. He might also be slightly annoying, the second-youngest, the contentious favourite and have gaudy dress sense but until he starts dreaming about corn she's having none of it.
- Nadiya got the exact same score as Gorka, right down to the single disqualification.
- Joe is doing an Argentine tango to the Peaky Blinders theme tune.
- This year's dance genre imbalance means we're not going to see Ashley do an Argentine Tango or waltz, Faye a salsa or American Smooth, Joe a tango or rumba, Lauren a foxtrot or rumba (again), or Stacey an Argentine Tango (again) or - ya guessed it - a rumba. There's a few in there I'd have traded seeing over endless cha chas and jives, not gonna lie.
- There are six projectors projecting onto the dance floor so that the dancers don't get projected on.
- Ashley's excited for a pah-so with pah-shah.
- Pasha forgot he got a 40 for his paso with Chelsee.
- Ashley is hoping people are just picking up the phone to vote for dances they enjoyed. Given that she's had basically no votes for two weeks, surely she should be hoping that's not the case?
- Faye's charleston made Ian cry. In a good way, hopefully.
- Aljaž doesn't like the face he pulled when Abbey won. If he thinks that's bad, he should see the face *I* pulled.
- Aljaž thought he was going to get further with Helen.
- This year's pro challenge was definitely filmed at a time when Kevin was working on the beard.
- Kevin is worried that he is slowing down with age.
- Kevin got 38 toe-heel swivels after two disqualifications, putting him at the top of the leaderboard - which is quite surprising, because his technique looked shocking.
- Stacey is going to go and see Les Misérables in January.
- Stacey was planning to keep her ballroom shoes as a souvenir, but they stink so much by now that she's having second thoughts.
- Stacey and Kevin are going to play old people called Ethel and Ned in their charleston.
- They paid out on those stoned goat puppets so they're getting their money out of them by having them molest Zoe.
- Faye's taken to wearing what looks like Dorien Green's cast-off leopard-skin dressing gown.
- Giovanni is now third place in the overall leaderboard of who has the most 10s, having overtaken Artem.
- Giovanni enjoys being behind Pasha and Kevin (ooo-err missus etc).
- Faye's feet are cut to ribbons.
- Faye's not feeling the samba, colour me shocked.
- Katya decided to dance in a circle as a strategy for the pro challenge.
- Katya managed 42 toe-heel swivels and Graziano did 41, but she had three disqualified and he had two, leaving them both in the top spot with 39 points.
- There's been a lot of half-inch crin this series, apparently.
- Lauren's getting a hippy-inspired look this week.
- Darcey did think a woman would win but since she's seen Joe's popularity she's backtracking on that a bit.
- Darcey didn't get as much time to practice the Mamma Mia! number as she would have liked, but she considers any time with Pasha to be time well-spent.
- Darcey met Jason Momoa recently and was quite smitten with him. Although she thinks he's called Jason 'Monoa'.
- Darcey also liked watching Giovanni and Graziano fighting over Luba. Quite the insight into Darcey's rich inner life, isn't it?
- The show thinks it could get me watching Olly Murs by sticking him at the start of the show, rather than the end. Wrong.
- Joe still can't do spotting. In fact he can't actually remember that it's called "spotting", so he can't even do an "I thought that was something you did with trains!" joke.
- Yo, two-dance week is HARD you know. Not as hard for the celebs as it will be for me recapping it, I bet.
- Ashley calls Beyoncé "'Yonce´".
- Apparently there was a photo of AJ dressed in a sailor suit used in their dance on Saturday but no-one noticed because it was on screen at the same time as topless Johannes.
- Lauren's great nan emphasises the J in AJ rather than the A.
- Faye got to rehearse her AT in the skirt to see if her heel would get stuck... it did.
- The Friday panel are Ronni Ancona, Russell Grant and Radzi Chinyanganya.
- Ronni does not look like Ronni Ancona any more.
- Ronni does not want to be reminded of her Christmas special dance.
- Radzi's been converted to ballroom this series.
- Zoe thinks Joe and Dianne will be doing an 'Argentine tangle' this weekend.
- 'Gritty lactic acid' is a phrase no-one ever needs to hear again.
- Zoe nearly forgot Faye and Giovanni were on the show.
- Radzi thinks Faye will get 40 for her samba. Seems unlikely.
- Joseph is coming back to the West End. Joe hasn't ruled out taking the role.
- No-one can remember how long they've been working on this show now.
- This week's pro dance isn't just a dance, it's couple's therapy. Can't wait to see what the Cliftons and Joneses will be doing in it.
- It also features a tug-of-love between Janette, Oti and Amy for the love of Aljaž.
- The final pro challenge contenders are Luba, Oti and Amy.
- Luba made it look a lot easier than many of the previous contenders; Oti's technique looked shonky as anything; Amy stayed on the spot and looked and sounded like a battery-powered corkscrew.
- Apparently "quality over quantity" is a Welsh saying?
- All three of them have the highest scores so far: one of them had 42 steps with 2 disqualifications, one 40 with no disqualifications (and, like the regular final, we don't find out which is which), but with 48 steps and no disqualifications, the winner and record holder is... Oti. Despite that technique. Even the adjudicators were surprised and had to check the footage twice.
- Oti didn't prepare a speech as she thought she'd been saved til last as a joke. She dedicated the award to her shoes and really good bra.
- Gethin made Stacey and Kevin late for rehearsals.
- The right music is what takes you far, according to Russell.
- Ronni still hasn't forgiven Anton for sabotaging her with shiny shoes.
- Joe and Dianne have inherited the haunted deer from Helen George's series.
- Radzi thinks Joe will win.
- Ronni's ability to do impressions has declined over the years.
- Radzi didn't do homework at school but has been swotting up on his Strictly stats.
- 'Five Foot Two and Eyes of Blue' is another song that they can't get the licensing for. So much so that Zoe calls it 'Six Foot...'
- Ronni thinks Stacey's going to 'throw' her Charleston out of the park - not sure if that's a compliment or dig.
- Russell wants Lauren to win, Ronni Stacey and Radzi Joe. No word on who might be going home.
- Louise Rainbow has disappointingly grey hair and clothes. She is moving on after this series. She also thinks the viewers have enjoyed the changes this year. What, like Sid, bargain-bin casting, couple's choice and Graziano? Imma need receipts.
- Louise thinks that couple's choice is the first new dance style since the Charleston. Except Fusion.
- Louise thinks Abby Clancy was a fantastic champion, and that Ed Balls doing 'Gangnam Style' was a highlight, thank goodness she's finally leaving.
- Olly Murs has somehow made 6 albums.
- Olly Murs' new single sounds weirdly like 'Hiphopapotamus vs Rhymenoceros' by Flight Of The Conchords.
