Monday
- Friend of the blog Ariadne Griffin was featured for her hilarious tweet, hooray!
- Caroline enjoyed the neatness of the feet and the "ludicrous extravagance" of the arms in the cha cha cha.
- The arm-licking was not part of the original choreography but it came out during the dress rehearsal and got the seal of approval from compliance.
- Zoe is trying to make the curse of Johannes' cha cha cha a thing, but nothing can be as cursed as Aljaž's samba.
- Next week Caroline and Johannes are going to do the Argentine tango, just for Zoe, in her living room.
- Caroline and Johannes' biggest fan was a tiny child who burst into tears when they got eliminated. Awww.
- Joe Sugg is doing Movember. It is Quite A Look.
- Joe and Dianne still have some of their dance outfits at home and they occasionally reprise some of the dances.
- Today is Zoe's 50th birthday. Happy birthday Zoe!
- Common consensus among the pros is that Anton is the funniest pro, and Dianne is the messiest.
- Zoe thinks a Blackpool quickstep for JJ and Amy was a recipe for success. Er, it was? (Also: they. were. not. in. Blackpool.)
- There was a lot of love for Amy's quickstep dress on the internet over the weekend.
- JJ's eight-year-old nephew Rory is adorable.
Tuesday
- Maisie has lost track of how long the show's been running.
- Maisie and Gorka have the quickstep this week.
- Maisie was really happy with her performance and the judges' comments on Saturday, so it's good she hasn't been too traumatised by the weekend.
- Mike Bushell thinks Maisie might be coming for his dance-off crown. I'd forgotten how often he kept getting saved.
- Maisie has now mastered patting her head and rubbing her tummy at the same time.
- Kristina thinks Maisie is the most rhythmical dancer this year.
- Zoe has missed Kristina's wiggle.
- Kristina can't remember a male celebrity who enjoyed dancing ballroom tango during her time on the show.
- This year's pro challenge is to perform the most complete fleckerls in 30 seconds.
- The Netherlands' Dancing With the Stars has two hosts and no dance-off.
- Last season their first wheelchair-using contestant made the final.
- The eventual winner broke a toe playing football in the ballroom and danced in trainers doped up on painkillers in the final.
- One of their gay male contestants saw the show as a way of helping him be free in his identity (aww) and he had a female pro but also did a throuple dance with a male pro as well.
- Jamie forgot they were on the show and had nothing to wear so had to throw on some dancing clothes.
- Karen has started referring to herself as "the OG" because she's been on the show for nine years.
- Karen didn't think Jamie would be able to do street until Wednesday when it started to click.
- There was originally a flip in their routine but Jamie wasn't up for that so they took it out.
- Both Jamie and Karen think it's hilarious that he was the celeb to get her to the top of the leaderboard.
- Jamie and Karen have the tango this week and Jamie thinks the footwork is completely ridiculous and unnatural.
Wednesday
- Rylan is out of isolation! (Or 'Rysolation' as he calls it) Hooray!
- As are Nicola and Katya! Who are still in their bubble, by the way.
- But Zoe was ill today! Boo!
- Nicola kept busy making TikToks.
- Katya is well and hasn't had any symptoms.
- Nicola and Katya will be dancing a new routine in the final.
- Rylan isn't sure if wardrobe are making him and Zoe share blazers.
- Jamie has a fidgety shoulder.
- Ian thinks HRVY and Janette's Couple's Choice will top the leaderboard.
- Ian is making Maisie top of his leaderboard this week.
- Craig has returned to the pro challenge.
- Gorka isn't sure if being the first pro whose challenge is featured is a good or bad thing, but given the winner is always on the last episode of the challenge...
- Gorka blames his baby on his recent poor showing.
- Fleckerling Gorka looks like the mannequin from a musical jewellery box.
- Watching people fleckerl tons of times in a row is making me feel a bit motion sick.
- The pros can change direction in the challenge, but Gorka chose not to, and just to spin round and round, because he thinks it's more natural and you'll get dizzy however you fleckerl.
- Gorka had two disqualifications, and got 13 fleckerls overall. He also attempted to declare the pro challenge over there and then with himself as the winner.
- Bill got nervous on Saturday because it was the mid-point of the series, and because it was BLACKPOOL. (Even though it wasn't).
- Oti's teaching techniques are proprietary and must not be spoken out loud.
- Rylan thinks if Craig calls a dance 'extraordinary' it should get at least a 9.
- Joan Collins is a Bill Bailey fan.
- Bill thinks that the song 'One Way Or Another' might actually be mocking him personally.
Thursday
- HRVY's Couple's Choice routine will be a fusion of street, commercial and contemporary.
- Aljaž thinks you have to 'go crazy' with a samba. Explains a few things.
- Clara doesn't mind having been at the bottom of the leaderboard because she's also been at the top, so this shows she's got the range.
- Clara and Aljaž will be dancing to 'River Deep, Mountain High', aka the song that made me vote for Nicola Roberts in Popstars: The Rivals.
- Tina Turner is 81 today!
- Vicky Gill thought it'd be easier this series having designed a lot of outfits over the summer, but it hasn't been.
- Ranvir thinks she owes everything to Vicky Gill because she becomes a different person when she puts her dance outfit on.
- Maisie's quickstep dress has been prepared for weeks, conspiracy fans!
- This week's pro dance is pinball themed. Graziano will be the player, and Nancy the boss.
- Aljaž pronounces it 'painball'.
- Aljaž got 18 fleckerls with zero disqualifications in the pro challenge.
- Ranvir was in a bit of a trance in their Argentine tango.
- Ben Shephard wants Ranvir to do her Argentine tango in Downing Street.
- Giovanni thinks Ranvir looks better with a bent leg.
Friday
- Janette thinks that the street/commercial/contempowaft routine they'll be doing at the weekend is very her.
- HRVY doesn't want to dance the tango again.
- Janette is happy they can use HRVY's dirty ringah experience in Couple's Choice.
- As surprising as this may seem, the graphics get tweaked to suit the dances rather than the other way around.
- Craig has some sparkling ruby shoes.
- Out of all the eliminated cast so far, Craig would have liked to see Caroline last longer.
- Craig seems to recall that he thought Bill fluked his way into brilliance in week one. (Craig gave Bill a 3 that week.)
- Craig also suddenly thinks Ranvir had clean, precise footwork in her Argentine tango, despite what he said on Saturday.
- Craig thinks the rumba is the dance most celebrities struggle with. What's a rumba?
- Craig is hoping we see a good rumba this series. At this point I'd even take a bad one.
- Karen thinks there is a chess piece called "the horsey".
- This week's Friday panel is Mike Bushell, Suzi Ruffell and Blu Hydrangea.
- Blu thinks JJ and Amy's appeal is that they're a 'beautiful wholesome couple'.
- Suzi thinks the general harumphing in Maisie's direction is "typical British".
- Blu wants Bill to be his uncle.
- Mike thinks Jamie is going home this week, Suzi and Blu think JJ.
- Ronan Keating has done a dance remix of 'Love Is A Rollercoaster'.
