James Jordan commented on this on Twitter. He said (direct quote follows): "You have 16 amazing pro Ballroom and Latin dancers on Strictly. So let's see them do what they do best. Not that dance they just did. "#Crap" Spot on, James!
+Lee Cox What? You mean he took time away from hypocritically shrieking about Jay being a "trained dancer" (unlike, Denise Van Outen, who didn't at all dance on stage in "Chicago"! nope nope!) to bitterly bitch about something else?
dbvixxen That's nothing. He also spoke about Jeremy a great deal on both Twitter and Periscope, saying that Jeremy represents what the show is really all about -- an untrained celeb who is learning how to dance to the best of his ability. He even said that he found watching someone like Jeremy who is not technically perfect but who gives it his all and shows improvement every week to be more entertaining than a trained dancer who is technically perfect but boring as hell to watch. In fact, he said that if he wanted to watch professional-level perfect dancing every week, he'd watch actual professional competitions!
Lee Cox Funny how he never had a problem with it when he had the trained dancers. Honestly, James just needs to get a job and stop spending all his time bitching and moaning about Strictly. I like Jeremy, too, but there's no need for these little backhanded attacks on other celebs while praising him.
+Lee Cox I don't know what he's on about - I loved this dance and I think this competition is about who is the best dancer, not the best entertainer. Jeremy entertained well, but wasn't the best dancer.
I thought this dance was really good !! It was fun and upbeat and the choreography seemed quite intricate - especially when the poles and plates were involved - However I don't really understand what on earth Antons doing - I just saw him popping up and doing some weird striding across the upper stage !!! But it's Anton, he can get away with it ! ☺️
I dont understand why they had anton or brendan in the group dance if they wernt doingg anything. Anton was just walking around the top part of the stage and brendan barely did anything, they are really good dancers but are being pushed aside and not even dancing to let the younger ones get a look in, them just being there made it awkward to watch, they had two other girls as well why not give them a dance together instead of doing nothing at all
+XXstilletoXX I noticed that too. But he was there at the rehearsals, I'm sure I've seen him in one of the clips. Any idea why he was not in the dance on the show? I hope he's not injured or anything! :-((((( He's my favourite pro by far!
+02mag02 No idea, but it happens all the time in these group dances. I always notice they are missing 1-3 pros or occasionally someone stands in. Such a shame, Tristan would have smashed this!
+XXstilletoXX I don't know if anybody still cares, but I've just read an interview with Tristan and there he explains why he wasn't there: "I tweaked my shoulder and neck on Week 1 so it was a precaution to come out of the group dance as I was afraid I might aggravate it before our dance with the few lifts in the Charleston. Neil was there and wanted to get involved anyway so I think it was good to see him in there but I’ll be back next week for sure."
When are they gonna cosplay "Yu Yu Hakusho", "Attack On Titan", "Neon Genesis Evangelion", "Slayers", "Soul Eater", "Inuyasha", "Naruto", and "Seraph of the End"?
noticed a guest male dancer dancing with Natalie, has ginger hair, thought it was Tristan, but he has dark hair... WHO IS HE!?!!! read some other comments Brendan and Anton didn't have partners in this sequence but neither do Ola or Kristina....
+PickeledOnion1 Apparently viewers found her nasally and hard to listen to. They also got rid of Trent because they said the viewers hadn't warmed to him.
You serious?! Aliona has rarely been the front woman I could watch her dance a routine on her own she's heads and shoulders above the rest in terms of proper technique and not over doing it! Karen and her buddy are always in your face have you seen that movie special pro dance it featured Janette and Alhambra and Karen and Kevin featured in the sugar pie honey bun pro dance or was I dreaming seeing their faces as the stars! If anything I wish they would stop and give others a chance seems as if both Janette and Karen along with their husbands/boyfriend are the producers favourites can't believe you'd say it's another Aliona show why would you even complain she's stunning rather see her than anyone else tbh.
I was impressed with Janette's high kick at 0.59, way above her head, the rest were nowhere near theirs. She's always "full on."
0:59 oh my Janette!!
ok but like that moment when janettes legs are higher than my grades
Can we just have Gleb back please 😍😍😍😍😍
Bloody hell Gleb, that floppy hair over a bandana look suits you far too much
Not the best group dance strictly have done but... Gleb and Aljaz! 😍😍
+Ashley Malone Quite Agree.
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Two of my fave male dancers - shirtless as well! 😍 Also, that pool table has no idea how lucky it is 😉
Definitely.

Remember when the group dances centred on ten dance and the VTs centred on actual training weeks? Those were the days...
Who noticed that Neil from 2016 was in this?
I didn't know he did one dance in 2015
I thought this dance was really good !!

Ladies, pause at 1:35. You're welcome.
Aliona is gorgeous
Queen Aliona!

well done pros
This dance is missing Tristan :( :( Thats all I noticed ...

+02mag02 😓😭
I’m sure he didn’t join until 2016 with Katya and that
this show reminds me of dancing with the stars a U S show
When are they gonna cosplay "Yu Yu Hakusho", "Attack On Titan", "Neon Genesis Evangelion", "Slayers", "Soul Eater", "Inuyasha", "Naruto", and "Seraph of the End"?
1:34😍
The only thing I can comment on this is that the uploader needs to turn interlacing off when they cut the footage to put on RUclips.
Georgia is Georges and Kellie is to and Helen and jannet and Alijas
2nd best... triston was missing. Gleb shirtless no complaints. aliona is beautiful. my score SSEEVVEEN
poor anton
Anton and Brendon didn't have partners 😟
Kevin 😍
who was dancing with natalie? in the red trousers?
+TaterPie99 The replacement for Tristan? But why?
I think it was a guest choreographer or dancer 😊
+Em Armstrong thanks :)
Neil the new pro this year
thanks ^-^
What happened to Tristan? 😭😥
M
noticed a guest male dancer dancing with Natalie, has ginger hair, thought it was Tristan, but he has dark hair... WHO IS HE!?!!!
read some other comments Brendan and Anton didn't have partners in this sequence but neither do Ola or Kristina....
I think he might be a choreographer but I don't know.
Saw him again on it takes two on Friday
Neil Jones. He's one of the new pros in Strictly 2016
How come Joanne doesn't have a celebrity partner this year?
+PickeledOnion1 Apparently viewers found her nasally and hard to listen to. They also got rid of Trent because they said the viewers hadn't warmed to him.
They couldn't find another male celeb i think but she was It Takes Two and she still in the pro dances
Edie... rose
😍🍒🍆🍑🍑🍍🍑😋😆😎😎😆😎😆😎😆😎😶😉
just another Aliona Vilani show. She's always at the front, give someone like Janette or Karen the spotlight for once.
It's the way the rehearsed it before the show started

Not the best group dance
+Dylan Le Lerre I agree. What the hell WAS that, a tribute to the 80s?
Lee Cox sarcasm?
Dylan Le Lerre Are you asking me if I was being sarcastic? No, I was simply asking "What the fuckity fuck?"
Lee Cox ok, good reply as well!
This is my least favorite pro dance I’ve ever seen
The worst group dance so far
