    On it takes two it was stated the opener would be about Johanas,s journey .
    He started hiding in a full suit, and went on to dance and dress freely.
    Fantastic

    Apart from the glorious Johannes the other dancer who stood out for her excellence was not a pro - it was Angela Scanlon in the white trouser suit and long red ponytail. She was Always on the beat , in step, doing great swivels, never not dancing, looked great in the right place at all times. Well done Angela and well done all.

      They used to do it that way too. But Covid made them change the way they performed. A lot of the group dance’s are now pre recorded Producers liked the results so much they never changed it back.
      This is why Gio wasn’t seen in the group dances this year. He injured himself at the time those dances were being filmed.

      DWTS has long been fluff, smoke and mirrors. Thought a few seasons ago , when it was called out by Len, things were going to improve, but no. Now it's been taken over it really has become as tacky as the costumes have become. Strictly's professionals are the best in the business with a real desire to pass on their craft in an attempt to create plausible dancers out of their celebrities. Thank you for recognising the quality of Strictly.

The contestant journeys, the fabulous professionals, the choreography, the production, the live band, the singers, Cat and Tess, the British accents. Did I forget to mention anything else? Oh yes, the JUGDES. 🤣It’s become a national institution.

    A song from last night's event opened when the pros performed the Blackpool ___________ Extravaganza. For what song and what artist of the singers performed for their pick? Even the judges resist what taking the Blackpool Floor in a giddy Charleston dance and the stars and pros are in them. And they're based on opening group number. The Couples: Johannes Radebe and Luka Mushtuk (who both looked like sparkly Christmas tree in their jumpsuits)led us into secret speakeasy, where all the professionals said The Telegraph as we ask to borrow this article online, please, plus extra dancers these remaining celebs and the judges joined forces as well as Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly. Bonus Points for Angela Rippon who'll be explaining when we get to the recap with Nikita Kuzmin, Angela Scanlon really embracing the spirit party and for Anton Du Beke dancing on the table. It was feature in this article and ready to put on a show featuring this story will make them dance during Blackpool Night and All star and Pros are on the floor....

Also credit to Angelas S and her Argentine Tango - splendid! Also enjoyed Ellie (not as much as the previous weeks, though - too many lifts and not enough fun Charleston) - Bobby - yes, liked his dance for the first time! I love Angela R - but tonight nothing really happened - just a bit flat - not enough for Blackpool! Annabel - fine! Layton - meh ... lost interest weeks ago! Smashing opening number!

      I think there was meant to be a liberationary 'coming out' as 'trans' story there - see my above comment. And Luba looks thrilled to have escaped from boring old 'cishet' ballroom days into brave new rainbow-'queer' 'community'!
      Reality though would be v different.

    Ummmmm why is there a dude wearing a woman's outfit and make up? Or knowing now days, do I even want to know.

      Because he likes to and he wants to, simple as that.

      Because it's the BBC, and they're intent on pushing gender identity ideology.

    Great dancing, but the messaging here is way off and most people in the comments section seem too dim to see it.
    Being a gay man is not the same as being a woman. There was no reason for Johannes to wear women's clothing, other than to push the lie that men can be women.

      Yes because there’s no history of gay men dressing in drag ever 😂

    So this is going to make me really really unpopular . . Much as I love the dancing, and love Johannes too . . I think the Beeb popular-culture bosses need to be careful about normalising common male sexual fetish Autogynophilia, where men get sexually aroused by re-imagining themselves as women.
    While I'm absolutely not suggesting Johannes is doing that here - I'm sure he's just taking choreographed instructions - I saw this choreographed story as a Trans Widow's nightmare, something we'll be hearing a lot more about in years to come.
    This is where a mature married man, often with kids, previously a secret cross-dresser, 'comes out' as 'trans' - and his entire family is expected to celebrate.
    The reality though is generally devastating for them, not to mention abusive.
    This is why though I love gay love stories, like the ones Johannes previously featured in, I am uncomfortable with men actually pretending to BE women. It looks and feels narcissistic rather than genuinely romantic.

      That's like saying we shouldn't have Mr Blobby on telly because some people are sexually aroused by wearing rubber. 🙄😂 Just switch the channel Sarah .

      @@cassiekirbyart I'm taking the opportunity to make a general observation and raise awareness of an increasingly visible sexual fetish, which I think is overdue when it comes Beeb culture. It's not about me or my personal preferences, which I use only as illustration, but I suspect are widely shared. So get out of my space, Cassie!
