Surely all of you Glenda fans know the Johnny Ronan stories (plural). .....?

The rumble in Ranelagh.

No dance off makes a mockery of what is a well produced show for RTE. Even when they get something right they mess it up.

Not relevant for me ... imo, she should not have been eliminated

I agree she shouldn’t have been eliminated based solely on her performance, but if you’re going solely on performance Aidan and Mairead would not have won their respective series.

Fr. Ray and Michael Carruth are an embarrassment to the show dancing wise.

Watched it last night for the first and last time. It lacked atmosphere. No live band, or if there was one, I didn’t see it.
Glendas dance did nothing for me. Dancing by numbers.
The best dancers rarely win. It’s an entertainment show.

Looks kinda good on camera in fairness 😀

Glenda's dance was awful. Not the worst dance but it was still awful. The usual self-indulgent nonsense from Robert so at least we'll be spared him for the rest of the series.
Michael and Ray are utterly dire though. Hopefully they'll be on the chopping block next.

As a matter of interest, do any posters actually vote? I tend to vote as the series progresses.

Edit: also, regarding a live band/orchestra, two main reasons: firstly there's not enough room I think. The studio is quite right for space as it is. Secondly, it would raise the budget by a substantial amount.

I think Lottie is amazing. Whether you have a background or not it takes a lot of work to get those dances right. I’m really enjoying it this year. Annoyed Glenda was eliminated though.

Regarding them having a live band.
In the past I have viewed different countries DWTS and they all seen to have just a backing tracking.

Please God will this sort of show ever end.

What would you rather be watching on a Sunday night ?

How Fr Ray & Michael Carruth are both still in the competition baffles me. Surely one of them will go next week, if not it will be whoever is third from last that will go as what happened to both Yewande and Glenda. I think Grainne will be in trouble, models do terribly on DWTS.

Regarding the winner, so far it would appear to be between Sinead O'Carroll, Ryan Andrews and Lottie Ryan but don't underestimate Aidan Fogarty, I have a feeling he could be the dark horse and win like Aidan O'Mahoney in S1.

Dee Forbes will barely agree to them doing it one week!

But are they not actual already employed full time and well paid by RTE?

If so, I don’t see why a few of them could not be drafted in each week? I doubt every single member of their orchestra are performing else where each Sunday?

Open to correction on all of the above.

I agree but these shows are far more about popularity and entertainment than dancing - hence why the two lads are still in it. It’s also got everyone talking about it and people will watch to see how bad they are.

I think Ryan, Aidan and Siena’s for the final. Lottie is a great dancer but she’s a trained dancer and a lot haven’t seemed to take to her.

Brian Redmond was dragged up on stage at the Strictly Live Tour last night. He was in the audience and was called up at a "teach the Audience routine". He did well, seemed to know Craig.

There's no episode next Sunday due to the results of the General Election.
Instead it will air on Saturday the 8th at 18:35 until 20:40
It's switch up week and nobody will be eliminated!

Well thats going to endear her to the public. The judges may save her from all dance off's but she certainly hasnt a hope of winning now.

Sinead looked to be dancing in slow motion I thought

Mary looks absolutely stunning

There's something quite coarse about her, she could start by taking most of the gick off her face.

This must be the sentimental episode.

I think Laura Nolan is a total ride.

How is that for sentiment?

Claiming she didn't dance much?

Indo article from 10 years ago... " Since the age of six she had trained as a dancer with the intention of going professional.

"That was what I was supposed to do," she says. "I wanted to professionally dance. I spent years doing everything, five, six days a week. I did everything, bar Irish dancing -- ballet, contemporary, jazz. I focused on hip hop, because I knew I wanted to do commercial dancing," she reflects, revealing her natural practicality.

Then, in sixth year, her lifelong dream was brought to an abrupt halt. "There were a couple of incidents; the student visa for America was turning out to be a bit of a nightmare, I got a bad injury in my hip. I ended up going, 'Crap, better fill out the CAO actually seriously,'" she recalls."

Ryan ans Giulia are great.

No idea he had scoliosis.

funkey_monkey · 02-02-2020 8:13pm

How did Brian get more than Mary?

leahyl · 02-02-2020 8:14pm

He was told he’d never dance...at 14...strange thing to say to someone who had no dance experience...lol the guy is amazing but it’s obviously down to his training...not sure it’s fair that he’s on the show but he’s a nice guy

iamwhoiam · 02-02-2020 8:16pm

I find Guila mesmerising , beautiful woman

Sure you could say the same about Lotti about it not been fair. I think fair play to them they applied to be on it or wre asked and excepted so fair play.

funkey_monkey · 02-02-2020 8:18pm

No father Ray, you're not a dancer!!

Yeh but then don’t say they have no experience

Time for Kylie to drag Father Ray around again.

caviardreams · 02-02-2020 8:20pm

Oh God, I'm not sure what's worse - the dancing or the murdering of Hallalujah

BorneTobyWilde · 02-02-2020 8:20pm

I'm sure he had her on her knees backstage before they came out, a lil prayer can always help.

IAMAMORON · 02-02-2020 8:20pm

His holiness getting down to Leonard Cohen covers.

pjohnson · 02-02-2020 8:20pm

Should gave Ray the mic for live version while Kylee danced around him.

Absolutely, but the show shouldn’t make out that they have no dance experience then

Julian is too nice

leahyl · 02-02-2020 8:21pm

Kylie always shows herself in a great light :-P

pjohnson · 02-02-2020 8:22pm

I think his hand is actually on Kylee's arse there not her back.
