OK, I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought Millsy was saying that to be snarky.

I'm pretty sure they get to pick the song for this week so I'm assuming Nick has a pretty good reason for choosing this one!! I think we can all guess what that reason is! Lol

I love this song! Not sure about it for a Rumba but we'll see. I have full faith in Peta.

Can't believe I am saying this but Nick, you need to imagine Vanessa in Peta's place for this dance to get the chemistry right.    

Fingers crossed! I am excited!  

Each couple will dance to a song of the celebrity’s choosing that encompasses a memorable time or truly incredible experience in their life. These heartfelt performances promise to showcase some of the most exciting choreography and emotional routines of the season yet. Viewers can expect to see Nick Viall dancing to celebrate his engagement to Vanessa Grimaldi

Rumba is one of the most difficult dances. As Mark Ballas once put it, it's the most deceptively difficult dance because it actually looks fairly easy. Most people see rumba as the "walking" dance. But that slow hip movement is so difficult to get just right and if you don't, it doesn't work. So I'm wishing Nick all the luck, especially because as the male, even if he's the celebrity, they have to lead in all the dances.

Regarding the tempo of Shape of You, it is 96 BPM according to https://songbpm.com/ed-sheeran/shape-of-you

Recommendations vary quite a bit, but 96 seems to be on the slow side, which is good I think.

I am crossing my fingers that Nick and Peta have a great Rumba. I hope he can gain some confidence in the next few days because btw his lack of motivation yesterday and his snapchat this morning where he feels he has alot of improving to do makes me concerned the judging is bringing him down.

Oh no not the rumba. It is notoriously difficult for the male celebs to get right. The balance between masculine & feminine for those rumba walks. Oh I wish they had just about any dance but rumba. Guess we'll see how it goes. Also you need to point your feet and foot placement has not been Nick's strong point so far.
Fingers crossed he surprises me.

Love the sheeran song!!! Perfect for Nissa!

Love the sheeran song!!! Perfect for Nissa!

I think it's perfect for them too. Even if it's not danced to "perfection", it's about Nick's message to Vanessa.

[cookielover12]

It would have been awesome if he picked Perfect by Ed Sheeran!

[notarose]

I'm so excited about this dance.  It's for V so anything could happen.  I love N&V surprises.

[Cocoasneeze]

I'm just so glad he's dedicating this dance to Vanessa. Bold and romantic statement, and I'm so exited!
