Blackpool is on 18th of November, my birthday weekend tradition :dance2:

[Nicky91]

today is red carpet day for our celebs and pro's


am curious if they'll go back to how it was Pre-Covid, with loads of media, for photos, interviews

or something slightly toned down at Elstree

[Nicky91]

i might record the launch show i think, depends on wether my footie team Fortuna or my dad's footie team PSV has to play that evening :think:

[Nicky91]

[Nicky91]

I'm so excited for this. Bring it on!

i'll record most of it i think

can't watch due to the football



now footie is more exciting than ever before, now we're off to one of our best starts, and the so called ''topteams'' ajax, feyenoord struggling big time

[Nicky91]

so i won't be making the songs and dances threads this year


am recording everything so i can fastforward through all the irrelevant talking and watch multiple episodes in a row

How Nice

6:35PM BBC1HD Saturday Launch Show

[arista]

On Now

[Vanessa]

Aw Amy. Hope she gets better soon :love:

[Vanessa]

Tribute for Len :bawling:

[Vanessa]

Nigel did good in the group dance.
Thank god he seems to have good rhythm.
Leyton staring at the camera. That's already putting me off him.
I think Bobby and Diane will he a fun pairing.

[jet]

Good launch show.
Looking forward to it all. It's one of the few times our whole family sit down together to watch something.

[Nicky91]

my thoughts on the launch show and the pairings

great launch show, good fun, lovely heartwarming tribute to Len :love:


now as for the pairings

the males

Adam & Luba: think Luba this time has a good one compared to James and Jason, also lols at Adam's wife being a dance teacher, the pressure of that :joker:

Bobby & Dianne: first of all height wise a complete mismatch, combined with Dianne's too basic choreo's, would've more loved Nadiya for him i think

Eddie & Karen: he has a good one in her, whom also slayed with other comedy contestants like Chris, Dave and had a knockout streetdance with Charles

Jody & Jowita: i like to be surprised here, same as last year with Hamza, hope he can combine strictly and 2024 paralympics training well enough though

Krishnan & Lauren: not sure about him, am happy for Lauren she has her first partner (even though that is more because of Amy being unwell) but am curious what she can bring to the table choreo wise

Layton & Nikita: did not expect he got Nikita, also personality wise he's so annoying

Les & Nancy: don't underestimate him, especially with a very skilled and innovative choreographer like Nancy

Nigel & Katya: finalist material on paper yup, he also comes across like such a normal down to earth guy, must consider himself lucky to be in the hands of one of strictly's best choreographers/dancers

------
now the women

Amanda & Giovanni: am expecting good things here, Gio is a superb dancer, Amanda herself can bring all of her 30 years of acting experience to the table

Angela R & Kai: seems like a lovely partnership already! and Angie looks so FIT, indeed look at those legs, whew :dazzler: good figure for 79 :love:

Angela S & Carlos: am really curious what he can do now with a non-ringer, this is his first real test i think

Annabel & Johannes: gonna be the surprise of the year me thinks and omg that lift in the group dance of hers, how brave :clap1:

Ellie & Vito: same with Carlos, also curious how he'll do with a non-ringer this time around

Nikita & Gorka: she seems so much fun, so youthful, a true firecracker, has a good teacher in Gorka for sure

Zara & Graziano: gonna be a fun pairing too i think, lovely for the many tiktoks, also came across so nice, normal unlike most other LI contestants whom are too full of themselves

[Nicky91]

Layton having Samba

Ellie having Jive

Zara having Cha Cha Cha

Nikita having Waltz



and from the socials what we know

Bobby has Cha Cha Cha

Adam might have Jive

Annabel has a latin dance (not sure yet which one)

[Vanessa]

I think Nigel and Katya also have the hive.

[Vanessa]

Leyton will no doubt be amazing. He just comes across a bit smug?
Maybe he'll grow on me.

[Nicky91]

that dress Shirley wore, she looked like a bird :joker:

[Vanessa]

Nigel wearing trainers in the pic I saw on insta..I'm convinced he has the jive!

[Nicky91]

Jive on week 1 is literally brutal to get that difficult one to begin with :(

[Vanessa]

Jive on week 1 is literally brutal to get that difficult one to begin with :(
He'll be fine. He has a musical theatre background. So he will at least have good rhythm.

[Nicky91]

could Les have a rumba for this week :o

Nancy teased us they have one of the most difficult dances

[Vanessa]

could Les have a rumba for this week :o

Nancy teased us they have one of the most difficult dances

Maybe it's a tango?

[Nicky91]

Maybe it's a tango?

Tango's are usually not that difficult for male celebs though?

as most duffers tend to do well with it either

[arista]

Good it is Live tomorrow
Saturday 23rd 6:15PM BBC1HD

[arista]

https://twitter.com/DailyMirror/status/1705421476260643055

[Vanessa]

Im so excited.Bring it on!

[Nicky91]

am recording it again, watching tomorrow (am looking forward to it, so therefore won't be on here tomorrow morning and afternoon then, also have to avoid wikipedia, youtube a bit)

just as easy tbh, i mean i as a non-brit can't vote anyway, and we have the footie on saturday evenings (my city's team, dad's faves PSV now more on saturdays than sundays because of the CL)

[arista]

Bobby, Jody and Nigel.

1 Annabel.
2 Nigel.
3 Bobby.
4 Angela.
5.Jody
6.Ellie.

[arista]

The 78 year old gets a Front Page

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/A855/production/_131239034_telegraph-nc.png.webp

[Mystic Mock]

My personal top 3 of the first round of dances.

1. Nigel - Not bad for a first week Paso.
2. Ellie
3. Leyton

My bottom 3 based on entertainment value more than technical ability.

1. Eddie - He imo had the most bizarre dance of the night, I honestly don't get how he scored higher than Adam tbh.
2. Nikita
3. Bobby - Way too cheesy for me.

[Nicky91]

my thoughts

Adam & Luba: not bad for a first performance, also to open the show, yeah looked alright

Angela S & Carlos: pretty decent tango, although a little bit too much for me

Eddie & Karen: underscored for me, was a very entertaining performance, it was quick, although indeed too little moments in hold

Angela R & Kai: Flexy Legsy whew, Debbie McGee eat your heart out!!!!! this was a gorgeous performance, and i thought there was enough cha cha for me

Nikita & Gorka: it looked nice, i always enjoy a good slow waltz

Layton & Nikita: no thank you, also he was kinda wooden in the lower half, not enough hip action, darling

Zara & Graziano: too much posing going on for my liking, but the good part they have this dance out of the way now

Les & Nancy: it was bad ok, but i liked it, a lot good job Nancy for giving him something decent to entertain with

Ellie & Vito: not bad for someone her size, she isn't the skinniest/lightest and also for week 1, this was a pretty okay jive

Jody & Jowita: one of my standouts of the night, undermarked and a very nice quickstep apart from one tiny mistake which he couldn't do much about i think with his disability

Bobby & Dianne: a Dull Foxtrot from Dull Dianne, also not enough foxtrot for me personally, too much contemporary faffing about

Annabel & JoJo: what a serve this was, FINALLY a Tennis Player who can DANCE!!!!!!! great partnership too

Amanda & Giovanni: what was Craig moaning on about, this was divine, and that fleckrl, YUM YUM, ones to watch this series i'll tell you

Krishnan & Lauren: i don't know what hurt my eyes more, this cringe or Shirley's ugly pink dress :joker:

Nigel & Katya: Colin the Paso God worked well for ya, mate, wow wow wow wow wow, that capework too in week 1, wow wow :flutter:

[Vanessa]

Bobby is a good dancer. But I hate the saccharine sweet routines.
But that's not on him, he can only do what he's told. I really wish he had another pro.

[Nicky91]

Bobby is a good dancer. But I hate the saccharine sweet routines.
But that's not on him, he can only do what he's told. I really wish he had another pro.

he would've been better off with Nadiya i think


although am glad Nadiya has more free time, so she can help La Rippon, as she's with Kai, right

[Vanessa]

he would've been better off with Nadiya i think


although am glad Nadiya has more free time, so she can help La Rippon, as she's with Kai, right

Yes. Also Diane is too short for Bobby. He needs a tall lady, like Nadya.

[Nicky91]

fun song choice this week for Annabel & Jojo

quickstep to walking on sunshine

:dance:


Layton & Nikita also have quickstep to Puttin on the Ritz


and Angela S & Carlos have a jive to Trouble

[Vanessa]

Quickstep to Putting on the Ritz. That's going to be amazing!

[Nicky91]

so Joanne Clifton will mainly do Choreography Corner then, but when she has performances in the musical theatre, she'll be replaced by her brother Kevin then so he's also back


Fleur did alright i thought her first ITT co-host day




Angela R & Kai tonight on ITT :flutter: Kai is literally just perfect for her, they have a ballroom, not sure which one, but we'll find out tonight

[Nicky91]

Angela Rippon came across fantastic last night, and another leg move on the sofa :clap1:


she's only 4 years younger than Kai's granddad :laugh: they have amazing chemistry




Bobby never watched strictly before :omgno: what, thanks to his dad :fan:



Eddie really again gives us Eddie Murphy looks vibes :flutter: he and Karen get along so well already too, good laughs

[Nicky91]

guest performer of Week 2 results show on sunday

The amazing singer-songwriter Jorja Smith will also be performing in the Ballroom.


and in the group dance

It’s the first results show of the series, and it opens with an incredible group number medley in tribute to the iconic Tina Turner. The routine guest-stars Beverley Knight, Laura Mvula & Fleur East alongside our professional dancers.


Tina Turner tribute

[Nicky91]

Krishnan is so lovely :love: also his acoustic bit of their foxtrot song in training, CUTE

bring the guitar on saturday i'd say yeah



Les is a sweetheart, he and Nancy are a lovely pair too

[Kate!]

Krishnan is fairly handsome for an older guy.

[Nicky91]

what are we expecting tonight


idk if you guys had seen ITT, but anyways if you haven't, i can tease we are in for quite a lot of treats of performances this week


no one really seemed bad from the bits of training footage we saw


the friday panel was divided on who's going home

Beverley: Les
OJ: Jody
Suzi: Les


----
we saw a sneak peek of the Tina Turner tribute group dance for tomorrow's result show, looks fun too



--
who do we think will open the show this week

i'm thinking maybe Nikita (sassy beyonce charleston) or Layton (oldschool showman-ish quickstep)

as a show closer maybe Bobby (the better of the two charlestons) or Jody (his ACDC Paso as it's gonna be FIRE, teased by Jowita, would make a strong finish to the show possibly)


deathslotted: Zara me thinks, and possibly Ellie (Foxtrot also isn't too standout, so will likely be used before or after some of the more entertaining ones)

[Nicky91]

Les's samba seems to be staged quite well i think from what i could see, going full on boat or cruise theme


am curious if he's gonna shout ''Man Overboard'' or something, they were talking about that on ITT last thursday, would be clever to do, moments like that are always vote winners (remember Jeremy Vine's go west tango, on his horse ''i'm here, cuz i wanna dance with you'')

[Nicky91]

next week movie week, i hope something from Descendants is used :fc: there are good songs in those films

[Kate!]

17 minutes.....

[Kate!]

Bobby so much better than week 1. Good performance.

[Vanessa]

Good, but he could have given it more welly.
I'd give it a 7.

[Kate!]

Very good Annabel

[Vanessa]

Hate that staging, but good quickstep.

[Kate!]

She'll get 6s

[Vanessa]

Will Mellor in the audience!

[Kate!]

That was worth more than a 4

[joeysteele]

Annabel was my top one last week.
This was a little flat for me sadly tonight

Bobby was really good, the lifts and other sequences of the routine but it just needed more continuous flow all the time.

[Vanessa]

A 4? Bit mean!

[Kate!]

Jody. Not very good at all.

[Vanessa]

No shaping whatsoever.

[joeysteele]

Oh dear.
I liked Jody last week too.
This didn't make it tonight at all unfortunately however.

[Kate!]

Oh dear.
I liked Jody last week too.
This didn't make it tonight at all unfortunately however.

It felt like they were trying to copy Nigel and Katya from last week, and failing miserably.

[joeysteele]

It felt like they were trying to copy Nigel and Katya from last week, and failing miserably.

They didn't get anywhere near that performance last week, I agree.

[Vanessa]

Love Ellie. That's was really fun.

[Kate!]

Ellie Best female

[joeysteele]

Ellie was better.
Really liked that.

[Kate!]

Can't wait to see this from Nigel and Katya

[joeysteele]

Nice, liked that a lot.

[Kate!]

What you on about Shirley?

[Kate!]

Tell her Craig. :love:

[joeysteele]

This looks rather stiff.

[Kate!]

That was great. Big improvement.

Don't think it's enough to save her though.

[Vanessa]

Lucky Katya. I so wanted to be in her place :joker:

[arista]

18 low score

[joeysteele]

Oh please, what on earth is this.

[Kate!]

Oh please, what on earth is this.

This is a shambles. If he doesn't go.home people are not voting for the right reasons

[Vanessa]

That was a complete dance disaster, darling!

[joeysteele]

Shirley seems to have an obsession with 1000% tonight

[AnnieK]

Les was hilarious.... it was like watching my Dad :laugh:

[joeysteele]

That was a complete dance disaster, darling!

It really was.

[Kate!]

1 point

[Kate!]

Les was hilarious.... it was like watching my Dad :laugh:

Sadly people will vote for him 😔

[Vanessa]

Les was hilarious.... it was like watching my Dad :laugh:

I know he's trying, but that was spectacularly bad!

[arista]

15 low score for Les

[Kate!]

If he stays week after week because people find it funny, that'll pee me off.

[Vanessa]

Adam better than last week. At least he's improving.

[joeysteele]

Quite liked Adam too.

[Kate!]

Adam improved quite a lot

[Kate!]

That was great from Amanda

[joeysteele]

I can't really judge Sambas or Salsas as I can't stand those dances.
That however was very lively

[Kate!]

Krishnan not as good as last week

[Vanessa]

Absolutely loved him last week. But that wasn't great.

[Kate!]

Wasn't overly impressed with Eddie

[Vanessa]

Not great.

[joeysteele]

Not good the last 2.
Krishnan and Eddie.

[Kate!]

Well done Zara

[Vanessa]

Zara better than last week.

[joeysteele]

That was pretty good.

[arista]

Newsreader got 20

[joeysteele]

A strong jive.

[hijaxers]

Not mad on Angela Scanlon, way to loud and over the top but that was a really good performance.

[Kate!]

A strong jive.

Yes, was quite impressed with that.

[Kate!]

Boring

[joeysteele]

Quite classy from Angela R.

[joeysteele]

That was powerful.

[Lmmac2711]

Hi all

[Mystic Mock]

My opinion of the dances.

Bobby & Diane - Charleston - It was definitely an odd Charleston imo, he danced it okay I guess, but I don't think that the song choice helped my personal enjoyment of the dance as it didn't sound like a very Charleston like song in my view.

Annabel & Johannes - Quickstep - Tbh I can't really remember it very well, so I'll just move on.:laugh:

Jody & Jowita - Paso Doble - Unfortunately I was right in my feeling that the dance didn't suit Jody very well. He was very stiff imo, and he appears to be too mild mannered to pull off the more outgoing nature of the Paso Doble.

Ellie & Vito - The Foxtrot isn't really my thing, but Ellie is showing herself to be a decent dancer tbf.

Nigel & Katya - Viennese Waltz - I personally thought that Nigel did well, obviously not as good as his Paso, but still a solid effort I felt.

Nikita & Gorka - Charleston - In my view Nikita is just not a very good dancer from what she's showed so far. With all due respect but she comes off as very awkward during her performances so far. I feel like there's less excuses for her poor performances as well compared to some of the other contestants in the competition.

Les & Nancy - Samba - A stunning Samba, one that will never be forgotten.:joker:

Adam & Luba - Tango - I liked the dance despite it's flaws, I hope that the Strictly poll is correct and that he scrapes through the night, because imo he showed more potential to get better compared to some of the other contestants.

Amanda & Giovanni - Salsa - Imo a very good Salsa dance from Amanda, I feel like she impressed me the most on the night, I get that some people take issue with her Political views, but just judging her on her dancing tonight I thought that she did very well, and very confident.

Krishnan & Lauren - Foxtrot - I found it to be by the numbers tbh.

Eddie & Karen - Cha Cha Cha - I thought that the dance was reasonably fun.

Zara & Graziano - Quickstep - She's a stunner to look at.:flutter:

But on the dance I'd say that she was better than her first dance, but not really an amazing dancer from what I've seen so far.

Angela S & Carlos - Jive - A very fun performance, and the song choice made me laugh for a Show like Strictly.:joker:

Angela R & Kai - Foxtrot - Tbf she isn't bad for her age.

However I will say that modern Strictly Seasons has a bad habit of taking a contestant that's "not bad" for insert whatever reason, and overscore them to oblivion.

But definitely not bad compared to some of the contestants on the night.

Layton & Nikita - Quickstep - Technically a well done dance.

I thought it was a decent episode, I still think that Bobby is the winner, but I'm interested to see if Strictly can actually surprise me on that prediction, because the Rose & Hamza years were rigged coronation years.

[Mystic Mock]

Hi all

Hello.

What did you think of the performances?

[Lmmac2711]

Hello.

What did you think of the performances?

Bobby and ellie were my favs but I voted for Adam and luba

[Mystic Mock]

Bobby and ellie were my favs but I voted for Adam and luba

Fair enough.

Going by one of the Strictly polls I saw, I think that you might've made the correct decision to give Adam the vote out of your favourites.

[Nicky91]

my thoughts and scores

Bobby & Dianne: wow wow wow, perfection, one of the best charlestons i've ever seen! 10

Annabel & Jojo: judges were way too harsh (on everyone) this was good, few moments of gapping but they overlooked it back then for Abbey but now they comment on it i enjoyed it 8

Jody & Jowita: YEAH ROCK ON, this was FIRE!!!! perfect attitude from Jody from this dance, and a paso is mainly walking though Craig :idc: 9

Ellie & Vito: A-MA-ZING 10

Nigel & Katya: Shirley bore off you moaning **** this was gorgeous 9

Nikita & Gorka: no swivels, it was far too much all over the place, very lame moves as if ur in a karaoke bar or nightclub, ur in danger me thinks 3

Les & Nancy: :worship: :worship: this was absolutely iconic 11 top class entertainment

Adam & Luba: forgettable, well danced but forgettable 5 although some places reminded me of Mark Foster's attempt at that what was it, rock paso

Amanda & Giovanni: HOT HOT HOT, contenders i'd say 8

Krishnan & Lauren: i enjoyed it, it was fun, there is something very loveable about him, puts a smile on my face 8

Eddie & Karen: it was a nice whatever it was of a latin dance, as a cha cha it was bad though, no straightened leg action whatsoever, no cuban breaks either, but it was a nice latin dance-ish 7

Zara & Graziano: 100% improvements from last week, lovely lift, spin too very fast, very proper quickstep, wow 10

Angela S & Carlos: same as Nikita, way too all over the place, also wrong song choice, sped up kinda ruins it, flatfooted, nah not my cup of tea 3

Angela R & Kai: one of the best ballrooms i've ever seen, sophisticated, classy, divine and oh so beautiful, Yum Yum as Len would've said 9

Layton & Nikita: it just lacks something for me, something what John & Johannes, Nicolas & Vadim did have, that extra bit of magic, not too surprising him scoring well, mr i went to dance school and have loads of west end experience, he won't win thankfully, boring 5

[Nicky91]

Ellie is a new superstar in the making!!!!!!


same as Zendaya (whom wasn't famous at all when she did DWTS) can see Ellie going same superstardom route tbh


she has potential for something like Marvel or Disney

[Vanessa]

This was Nigel first ballroom. I loved it.
He will definitely get better.
I want a movie week jive.

[Vanessa]

Shirley was so rude to Nigel. There was no need for it. It's only week two! :fist:

[Vanessa]

Ellie is a new superstar in the making!!!!!!


same as Zendaya (whom wasn't famous at all when she did DWTS) can see Ellie going same superstardom route tbh


she has potential for something like Marvel or Disney
Love love love Nigel and Ellie.
Both really down to earth as well.

[joeysteele]

Shirley was so rude to Nigel. There was no need for it. It's only week two! :fist:

Shirley has shown a negative side to her in the last 2 series.
As a head judge too, she shouldn't be standing up and applauding some and not others.
That's not being professional at all.

[Vanessa]

Shirley has shown a negative side to her in the last 2 series.
As a head judge too, she shouldn't be standing up and applauding some and not others.
That's not being professional at all.
Felt for Eddie. He doesn't choreograph the dances. Karen does. But I actually liked the dance and I thought Shirley was unfair.

[Vanessa]

You need to encourage the celebs.
No need to be nasty, just tell them what they need to work on.

[Vanessa]

This is why I love Anton. He's always so positive and encouraging. He'll tell you what you need to improve on, but he's never nasty.

[Nicky91]

omg Angela Rippon that iconic classic tune from Sound of Music

Do-Re-Mi

:flutter:


Eddie & Karen to the Men in Black :dance:

[Vanessa]

I'd love Nigel to dance jive to Footloose!
Or something from a Bond movie.
So I can see him all dressed up!

[Vanessa]

Why is Adam getting the ridiculous theme? Poor guy!

[Nicky91]

Why is Adam getting the ridiculous theme? Poor guy!

it's a fun tune, deffo a good tune for a Charleston

the Super Mario Bros


was used before on DWTS US


Adam makes a wonderful choice as Mario :cool:

[Nicky91]

am looking forward to tomorrow night



btw sundays Barbie group dance we have Dianne playing barbie and Gorka plays ken



am curious what tomorrows opening group dance will be, maybe a medley of films :think:

[Nicky91]

i wouldn't be too sad to see Nikita go, she ain't that good


and tbh out of the hot bombshells, i want Zara to stay much longer, think her puss in boots paso might be one of the positive surprises of the night


that music is so amazing traditional paso vibes


btw the voice actor of the puss in boots is Antonio Banderas :D and the character Zara will play is voiced by Salma Hayek

[Kate!]

On now!

[Kate!]

Nigel up first

[Kate!]

Slay it Nigel

[AnnieK]

That was soo cheesy but good

[Kate!]

Amy looks beautiful

[joeysteele]

It wasn't one of the best Jives.
However warranted more than 6 as scores.

[Kate!]

Underscored

[joeysteele]

That was a right mess to me.

[Kate!]

Angela will be overscored again.

[Kate!]

Angela getting more than Nigel. Bull****.

[Kate!]

This should be good. Zara.

[joeysteele]

Angela getting more than Nigel. Bull****.

I agree, those scores should have been the other way round.
Although I'd have still given Nigel 7.

[Kate!]

Loved that

[Kate!]

Craig being mean

[Kate!]

If these don't beat Angela I swear.

[Kate!]

Unbe****inglievable

[Kate!]

Angela the judges pet

[joeysteele]

I wasn't keen on that Paso.
Strong performance though.

[Kate!]

Get in. Well done Layton and Nikita

[joeysteele]

Oh dear, I must be in a poor mood, I didn't like that either.

[Kate!]

Oh dear, I must be in a poor mood, I didn't like that either.

I hope the next pair do really well. It's a shame when it's movie week

[joeysteele]

I hope the next pair do really well. It's a shame when it's movie week

Ash yes, maybe it's because I'm not too keen on movie week.
Something about the music chosen.:joker:

[joeysteele]

Oh good grief, what's this ?

[Kate!]

Oh good grief, what's this ?

The crowd went wild, what's wrong with them.I agree with you Joey btw

[Kate!]

Really really overscored :idc:

[joeysteele]

Crikey. 9s REALLY????

[Kate!]

Crikey. 9s REALLY????

Dear God. So not deserved.

[joeysteele]

I liked that.
So it will likely get 5s, since I liked it

[Kate!]

Now then, that was a superb performance

[Kate!]

Shush Craig

[hijaxers]

Very nice performance deserves good marks.

[Kate!]

Very nice performance deserves good marks.

Yes Jax. Deserves to top the board so far. But Craig's score will not be high sadly.

[hijaxers]

Yes Jax. Deserves to top the board so far. But Craig's score will not be high sadly.

Well you are exactly right Kate too low a score from Craig.

[Kate!]

Well done Nikita. Much improved.

[joeysteele]

The Jive is supposed to really fast and energetic.
That was more like a stroll.
Sorry like

[Kate!]

The Jive is supposed to really fast and energetic.
That was more like a stroll.

Think she's in danger again this week.

[Kate!]

Ellie is amazing

[hijaxers]

Think she's in danger again this week.

Yeah me to , i thought it was a pretty awful jive.

[joeysteele]

I think Ellie is becoming my favourite this series.
Really loved that

[Kate!]

I think Ellie is becoming my favourite this series.
Really loved that

I love her.

[Kate!]

Bobby and Dianne slayed. His best performance yet.

[joeysteele]

I don't like Sambas but that was superb.

[Kate!]

Underscored. Should have got 9s.

[joeysteele]

Underscored. Should have got 9s.

I agree.

[Kate!]

Jodys not really very good. This bored me.

[joeysteele]

The routine and music was sleep inducing.

[Kate!]

Jody bottom of the board and its deserved

[Kate!]

Eddie and Karen smashed it

[joeysteele]

It was rather good but it didn't really do much for me
This will likely get top marks

[Kate!]

It was rather good but it didn't really do much for me
This will likely get top marks

Yep and I think Bobby was better even though I did like Eddie. Bobby should be top tonight imo.

[Kate!]

No way. If that got a ten then so should Bobby have.

[Denver]

We know whose Dick Shirley is trying to suck now

[joeysteele]

Good grief.
A 10 from a so called head judge.
She is so unprofessional

[Vanessa]

That did not deserve a 10.

[Kate!]

It definitely should not have got a 10. Sigh.

[Kate!]

That was quite lovely. I'd give it 8.

[joeysteele]

It was pretty good.

[Kate!]

Last but not least. Adam.

[joeysteele]

What's gone wrong with the Jives tonight .

Never seen a Jive ever come anywhere near the one Jay did in that series

[Kate!]

Very enthusiastic. Not too bad a performance

[Kate!]

OK. So my top 3 performances of the night

1 Bobby
2 Ellie
3 Nigel

Worst

Angela R
Krishnan
Jody

[Kate!]

Oh didn't realise Krishnan was Still to perform.

Yes, my bad. Oops.

[joeysteele]

Hate this song.
It does my head in.

Oh snap Joey. It's godawful.

[Kate!]

That was crap

[joeysteele]

My top 3.
Bobby.
Ellie.
Nigel (because I like the Jive as a dance and his was the best of all the Jives tonight for me).

[hijaxers]

Love the song, love the film and he performed loads better.

[joeysteele]

That was crap

It was awful. I agree.

[Kate!]

My top 3.
Bobby.
Ellie.

No way was that better than quite a few others tonight. Bugger off judges.

[Kate!]

I've voted

[Mystic Mock]

i wouldn't be too sad to see Nikita go, she ain't that good


and tbh out of the hot bombshells, i want Zara to stay much longer, think her puss in boots paso might be one of the positive surprises of the night


that music is so amazing traditional paso vibes


btw the voice actor of the puss in boots is Antonio Banderas :D and the character Zara will play is voiced by Salma Hayek

Zara's a stunner imo.

But her dancing is questionable imo.:joker:

She seems nice though.
