Ans we're back! Woooooooo :dance:

Matt goss and his hair free body first out please.

Fleur was the best in that group dance. She has good presence.
Will Mellor actually seems to have good rhytm there.
I think Kim and a few others also have potential.

my thoughts on the pairing in a ranking

1. Tony & Katya (am pleasantly surprised he got Katya, rather than Luba, i trust Katya as she has proven herself before with novices like with Ed, Mike as a clever choreographer, good teacher, and i've been warming up to her on celeb masterchef recently as well)
2. Matt & Nadiya (OMG OMG OMG, finally Nadiya getting herself a great one, a nice reward after last years good job with Dan the Man)
3. Ellie S & Nikita (will be a struggle for Nikita in terms of height in the ballrooms, but i think this could be a fun couple to watch)
4. Helen & Gorka (yass a good one for Gorks, going to be going far again i think)
5. Fleur & Vito (aljaz who? already forgotten about him now, Vito seems soooooo nice, charming and cute his mom got emotional about this next career move from him)
6. Will & Nancy (battle of actors, i deffo prefer Will over James, and great 2nd partner for Nancy, good contrast from hyperactive Rhys last year to a still fun yet more calmer Will)
7. Kym & Graziano (i really want Gethin to show up again backstage pls pls, the fun interviews that can come from that, but yeah this pairing was meant to be, they know each so well already from morning live)
8. Hamza & Jowita (will be an early boot ok, but am happy Jowita got herself a first partner in full series anyway, and hopefully she'll make a good enough impression for herself to stay for next year)
9. Jayde & Karen (a good last hurrah partner for Karen, and Jayde got potential to be a fun contestant)
10. Tyler & Dianne (TyDi :laugh3: well i hope she can break her week 4 curse with him, whom i get dev 2.0 vibes with, so please don't be too underwhelming)
11. Molly & Carlos (not sure here, but again just pleased we got another newbie male with a first partner, and if he is king of rumba, pls let him do a rumba soon then)
12. Ellie T & Johannes (LOL yeah JoJo cannot get lucky twice in a row with another contender male, so they give him this female version of last years rhys it seems, very hyperactive, and if that was her comedy best bits, her humour is not my humour lol)
13. James & Amy (are going to do well but i just find him dull, gives me serious Joe McFadden-ish vibes)
14. Richie & Giovanni (GOOD ON YOU Gio to also be more open to same-sex dancing, it is a nice extra challenge, Gio doing a Vadim, not taking to Richie so far i find him far tooo cringe over the top)
15. Kaye & Kai (wow what a contrast from last years AJ for him, mommy addams family is deffo the worst from the addams family, but who knows maybe she can prove me wrong like Sara did last year in week 2 :joker:)



soooooo yes, my fave is Tony for now, and in the group dance i thought what he did was just nice, nothing embarrassing or anything, showcasing bits of potential of a very charming, funny personality, contestant wise he gives me ''Brian Conley meets Graeme Swann'' vibe

cool VT too, to include his statue at the old arsenal stadium :love:

am excited for the first week show tonight :love:

him leaving first over the likes of a Kaye, Hamza, Richie


not going to happen by far


am expecting much from Matt and especially in the ballroom dances

Matt has a fanbase and I agree he will be great at ballroom. He's already so elegant and stylish.

american smooth is something he already has done, way longer time ago in a christmas special



:cool:

Ah, that looks so good. I can't wait!

I think fleur could pure win this. She just stands out.
I would love to see her dance a samba to her famous song :blush:

Tony dancing a tango to go west tonight


such a fab village people banger



3 Jive's (Kym, James, Will)


2 American Smooth's (Helen, Tyler)


2 samba's (Molly, Jayde)



Fleur having Abbey & Aljaz's Cha Cha song

Will is doing the jive. Canr wait to see it!

What time does.it start tonight? Am being lazy and asking rather than turning on the tv to check :laugh:

It starts at 18:45

Thank you :love:

Kaye looked scared through that....

Matt goss could have moved more smoothly with his waxed scrotum

And the midget... where on earth were all the lifts?

Helen was brilliant. Wow. My favourite so far.

Will Mellor. Wow wow wow
I knew he would be good, bur he's absolutely brilliant.
I found my favourite. He's so much fun!

Who is Hamza?

Hamza. What a shocker, he was brilliant!

I hate Will Mellor. He's an arrogant twat.

Really good show.
Marking ridiculous.

No one warranted 9s.
I've no favourite as yet, from tonight's performances.
I liked the vast majority of them however

Fluer east is my favourite.
