True. He should put some meat on those bones and disguise that thin neck somehow

everyone will struggle i guess, and that is good, cause no success comes easy, i believe Lauren has the right competitive hard working mentality


struggling is good, it just depends on how you cope with that ;)

well said Nicky :clap2:

she will struggle with Latin and if the chemistry does not improve there could be trouble ahead . She needs some of the Debbie McGee stardust quality

she has good Chemistry with AJ, she got praise from the judges for that


and btw Lauren is new to this showbiz glamour world, and overall she is well liked, i read many positive comments on social media for her, and also on YouTube

she will struggle with the latin dances, but others will struggle as well

Nicky you're so easy to bait :hehe:

My new fave Swanny I think will be the star of week 2

:fc:

it's because i'm Always so passionate and emotional for those who i like


and i don't get why he needs to bash Lauren all the time, since strictly is supposed to be a light hearted entertainment show


Ashley Roberts for example is already friends with Lauren, she did wish her good luck at paratriathlon world cup for example, and Faye went to training with her and aj :hee:

you contradict yourself by being passionate and emotion about what is just a lighthearted ents show

you cant have it both ways

Ashley Roberts, Faye Tozer are certain finalists already :smug: as judges faves and odds faves you won't eliminate early on anyway, nothing can go wrong for them

:cheer2: :cheer2: :dance:

Glad to see you have ceremoniously dumped AJ and Lauren

did not take long

:fan:

i didn't dump them for real LOL


just trying to be more positive on here, and Lauren isn't discussed on here, so i need to have other faves than my real faves here

I thought Ashley Roberts was going to be my favourite but it's actually Faye! she was amazing on Saturday

Faye,Ashley,Stacey and Danny are my favs. I'm surprised at Ranj doing good probably the biggest surprise atm :skull:

Joe has the Charleston. One of my favourite dances. I think it will suit him and he's going to smash it.

He's not bad looking. Just a bit skinny. I bet he can do swxy, no problem.

He suits fast dances better . But Diane is a great teacher. I'm sure he will learn ballroom.

Joe is gonna slay Charleston, and the Jive was amazing. I think they're gonna be his best dances which is actually a shame because if Dianne isn't careful then Joe will be at risk of peaking way too early and it won't help him in the long run.

The slower dances will be his downfall and if Dianne has them all planned for the later stages and does them all together he is seriously at risk.

10 million people watched last weeks show, when our couples performed for the first time :flutter:

I think he can learn ballroom. But im not sure how good he will be at it.

lets face it Susannah is going home

Diane is a good teacher. If there's someone who can teach Joe ballroom, she can.

I don't know, Anton has a lot of fans. They will vote for him even the routine was bad.

true

i just wish they would not shackle him with the joke act each year

I think he's very a very capable pro and could teach Susannah. But she's going to need a lot of work. Ballroom will suit her better.

i think either Susannah (given that negative article in the media for her about her supporting hunting animals) or Vick (who disappointed a lot, she came in as a odds fave and i think she will be in the danger zone mix) or Seann but i think the GBP rather stand behind him as comedy act of the year than Susannah & Anton

updated the discussion thread title with the time details for tonight's week 2 show :dance2:

Bye I just watched Vick's dance from last week and Graziano is a terrible pro :joker: He was worse than she was and trying to make it all about himself I'm screaming

training clip i saw from Vick, i didn't like the moment she was on her own, it felt a bit musical, so i hope in the actual performance tonight there is a lot of basic waltz content, that is what she needs now after last weeks disaster

back to basics Graziano :fist:

.

tbf i personally would use Cotton Eyed Joe for a Jive, not for a charleston


for charleston i would use the more jazzy/swing sort of music, just to get that great gatsby, 1920's feeling

postmodern jukebox their music is perfect for charlestons, cause a) it's well known current music and b) it has that jazz/swing great gatsby 1920 vibe


but anyhow i hope to enjoy both Joe and Lauren their charlestons, for their own sort of personalities and unique performances :love:

has lauren got much of a personality is what people are asking?

really need to see some chemistry tonight or they could be near the bottom

:worry:

I think the song is perfect for joe. I trust Diane, she knows what she's doing. She did wonders with the Reverend last year.

aaah look

omfg :facepalm:
thought she had more taste than that

She dumped him anyway

if you can't see the Chemistry, well i don't understand it, their personalities are so similar, they are already looking like a solid pairing, and not just by me, but many agree with me, and the live audience in ITT also really liked them :love:

so Faye is a homewrecker :notimpressed:

...no :umm2:

If you are going o accuse her of something at least make sure you know the meaning of the word you use

i just find it weird, why marry that guy and then not long after dumping him :umm2:
