2 7's for Dan. Great.

yes, very happy about that score for that lovely quickstep, also a lovely touching tribute to Louise Minchin, nice she had left him a video message either :love:

am super excited for Rose this week, am only expecting perfection for their tango now

I am loving this year's line up and there's no one I really don't like. I think the woman from Dragon's Den is going first, she was the worst of a fantastic bunch for me, but even she wasn't terrible.

she was terrible, and ew i can't look at her without giving me chills

also lol at ''dream a little dream of me'' um no thank you Sara, since that would be a nightmare

i am sorry if i ''hate'' on Sara

but i would indeed hate if one of Tilly, Katie, Ugo, Dan leaves and Sara end up staying in another week

It's a bit harsh to say that you can't look at her.:laugh:

Watch out with Ugo, I feel that he is a sitting duck for the first elimination imo.

Ugo & Oti are such a lovely pair :love:

their quickstep training, the bit what i saw out of hold looked nicely in sync, and it looks like he is having such a good time which is also fab to see

Sara & Aljaz at this morning, sneak peek at their frame hold too for this week

tonight week 2 begins at 6:45

length for tonight's show is 2 hours, 15 minutes

2 hours and 5 minutes to go till week 2 show

The competition stars tonight! So excited! :cheer2:

SO chufft for Sara! Aced that.

What a turnaround!

Really good show.
I really liked all of them, strong effort put in by all

Rose and Giovanni were fantastic tonight!

My rankings of tonight's performances.

1. John & Johannes
2. Nina & Neil - Surprise of the night for me.
3. Robert & Dianne
4. AJ & Kai - Technically a very impressive dance.
5. Katie & Gorka
6. Dan & Nadiya
7. Adam & Katya - It was an okay dance, but overscored in my view.
8. Rose & Giovanni - Shirley was harsh giving her a 4 imo.
9. Tom & Amy
10. Ugo & Oti
11. Rhys & Nancy - Technically a good dance, but just not to my personal preference.
12. Greg & Karen
13. Judi & Graziano
14. Tilly & Nikita
15. Sara & Aljaz - Whoa!:laugh:

Tbf it was a good show, and they all seem to come across well to me personally.

My Ranking of tonight's performances.

1. Tilly & Nikita (+13)
2. Robert & Dianne (+1)
3. John & Johannes (-2)
4. Judi & Graziano (+9)
5. Rhys & Nancy (+6)
6. Dan & Nadiya (Non-Mover)
7. Rose & Giovanni (+1)
8. Ugo & Oti (+2)
9. AJ & Kai (-5)
10. Sara & Karen (+5) - Just not my type of dance tbh, and I do personally feel like it was overscored if judging it against other Foxtrot's anyway. Although having said all of that it's obviously still an improvement on her first dance.
11. Adam & Katya (-4)
12. Greg & Karen (Non-Mover) - I don't mean to be disrespectful here, but the judges are overscoring Greg a little bit imo.
13. Katie & Gorka (-8)
14. Nina & Neil (-12)

Overall I felt like the night got better as it went along.

I really really want to see Rhys jive. I feel like this could be his dance. He has the right energy for it.
Some celebs messed up tonight, while others stepped up.
Sarah was wonderful.

Quote:

Rhys & Nancy Cha-Cha-Cha: i fully agreed with Anton, Craig i also thought there wasn't good hip action, i myself felt like some moves were so robotic, forced 6

Nina & Neil Tango: it lacked attack in some parts, not to forget how she nearly fell over, not her finest hour 4

Adam & Katya Quickstep: sorry for my inner Len now but too much faffing about, too long sitting down, would've liked to see more content throughout, and indeed i also saw the gapping, maybe just not his dance that's ok 5

Katie & Gorka Jive: i agreed with my dad, how it needed to look more crisp, clean from her side, since Gorka was clearly outdancing her, performance wise the idea was good behind this choreo and setting, but the execution was very poor from her side but that's ok since she is clearly a novice 4

Greg & Karen Couples Choice: ok i am going to be controversial now but i really loved the combination of contemporary and disco here, dance wise i thought he danced most of the disco basics quite well, the armography, and i always respect a celeb male and especially the novices who take on lifts in early weeks proper lifts either, wow 8

John & Johannes Cha Cha Cha: far better CCC than Rhys, more latin hip action throughout, not too forced but very clean movements across most of the floor, very difficult song choice either to stay on point with the music, that is quite amazing he stayed on point every single time 9

AJ & Kai Foxtrot: AJ is a superstar, but i am really liking Kai more and more, you are making me forget of Kevin more and more, lovely simplistic choreo either 9

Robert & Dianne Tango: loads of attack, compared to Nina's tango, traditional music really helps you more than other music in dances like these, they both looked stunning either 8

Judi & Graziano Samba: sorry not sorry but i loved it, even if it wasn't technically perfect, i saw loads of hip action anyway, this was a entertaining samba, so sassy, great chemistry either 8

Rose & Giovanni Salsa: all of the salsa basics danced well, but here's the bad part, every time you enter a lift, it breaks up the performance into 3 pieces, would've liked lesser lifts and more salsa action, more rhythm since what she danced was phenomenal, and on time either with music/beat which is amazing for a girl like her 8

Sara & Aljaz Foxtrot: Aljaz is a miracle worker, from crap to almost perfection in one week, omg wow wow wow, only downpart for me i didn't like Sara's dress 9

Dan & Nadiya Paso Doble: good choice from Nadiya going for Gladiator theme rather than a normal Paso, that saved this performance for me, Dan really played the part very well, and the Paso all in all is a very tricky dance, good job #TeamWalkova 8

Ugo & Oti Quickstep: fast, light (surprisingly light for a former rugby player) full of personality, lovely smile he got too, good chemistry he has with Oti as well 7

Tilly & Nikita Charleston: bit clumsy but in this dance i don't mind that, since this is also bit of slapstick comedy somehow, i liked those swivels they looked good, Tilly's personality is also very lovely, hope she can also take this fun personality into most of the party latins, her chemistry with Nikita is very amazing, and Nikita's choreo has improved big time, far less basic by far than on german lets dance, i loved it, and forgive me but i have to give it 10!

my comments and scores of last night

if people do not vote enough, they have no rights to complain if their fave is eliminated

i didn't even like Nina's samba, i preferred Ugo's samba last week more recognizable samba steps even if some of those were wrong or in reverse

BoJo being a fan of strictleh

i appreciate that from Boris a lot, great discussion he and Dan had on breakfast regarding the show :love: :love:

would personally love if BBC also decides to do a Impro dance extreme, a second or third dance draw live in the show, would test our couples the basic skills some more within little amount of time

also would love if they can do a pro challenge show after the final, and winning duo one of them getting to choose his/her celeb for next series (another thing i love on german lets dance either)

Rhys is going to top that leaderboard this week.
That dance has the potential to be spectacular!
