rumba would be good for Lauren, and also good if she can get a difficult dance early on out of the way, and i think her rumba could be very classy and charming, and AJ does good choreographies as we had seen last year with Mollie's grease rumba which was also quite nice

An American smooth would be good for him. To show more of his personality.

yeah, Joe was a good laugh and surprise of the evening last night for me, i gave a 7 because i didn't want to overscore him myself


i gave Susannah a 6 because she did give effort to the difficult dance that is the samba, and i thought anton was worse than her, she was still better than Ann Widdecombe who didn't give effort at all in her performances

i was ranting at Craig when he gave the 1

[Crimson Dynamo]

I was very impressed with Swanny - he has good feet

[Twosugars]

Overall very good

Danny, I so would

[Crimson Dynamo]

Ashley was one of the better daces of the night

[Nicky91]

Once upon a time.... a princess waltzed in such a pretty dress, to a beautiful song, led by a Prince @aj11ace words cannot describe how surreal last night felt...can’t quite believe i waltzed after being so worried! Thank you AJ and everyone who supported us! Your words are very kind

lovely words from Lauren after her first dance

Dr Ranj was a surprise too, and could be an underdog.

[Strictly Jake]

Without reading the rest of this thread

Just wanted to say the cast this year are shaping it up nicely

My favourite performances not all of them for the right reasons were

Seann, Joe, Dr Ranj and Ashley

[Nicky91]

Joe came over more surprising, we all expected Faye to be great i guess, so that was more predictable

I just get the feeling that faye is going to be overmarked. Because she's friends with two of the judges.

Faye is getting to the final along with Ashley it's so predictable .

yes exactly


in a few more weeks we'll be able to discuss more who are the best i think, cause some of them are journey contestants who also have potential to go far

Kate & Aljaz (with more training, improvements) Lauren & AJ (if she could deliver a gorgeous waltz after just 2 training days, what can she do fully committed after a week of training for the next dances)


Vick well maybe she still also has potential to do well, if they can work together as a team

[Morgan.]

Nicky just because I disagreed with you doesn't mean you need to put Ashley in your favourites? Remember when you promised this wouldn't happen again ...

[Nicky91]

Joe was the surprise of the evening for me, i only gave a 7 because for beginners like him, Lauren i find anything above that too high for these early weeks for me personally

I think he was undermarked. They gave Faye an 8, Joe was better and got a 7. Urgh

[LaLaLand]

Stacey though >>>>

[Vanessa]

Diane is doing great with Joe and i love their partnership already. They work so well together!

[Nicky91]

Lauren has either Salsa or Charleston, AJ had revealed some details on his weekly radio stoke interview, it will be a fast fun dance with tricky lifts

i hope Salsa, since that would be a safer choice to go with for week 2 i guess, since she does know some traditional salsa techniques, different from strictly version of the salsa but still, maybe that could be nice some traditional salsa technique and good difficult lifts

The Dame was on radio 2 this morning says Lauren will struggle with latin

She obvs loves Faye

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

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yes well Darcie knows a wee bit more about it than you

and she will struggle

[Nicky91]

she will improve her latin i guess as weeks go by


but i do believe in Lauren, just similar to how you believe in your Faye

[Nicky91]

i don't give a damn whatever that vile darcey bussell says
