I have her. She prizes her favourites and puts down the rest

Lively routine that one.

Yes, I know what you mean.
She's really unfair at times.

[joeysteele]

Hmm, that was okay.

[Vanessa]

That was ok, but it didn't wow me

[joeysteele]

That was okay but not one of the strongest Charlestons.

[Vanessa]

Where was the swivel?

[Vanessa]

Vicky is so very annoying

[joeysteele]

Hmm, sorry I don't like the Samba as a dance.
I guess it was okay.

[joeysteele]

Not particularly good was that one.

[joeysteele]

A bit of a messy Salsa that was for me.

[Barry.]

He’s always had rhyme like Amber bet he scores high

[joeysteele]

Another great show from Lewis.

[Vanessa]

Omg Lewis that was absolutely incredible! I'm so proud of my boy!

[joeysteele]

This could get a ten

[Adamw92]

Lewis did well but I can’t help comparing it to Danny Mac’s superior Zorro inspired Paso.

I don't believe that she will.

Lewis is the bigger threat out of the two ringers imo.

She's coming across a little too desperate in wanting to be liked by the public imo.

She seems nice enough though imo.

Lewis was obviously the best of the night but I still find him a bizarre mix of boring and a "show-off" lol

Jimmy was fantastic, and also enjoyed Karen, La Voix, Amber and Balvinder.

Thought Alex was a bit stiff... and George's routine was awful, especially for a CC. My bottom 2 of the night would be Ross and Chris though, need to get rid of both so the real competition can begin.

…I was able to watch some of this yesterday…crikey I’m hooked already…I actually didn’t get to see Lewis’ dance, though…I was thinking that Jimmy might be the ‘dark horse’, I loved his dance yesterday…..and La Voix also was gorgeous, she’s not a Queen that I’m familiar with from her season but she’s a comedy Queen…?…her waltz not really her comfort zone but such a beautiful waltz to watch……and especially challenging for someone who has never worn a wig before ever…and that extra challenge of worrying it’ll stay in its place through the dance, she met that challenge beautifully……

my Movie Week thoughts and scores

Amber & Nikita: very much enjoyed this, super stunning lifts and tricks, i did notice some lip sync but i forgive her just because it's movie week and all in all brilliant footwork 9

Chris & Nadiya: much much better than the last two weeks, that was a decent paso for a novice good fun 6

George & Alexis: underscored if you ask me, all in all it was very uplifting, okay technique wise, quite a lot of times out of sync while in hip hop you should always be in sync but entertaining performance 8

La Voix & Aljaz: a nice danced waltz, but at the end of the day a waltz remains a waltz, nothing more you can do with that 7

Ross & Jowita: OMG YASSSSSSSS Timeless ICONIC one for the history books, technically maybe not perfect, but from that hopeless duffer in week 1 to actually trying to dance, RESPECT 6

Balvinder & Julian: so many flaws this routine had, way too little focus on the in hold dancing and what was there in hold was just bad, and the out of hold content i also saw some problems with the footwork, no not her finest hour 5

Karen & Carlos: not many straightened legs whatsoever what a cha cha requires, indeed craig, her free arm also looked awkward rather than positioning it properly, this was bad 4

Jimmy & Lauren: the dance of death for a male celebrity, well not today, that was full of drama, i actually am looking forward to when he gets to do the tango and argentine tango now, so much passion and chemistry in this rumba, YASSSS GET IN 9

Vicky & Kai: no swivels whatsoever, however most hilarious thing was Kai doing DiCaprio's famous glass raising moment in the opening of the routine, apart from no swivels that was otherwise a decent slapstick variant of a charleston, not bad but not great either 6

Ellie & Vito: that samba bounce! those volta's! those botafogo's! that tribal bit near the end of the routine, great routine 8

Alex & Johannes: Alex was perfectly divine as Meryl! dance wise, she makes it seem so effortless, so easy to watch, wow 9

Harry & Karen: idk about anyone else, but for me, this is one of my favourite Salsa's on Strictly EVER! thankfully not an overload of lifts, but also plenty of salsa dance content, those african tribal moves especially fitted so well with the salsa, main technique is rhythm, fluidity throughout the hips and dancing it into the ground, while in cha cha you need straightened legs and in samba you need bend knees, anyway that was gorgeous 9

Lewis & Katya: speechless, i literally was speechless 10!

[Nicky91]

Lewis with dance experience

or

Ross, Chris as beginners




with the same dance this week


i thought Ross's shapings were excellent somehow, i saw clear spanish lines, or at least a good effort at that


better than Chris's, although Chris's was danced more but lacked spanish lines

Lewis is another one I hope doesn’t win. It should be someone who had no experience at all

[arista]

Who will go tonight?
