Hello and welcome to Strictly Come DS! Tonight our 11 dancers will dance the Cha Cha Cha but with a twist!
Tonight one person will be eliminated and will not be able to dance their waltz, who that is will be up to the public vote.
But for tonight only I will not be revealing whose song is whose, instead I will be posting the songs with a random code name, you will then vote based on code name rather than username.
Let's get this show started!

Classic by MKTO
JUDGES SCORES:
Connor 6
Erin 7
Izzie 4
Danny 6
Danny:*well, this was hardly a classic, but for a first start it certainly wasn't outrageous. Not quite cheeky or latin for my liking, but overall, not bad!
That gives them a score of 23 out of 40, a very good score for week one!
Jerk It Out by Ceasers*
Connor 4
Erin 6
Izzie 4
Danny 7
Erin:*I thought that was brilliant, the pacing was slightly slow but you nailed that dance.
That gives them a score of 21.
Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus

This song is overused, it's an average Cha Cha at the best of times, but now it bores me. Must do better.
That gives Kangaroo a score of 13, will it be unlucky?
Bang Bang by David Sanborn
Connor 6
Erin 10
Izzie 5
Danny 6
Izzie:*A somewhat traditional Cha Cha Cha, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing! I thought it was a very considered first attempt at the Cha Cha Cha, and although I'd like to see you be a bit braver, I thought it was a good start.
With a 10 from Erin Osmond, Koala gets 27!
Summer Sunshine by The Corrs*
Connor 3
Erin 7

Erin:*You handled that song very well and you managed to keep your footing, the song choice is interesting too.
That gives them 23.
Angelina by Lou Bega
Connor 4
Erin 9
Izzie 5
Danny 5
Connor:*It was an OK choice, but I wasn't over keen if I'm being completely honest. It was very cheesy, a little bit novelty and quite annoying as the song went along.
La La Love by Ivi Adamou
Connor 5
Erin 8
Izzie 2
Danny 4
Danny:*I don't "La la love" it by any means, but all the same it was an okay opening gambit. There was a nice latin flare to it in places, more of the same in future rounds, just with a bit more oomph, and preferably less cheese!
Total of 19
Connor: 4
Erin: 7
Izzie: 6
Danny: 7
Izzie:*A blast from the past certainly, and it's nice to see you embracing a bit of cheese with your first routine of the series! The opening could have done with being cut out entirely, but once you actually got into the flow of the dance, I thought you brought a lot to the routine. Well done.
The power of A1 gets Melon 24 out of 40!
Real Love by Clean Bandit

Erin:*Incredible. Makes me want to get up and dance along with you too. Such an upbeat song too.
2,4,6, 8's but do you appreciate Raccoon? The judges give it 20
Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent by Gwen Guthrie
Connor 5
Erin 7
Izzie 5
Danny 6
Connor:*Hmm, the song choice for me was a little bit middle of the road. It wasn't particularly engaging or exciting but it wasn't terrible either. A good effort for your first week.*
That's a total of 23!
(No more Tears) Enough is Enough by Donna Summer ft Barbara Streisand
Connor 4
Erin 6
Izzie 3
Danny 7
Danny:*What an upbeat song! It took a while to get going, but once it did, it certainly had me tapping my feet and wanting to join in! A very pleasing effort!*
That's a total of 20!
