Not unless something goes disastrously wrong.

Natalie looked very strong in the training clips.

Indeed. Both Camilla and Shirley Ballas have had good things to say about Natalie - I can't see her being bad at all based on her training footage.

Natalie was quite good.

She did well and her dress suited her tonight wonder what she will be wearing tomorrow for the latin

She looked great and danced really well.

I thought she was really good tonight. Her dress looked lovely too. My only concern was the fact that Vincent looked as if he was having trouble getting his arm around her rather bulky top half, he is a small bloke after all - it looked a bit weird. But other than that, bravo.

Well done Natalie. I think she had a really good shot tonight.

Not exactly sure about her dress again though. I agree with the other poster (can't remember who though) who seemed to think the costumiers lack the ability to dress the more full-figured (and I do not mean FAT by the way) woman.

I reckon her dress could have been a more flattering colour and length. That calf-length is not good even for 6 foot supermodels (imo)

Maybe an earthy green, deep purple or a vivid scarlet would have suited her better??

Natalie performed her heart out.

Couldn't have asked for more (apart from a couple of 7s from the inconsistent judges).

I thought she deserved a higher score. She was great.

Natalie may have got a seven if she hadn't performed first. I hope she performs her cha cha cha like it is her last dance.

A very average performance with Cassidy spending most of the dance staring at something on the ceiling.
She's obviously unfit though and will definitely struggle in the more energetic dances.

I thought it was a good effort. It started off really well, but I think the 2nd half fell away a bit.

I like Natalie - I just wish she would stop with the 'I love Strictly, I really do' comments - it makes her look a little needy. I hope they always give her a darker lipstick and really emphasise her eyes, it will make her look more dramatic.

Yes I just said something similar elsewhere!

The judges are quite reserved when marking the first dance.

Natalie really impressed me, I liked her attitude, and I liked her 'look' - it was haughty and really suited the dance, and she actually looked quite exotic and sensual - I think she's easily up there with the rest of the celebs.

She was really good, nice dress, nice footwork and really went for it.

i think natalie was very good tonight she put all heart into her performance just think the score was a little shy maybe she deserved 7's

hopeful her latin tomorrow will be brillant too goodluck babe
i'll be voting for you honey

Although Natalie didn't perform the best dance of the night I thought she did really well considering all the criticism she has been getting in the press and on the forums. It is evident she is loving the SCD experience and puts her heart and soul into each dance she does. I hope her critics will now put a sock in it because she has proved them wrong.

3 weeks I give her

I thought that Natalie danced very well today. She looked as if she was enjoying herself and that is half the battle. She seems to be a really lovely girl and I hope she does well.

Great first dance and I agree they might have got a mark or two extra if they hadn't been out first. Not sure if she'll be a contender though, but she won't stop trying her best as she's clearly loving the whole experience. 10/10 from me for her dress, hair and make up - she looked fab!

She really did. Loved the lace on her breast which went up the side of her neck!

That was beautifully done. I didn't have much hope based on here mambo costume last week which wasn't flattering, so it was all a nice surprise.

I don't know if I'm right as they didn't mention it but I saw their dance as an evocation of "the Taming of the Shrew" so she put on that fierce look which I found hilarious. I thought she was great!

ps. I really dislike this particular forum being pink!

I was really happy for her tonight. It seems she's enjoying each bit of her experience there and I had a massive grin on my face as they run the VT of all the discussion about her weight and she said something like.... I am not here to lose weight, I could not care less....... You go girl!... You looked fabulous and did equally as well too! Her and Vince seem to get on great too
