Haha, she doesn't take herself too seriously though which is great. I also thought her attempt at the Salsa was really entertaining

Don't hate me - it's just that - as an AT - Rachel and Vincent's was so much better.
You are perfectly entitled to have preferred Lisa's but, according to the experts, and for anyone who knows a bit about it, it was an inferior example of the dance.
Hardly matters now though - history.

Absolutely - she is really kookily charming.

This might be a doubler - if so - sorry!

Wait, wait, wait. I didn't like them last year.
Paso Doble, AT, Foxtrot, Showdance and Cha Cha Cha in particular.This year, I thought the Paso routine was great! Why couldn't he have done something like that last year? I also liked the Cha Cha Cha one. I'm warming to him...

Aww! My dog grabbed a cushion from the lounge and destroyed it during the programme. All I could hear was growling and grunting and I kept seeing flying feathers, out of the corner of my eye.

Hate you?!
I think we've come too far for that to ever happen. No seriously, I'm one who doesn't give much of a crap about technicalities. As long as it's danced well, I don't mind. It's more about personal enjoyment for me, and connection with the dancer.

Thank goodness! I was beginning to go right off you SI.

And, as far as I'm concerned, the further from authentic AT choreography, the better!
For some reason, it makes me feel ill...

There you go then!
And I'm glad you're warming to Vincent's awesome talents!
Nice SI
As soon as Claudia announced Len's masterclass, I groaned!
But....I enjoyed it, despite myself.
Not sure I want it as a regular fixture though.
Zoe, for some reason, reminds me of Lisa Snowdon (personality wise). Can't take to her. And definitely can't take to James still.
Good to see Tuffers back on his feet and I really admire him for getting out there and dancing this weekend having just had surgery. I couldn't do it.
Vincent, even makes me laugh when he's barely featured (seeing him wiping down his back had me chuckling for some reason!).
As much as I love her, Jo is looks like she'll really struggle this week and could be vulnerable.
By contrast, things seem to be coming good for Craig. And I'm glad, because I really wanted to support him when this year's line-up wad announced.
I think I've covered everything

Evenin' Sid!
I'm hoping for a good week for Craig - mainly because I don't want to hear "it was better in rehearsal!" again!
He's from the same town as I am (but has a completely different accent, honestly! ), so I kinda feel obliged to want him to do well...
I'm rooting so hard for Chris and Ricky G to do well on Saturday, and I thought I wasn't at all interested in either of them before the show started.
I love Phil's partner Kat beyond words for not knowing the ITT script that every dance is the hardest dance in Strictly history and saying it was one of the easier ones! And I loved Phil's 'Ring-a-ring-a-roses' bit and his whole attitude. And, while I didn't like Zoe and James's paso and thought it was wildly overmarked, I like it now I know she was making that skirt bit up - she did another really lovely interview. Another great show. I would get rid of the stats bloke though. The scores say more about the judges than they do about the dances, and his jokes are - not great.
(And I really wish I didn't think 'Oh damn' when Ali and Ricky W look so good in training. Obviously they are going to be the stars of the show again - I am going to try hard to enjoy them dancing and not think of them as ringers.)

I really like Zoe and really, really didn't like Lisa so I don't get that but funnily enough, Laila reminds me of Ms. Snowdon. Can't warm to her at all.

You do still have a Northern accent though don't you?
If so, major brownie points!
I've been a fan of Craig's ever since he appeared in Queer As Folk.

Of course I do. Just a far more refined one.

I've not seen much personality yet from Laila.
She's a teeny bit Gabby Logan but a bit more fun.
Can't say I love her, but I did really want to love her and Anton together (but that's all gone a bit pear-shaped!).
Zoe seems a bit needy, and I don't know, she's always going on about being self-conscious and not having confidence blah blah blah. I'm not keen.
