Thanks anam - I've now watched Judy's bit (thought she was lovely). Will go and have a gander at a silent Aljaz. Did Alison speak for them both, perchance?
![]() I haven't watched the Cilla thing - find her unbearable - but I do admire Sheridan Smith. Praps I should have given it a go..... reasonSoupy, I feel the same about Cilla, but watched the first episode while at my mums. Agree with Anam that Sheridan Smith is brilliant. Enjoyed watching Judy on ITT, she has poise and presence when talking, hopefully she can transfer some of that to the dance floor. |

Howdy peeps,
![]() Echoing Clartem's thanks for all of you who took the time to detail their thoughts on the first dances, had a busy birthday weekend so trotting out my excuses already this year for being slow off the mark..... ![]() Anyways good to know I'm not the only one who really enjoyed Caroline, thought she was great - and Jake (although I agree with you Clarty that a soup spoon of charisma wouldn't go amiss). Also surprised myself by liking SimonfromBlue - as I thought originally he was coming across as too competitive - but he was ok on ITT last night. FrankieSaturday and Pixiecan'trememberanyofhersingles, although both very good both left me a little cold - in the case of Pixie because the whole Trent thing is just too Stepford Wives, and Frankie for no discernable reason that I can think off so maybe it was just a one-off. Thom, I agree with the 'vacant' comments, maybe it was just nerves but I was expecting more chemistry from these two, find it hard to see him livening up with some latin ??? I appear to be in a minority of one who found Alison really,really annoying - again this is perhaps due to an irrational reason, ie I can't ruddy stand that howling,shreiking,inhuman mess of a track that was designed to cause severe ear-bleed while masquerading under the title,"I'm Every Woman". Ergo, I might like her by next week.Oh and I like Judy Murray, cracking sense of humour, hope she hangs on for a couple of weeks. Final observation, Aliona looks like she would willingly dump Greg headfirst in a vat of rancid old custard - can't say I blame her I genuinely hope she gets a 'theme' week with the theme being 'Death by Custard '

Thanks Crazy, JAN and Suzie for the info about Kara on the Box. If someone can jog my memory on the day, I'd be so very grateful!

![]() I'm completely on board about the song. (So many cheesy/dire music connections.... Monkseal on Mark and Karen: They’re dancing your cha-cha to “I’m Your Man” by Wham! solely because it contains the line “if you wanna do it, do it RIGHT/WRIGHT!”) I quite enjoyed Alison's dance, but she got on my nerves in the VT.

Lea and Artem's cha cha from Monday night. The votes from this week will determine who leaves next week (combined with judges scores from next week. Or this week. Or both weeks!
). I haven't watched any of the other dances yet, but I get the impression they were middle of the running order, middle of the leaderboard, middle of the road and could be vulnerable. Thought this was her least confident performance and Artem's choreo was just okay. She was criticised for losing her posture. They have contemporary next in 'personal story week'. Groan. It's always an absolute schmalz-fest, but they ought to be able to produce a beautiful routine with her ballet background and Arty's wafty inclinations

I agree. She really didn't look comfortable in that dance and Artem choreographed to her ability. She didn't want to dance on her own. She'd be better in ballroom but they don't seem to do many of those on DWTS

I know finished bakes have to look good but to me, flavours count for an awful lot and Luis' bakes have been more style than substance imo. Chetna always had flavour uppermost in her bakes. I was also rooting for Martha (she had some great flavour combinations I think. So, not too fussed who wins out of the three left, though if pushed would want Nancy to win only because I like her!

I enjoyed the show this evening. Don't have a favourite at the moment and that makes it so much more relaxing to watch the show.
I thought Jake and Janette's dance was A-MA-ZING. She is a brave lady to trust him with some of those moves I really hate Jake's character on Eastenders and don't find him at all sexy but he is a good dancer and I hope he continues to entertain

Interesting tweet from James Jordan that Jake has kept his previous dance training under wraps yet others are pilloried. I can't believe Janette would give him 3 lifts unless she knew something we didn't. It was an exhilarating dance but does nothing for me.

Crazy4kartem- thought I quoted you...this is the first year I haven't had a favourite. I do miss the buzz I got from Arty performances and anticipation of what genius routine he would come up with each week. Rather a marathon watch this evening. How animated was Aljaz, he must love the real contrast in personality from last year. as a result he can showcase a whole other side to himself. Marking, as always a bit strange, especially for Caroline and Pasha. Any thoughts on who will go? |

![]() . She may be hopeless (or not), but Anton's a disgrace as a teacher. In a century of appearances on the show, how many good performances has he coaxed out of his partners? I don't care if he almost always gets duffers, one or two of them must have had a good dance in them somewhere! Poor Judy .I thought some of the women's dresses were interesting and lovely but the men's outfits were dreadful. I'm warming to Pixie a little and even Gregg a smidge . In fact I thought he deserved to be a couple of places higher up the leaderboard.

reason

- again this is perhaps due to an irrational reason, ie I can't ruddy stand that howling,shreiking,inhuman mess of a track that was designed to cause severe ear-bleed while masquerading under the title,"I'm Every Woman". Ergo, I might like her by next week.
I genuinely hope she gets a 'theme' week with the theme being 'Death by Custard '
