I toyed with this idea last series, but wasn't sure how it would work, but I think I've managed to make it work in my head now.

Basically, as a group of gamers who like judging & critiquing (performance ), I thought we could see how the series would pan out if it was one of our forum games, with us acting as the judges and the voters!

So for each week, of dancing on Strictly, we'd need four judges (who'd be prepared to give marks for the show and to bottom-two judge) just for comparisons sake. Each week, we will start with a new judging panel when people can PM me and let me know if they want to judge for the round. It'd be on a first-come, first serve so we could end up with the same judges on a weekly basis, but I'd like for as many people to have the opportunity to be involved if they want to be.

Obviously, the contestants have already danced once, so I will open applications to people to post-judge, but if people can't remember, I'll probably skip this round and start with the next round which will be the first vote. That's if this idea even takes off.

If you would like to post-judge the first dances of the series (or carry your marks over from Callum's thread), please PM me.

I'll also be posting the actual scores and results for a full comparison.

Seen as though you've all been so quick, I'll put Fridays comparison show up tonight.

Maybe even both if I'm feeling generous.

Hello and welcome to our first Strictly Come Dancing comparison show of the series!

Today, four of our forum members will be giving us an insight into how things would have been if this was one of our games and just how differently things could have gone for the fifteen celebrities.

On Friday night, six celebrities and their parters took to the dance floor for the first time, and they are...

Ashley Taylor Dawson and Ola Jordan
Mark Benton and Iveta Lukosiute
Natalie Gumede and Artem Chigvintsev
Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Brendan Cole
Susanna Reid and Kevin Clifton
Tony Jacklin and Aliona Vilani


The first couple being judged by our forum members today is Ashley and Ola. With each couple and dance, we will see how it went on the programme before seeing how differently things could have gone for them...

Luke: A lot of the dance felt like you were following Ola around, luke you were an excited puppy - and I'm not even going to start on the move where she wiggled her bum in your face. Saying that, it wasn't bad as a first dance, but I think you can improve.

So, as you can see, after our first dance our judges are already in disagreement giving Ashley and Ola 2 POINTS LESS than the judges of Strictly Come Dancing!

Following Ashley and Ola are Tony and Aliona...

Jess: Duller than dull, darling. I'd rather watch Celebrity Super Spa than the mistfortune of seeing your latin number next week.

It would seem that, no, Tony did not manage to impress our judges managing to achieve a total of 5 POINTS LESS from them.

Our final male comparison of the round is Mark and his partner Iveta...

Tom: I think that your posture wasn't great. You gave a good performance though.

Once again, our judges prove to be tougher than the paid ones, giving Mark and Iveta 4 POINTS LESS for their Tango.

Hopefully our first female can cheer them up! It's Susanna and Kevin...[/b]

Callum: Susanna, not bad at all for a first performance. You had a lot of fun therefore so did I. I wouldn't have bothered with the cartwheel at all, it made you look like a hyper 5 year old, however you and Kevin have formed a strong bond.

It's the highest score from our judges so far, but Susanna and Kevin still manage 4 POINTS LESS than they originally achieved!

Hopefully our penultimate couple Sophie and Brendan can turn it around...

Luke: What was going on with your top line, Sophie? If you get that sorted out, then your dancing as a whole will look more natural. Good luck with the latin - whether you can master it or not remains to be seen...

Once again, our judges/Luke prove to be the harsher with Sophie and Brendan achieving 1 POINT LESS from our judges.

Finally we have Natalie and Artem...

Jess: Fast and furious, although, like the films of the same name, - I wonder whether your sequels shall fall flat.

Finally a couple have managed to impress our judge equally, and Natalie and Artem have MATCHED THEIR ORIGINAL SCORE.

With so many score changes, it's time to take a look at the two leaderboards and see how they compare...

Our Way Leaderboard

1st Natalie and Artem - 31 (-)
2nd Sophie and Brendan - 27 (-)
3rd Susanna and kevin - 24 (-1)
4th Ashley and Ola - 23 (-)
5th Mark and Iveta - 20 (-)
6th Tony and Aliona - 11 (-)

Despite some significant changes to the scores for the couples of 2013, there is only one change to the leaderboard with Susanna and Kevin dropping down a place!

In our next round, the remaining nine couples will face the judgement of our forum members, as we discover how they would have fared under the scrutiny of Digital Spy.
