Lovely panel. I'd love any or all of them to do the show.

Anita looked so beautiful tonight. Their jive is looking good but I hope there won't be too many props and stuff. Same with Kellie and Kevin moving house. Makes me wonder what other 'themes' people will get stuck with.

I don't know what to think about Jay's training footage. They really seem to be playing him down on the show this week. I don't know what to make of it - I suppose we'll see tomorrow.

Georgia's dress looks gorgeous.

That A-Z section is just painful. But Natalie talking to the married couple was lovely.

There's an excellent BBC documentary about Coventry during the Blitz which is worth watching, as it shows the level of destruction the city experienced. Often we only see the bombing of London, but watch the Coventry documentary and you will see where the word coventrated comes from. Very moving.

Oh and my heart sunk at the news Jeremy has to dress as a cowboy for his tango. Why? I mean, I think he's safe as houses for weeks yet, I'm not worried on that score. But they've done a cowboy tango and it was a terrible idea then, why do it again?

Because Jason Gilickson director of choreography has decreed that Jeremy is this years comedy act, and shall be given silly costumes and music

I'm assuming you mean Jay? And not based on the training we've seen. I really hope we get something a whole lot better tomorrow. He's certainly capable of it.

The Jive looked really mediocre too, but they knew it was going to be good as they put it on last. Same with Georgias tango. I get the feeling they have started downplaying the good ones, which is a bit silly I think, I'd rather have an idea of who I think is going to be good from training and comment on whether they lived up to it. It seemed like they were just marking it.

who knows what the producers have got up their sleeves?

Very true, and I'm holding onto that. He looked so lumbering in rehearsal, then was so very light on his feet when it came to the actual performance. But that walk looks like his Paso walk, which is completely wrong for this. So I'm going in with low expectations hoping to be pleasantly surprised!

Really looking forward to tomorrow night's show now. There seems to be some proper good dances coming up from the footage they showed tonight.

Just caught their segment on iplayer. For a reason I can't explain Karen's hair makes me think their Tango may have a Toy Story theme. Jeremy as Woody and Karen as Jessie. It works with their height difference, and maybe even the "Go West" part of the song.

I don't think they are going to do a comedy Tango per se, but add humour with the context. Guess we'll find out if I'm right very soon.

It's the Village People theme isn't it? Karen will probably be the 'construction worker'!

I agree. I'm really excited for tomorrow night too, especially as I was a bit underwhelmed by Halloween week. Particularly looking forward to Anita, Georgia and Peter. I haven't really enjoyed any of Peter's dances so far but I have a feeling he's going to deliver a great Charleston.

Rufus is always good on the panel. He's funny and blatantly watches and is as much of a fan as us. I don't know if I'd want him to do a full series though - just in case 13 weeks of him proves too much and I turn agin him!

Jeremy, a cowboy? Anita and Gleb, cleaners? I really dislike the literal take on some of the music (see also Helen and Aljaz's Dr Beat Salsa).

Jive concept aside, I like Anita and Gleb, one of the few couples this year that have an interesting chemistry (I'd say Jay and Aliona do too but I think some of the others are missing that spark at the moment even if they're very good).

I think Alexander's right - they've been playing down Jay's Argentine Tango and it'll be brilliant.

Watched excerpts but ff through the panel. Loved Alexander Armstrong singing and seeing Natalie and Gleb dance together. Gleb has grown on me so much. I never would have thought I'd fancy him rotten! Anita and Kellie came across well. Kellie's so driven whereas Anita is more grounded with her desire to do the dance well. Can't wait for tomorrow's show.
