Hello and welcome to Show One of Strictly Come Dancing - Our Way!

On Friday night, six celebrities took to the Strictly dance floor for the first time with their professional partners with...mixed results. The judges have had their say, but now it's time to see what four of our forum members thought the couples should have received! Those four judges are...

Andrew (dennisboy)
Myk (ChickenFromKiev)
Stuart (Stuart25)
Wally (WallyWall2013)


Kicking off this show, let's take a look at how Caroline and Pasha compared with our judges...

Caroline and Pasha dancing the Cha Cha Cha to 'Can You Feel It?' (The Jacksons)

Craig - 6
Darcey - 7
Len - 7
Bruno - 7
Total: 27


A strong start for Caroline and Pasha with Strictly judges, but did they fare as well with ours?
IzzieStar
29-09-2014
Andrew - 6
Myk - 6
Stuart - 7
Wally - 7
Total: 26


Myk: An excellent start to the series, Caroline! I did get the feeling that you lost it a little bit in the middle, but you picked yourself up and produced an excellent first routine.

Two sixes, two sevens. It all adds up to compare as...

ONE MARK LESS

The second couple to dance were Tim and Natalie...

Craig - 3
Darcey - 5
Len - 5
Bruno - 5
Total: 18


Not the strongest of starts for this year's oldest contestant. Let's see our judges' takes on it...
IzzieStar
29-09-2014
Andrew - 4
Myk - 4
Stuart - 2
Wally - 5
Total: 15


Wally: The intro of this dance went too long. However, this was a fun dance and Tim certainly knows how to perform but the actual Cha-Cha dancing just wasn’t good at all. I felt that you were just walking through the routine. I did like some partnering bits at the end where you seemed really into it and glad you had fun at least.

A bigger disagreement between the two judging panels sees Tim and Natalie receive...

THREE MARKS LESS

Looking to do a little better are Jake and Janette...
IzzieStar
29-09-2014
Jake and Janette dancing the Tango to 'Toxic' (Britney Spears)

Craig - 7
Darcey - 7
Len - 7
Bruno - 7
Total: 28


That sees all four judges in agreement...will we be seeing a repeat performance with our judges?
IzzieStar
29-09-2014
Andrew - 5
Myk - 7
Stuart - 5
Wally - 7
Total: 24


Wally: I really liked this dance, Jake. I thought you performed well with great intensity of your character which came very naturally to you. The dancing was really good too. There was good hold, frame, footwork, leading of Janette and the moves were sharp. This was a really solid and intense first week Tango.

Another split down our judging panel, and it's bad news for Jake and Janette as those two fives mean that they receive...

FOUR MARKS LESS

Up next with a performance that most definitely didn't over-egg the Scottish pudding, it was Judy and Anton...
IzzieStar
29-09-2014
Judy and Anton dancing the Waltz to 'Mull of Kintyre' (Wings)

Craig - 3
Darcey - 4
Len - 6
Bruno - 5
Total: 18


Our second 18 of the night, but will our judges agree?
IzzieStar
29-09-2014
Andrew - 4
Myk - 5
Stuart - 4
Wally - 4
Total: 17


Andrew: Very stiff, you really need to improve your posture. Not a great start.

Not a great set of marks for Judy, but only a slightly disagreement between the two panels with them receiving...

ONE MARK LESS

Our penultimate couple of the first night was Scott and Joanne...
IzzieStar
29-09-2014
Scott and Joanne dancing the Cha Cha Cha to 'Rock DJ' (Robbie Williams)

Craig - 2
Darcey - 4
Len - 5
Bruno - 5
Total: 16


Our lowest score of the round, but maybe it was enough to impress our judges...
IzzieStar
29-09-2014
Andrew - 4
Myk - 2
Stuart - 4
Wally - 4
Total: 14


Myk: Oh dear. I'm not entirely sure what this was, because, to me, it didn't quite look like a Cha Cha. Still, you looked like you were having fun, so that's something, I guess.

And it was all going so well for them to be the first couple to even their score until that two from Myk gives them...

TWO MARKS LESS

Finally, it's Pixie and Trent...
IzzieStar
29-09-2014
Pixie and Trent dancing the Jive to 'Shake It Off' (Taylor Swift)

Craig - 7
Darcey - 6
Len - 7
Bruno - 7
Total: 27


Time to see what our judges thought of their effort...
IzzieStar
29-09-2014
Andrew - 6
Myk - 6
Stuart - 6
Wally - 7
Total: 25


Stuart: I liked this, but I was expecting more. It was danced on bent knees at the start, which made it look awkward to me. Something did go wrong in the middle - Pixie was out on one of the kicks. She needed to be lighter on her feet as well - it looked slightly laboured. But it was a very energetic first dance.

Not a bad reception from our judges by any means, but it still gives them...

TWO MARKS LESS

Let's see how the two leaderboards compare for our first six couples...

A much bigger divide between the Strictly judges and Our Way judges compared to the first show last year, with Jake taking the biggest hit, as Caroline propels into the lead. It's still bad news for Scott though, but who knows? It could all change with the judges' scores from the Saturday show!

I will try and get the second show up within the next two days. Sorry to not be more specific, it depends when I get in at night etc.

Thank you very much to the first round judges!

Great show as always, Izzie. We are even more strict than the actual judges, lol.

You got my scores that I sent in from Saturday's episode, right?

I did, thanks.

I've now got all four sets of scores, so am aiming to get the show up today or maybe tomorrow.

Will finally have the Saturday comparisons up tonight. Sorry for my awful organisation. I will try much harder to get the comparisons up promptly this weekend.

Hello and welcome to the second part of the weekend's comparisons!

After a bit of a wait, it's finally time to see the comparison scores from Saturday's shows! Hopefully you can still remember what they all looked like and haven't been completely side-tracked by those Tango songs. Anyway, quite a few more couples to get through this time, so I'll get on with it.

Our judges for this round were, of course...

Andrew (dennisboy)
Myk (ChickenFromKiev)
Stuart (Stuart25)
Wally (WallyWall2013)


Starting things on Saturday, and tonight, were Mark and Karen...
IzzieStar
01-10-2014
Mark and Karen dancing the Cha Cha Cha to 'I'm Your Man' (Wham!)

Craig - 5
Darcey - 7
Len - 6
Bruno - 6
Total: 24


Turns out a fit, young man isn't 'no moves' after all. Who'd have though it?
IzzieStar
01-10-2014
Andrew - 5
Myk - 7
Stuart - 6
Wally - 6
Total: 24


Andrew: Slightly disappointing, Mark, I thought you'd do well but this was pretty mediocre.

Identical scores in the identical order...it can only mean a good start for Mark and Karen as they...

MATCH THEIR SCORE

Looking to continue this run for this year's cast, it's Alison and Aljaz...
IzzieStar
01-10-2014
Alison and Aljaz dancing the Cha Cha Cha to 'I'm Every Woman' (Chaka Khan)

Craig - 6
Darcey - 6
Len - 7
Bruno - 7
Total: 26


A nice split between the judges gives Alison a strong start, but were our judges so impressed?
IzzieStar
01-10-2014
Andrew - 6
Myk - 6
Stuart - 5
Wally - 7
Total: 24


Andrew: A really fun routine, I'm getting Lisa vibes, but you could had better technique.

That 5 from Stuart marks Alison's lowest mark from any judge so far, and proves to make the difference as she receives...

TWO MARKS LESS

Showing off their 'wild' moves, next to dance were Steve and Ola...
IzzieStar
01-10-2014
Steve and Ola dancing the Tango to 'Born to Be Wild' (Steppenwolf)

Craig - 6
Darcey - 6
Len - 7
Bruno - 7
Total: 26


Steve proved to be a nice surprise for many viewers on Saturday night. Whether he was up to our judges' standard is another thing though...
