Hello again.

Strictly will be back in full swing again on Friday night, so I thought it was time to get the thread up for this series of Our Way! Last series saw Frankie Bridge and Kevin Clifton claim the virtual trophy, while the series before saw Natalie Gumede and Artem Chigvintsev claim their own victory, so this series does sort-of purpose. Oh, and we also have a tendency to see contestants who are positively dragged through the series by the Strictly judges booted out on here.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the series, it's basically a comparison series that runs alongside Strictly with our forum members judging, voting and bottom two-ing. The judges will rotate on a weekly basis, with (hopefully) FMs signing up to do as many or as few rounds as they want. Up until the final, judging positions are allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis and I will occasionally judge myself.

If you'd like to judge this weekend's performances, PM me or sign up below.

And I'd just like to put one thing out there...

I want you to mark based on the dancing. I know there are/will be some you like, some you dislike for whatever reason, but I don't want this series used as a platform to air that opinion after two series that have worked reasonably fairly.

I'll happily judge - I think my treatment of Sunetra last year shows I can be trusted with Katie.

I would love to judge. And unlike Decisions, I will judge on the dancing since we actually physically see the dancing.

I'd love to judge please.

I'd like to judge as soon as possible. I'm quite good a judging people.

Me, me, pick me please!

Hello, I would like to judge at some point if possible please!

Nick pipped you to the post, but would you like to judge the second weekend?

Thanks very much all.

Thank you very much Izzie! .

Wanted to do it last year but didn't know that I'd be allowed so I stayed silent.

I will be judging this based on the dancing. Of course my opinion on how the couples have done, may differ to others.

Would forum members have to state each time they might want to judge? Eg. I did week 2, if it isn't too busy, could I do another one at some point. Also, is the final judges picked at random?

I could have sworn you'd judged last series! Anybody's allowed to sign up to judge, so I'm glad you've signed up this time.

Don't worry, I don't like bias either.

You can sign up for as many rounds as you want to. However, given there has been a fair amount of interest already I might have to put some limits in place to make sure everybody gets a turn.

The final is done by random draw after the semi final.

I must say, I can't recall judging last series but thank you.

Yep, jolly good. I would only want to judge 3 times Max so, that's fine. This is a popular game and I love it!

Naturally! thanks

I would like to be a judge too!

With your accounts you could almost fill the whole judging panel.

10th October?

Is it at normal Strictly time (7pm ish)?

I don't think the schedules for that weekend are out yet, but I'd assume so.

I'll judge at some point, can't do the 17th oct however.

I'd be happy to judge at some point
