Nick: Meh, Putting personality into a dance is always good...unless you have a bad one which is off putting, I wasn't surprised at your ability - Not the most exciting dance tbh.

It seems there might just be another man for our judges, with Peter receiving…

FOUR MARKS FEWER

Let’s see how they all compare…

I'm sure you can make your own summaries from that. Changes though. Lots of 'em.

Please spare a thought for me as I look upon next weekend and the 30 seperate marks I'll have to type up with a mixture of despair and horror.

But at least the comments will be entertaining!

In my defence:

1) It was a 7 for about 15 minutes, ask Izzie.

2) Several people on the "Your scores" thread also gave Katie an 8 (so if I'm insane, it's catching).

3) I ignored Anton as a component of the dance entirely, because to acknowledge his Jiving (and showboating - stop it, Anton) would be unfair to Katie.

I really wouldn't be using that as a defence!

Never thought I'd see you using the word shade.

Hahahaha. Sorry Ross, but this did make me lol

I'm so looking forward to judging this weekend.

Thank you for letting me judge this week.

I miss Callum!

I've sent my scores and comments in, I hope you get them Izzie.

I have a feeling, I might be the generous judge but we will have to wait and see.

Safe to say I won't be the generous judge in most cases this week... although not for the couples some might be expecting.

Except Iwan. Everybody should be expecting Iwan's scores...

Is it usual to get four 10s this early?

Only if you're a pompous proms woman when Queenie isn't scoring

Showtime at 10.30am.

Hello everyone!

If you managed to stick it out through the first three dances and watched the whole thing, very well done. Although you are on DS and have probably sat through threads with the titles ‘IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE A DANCE COMPETITION…’/ ‘**** IS A GREAT BIG RINGER’ running into the billions, so you probably have a pretty strong constitution.

Anyway, it was bizarre at times, rewarding at others and generally not as bad going as last year’s fifteen-couples show, or Donny week for that matter. The four forums members who had the honour of picking over proceedings were:

Callum (doctorwhofancal)
Danny (Damahepa)
East (StrictlyEastend)
Jamie (DingDong08)

The first couple they were casting their eyes over was Jamelia and Tristan…

Jamelia and Tristan MacManus dancing the Cha Cha Cha to ‘Don’t Cha’ (Pussycat Dolls)

Craig – 4
Darcey – 6
Len – 5
Bruno – 6
Total: 21

I really can’t blame Jamelia for dancing to that song with Tristan, I really can’t. *sigh*

Oh…and here’s what judges thought.

Callum – 4
Danny – 3
East – 6
Jamie – 6
Total: 19

East: Good effort Jamelia but it was a bit inconsistent. Sometimes you were good and then you'd make a few mistakes. Overall good effort and I think you have potential.

It’s the three from Danny that really makes the difference with our first dance as Jamelia and Tristan receive…

TWO MARKS FEWER

Following them, were Daniel and Kristina…

Daniel O’Donnell and Kristina Rihanoff dancing the Charleston to ‘Let’s Misbehave’ (Cole Porter)

Craig – 5
Darcey – 6
Len – 6
Bruno – 6
Total: 23

I doubt there are many of us who wouldn’t let Daniel ride our course.

(Oh and LOL at Daniel beating both Kirsty and Jamelia with the Strictly judges. <3)

Callum – 4
Danny – 5
East – 4
Jamie – 5
Total: 18

East: I thought it was stiff, laboured, clumpy, lumpy and dull. But not as dreadful as I feared it would be.

*vibrates silently with fury*

FIVE MARKS FEWER

Up next were Kirsty and Brendan’s mammaries…

Kirsty Gallacher and Brendan Cole dancing the Salsa to ‘Can’t Touch It’ (Ricki Lee)

Craig – 5
Darcey – 5
Len – 5
Bruno – 5
Total: 20

But would our judges even want to touch it (or Brendan’s mammaries)?

Callum – 5
Danny – 5
East – 5
Jamie – 5
Total: 20

Callum: For me, a definite improvement on last week, you maintained this fantastic character throughout however all your body seemed tense and uncomfortable. It all seemed far too jointed.

I’m not going to go back through the last two series, but I’m pretty sure that’s the first time that’s happened in that style…

MATCH THEIR SCORE

After the positive thrills of the Latin so far (HA!), it’s time for a Waltz courtesy of Jay and Aliona…

Jay McGuiness and Aliona Vilani dancing the Waltz to ‘See the Day’ (Dee C. Lee)

Craig – 7
Darcey – 8
Len – 8
Bruno – 8
Total: 31

It got their highest score of the night, but what did our judges make of it?
