Same here and ditto re Caroline. I thought both of them would be hard as nails frankly given the jobs they do but both came over as really genuine people who fell in love with dancing.
I expected to like Hairy Biker Dave but found him creepy and I didn't expect to like Mark Benton but fell a little bit in love with him, especially after this ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crv-0jHOcX4 ![]() ![]() ![]() Really gave ( more like threw ) everything. Another person who enjoyed the strictly experience. |

The one I started off liking and ended up disliking was Caroline Flack
vice versa The one I never thought I would like at all was Judy Murray who I found to be a lovely warm person |

He was hilarious - it's funny how often the dancers who aren't as technically good as the others (she understated a tad) can be way more entertaining.
So true. No sob stories or manipulation, just there to enjoy and entertain. We should have more of those than the ones who want to update their CV. |

Brilliant! Your mission Ochre, should you choose to accept it, is to find Flavia and Jimi's Charleston which I have searched endlessly for and not found
![]() They danced it to 'Do your thing' didn't they, ahhhhh when Peter and Janette danced their Charleston to it last series I was thinking 'someone else danced to this and I loved it but who', Jimi and Flavia thank you!I've just really enjoyed watching Jimi and Flavia's Foxtrot to 'Fever' that was my favourite of theirs

I'd gladly accept any mission that involves searching for dance clips and some Strictly nostalgia but unfortunately I can't find it either

Sadly I think that clip may have disappeared forever and yes it was to "Do Your Thing". One of my very favourite dances. Their Foxtrot was brilliant as well. I loved their partnership and I am so glad they've had a genuine "happy ever after".
Jimi and Flavia are a lovely couple, what a great story they have to tell about how they met dancing together on Strictly. |

As much as I hate to admit it, (since Peter is not my cup of tea) is that in watching Flavia and Jimi's Charleston, Peter and Janette's is the superior dance. Inevitable comparison since they used the same music.

It's a real shame when there are dances you loved you can't find to watch back, I felt the same about those dances of Zoe's until I discovered they'd been posted up since I last searched.
Jimi and Flavia are a lovely couple, what a great story they have to tell about how they met dancing together on Strictly. Indeed. A real love story. |

Oh I adored Sophie's and have watched that one again and again. Caroline said that Charleston was one of the reasons she wanted to do the show. I loved Sophie's Paso as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iODTWNAxzwc ![]() My two favourites of Sophie's behind her Charleston were her Viennese Waltz to 'My Favourite Things' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_UM6zGOcNs And her Blackpool Quickstep to 'The Lady is a Tramp' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7mSt6C1WSo I loved Sophie and Brendan's partnership. "This girl" . . . "I'm 34 Brendan"

I remember Caroline saying that and I enjoyed her Charleston too. Thanks for posting the link for Sophie's Paso, haven't watched it back in quite a long time, great music, dramatic and she looks amazing

Jamelia's was much better than I remembered I have to say.

She was so graceful Thank you for the links ![]() Sophie's Charleston performance was amazing for only Week 2, shame they finished fourth in the final and didn't get to dance it a second time. Then again it was such a magic moment, hard to recreate. Sophie looks like an art deco figure in her Charleston costume, such a naturally graceful and beautiful lady. |

I thought it was Jamelia's best dance although her Blackpool Quickstep was very good as well.

This is good as well. Fun routine. Iveta was way better with him then the male model/rugby player she had the following year.
