And here we go again.

Slightly "confused" for a nano second when the intro didn't start with Ainsley

He needs his jive-king title back!

Are you sure you were awake at the time?

Well, it did seem more like a nightmare, but I pinched myself and everything to make sure

I miss last year! 😢

But look how far happy Jay has come!

Oh yes

But I'm willing to give this year a chance

Oksana more nervous than Rinder!

Behind as you can see - I'll shut up now and concentrate

Night all!

Rinder!!!! Love!

Me too, but I'm putting on a brave face and I WILL enjoy it.😇

Craig told him off for too much gurning!

Honestly, there's no pleasing some people.😂😂

Ha I said that on the NAT

"Not enough gurn"
"Too much gurn"

I really laughed out loud when I saw him

Starting as he means to go on. Poor Louise.

I LOVE RINDER

P* taker extraordinaire

and a lovely mover

He was certainly the best surprise of the evening. I think he might be my favourite (to quote Brucie!)

I miss that too and I miss A choreography. Anyway give it a go and see how entertaining it will be.

PS Somebody did get Cuba right I mixed it a bit.

For those feeling sentimental and nostalgic, J's rumba from the last night of the tour and from the reverse angle. #happysad

Yeah just can't remember who.

Cuba was greeted with much more enthusiasm than loved a woman though! 😂 I loved the VW!

Oh if we're being nostalgic!

For comparison!

I secretly hoped he would be as good as he was on the first show. And he was. He is going to go for it and be funny with it. He and Oksana may be the delight of this series.

As for the sailor suited one - what is their music again? He looked like an extra from that Gene Kelly musical - I can't remember the name of it, but Frank Sinatra was in it too. You know the one with the song "New York, New York's a wonderful town... "

All the others were pretty good - no definite dislikes as yet - but couldn't help comparing the CCC's with J & A's [all the bendy legs]

Overall, I enjoyed the show though - definitely no emotional investment this time.

Oh another big milestone!! Jays Charleston has passed Georgia's Samba so J&A now have 3 dances in the top 5 from last year!


Edit- im a bit of a stats buff too so maybe I can be Strictly Reds emergency cover 😂

Strangely loved Judge Rinder, even though his open mouth did remind me a bit of muffin top at KD

Quite liked Greg.

Ore - god that took a lonnnnnng time to get going - "all that faffing about"

And there was a little bit of Jay in there - Walks Like Rihanna was played.

Well, enjoyed the first 6 more than I had expected but, oh dear, I did miss Jay's beautiful feet!!

ETA - Also Aliona's choreography.

💕💕 Nice to see a different angle - think you see more of J?

same here just went on YouTube just to check some clips of tonight's show out no one surprised me didn't feel anything accept Robert rinders routine was utterly camp and his facial expressions were just unexplainable but my is he entertaining lol compare this to jays cha cha..

Oh, that reminds me I wanted to post this.

New upload, don't know if we've seen this before.

Yes we really were spoilt with these beautiful feet, elegant lines, graceful arms.................
