Who do you think looked good in the group dance? I think Ore and Louise looked great, Ed not so much...

Laura was great

Ed was AWFUL.

I enjoyed all of them, great bunch of Celebs this year.

I have a soft spot for Ore Oduba, I love his personality, but they all impressed me, even Ed Balls

Danny was brilliant I thought. Others looked capable. Ed Balls was balls.

Ore yes definitly. Greg better than expected, Tinder a bit upright and stiff in the body (fixable). Ed long way to go. Will - plenty to work with.

Girls Naga - better than expected, Louise OK but lacked definition and strength in places. Tameka - moves well but lacked control.

Couldn't focus on them all so that was all I got.

Tameka really stood out.

I thought Louise looked promising but most people in the thread seemed unimpressed. 😒

Disappointed after seeing the group dance that Anastacia isn't with Gio. That would have been the most fun all round -- both funny people. Opportunity missed.

Naga stood out, though that might just be the red dress. Laura looked good. The judge fella lacks inhibition.

Star performer: Oti.

I think they were all pretty good, although I will admit not paying too much attention to what Ed was doing. I didn't see anyone who I thought was terrible though. Should be a good group of contestants if the group number is much to go by!

I don't think there was any stand out duffers, everyone looked reasonably OK, we will know better when we see them individually

Couldn't actually tell a lot of anyone actually. Anastacia, Tameka and Naga looked ok though. Felt like I couldn't even see most though so still fairly clueless. Only standout rubbish one was Ed bless him haha. Even he wasn't an abomination though.

Claudia did a lot of standing poses and being lifted often a sign somethings not right, at the end she led the ladies out walking, this is a surprise but of alll, seemed avoided dancing. Ed was dad dancing, looked rather laboured.

The others all looked good.

Claudia and Ore looked best and quite natural. Lots of pretty good stuff from the rest. Three who looked below par were Greg - bless hm - Ed - giving it his all - and Naga - looked most uncomfortable in the lift.

yes - nail on head I think. Something wasn't right was it. I interpreted as stiff in the body but I think you are right he was too self conscious. I think Louise too sufered from that affliction. But put it down to first night nerves.

I agree, definitely Ore and Claudia. Couldn't really comment on the others yet but those two looked comfortable and stood out for me.

Only weak link seemed to be Ed. Rinder seemed a tad wild and Daisy, dare I say, appeared slightly stiff.

Main stand out for me was Ore.

Others that look good are Tameka, Anastacia, Will and Louise.

Little Claudia needs to spends the next few weeks walking around in heels, as she said she just isn't used to them as normally performs in bare feet. So will do well in Charlston.

I'm surprising myself here but Ore looked great - good body movements and lifting already! I was for some reason expecting him to be a fairly unremarkable contestant but he looks very promising indeed!

Ore stood out for me. I think he's definitely going to be one to watch.

Yes, Ore impressed me as well. But nobody seemed as bad as some previous years, all appeared to be well rehearsed and at least vaguely competent.

Yes, Ore did look good, and the very attractive blonde female celeb (sorry, can't remember her name at the mo). Ed Balls was dire & I thought Louise & Lesley weren't very good either.

Dervla!!!!!

I'm really cross he's not with her either. There was a discussion in the thread pairing spoiler that the producers probably swapped Laura and Anastacia at the last minute after GG break up. But, yes, they'd get on like a house on fire.

The Whitmore looked good, Naga looked elegant and Ed Balls looked ...... like he will be first out.

However I think Claudia and AJ could be the early runners.

The singing alone!!
