To be honest most of them did fine on their first outing as 'new dancers'. Some better than others but it must have been nerve wracking for most of them. As much as I like Ore I thought he was a tad too confident and that might be his downfall as the time goes on. Naga seemed quite relaxed and I just love Judge Rinder.

![]() I hope he learns to tone it down a bit - otherwise I hope he is talented enough to warrant his self-confidence!

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...
![]() Ah well, we'll be seeing a lot of sticky-out bottom. Again. |

Anastacia was having great time with Gio but I felt it appeared more play fun rather than any partner chemistry that you need for some of the dances.
Play fun is more for the bad dancers who Anastacia isn't one of. |

Melvin looked proper cool but didn't really throw himself into it.

Melvin and Tameka together dancing very nicely although Melvin needs to be a bit more fluid, as was Tameka in that section.
Then we got treated to some laid back version of the dance from him. |

What is wrong with that? You need to be confident to be convincing. Why is confidence and ambition so frowned upon so much. I want sass and vim and vigour. It is better than Abbey "Me nerrrves" Clancy. I am a bit bored of anodyne being a desired personality trait.

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

Danny was brilliant .

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. To give him his due, he threw himself into it with all the gusto he could summon up!!! ![]() Quote:
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! |

Being over-confident leads to accusations of smug and such which is hardly something to entice people to vote. It certainly doesn't with me. Meek and unsure about yourself is often much better liked because its relatable. It's got that British sense about it, self-deprecation etc. |

I didn't see Greg Rutherford at all and I've watched the group dance 3 times!
He had a couple of little cameos either side of the "Daisy lift" one with Natalie and then a shimmying set with Ore, Daisy, Anton and Natalie. He looked OK (better than I expected) but clearly has some way to go to keep up with Ore! |

I' Is it Greg who is at the back of the still shot at the end to the right, who does lifts one of the dancers on to his shoulder? I think it is, if so that's pretty good.

Just watched it back and her confidence definitely grew as it went on and she got better.
![]() I only saw him at the beginning when he walked down the stairs and pointed. He just disappeared after that! ![]() Still excited by his & Oti's pairing and think he could be a real contender! BIB Excuse the pun... To give him his due, he threw himself into it with all the gusto he could summon up!!! ![]() From the moment he was announced, I knew and stated over and over that he would be a contender - but would anyone listen?? Favourite contestant just above Tameka & Danny. |

Danny was the surprise standout for me. A very good mover

Watching again I see:
My favourite part is the line about 'do the fly' where Claudia leads two other celebs on to the floor and in that moment Claudia is divine. Judge Rinder has great timing. Still think Naga looks awkward especially in her air lift. Rinder is also stiff Naga had an awkward descent from the lift but looked like she was loving it up there, her head was going ten to the dozen in time to the music! ![]() Quote:
Danny and Ore were my predictions as likely contenders pre-series and I'm still of that opinion.

Danny for me - it was unfortunate that he was wearing similar colours to the Pro male dancers as a lot of the time he looked like a pro!
I have high hopes for him ![]()

"BEST in the group dance?"
Aljaz - for that eye-popping booty-shake when surrounded by Naga, Louise, Katya & Oti. Phwoar!!! ![]() ![]()

On second viewing: - Ore is used twice to lift a celeb (Daisy and Naga), so assume that he will be strong with the lifts. - Daisy in front of judges desk - As one of three lifting Naga - Carrying Janette off whilst spinning just before the pros solo section Bodes very well for him... |

Claudia may have been divine but Lesley was absolutely dreadful in that section - she was off time, looked off balance...just, no

Clearly but the common link with your comment was "that section" o f the dance and I wanted to highlight Lesley. Hope that's ok?
![]() ![]() I feel the need to clarify again that I highlighted that section to pin point Claudia. Otherwise that section was not interesting to me. I'm done now. |

I've watched it loads and I missed Danny apart from the beginning so watched it again and really watched for him - I think someone said his downfall is he is dressed like the male dancers and I have to admit I kept merging him with Gorka but watching it for him, I noticed how good he is.
The competition group Ore Danny Claudia all three of these really stood out for me at different points The developers: These could be good and will have strong certain dances: Louise Laura Naga Will The entertainers. They'll be great to watch and will have some dance content Tameka Rinder Anastacia The fodder Greg Lesley Daisy Ed Not sure where he fits at the mo. As seemed to be playing it cool! Melvin |
