(As you can see I tried with the tipi over Aljaz's name, but DS just isn't having it.)

The BEST Cha-cha-cha EVER!!

In reality, the Strictly judges marked this to be the best Cha Cha Cha ever.

TWO MARKS MORE

Bringing a flavour of Spain to the dance floor, it’s Tameka and Gorka…

I actually adore Tameka as a person but this was underwhelming. Fern Britton levels of skirt flapping and the decision to have a week one Paso was bizarre.

Pop open the sangria, have a siesta etc etc because Tameka and Gorka receive…

ONE MARK MORE

Bringing some zest to the floor, it’s Anastacia and Brendan…

The real joy of this dance was seeing just how far Brendan will descend into ‘not giving a shit’ levels while performing a soft-porn routine…

I didn't think Brendan's choreography would ever reach bacofoil standards again, yet this cha-cha-cha certainly reached a new level of crazy. The borderline penetration on the chair was a new low for softcore pornography.

Apparently these lot are outta love for Anastacia…

TWO MARKS FEWER

Next up is a guy who might have been involved in some politics, they didn’t really mention. Ed Balls and Katya…

At least he’s stopped giving his set-piece, soundbite interviews a smidge. Forget your Darren Gough, that’s a true journey right there.

Well, he certainly wasn't as terrible as I was expecting but all eyes were definitely on Katya here. Nicely choreographed and at least Ed managed one reasonable performance before he inevitably reaches first boot territory next week.

There’s damning with faint praise, and then there’s Jess’ comment…

FIVE MARKS FEWER

Bringing their routine to the floor, it’s Claudia and AJ…

For me, the flips and tricks don't do anything to me, it showcases your personality but adds nothing to the dance. It was average at best for me.

Even that eight can’t salvage this score…

ONE MARK LESS

Finally, it’s Will and Karen…

I think you might be really angry with Karen, Will! It was stunning, well done!!

A split, it would be fair to say…

As you can, the usual little shiftings around with Ed Balls even climbing a place by merit of a tie in the leaderboard, but the real story here is Robert and Oksana who climb a whopping seven places up the table! Meanwhile Danny Mac takes his slinky hips straight to the top of leaderboard.

It could all change next weekend though. See you then.

According to Wikipedia, Danny Mac spent several years understudying the role of Boq in the London performance of Wicked.

He is therefore a musical theatre luvvie and not a filthy, FILTHY soap star, and I can feel no angiush about him being top of the leaderboard, or my marks coinciding with the number of "pac" revealed on his abs each week...erm, yes, professionalism, right..!

Always a pleasure to see this series back, entertaining as ever!

I have seen him in musical theatre in the past year and can confirm this.

This (plus Queenie's general disdain for middle-aged women) is always a highlight of the Strictly season. I never thought I'd see Judge Rinder come third on any type of leaderboard, for starters.

According to Wikipedia, Tameka has also appeared in various theatre productions...do her abs not quite stand up to the luvvie test?

I'm not sure if you're referring to Danny's (now broken) anti-Soap 'star' crusade or this game, but if it's the latter then thank you very much.
