I gave her another 8 this week because I thought despite the injury the routine was brilliant& Lesley got a 2 cos it was like Anton dancing with a Trouser presser from the 1930s

Yes, but it's about how well the contestants dance, not the routine And Anastacia danced pretty terribly

I'm currently down two sets of marks and one of the judges hasn't been online since Monday, so if anybody would like to judge last night's dances either state below or send me a PM.

My scores are in, if they're not too late! My Dad was visiting last night, so only just finished watching.

Strap in for the long haul, because it’s out longest show of the series…

Last weekend the fifteen Strictly couples danced for the very first time. That was before a time of Ed Balls in skin-tight jeans strumming his banjo though, and tonight’s dances could have made all the difference to what you (and the public) think of the fifteen couples.

The foursome who will be picking over tonight’s dances are:

Lewis (lewismacf)
Nicolas (NicPlays)
Queenie (dancing.queen)
Ross (Monsieur23)

Kicking off tonight’s show were Ore and Joanne…

Queenie:
Well, it was nice of Joanne to put herself front and center in this routine! She can dance - we know that, she's a professional - and you're not that bad when you actually get to perform real Cha-Cha content. PS. don't open your mouth next week cos you're quite annoying xx

Something tells me that Queenie didn’t donate her free votes to this couple…

...better than last week, and a step in all the right directions! This week I genuinely felt you danced, rather than performed steps, and your footwork was extremely clean with good flow. Just watch your shoulders at times; I know there's a height difference but your neck looked a bit stumpy at times, and as a gymnast I know for a certain you can extend it next time.

Quite a range of scores going on there, with Ross and Queenie meeting in the middle ground…

TWO MARKS FEWER

Will and Karen are our next couple up for comparison…

Craig really wasn’t having any of those suggestions he was going soft in his desperate grasp to be head judge, was he?

Erm, it was a bit of a disappointment. You've got the basics pretty well but you kept making several mistakes which will cost you points.

In the absence of a five (despite the absence of the eight), it’s just the minimal difference of…

I'm so happy that you were as good at Latin as I thought you'd be! Don't get me wrong; there's improvement to be made, and it was a bit wild, but it was well acted, dramatic, and I award you the Felicity Kendal Memorial "SO BENDY" award for those dips.

It seems Anton’s trousers weren’t the recipe for success for Nicholas, meaning…

Looking to Tango into next week, it’s Greg and Natalie…

Hideous song choice. Who on this crazy weird society on the planet earth would pick Jump for a Tango? Anyway, you did pretty well, but you need to stop sticking your bottom out. I'm sure the ladies love it, me not so much. But otherwise pretty good.

Do not underestimate the power of the Rutherford rear…

Tameka and Gorka have the honour of bringing us the first Charleston of the series…

Ah, it happens every year, the dance I just completely disagree with the judges on technically. Craig commended you on your swivel... no? I mean you had about the same as Ed, who got dinged for his. Also the pull-under move went quite awry, but I will say that you recovered extremely well. Like last week, I feel you danced with your personality more than your body, and I'd like to see more technique from you, as, based on the launch show, you can do it.

A smidgeon of a split between the panel leaves Tameka and Gorka with…
