It would have been Ore & Joanne but Jo's choreography was dire.

So Greg & Natalie get my vote - until it all went a bit pigeon-toed I thought he wasn't bad at all!

I really enjoyed watching Robert and Oksana.

I wasn't expecting the spins and backflips from the judge!

Hilarious.

Has to be Greg and Natalie . Looks like it's going to be tougher then I thought for him to alter how he moves .

Robert and Oksana with Greg and Natalie coming a close second. Having said that, I think Naga and Ore will be great too. I couldn't take to Laura but hopefully she will grow on me. Leslie was better than I expected.

Lesley& Anton

judge rinder was the most fun to watch but i think ore was the best dancer.

I voted Nat and Greg but tbh it's going to be tricky this year as I like so many of them. Pre show my top favs were Greg and Will but I really enjoyed Naga and Ore last night and Rob Rinder was also a bit of a revelation.
I really would love for Nat and Greg to do well for the simple reason that Nat is my fav female Pro and i just want to see her take the glitterball as she so deserves it. I doubt that she will be doing many more series so hopes she can go the distance this time.

Rob Rinder for me, and I wasn't as surprised as everyone else seems to be. I had a feeling that he would be a good mover.

The only thing is that i think he will become very irritating very quickly, it's not just about the dancing for me.

Laura and Giovanni.

Content filled routine, great chemistry between them and Laura gave a strong and charismatic performance. Really enjoyable to watch. And I love the music, will be singing 'Venus' all weekend!

Where the poll says favourite I will be voting for my favourite, not necessarily the best dancer. My fave was Rob and Oksanna.

I thought the best dancer was Ore.

There is usually one irritating contestant every year, that was the dreadful Andre for me last year.

But I find Rob Rinder very entertainiing, and apart from a few exceptions, so do the majority of Forum members.

Ore, despite Joanne and her lousy choreography. Hope he goes far (although I have noticed some sneering towards him in the main episode thread; he does not come across as a Peter Andre type, not to me, anyhow)

Robert was fun to watch!

And I was pleased that Lovely Greg got off to a decent start; I hope he and Natalie will go far.
