5 thoughts allowed for each show because it's a double bill.

1) Rinder made me howl with laughter - what a complete surprise with fantastic energy and a great partnership with Oksana.
2) Lesley really threw her acting skills into that and I didn't expect such a high standard - they were underscored.
3) Ore is far too cocky and overconfident - could become very unlikable. I agreed with Len about lack of content and he was overmarked.
4) Greg and Natalie are a fantastic partnership - they look stunning together and Greg has a great personality and attitude to it.
5) Naga really needs to soften/relax and become less intense about it all otherwise I can see her leaving soon.

1. The boys were looking much better than the girls - Rinder was completely unselfconscious, he will go far, if they dont force him into the joke category

2. Oreh - a little goes a long way, I can also see him becoming tiring, although hope not for Joanne's sake, as he can clearly dance

3. Liked the training videos, hope they keep this style and miss out the gimmicks

4. Greg can dance !! yeah, he was far from perfect but Natalie has something to work with and go to the final with

5. Great to have Strictly back

Well I can't put 5 better points than these. I mimick all 5. Totally agree

1. Judge Rinder looks like Vicky Pollard when his mouth is open
2. Naga had the best dress tonight
3. Ore's wife looks just like Joanne
4. Lesley did very well as the oldest contestant
5. Natalie hid Greg's flaws very well indeed

1. Lesley looked much better than I feared. Latin may be another story.
2. Frock horrors all round.
3. The men all look to have potential.
4. Can someone have a word in Joanne's ear about "faffin arand".
5. Based on what we've seen so far, Naga looks like an early boot.

Sneaky 6. Who gave Craig happy pills?

1. Judge Rinder's stomach turned mine. Please, fellas..if it isn't a perfect six-pack put it away.
