Got to say Judge Robert has serious serious guts!! To come out first night and be that uninhibited. He'll be great for the show I think!

He was fab! Love him and Oksanna

Absolutely agree - thought he was fantastic!

They were brilliant. Couldn't take my eyes off him and could watch it again! Love how he's got a sense of humour too. He will be very popular.

I can't even begin to describe how much love I have for him at this moment!

Good strictly entertainment.

Yes, he was brilliant, I couldn't stop laughing.

He was great tonight . Very enthusiastic and clearly enjoyed it all . Once he sorts out the funny faces he'll look even better . Love him so far .

He was everything I dreamed he'd be and more.

He's everything SCD should be. No formal training just rhythm, hard work and a ton of enthusiam all wrapped up in a lack of selfconsciousness.

A winning combination?

I hope I'll be enjoying him for more than a moment! I'm hoping too that he and Oksana will produce some good ballroom dances all round. I like her as well as Robert and think they are a good pairing.

Yes best of the night for me for pure entertainment.

Some of it was little uncontrolled but yeah I liked him

He's certainly a born showman. For me it's a bit too early to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. It could go either way.

Silence in Court...all rise for the Judge

Thought he was wonderful! Great start!

Can't. Stop. Watching.

Just me then ? He annoys me

I genuinely love it! I'm not even watching for comedy value!

Stay right there, we need you. Otherwise this thread will be shoved into the attic.

I can't say enough good things about him. I wasn't at all sure what he would be like but he is Strictly material through and through

I will be watching for him every week!

I was not looking forward to him being on this show and thought he would be terrible, HE WAS BRILL He made the show much more entertaining tonight, It was a genuine surprise.

Very well done to Oksana for actually teaching some basic cha-cha-cha steps. He did very well, neat finish and it was an enjoyable routine and song. If he sorts out the gurning he should be one to watch. Best couple this evening.

Why is he judge rinder, rather than Robert?

He's bloody brilliant

I wasn't sure what to expect (other than I thought he might be a bit irritating) but I loved him and good to see he can dance as well as put on a show. Craig was right about his mouth being open all the time - he needs to curb that. I think his test will be the slower ballroom dances - if he can be restrained and dignified. He's going to be popular though.
