Danny and oti - not perfect but so much potential and some exquisite moments
Laura and Giavanni so much natural chemistry
Tameka what a trooper
Ed I was proud of you
Bit disappointed by will - they need to stop letting him pick outfits they ruin the look of the dance

1) So so so SO happy Laura topped the leaderboard!!
2) Feel sorry for Anastacia down at the bottom
3) I'm gutted Ed didn't get 40.
4) I know Louise is great & all, but I keep forgetting about her. She's really forgettable and her quiet personality doesn't help
5) Claudia way overmarked

Sneaky 6) It was an awesome show!

1, Danny and Oti. Just gorgeous.
2, Tameka. Throwing herself in, no holding back.
3, Lesley. Game old bird, hope I'm the same at 70.
4, Ed. I got him in the works sweepstake so hoping he survives.
5, Ore. Bit forgotten with such a long show.

1. I love Ed Craig's score was ridiculous .. he has extra vote's from me
2. Note to Len Greg's bum is lovely and can stick out as much as it like's as far as I,m concerned.
3. Wardrobe did well this week
4. Tess panic stricken when she thought Will needed a medic live on stage
5. I really want Ed to stay in.

1. Really thought whilst watching the training footage this week that Laura & Giovanni would be amazing and so they were. They didn't disappoint. So much chemistry there too. Gorgeous stuff.
2. Ed Balls is my new hero & I voted for him. Craig was unnecessarily mean. I thought he was fabulous tonight. Go Ed & Katya!
3. Felt really sorry for Anastacia and I think Brendan did really well to put an entertaining routine on given the circumstances. Hope they stay.
4. Louise and Kevin, who I really didn't think I'd like, are fast becoming one of my favourites. The song/dance combo was amazing. Their VW was dreamy.
5. Both Claudia's on point tonight. Claudia Winkleman hilarious as ever & Claudia Fragapane's Waltz with AJ was so sweet.

1. Bruno is hilarious. **** you, censorship!
2. Anastacia is a hoot
3. Ed Balls, despite clearly not being great - I find very endearing
4. Louise was amazing. She can thank her ballet and contemporary teachers
5. Is Daisy a stealth ringer? That lift looked quite advanced to learn in a week

1) I wonder how many different items the props team can make glitter burst forth from in this series
2) Katya's resting bitch face was out in force tonight - what a sneer!
3) I was enjoying the show and it felt like it must be reaching the climax of the last couple of dances but then Claudia said "7 couples to go" and I realised we were only just over halfway.
4) Ed Balls doing the Charleston will be on ALL the highlights VTs for this series - amazing!
5) Facial expressions aside, Judge Rinder is really learning how to dance and didn't get enough credit for being the first male celeb to do lifts this year.

1. The show was too long and felt like an anti-climax after last week.

2. Favourite dance was Tameka - the technique may not have been perfect but the character was great.

3. Danny was very good (as I expect he will be every week) but ruined by the weird suitcase bit at the start.

4. Hope Naga goes this week. She doesn't look like she's enjoying it at all.

5. Judge Rinder is giving me Lisa Riley vibes. There was no need for the overdone comedy this week as he can move.

1) Ed Balls is my new hero.
2) Gorka gets hotter week by week. 10 for that onesie from me.
3) More overmarking, props, comedy training videos that show virtually no training and dreadful music choices.
4) Claudia and AJ are my favourites, she's so nice!
5) Not keen on Ore one bit.

1. Laura and Giovanni's Waltz was my favourite of the night. Stunning routine and incredible chemistry on the dancefloor.
2. Ed and Katya deserved their standing ovation.
3. Louise and Kevin are final contenders.
4. Craig was unnecessarily harsh with Naga.
5. The music Greg and Melvin had didn't work for Tango.

Ed's timing for such a fast dance was superb
Liked the "swirl" AJ put in their dance
was waiting to see the chemistry between Naga and Pasha- there was lots on ITT, got nothing tonight
dont like so many celebs with previous experience, I'd rather see the journey's
I need to waft myself when Greg's on who knew

1. Week 2 and I am already irritated with Darcey's need to react when Craig gives his scores.
2. The best VTs were the ones actually showing the training and what was required to learn the dance as opposed to the "I was so pleased/surprised when..took me to..to show me..." ones.
3. I can't warm to Danny the pro but I love the song he danced to, liked the routine and Oti looked beautiful.
4. I held my breath before Claudia's dance when it was suggested that there would be gymnastics in the ballroom routine. I feared another "Artem" moment as I still cannot forgive the sight of beautiful graceful Kara performing a cartwheel during a foxtrot. Thankfully there were no gymnastics tonight.
5. Some beautiful frocks tonight and some strange trousers.

1. Poor scoring spoils it for me - ridiculous over and under marking.
2. Tameka not one of my faves but thought she did a great job tonight.
3. Greg's sticky out bum needs sorting asap.
4. Will really disappointing tonight - all too loose.
5. Ed deserves a few more weeks because of the way he is putting himself out there when he isn't a natural - takes guts.

1. Will was overmarked, an eight from Len? Not only did he go very wrong, but his technique was poor and those hands! An eight!!! Never.

2. Tameka however was marked down for her small mistake, an enjoyable charleston that she clearly enjoyed performing. It shows the difference when judges clearly have bias.

3. Great job from Kevin with the choreography for Louise tonight, beautiful and lyrical. A moment I lost myself in so didn't watch for technique. Quite moving.

4. Wardrobe can be very hit and miss, Will's trousers were falling down. Not a good look.

5. Great job from Lesley, great legs in the cha cha, actually much better then most of the other women's technique in the latin.


Little bonus 6, Danny is a good dancer, but I can't warm to him nor his dancing.
Oh, and Gio, don't ruin a great waltz putting Laura through your legs, completely out of place and ruined the whole thing for me.

1. I'd really like to swap a few of the couples as I either like the celeb and not the pro or the other way round...
2. Was pleasantly surprised by Claudia and AJ tonight
3. Gorka is very handsome!
4. Louise is a lovely dancer, I just find her a little forgettable
5. There seems to be quite a few celebs this year who seem to have had previous dance exp. (more so than usual)

1. Craig and Len being very mean to Ed Balls. 😤
2. Some bizarre costumes
3. Len criticizing Aljaz for putting a lift in Daisy's routine is ridiculous considering this week and especially last week, there were more obvious lifts and he doesn't notice. :-[ 😞👇
4. The scoring tonight was all over the place.
5. I did love the show though so don't think I'm an old grump. Louise stood out for me.

4. Miserable old miser Craig - his scoring was atrocious - its Week 2 fgs!!!
5. Len having a stern word with Bruno after he said "bollocks"

1 I have always liked Tess and think she's way better than the chap who used to do it.
2 Ed Balls! Where did that come from??? Wow.
3 Darcey - "...like the boys said..." Oh, do shut up, dear.
4 Craig - would it really hurt to smile??
5 I do love the Charleston. (Except when the likes of Aliona and Artem choreograph it. I'm glad they've gone.)
