If I get Julie's comments and scores today, the first show will go up tomorrow.

Thank you to Ross and Riley for scores and comments, and so far, the scores look reasonable between us 3!
But that never happens on a DS game

Ross: 3
Julie: 7
Riley: 2

Total: 17/40


Riley's Comment: Um.. At least you tried. But I wouldn't be suprised if you weren't voted to be the winner of this, either.


Another mixed bag of scores.


Katy Perry and Aljaz Skorjanec are up next.

Katy and Aljaz will dance a Tango to “Le Plus Beau Tango” by Claude Blouin

Scores:-

East: 8
Ross: 7
Julie: 9
Riley: 7

Total: 31/40

Ross's Comment:- Hold? Check. Footwork? Check. Traditional music? Check. Drama? ...not really. It's odd, Katy, you seemed to go into autopilot mode as soon as the music started, which robbed the dance of any intensity. It was technically fantastic, and I think tonight was just nerves, but try to engage with the character a little more next time.*


A fantastic score.

Will Pksparkxx Dathottness and Natalie Lowe's Waltz impress the judges?

Pksparkxx and Natalie will dance a Waltz to “I Wanna Love Somebody” by Angela Bofil

Scores:-

East: 5
Ross: 4
Julie: 9
Riley: 4

Total: 22/40



Riley's Comment:- I didn't like it. It had some good parts but mostly out of time, wrong posture.. It wasn't a good first dance.

Julie obviously enjoyed it more than the rest of us, will we or Julie enjoy George Osbourne and Katya Jones's Cha Cha Cha more?

George and Katya will dance a Cha Cha Cha to “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera


Scores:-

East: 2
Ross: 1
Julie: 6
Riley: 4

Total:- 13/40
East's Comment:- Never Mind Moves Like Jagger, just moving at all would be a miracle!


That 6 makes a difference to George's scores, otherwise I would have thought we could have been looking at the worst scoring routine ever! George managed to get a lower score than Ann Widdecombe did in Week 1!

Anyway, Natasha Raskin and AJ Pritchard will be dancing a Cha Cha Cha next.

Natasha and AJ will dance a Cha Cha Cha to “I Should Be So Lucky” by Kylie Minogue

Scores:

East: 7
Ross: 4
Julie: 8
Riley: 4

Total: 23/40

Julie's Comments:- "That was very good! Well done!"


A mixed bag of scores once more but then again it wouldn't be the DS Strictly Games Forum without a drastic score difference!

Anyway, will the judges be more united when it comes to Rylan and Joanne Clifton's Cha Cha Cha?

Rylan and Joanne Clifton will dance a Cha Cha Cha to “I Really Like You” by Carly Rae Jepsen


Scores:

East: 1
Ross: 5
Julie: 6
Riley: 5

Total: 17/40

Ross's Comments: Well, you had the acting down pat, Rylan, as it really was quite sweet in a funny way. What you don't have down, at all, are your limbs, which you were flailing about like they were made of silicone rubber. You had all the right steps, in the right order, just not necessarily in the right way.


Another set of low scores there. Will Karen Barber and Kevin Clifton's Waltz get a good score?

Karen and Kevin will dance a Waltz to “If It's Over” by Mariah Carey

Scores:

East: 7
Ross: 8
Julie: 3
Riley: 5

Total: 23/40


Ross's Comments:- Gorgeous. Not perfect by any means, but an excellent start. I would've liked a few more heel leads, and that fleckerl became more of a standing spin towards the end in the footwork, but in terms of content, technique, and performance, you've set the bar for this competition.


A score of 23, I'd say that is good going for week 1. Now, what treats do we have in store when Tom Daley and Oti Mabuse do a Cha Cha Cha.

Tom and Oti dance a Cha Cha Cha to “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke

Scores:

East: 8
Ross: 6
Julie: 9
Riley: 6

Total: 29/40

East's Comment:- Tom, that was fantastic, the movement across the floor, the hip action, the rhythm, the timing, that was a really good debut dance.


29 out of 40, That is a good score.

Will Yvette Cooper and Gorka Marquez impress the judges with their Tango?

Yvette and Gorka will dance a Tango to “Disturbia” by Rihanna

Scores:

East: 5
Ross: 6
Julie: 2
Riley: 3

Total: 16/40

East's Comments:- Well I was disturbed by your posture, you need to get that sorted out, and mostly, your Footwork was good, everything just needs tidying up a bit, but not bad at all.

I can't believe this but judging by her scores, it looks like her husband Ed Balls on the real Strictly will do better than She has!

Now, can Nicola Adams and Anton Du Beke impress the judges with their Waltz?

Nicola and Anton will dance a Waltz to “Their Hearts Are Dancing” by The Forester Sisters

Scores:-

East: 6
Ross: 5
Julie: 5
Riley: 6

Total: 22/40

Julie's Comment:- "That was awful"

Well, despite Julie saying that was awful, 22 out of 40 is one of the highest scores so far. Now can Larry Lamb and Karen Clifton improve on that score?

Larry and Karen will dance a Jive to “Crocodile Rock” by Elton John

Scores:

East: 5
Ross: 6
Julie: 8
Riley: 5

Total: 24/40

Ross's Comment:- Well, your kicks and flicks certainly had gusto! You looked like you were trying to kill a particularly frightening spider. But you know what? The whole thing made me smile, and you actually had a lot of content for a week 1 dance. A genuinely good start.

A good set of scores for Larry and Karen there, now what is in store for Charlene White and Neil Jones for when they dance a Cha Cha Cha.

Scores:

East: 6
Ross: 6
Julie: 7
Riley: 5

Riley's Comment:- You tried, you had fun. Lots of effort. Well done for that. However, I feel like you could have done more and maybe hide that free arm next time.

Finally, A set of scores that make sense!

Finally, Liam Payne and Chloe Hewitt will dance a Waltz.

Hello and Welcome to Week 2 of Strictly Glitz Into The Ballroom Series 2.


Our marvellous judges this week are:-

Callum (doctorwhofancal)
John (JohnStannard)
Nick (winter99)
Izzie (IzzieStar)


Tonight, our 14 couples will dance to be through to next week. There will be an ELIMINATION this week, I'll sort out the poll at the end, I'll add the judges points and public points together and the 2 couples with the lowest votes will HAVE to face a Dance Off, if the Judges can make it, that'll be good, if not, I'll just go by their scores when I announce the results. If by any chance it's a tie, I'll randomise it.


Our first couple tonight are Hillary Clinton and Pasha Kovalev.

Hillary and Pasha will dance a Waltz to “Moon River” by Audrey Hepburn


Scores:-

Callum- 5
John- 3
Nick- 7
Izzie- 7

Total = 22/40

Callum's Comments:- Comment: It was an improvement on last weeks performance and it sustained a beautiful flow but your footwork is terrible. You need to relax that, it's like they're not connected to your upper half.


That is not a bad score for Hillary and Pasha, and they have considerably improved on last week's scores.


Will Rylan and Joanne Clifton's Foxtrot woo over our judges?

Rylan and Joanne will dance a Foxtrot to “Shout Out To My Ex” by Little Mix.


Scores:-
Callum- 5
John- 5
Nick- 6
Izzie- 5

Total = 21/40

Izzie's Comments:- ‘Manic’ would be an understatement. There was an energy unlike anything we’ve ever seen in a Foxtrot before and your footwork and frame paid the price. I’m excited to see the Latin though. Very excited.


21/40 and our judges seem more or less in agreement, will that continue when Tom Daley and Oti Mabuse dance?
