Oh WOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!! Enough said.

Too many couples, but good nontheless

Think we are in for a good comp with Ray, Spooner and Mark from the Guy celebs and Louisa, Emma standing out in the group dance in my opinion.

Hi Stinkies Dad - how is stinky these days?!!

Yeah , I agree they made a very good start.

Hello again Seymour!!!

Am exhausted after watching the prog tonight. Thoroughly enjoyed myself once the first two dancers were out of the way.....

It's all looking very positive (even though I have developed an inappropriate desire to see the great Dane do well )

Brilliant, happy show. X Factor has even fiercer competiton this year

Gutted that Nicole has left. She's amazing.

On a happier note, OMG how hot was the pro dance?! Brendan and Matthew looked fiiiiiiiine in their Paso!

Mark & Karen and Ray & Camilla were my faves.

yeah I agree, the paso was faaaab

spots you will be coming over to the blue wont you

Hi Spots, nice to see you, to see you nice!

I have been quiet since I joined the forum but I can't hold my silence any longer...

Was out during the live show but taped it so watched it with a friend at 2 o'clock this morning. My money so far is on Mark (dodgy eyebrows but that gorgeous smile!) and Karen, and Camilla (someone else said that she looked different and I agree - now I am not suggesting she has had something done...) and Ray.

Ray - was he not a true sex god on that dancefloor last night? I was screaming obscenities at my TV screen - he was so so hot!! *fanning self* And Ola - I am a straight female but even I was ogling at her gorgeousness and my eyes were all on her for the entire routine she did with Spoony...

As for the female celebrities - Louisa was exceptionally good - those arms and lines! I was also pleasantly surprised at Carol but maybe Matt is just an incrediable lead. Only time will tell.

Last but not least - Anton and Erin doing the quickstep - I would sell my soul and my flat plus one of my kidneys to dance like that. I knew I fell for that man for a reason...

Welcome Frodora. How do you mean or how did someone else mean that Camilla looked different. She looked the same as always or was something missed?

What I want to know is since when has Tess Daley had such a strong northern accent? Sure she's always spoken with a northern accent, but it seems really really strong these days. I thought Camilla looked a bit different too, like she had maybe had some dental work done or something?

Looks like the special Martin spotting goggles will have to be donned next week, certainly missed that or them.

Missed the very begining last year
Thought every couple danced on the first night, I know a female went out in the first week, so is it different this year?

Yes, it's different this year. I suppose with fourteen couples something had to be done.

In previous sereis' all the couples danced. This time around, only the male celebs danced, with the females providing an exhibition dance (not judged, although very probably noted!)

Next week it will be all female celebs dancing (and I assume with a male celeb exhibition dance)

Thoroughly enjoyed it, the pro dance was just fab, several of the male celebs made very good starts (Go Mark, Go Mark ) and although I'm a bit gutted Jimmy didn't go (I have an irrational dislike of him) I'm eagerly looking forward to ITT all week and next Saturday's show.

I know what you mean, Agent K. I also have an irrational dislike of Tarbie (though I think his daughter Lisa is fab). Perhaps SCD4 will help me to overcome it. It will not be the first time that I have been won over by someone previously disliked.

Gawd it makes you smile, great stuff as usual, and I am thoroughly looking forward to the next twelve or so weeks. Gald SCD is back, at last something to make me smile.

I enjoyed it, but it went on too long. Too many couples this year - even only showing half of them had me looking at my watch!

i just hope the pro male dancers can concentrate on the dancing this year rather than be distrqcted by the ample cleavage of their partners.

Hmmm... I don't want to offend any Camilla fans here but maybe somewhere in the middle of her face?? She just looks different. Better! But more than that.

Or maybe she just gets more beautiful as she gets older?

Or perhaps I am just jealous that she is dancing with Ray.

will be glued to the set on Sat, evening. No offence taken but defo missed it!

It's a West Coast swing/East Coast swing battle-style dance, apparently. That should be, err, interesting!
