who do we think will be the early favourites? Who will get to the grand finale? Who will turn most orange?

It's starting now and I am very excited...!

I can't get enthused about Natalie tbh, what with all her experience.

FrankelInFoal · 05/10/2013 18:47

Natalie has a bit of a tendency to stick her bum out and her footwork was a bit hit and miss

FrankelInFoal · 05/10/2013 18:48

See, see - Len agreed with me Grin

Think susanna and Natalie were over marked and tony was very harshly marked.

Ifancyashandy · 05/10/2013 18:50

But they've never said that people with previous training can't take part Confused

Emma Bunton, Alesha, DVO etc - yes, they are all stage school trained but 'jazz hands' dancing is very very different to Latin & Ballroom.

elcranko · 05/10/2013 18:51

It's a shame because I think Natalie seems like a nice person but she won't win because her previous training will lose her votes.

Horsemad · 05/10/2013 18:51

Good call Frankel! Natalie's scores ridiculous for Week 2

Fiderer · 05/10/2013 18:51

I don't take to Natalie at all. That "Oh I'm dizzy" stuff in the VT was so made up.

I am a bit in love with Dave. Blush

Impomea · 05/10/2013 18:52

But she did look lovely and I love that Alicia Keys song

Chubfuddler · 05/10/2013 18:52

Is that a hairy biker?

His partner is gorgeous

Chubfuddler · 05/10/2013 18:53

I think Darcy is too. She was genuinely blushing.

digerd · 05/10/2013 18:53

She was very much a stage dancer leading with her toes and on her toes almost constantly. Did look good though as a show dance, but I missed the flow across the floor and the rise and fall.

Sparklingbrook · 05/10/2013 18:54

The props thing is grating my carrot a bit.

elcranko · 05/10/2013 18:55

Sparkling the props annoy me too.

I think Dave has improved since last week.

FrankelInFoal · 05/10/2013 18:55

Karen is engaged to Kevin.

I like Dave, he knows he's not the best dancer and had fun. Plus his posture looked to have improved from last week.

Sparklingbrook · 05/10/2013 18:56

The props add nothing-so cheesy and unnecessary.

Horsemad · 05/10/2013 18:57

Dave enjoying himself!

FrankelInFoal · 05/10/2013 18:58

Has anyone watched DWTS? Their prop use is bordering on obsessive!

elcranko · 05/10/2013 19:00

Ooh Patrick! I thought he was great last week so looking forward to seeing him again. I'm not sure who he is though?

FrankelInFoal · 05/10/2013 19:02

Hmm, Patrick is very stiff and keeps sticking his bum out.

MrsBramleyApple · 05/10/2013 19:02

Patrick is in Casualty and has been in The Bill. The singer murdered the MJ song!

SoleSource · 05/10/2013 19:03

pwoar Patrick

Fiderer · 05/10/2013 19:05

Frankel the judges are in your paddock tonight Wink
