Strictly Come Dancing 2014

[FrankelandFilly]

Two celebs confirmed so far for the 2014 series:

Frankie from The Saturdays
Judy Murray (Andy's mum)

Not sure if they are deliberately only releasing one name at a time, but it can't be long before the big reveal.

So polish off your Cuban heels and slip into something tight and sparkly, it's almost here!

Shoulders need work, but I saw plenty of heel leads. Quite stiff but that could be nerves and I can see her improving in ballroom, but not sure how she'll fare in Latin.

They all seem to be doing dances that suit their characters this week don't they? CF is a funky sort of girl, max branding is a moody miseryguts, Judy is an elegant lady, hmmm, not sure about the antiques bloke.

I wonder what the end of the dance was supposed to look like?

It looked like a proper beginner's waltz, which I liked, but for one of Anton's partners that was not a good waltz and her frame's really poor.

Sniggering at Anton s bonny prince Charlie

Have we more or less established now that every dance is very difficult?

Judy's posture disappointed me and her hands/fingers.
She must put her shoulders down and back, and stretch her neck up longer.

That's exactly what I was thinking Polka, it was a simple routine but better that she has a simple routine than an over complicated one.

I think Judy and Anton look good together, and she was better than expected. I thought the comments would be slightly more complimentary - I didn't think it was that bad.

Jake was good, but I felt his feet were a little laboured.

It really annoys me that anytime they have someone Scottish on they dress them up in tartan and use a Scottish song. They did it with Kenny Logan too.
And I'm Scottish!

Very impressed with Jake and Caroline*

I no nothing about dancing *

** I don't let that stop me shouting at the telly

Were her arms a bit dodgy? She was properly crapping herself. Bless. Mull of Kintyre always makes me a bit teary

She was better than bargain hunt man

I love Scott Mills

Yeah Scott (I luvs him) Yes I know he's gay Go team Mills

She's teaching him foot pressure - hurrah!

I think these two will be lots of fun!

Hmmm, not loving Scott

I think he has lead weights in his shoes.

Bad choice of song; quite flat footed and timing a bit iffy for someone whose job is music! Needs more hips, better arms and more confidence?

Still luff him though

Dad dancing!

Crap routine

Joanne looks really good fun. I think she's going to be a brilliant addition to Strictly.

Oh dear, not good. He seems like a nice man but he has no talent as a dancer.
Footwork not the worst, though.

Is he a DJ?

Bet Robbie Williams was well chuffed to have his song murdered.
