Shameless place marking!

Figgygal · 23/09/2018 07:40

Checking in
Just watched Graeme and Oti
I love her and still feel mesmerised by those hips

TheSassyAssassin · 23/09/2018 07:43

Ta muchly Mozzie! Hope you got some sleep 😴

MyNameIsJane · 23/09/2018 07:44

I thought Vick was good! Confused

Oti & Graeme - very stylised and I loved it.

I’m afraid SC is the one who should go next week.

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 23/09/2018 07:49

Hoping to join the thread a bit late!

Watched on catch-up last night and was pleasantly surprised to see that Joe and Lauren caught my eye rather than the ringers! Although Danny was very smooth and stylish. Thought Vick was much worse than I’d expected and Graeme much better. Gorka has his work cut out with nurturing Katie through this - she seems terrified.

Ashley loves herself a little bit too much!

Was surprised to enjoy Kevin and Stacey - she’s quite engaging to watch as a dancer but her voice really grates on me...

Figgygal · 23/09/2018 07:49

My 6yo says Diane and Joe will win
We shall see

ApolloandDaphne · 23/09/2018 08:00

Great first show last night. SC was the only real clunker. Can't wait to see how it all unfolds. DH and I think Joe will do very, very well.

mogloveseggs · 23/09/2018 08:16

Hey! Thanks for the new thread mozzie
I am ashamed to say I’d probably like that book Blush
Dessert suggestions noted for next week.
Maybe Joe will win then from what inescorted joemalone and nosugar have said? Dd isn’t into him she loves Pasha . Ds (who’s 6) wants Aliaz to win. They never bother about the celebs just those two professionals.
I do think Amy did a lovely job of choreographing. Off to watch their dance again.

mogloveseggs · 23/09/2018 08:16

unescorted so sorry!

Clawdy · 23/09/2018 08:23

Checking in. Joe, Danny and Lauren for me. Vick tried a bit too hard, and trying to reply to all the judge's comments never works.

digerd · 23/09/2018 08:30

I don't know their names yet, but no.1 wowed me with his skill and obvious training. Also the tall black guy all in red is a natural and obviously trained.
Last pussy cat doll was also the best female and trained dancer and Susanna the worst.

love the new profi tall, blonde, show-girl type who reminds me of my fave Natalie who has left.
Lots of promising celebs this year.

Checking in , thanks for the new thread Mozzie :)

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 23/09/2018 08:41

DS tells me Joe has over 8 million subscribers on YouTube. That’s a massive fanbase.

It wil be interesting to see if he can do what Jay did - combine a massive existing teenage fanbase with a whole new demographic of women of a certain age. I suspect not in the same way, although they may want to feed him up!

Figgygal · 23/09/2018 08:43

Doesn't the previous years winner usually come back and do their most famous dance and hand over the glitter ball? I thought they did that on the first episode back? Or did I miss it?

CaptainBrickbeard · 23/09/2018 08:45

How is Joe going to cope with other dances though? He is nimble and quick but can he be commanding and strong? I can’t see him having the presence for a tango and how will he lift Diane in a salsa or Charleston? He’s not strong enough, surely?

EvilRingahBitch · 23/09/2018 08:45

I came in mid show and rewatched.

Danny was great but will need to work hard. No risk of him being overshadowed by his partner - this pairing will be all about him (which is fine).

Vic wasn’t good but she wasn’t that bad. I had high hopes but I think Graziano just doesn’t have the skills as a teacher/choreographer. Craig needs a round of applause for complaining that the dance was the Graziano show.

Ditto Darcy for slapping Anton down and telling him to ditch the props and let Susannah dance. I could have kissed her. Susannah isn’t a good dancer but she’s working hard and deserves better. (Also bitter because her score’s screwed up a couple of my “lowest score” guesses in Monkseal’s quiz/sweepstake).

How gorgeous did Katya look in that tango dress? She’s obviously still got a few choreographic tricks up her/Neil’s sleeve and she’s going to need them because Shaun is not very good.

CaptainBrickbeard · 23/09/2018 08:45

Figgy, it should have happened I the launch show but Joe pulled out due to scheduling conflicts I think.

TwistedStitch · 23/09/2018 08:46

I thought the standard was really high, pleasantly surprised by Joe, Graeme and Dr Ranj. Just had a look at YouTube, Joe's dance already has 156,000 views. The next closest is 20k!

EvilRingahBitch · 23/09/2018 08:47

Joe M was going to come back in the launchshow Figgy but didn't due to “work commitments”/a row over which dance to perform depending on who you believe. It’s a weird one.

Juells · 23/09/2018 08:47

Was surprised to enjoy Kevin and Stacey - she’s quite engaging to watch as a dancer but her voice really grates on me...

I really like her.

That girl with the big hair (don't know her name) is astonishingly beautiful.

Wasn't that keen on the Steps woman, she looked like she was already a good dancer, while making much of "this is going to be a different kind of dancing".

Graeme Swann was so lucky to get Oti.

Figgygal · 23/09/2018 08:50

Aw must have missed that with Joe that's a shame

TSSDNCOP · 23/09/2018 11:15

I’ve got as far as Ashley. I was very, very impressed with AJ’s choreography. I hope Anton stops horsing around and helps Susannah.

Meanwhile if it’s possible Tess is even more wooden this year. She’s had years on this show now and she still can’t deliver her script.

ManicUnicorn · 23/09/2018 12:03

It's interesting that people mention Jay appealing to ladies if a certain age. I saw the Strictly tour that Jay was on and went he'd finished his jive, a row of 50plus women sat in front of me stood up and gave him a standing ovation, I nearly pissed myself laughing. I mean he was good, but he wasn't THAT good, and in all honesty Anita and Gleb were better and got the loudest cheers in the arena that night.

These women seem to have moved on to AJ now. It's creepy and weird. Imagine if these were ageing men obsessing over early 20 something women? Urghhh.

AppleKatie · 23/09/2018 12:13

Hahahaha irony! That is literally the world 😂

katienana · 23/09/2018 12:30

So I was actually in the audience last night. It was amazing, so exciting! I can't wait to watch it on catch up so I can spot myself and take it all in.
Favourites on the night - Joe, Danny, Dr Ranj, Graeme and Lauren. Katie was shaking coming down the stairs at the start. But lots of them were nervous. Graeme probably the least nervous of all! He was very relaxed on his cricket bat Grin
We saw Joe after the show and told him we think he'll win. His routine was so fast and energetic and made us want to join in. Great tune too. Dr Ranj was a big surprise, missed a bit of his routine though as we were behind the door!
The performance level was incredible from mist of the celebs, I think it's going to be an awesome series and any of the top half could top that leader board.
