Nikita is the new AJ.

AJ’s legs me of Alexandra Burke -( AJ the new AB??) I could watch them all day

And is it just me or did Tess seem a lot more natural and less irritating?

Justyou · 18/09/2021 21:35

I don’t think Giovanna is frumpy at she’s bloody gorgeous and seems so lovely from what I’ve seen.
Amy seems really lovely too and there’s no reason to imagine any bad feelings

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 18/09/2021 21:35

On first impressions its :

Rose, Ugo, John and Greg for me

WILLOUGHBY, you must understand..

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 18/09/2021 21:35

I like Greg.

His dad skipping there? Not so much.

The one who made me smile in the group dance was Rob Webb.

Rose, John, Rob will do very well I think. Final material.

I know nowt though.

Who says she's smug? You're projecting or insecure or something.

One dancer has covid. Not necessarily the same as the 2 unvaccinated ones.

Bejazzled · 18/09/2021 21:37

@ChequerBoard

Not sure about the rather strange very long crotch in Tess' jumpsuit?!?
Probably bought it from M&S 😉
Comefromaway · 18/09/2021 21:37

I thought she seemed funny and genuine

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 18/09/2021 21:37

And I think that Adam really could do something but I am gutted he was paired with Katya.

That has put me right off.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 18/09/2021 21:38

To be fair, my eyesight is rubbish and I much prefer wearing contact lenses when I'm dancing. If you're used to both contacts are so much easier — better peripheral vision and no risk of them slipping down your nose or flying off when you spin.

I could be wrong but why did I think Tom really wanted Amy because shes not known to ruffle feathers A la Katya etc or be a live mad wire a la Karen.

TalkedTooMuchStayedTooLong · 18/09/2021 21:39

Team JJ for the win!

I liked Greg (too much probably) but not sure he's a dancer... Rob makes me smile but I hope he closes his mouth when he dances for real...

Looking forward to getting started for real....

TheSpottedZebra · 18/09/2021 21:39

I think that Greg is obviously a luvvie, but he's also just out to have fun, and squeeze the most out of it. And if he looks a plum (damson?) whilst doing so, so be it.

I read the book he did with his sister and it was beautiful and heartbreaking, and I can well believe he's doing Strictly 'for her.

xsquared · 18/09/2021 21:39

Rees already looked like a pro in that dance. It will be interesting to watch Nancy with a celeb, so I hope they go far.

Like Robert Webb and Diane, I think they will be very entertaining.

Piggywaspushed · 18/09/2021 21:39

I always thought Kate Silverton looked funny dancing without glasses. So used to seeing her in them.

GrouchyKiwi · 18/09/2021 21:40

Fair point re Judi, Spotted, and Graz doesn't have enough fans to save them. But same for Nadiya, lovely though she is.

I really want her to have a good partner.

Aquarius1234 · 18/09/2021 21:41

Greg admits he cant dance. But maybe he could learn ?

I'm still salty that Kim from Eastenders (Tameka?) went out straight away. She would have been excellent.
SueSaid · 18/09/2021 21:41

'Oti is so amazing that she could drag a sideboard into the final, so a retired rugby player should present no problem.'

Yes if Bill Bailey had been with any other dancer last year he'd have been one of the first out.

Johannes and his partner to win imo. There's usually a few frumpy ish ones but this year most of them are Confused

cheeseisthebest · 18/09/2021 21:42

Love Nina. Think she will be good.

I though that! He has stage school kid written all over him.

Aquarius1234 · 18/09/2021 21:43

Rees is Karim no 2

TheSpottedZebra · 18/09/2021 21:45

@Aquarius1234

Rees is Karim no 2
Literally! But hopefully we won't have to suffer that CBBC scruffy dog puppet again.
GrouchyKiwi · 18/09/2021 21:45

Rhys is definitely Karim Mark 2.

Spotted I was also disappointed when Tameka left. She had a lot of potential.
