We're off!!!

I think the top of the leaderboard is quite accurate.

Body ody

30. Fair enough. Danny Mac's week one cha cha cha was only 31.

I might be basing it off previous years TBF Jason. But I still love watching her dance, just not her VTs and ITT stuff.

@GurkeyTurkey

Shirley looks like she needs a cigarette now!

I can't wait to see Adam do the Paso.

@the80sweregreat

30, not bad. His a sportsman though, they are always good

I give you James Cracknell. But that last few dances made this marathon worth it.

If it was votes this week I'd be going :

Adam, John, Nina

Flavia! Erin!!

So many good dances this week!
They have been practicing their socks off .

Just wondering as I have this argument each year. Would these dances be considered real? Like a jive being a jive or cha cha being a cha cha?

Just because every year I watch this I have to hear how they aren't dancing the dances properly.

@Jellykat

Not all Simonjt what about Mo for starters?

Haha true

Lovely Flavia!

Want to see Pasha too!

Little Rylan is back!

I wish Rylan had left It takes two!

Dear god I need a lie down after Adam!

Aww, I miss Pasha

30. Fair enough. Danny Mac's week one cha cha cha was only 31.

Just watching Danny Mac's American smooth.

@GurkeyTurkey

A bit of me died when Pasha left Strictly...

...I wonder what he is doing now dance wise?

You'd get sent off the floor for a lot of the ballroom if you tried to dance it in a competition.

The Latin, some of it would be ok. Most of it is recognisable if I turn the music off, but there are definitely some that don't really look much like it (usually the 'disco' cha/samba).

I mean they're actual dances but are they "legal"? For want of a better word

Ooh. Do I vote for my favourites - AJ, John and Nina or do I vote for Dan, Ugo and Rose? Decisions, decisions

I miss pasha too.

Ahh on thanks Polka is there any defence because I have to deal with a grumpy old man saying " I can't see how they can call this dancing this isnt a cha cha they'd be lost if they were asked to do a proper one"?

@NCTDN

I miss pasha too.

Lovely bloke

And he had such beautiful classical lines
