Strictly '21 #3: Week one and on!

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

We're off!!!

I'm going to divide my votes between Ugo because that was a bloody good effort after going to his dad's funeral today and Robert Webb because I think he'd be good if he stopped trying to be funny so needs to get to about week 4.

Duran Duran still sound good

Judi - a steady performance but yet again, rhythm and attitude. Overmarked but love the real friendship between them.

AJ - wow! Girl can move! Posture wasn’t perfect but my word, Week 1! Let’s see if she can carry it over to the ballroom.

Adam - lacked straight legs in quite a few places. Think nerves might have got the better of him tonight as I was expecting something more. He has rhythm and presence on the dance floor though. Bottom stuck out a bit too.

You could say "They did some Cuban breaks!"

(They might be the only recognisable cha cha steps in there, but they're there in 90% of Strictly cha chas )

I'm really behind but just wanted to add that Graziano has really grown on me now, he seems very sweet for a pro. His English seems to have come on a lot too.

Also with the PP about Kai being 26?! He looks at least 36.

guess which doofus tried to vote online and was confused there was nothing there

Is there not anyone leaving this week?

memorises Cuban breaks

Thanks! I'm not generally into dancing but watch it for a little light entertainment so yeah does irritate me when he says it

EVERY. TIME.

I'll take what little scraps I can get 😁

@SequinsandStiIettos

Duran Duran still sound good

A well chosen song, too

Salut Ed! Wish I was in Paris now. They have a wrapped arc de triomphe Christo installation as well as the Global Citizen gig.

@the80sweregreat

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

James Cracknell, David James, Ugo.....not so good

No coveting and I know that they don't eliminate til week two, but still thought scores and votes were carried over to week two.

Ok, so some sports people are not that great at dancing 😂
Adam reminds me of Jake wood

Rachel Riley wanted Pasha to quit because of the curse of Strictly (I read). Shame, he was so good to watch, and a nice man.

@AnneShirleysNewDress

Loving Anton giving out advice. I hope Bruno never returns.

SNAP!

I'm late to the party (I was writing a sermon), so am watching on catch-up and scanning this thread.

I'm glad that the marking seems to have calmed down a bit and the stupid 9's in week one aren't happening.

They need a lesbian judge. 3/4 fancy blokes and no idea about Anton.

@2Rebecca - quite right!

Watching a bit behind. So glad it’s back. Was nervous local boy Adam would be a dud but nope. Some great performances tonight and plenty of room for improvement for those who were lagging a bit behind. Looove it!

Antrim's married (to a woman) and has extremely cute twins.

Aww, I miss Pasha
I missed last week and didn't know he'd left. Where is he now? I loved him too!

They are cute children !!
He is a nice man.

@WeAreTheHeroes

There's chemistry between John and Johannes - John's partner/husband didn't look too happy.

I thought that was why they threw him a bone by mentioning him - to try to convince him that Johan and Johannes weren't shagging.

If it's the same one (and he hasn't dated two Pauls) he was going out with him when he was on the Bake Off. He's an architect and drew up the plans for John's gingerbread model of the coliseum.

@FannyCann

Aww, I miss Pasha I missed last week and didn't know he'd left. Where is he now? I loved him too!

I think he left 2-3 years ago now didn't he?
