Strictly 2023 Thread 2 - Let's Take To The Floor NO SPOILERS

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Carry on!

Everyone always talks about how his extensive dance experience is totally irrelevant - it isn't. He knows what it is to learn steps which total amateurs don't.

The young woman? 🤔

Face like a wet weekend stood up smiled and applauded that one!

Has a background in dancing and musical theatre before strictly. Did dance lessons from a young age to a good standard

Layton needs to learn to rein it in. At some points it looked like Nikita was trying to restrain him rather than dance with him.

Thank you. 😊

Yes, I like seeing Pro Nikita dancing to his full ability.

I think Nikita was amazing- he looked better than he ever has!

Leyton could be unbelievable if he gets thee humility to improve in this and not just keep doing his own thing.

In another league though

Layton wasn’t as polished as I thought he’d be and he is more humble and nervy than I thought he’d be. I like him.

Of course Layton is a ringah but there's something very lovely about him and I can't not like him.

Love that it allowed Nikita to properly let loose

LOL - Leyton laughing at Shirley's double entendre!!

You don't need a crystal ball to know that the public will start putting Layton in the bottom 2 in a few weeks time because they don't like the advantage he has over the other contestants, the judges will save him every time because he is the best dancer and someone who has only just started learning to dance will go home. Oh and he will become the judges favourite and they will put him at the top of the leader board every time even when he makes mistakes and someone else doesn't.

It isn't fair. He seems like a lovely talented lad but it just isn't fair.

Nikita is an absolute joy to watch.

Thanks CrushingOnRubies too.

I like seeing good dancing in the earlier weeks. I do wish they'd start with lower scores in general. Not far to go from a 7.

I keep seeing the mardy faced woman in the audience now...she is annoying me! If you're going to snag a ticket to Strictly you could at least pretend to be enjoying yourself - could have given your place to someone far more deserving!

What did she say?

ok time for a snack break. I cannot watch Graz and Zara is annoying too. Sorry Graz lovers.

He's very likeable because he's very comfortable in his own skin and that is extremely attractive

Did Tess just announce "Zara McDoughnut"??

Just realised it was his sister who I thought was his mum, thought she looked amazing to have a son his age

There wasn't much samba. If he can listen and learn from Nikita they'll be amazing.

Shirley said she was looking for quality downstairs

Looked to me like Nikita was not holding back and he did seem the superior dancer. They did look like they were having a competition with each other.

I saw Zara saying she was an introvert but wasn't she on Love Island??
