She seemed awkward, Vicky. I kept thinking she was going to fall backwards.

They went out of sync at one point.
Craig is right. Not snappy enough so retraction wasn't quite there.

I thought it was completely the opposite!

Yes I agree

Did they deliberately give her a slowed down jive? To make it easier?

It felt like she struggled a bit with that.

I've been pretty underwhelmed so far 😕

What would Bal have to do to get a 10 from Shirl. 🙄 LV would get through just by walking to the corner shop

There were quite a few mistakes in Vicky's dance

I’m still catching up but I do think Bal consistently gets tougher feedback/marking than some other celebs. I liked the dance, not the most memorable but I agree she is a great story teller.

I just don’t get what it is Shirley/judges don’t like. I wonder if Julian doesn’t yet have a handle on what the UK judges and audience are looking for?

Nikita/Amber - yes great but there is just no chemistry. Its like watching robots neatly processing dance by numbers. I couldn’t see 10s, however competently executed.

I liked Alex’s waltz but I love watching the Alex and JoJo together. Its the opposite of Amber and Nikita, they really look like partners.

Antons a belter 🤣

Vicky struggles with the faster dances I think. That was pretty weak and I would have her at the bottom of the leaderboard from the dances we’ve seen so far.

I suspect Vicky is not fit enough for a jive. She's quite tall too which makes it harder.

Same!

They were and yet no judge comments on it.

Not a great evening so far. Hope Lewis and Katya rescue it.

If that gets 9s, I'll be very cross.

Shredded banana dress.

I was v impressed that she did the splits! Wow

Yes. It’s been a bit flat.

Very supportive audience, strictly.

Vicki may be in the DO then.

I’m sure I’ll be in a minority but I thought Kai was a lot better looking before he got the turkey teeth, his smile really puts me off, only looks good to me from a distance when he’s not smiling.

I am not a fan of Vicky, she’s too over the top - acted like she’d not seen her dogs for years.

No squealing tonight!

I noticed no-one booed Craig when he was critical of Bal, it seemed odd, as if no-one there cared. 😥

Vicki’s eye makeup is gorgeous.
