I can't wait for Strictly Come Dancing tonight...

[georgepig]

if only to see Brendan Cole and i dont reckon he'll be around for long with Jo Wood!

Think Tuffers will be hysterical though.

Who are we tipping to win/be 1st one out?

Oh yes, fingers crossed we get to see more of Anton this year.

So true PurlyQueen - although feeling she's going a tad too far with her exaggerated laugh? Who knows, it might be real? Think I'm being a bit harsh?

YooHoo Ria. Tuffers.

Sorry- but Alesha really is terrible. She doesn;t know whether to be nice to the dancers or a bitch. She's doing neither well. What a mistake on to put her on the panel...

Tuffers - not as daft as I thought he might be.

and actually rather promising.

OOOH - Brendan next. Can't wait.

Aleesha's had some intensive training.

She hasn't told anyone that they deserve marks simply for wearing pink this week.

I wouldn't mind looking like Jo Wood when I am a Granny!

BBA I was thinking the same thing.

Not too keen on Jo Wood - looks like she was trying to keep up with Brendan all the time.

He really had to shove her around the floor. Boo Hoo guess Brendan won't be in for long.

Did they style Jo on Peggy Mitchell?

i think jo will be knocked out tomorrow.

Ricky W is dancing very well and looks very handsome too.

MMM- like Ricky.

He is lush [drool emoticon].

Hi! Am still catching up as Sky +ed it. Just seen Jo and Brendan. So far:

Suprised that I liked Natalie
Tuffers did well
I love Anton and pleased he should have a decent run this year
I love Brendan too but Jo was not good.

I feel sorry for Aleesha. She's not great but it's not really her fault as she's not an expert. Stupid BBC for getting rid of Arlene!

Have the hots for Ricky - how good was he! I am a bit of a hollyoaks slut anyways so he was my guilty pleasure even before he danced. Glad to see he's not just a pretty face (and sensational body!).. sorry, getting carried away a bit!

My girl crush is Zoe - such a sweet girl - and she looked lovely tonight x

RIGHT.
have just watched on iplayer. bruno made a TERRIBLE face at alesha when she scored someone (craig, was it?) 5 and he scored them 6. worth having a gander at, seriously, if looks could kill... it was absolutely 100 per cent a 'wtf do you know?'

Yep, saw that too Aitch.

She seems to be marking lower this week to come across as a serious judge.

However, if she's there to mark them as if she were one of us sitting at home (as she has said she is), shouldn't the marks be even higher??

I missed last week (shock) so this is the first week I have seen Aleesha as a jusge and although I wanted to give her a chance, I thought she was just embarrassing. "Aww, you looked so cute"
A very poor management decision by the Beeb IMO.

Flavia is my fave pro dancer - she is stunning, makes it all look so effortless and seems like a really nice person

judge

I liked Laila - I thought she partnered Anton really well - and she looked like she was enjoying herself.

Laila and Ricky were the best for me last night, although I also thought Natalie was excellent and captured the sharp aloofness v well.

Soooo many awful frocks again though. Wtf is up with BBC Wardrobe Dept this time, are they all on crack? And they must have got a job lot of that grey stretch netting, on Ali last week and now turning up on one of the professionals.

So glad Anton has got a decent partner this year, you forget what a fabulous dancer he really is!! Loved his choreography for the tango.

Same here Bomper, like Len said there was no need of grandstanding or fancy tricks, just straight into the dance itself.
