    How come the first show is a Friday?
    I just thought Lois was a bit shy and awkward. Who wouldn't want flavia as a partner she's gorgeous, I want to be jealous of her but she's too nice

    Is it? I assumed the first live show was a Saturday? Friday seems such a strange night for Strictly?

    I don't think there are any evictions on the first weekend of it but I could be wrong

    Wait a minute - just watched this on YouTube and Brucie said they'd be back in 3 weeks time for the first live show? We have to wait another 3 weeks?! Has it always been this way? I've never watched it from the start before

    They did it that way last year too. Bit stupid really.


    Some of the "celebs" have never danced in their lives. It'll take a few weeks for them to get a half-decent routine together with their partner and also learn the first group dance.
    The gap is badly needed!

    I agree but this is a new element. In previous years, the first show had the celebrities dancing, having met their partner a few weeks previous. A whole show dedicated to pairing up the couples is unnecessary, especially when they have to take a three week break in order for the couples to train.

    I think you're supposed to be interested in seeing the contestants meet their partners for the first time.

    Yeah but you get to see them with their partners for about a minute. They can barely even give their reaction before they have to run off.

    Just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet I'll spoiler.
    Dance-off is back!! Yeah! Makes it more interesting. Felt sorry for Victoria; dancing is definitely not her thing and you could tell that she desperately wanted to do well. Liked Denise & Colin.

    Darcy did get annoying with her constant "yeah?...yeah?"

    Darcy was a bad choice. She seems to be stuck for words all the time and just repeats what's already been said, ya?

    Wow-Lisa was great!

    Jerry is bonkers. I still like her though, she has a natural sort of elegance.

    Is is just me, or are the costumes a bit more modest (relatively) this year?

    I sky+ strictly....thank god I did. No way would I be able to sit through Darcy....fast forward her comments !! Surely they could of found someone better IMO she is dreadful. Why does she say 'yea' at the end of every sentence ?
    That aside I thought sid and Lisa were fab..jerry is just barking. Kimberly was my favourite.

    This is the 1st time I've watched strictly from the start (although I missed it Friday as I didn't know it was on.) What happened with alesha? Did she get the sack or did she just not want to do it anymore? Darcy is so annoying!!!

    I am really looking forward to tonight. I think I'm going to like the dance-off, even though it does seem a little cruel. Any-one going to the show?

    I prefer the dance off, it's definitely fairer than the public vote. There have been a lot of strong dancers lost because of the public vote.

    No it isn't repeated which is a shame. X Factor seems to be repeated all weekend. Sorry you can't get i-player where you are

    At least she's gotten rid of "Ya".

    I felt sorry for Nicky Byrne, he was obviously really disappointed.

    Unlucky for Nicky because it was his partner's fault for choosing such a 'disco' choreography.

    Colin is a good dancer, I think he can go far in the competition.

    Victoria looked unbelievably nervous again but managed to get through the routine this time.

    If she just could lose the air of superiority and smugness now too she'd be doing great!

    I felt sorry for Nicky too and I really don't think he was so bad as the judges maintained
