Strictly Come Dancing 2016

RosyLily

Very impressed with Danny!! Lots of content. Good standard this year.....so far anyway.

Autosport

Danny to win that was some dance

ShazGV

Poor Anastacia, she recovered well.

Autosport

I'm surprised Danny's score was so low but Anastasia was great and great recovery and Tameka was just hilarious and brilliant

RosyLily

Aww poor Anastacia! Was going well but she lost it a bit. Great flexibility though!!

"I think I saw the Rocky Mountains" :eek:

Good performance by Will!

Meauldsegosha

Just catching up now. Loved the group dance at the start of the show. Tameka was good fun. As much as you need good dancers in the show you need entertainment as well.

Len has clearly taken a dislike to Danny, his CCC was better then a 7 (which he also gave to Tameka ). Whilst Len clearly fancies Daisy hence the 9 for a waltz which definitely didn't deserve a 9.

Fair play to Anastasia for keeping the dance going after the mishap.

Autosport

I agree I thought Danny deserved a higher score.

Meauldsegosha

I liked Will's Tango, plenty of potential there. He's so nice. Why are we're his trousers so short though, very distracting.

HeidiHeidi

Should've taken notes while watching!

Where on earth were they going with Anastacia's scores? She nearly fell over, FFS! And for the rest of the dance looked afraid to take a long step....

Also thought that the scores for Daisy Lowe were a bit overinflated for what it was. Plus you couldn't see her feet most of the time as the dress was so long!

Craig must have been told to loosen up on the auld scoring front, I don't think I've seen as many 7s and 8s in entire previous series as I did tonight :eek:

Was it my imagination or were about half the first round dances cha cha chas? And about another quarter waltzes? and the rest random other dances? Bizarre sort of a first round, IMO.

Loved Louise's jive - but was that story true about her not wearing "sexy" dresses to keep the hubby happy??? Because she may as well just stick holes in a bin bag and save a few quid for the Beeb.... I really find that hard to believe, she's a gorgeous girl and I hope she doesn't continue in the knee-length flappy dresses....

When Tameka first started dancing, I thought - how unfair that they give some of the rock songs and other mad stuff to try and do pasos to, at least she got some authentic music.... and then it turned into Viva Espana :eek: How did yer (Spanish) man keep a straight face, seriously???

Who's that fella Danny? He can fairly move!

Lots of potential tbh.... shame I'm going to miss most of the second half of the series :mad: Looking forward to seeing them all settle into it for the next few weeks though!

OMG! If Danny's week 1 performance is anything to go by, he is a sure winner

Just watching back now - Kevin is a great pro. Think he and Louise could make it 4 finals in row for him

Hmm - a bit like Jay last year.

If I remember correctly, it took Jay a while to get his confidence. Hope it's not like Peter Andre where he scored high early on but showed no progression

Jay's infamous jive was in week 3. Not at the start, of course, but still early enough.

Just catching up now. Some great potential and HUGE egos! Looking like one of the best series yet! Craig seems to have had some procedure during the summer. His scoring was most unusual!

Crazyteacher

Most memorable dance for me was Judge Rinder! If he can keep his mouth closed he's got real potential. Already finding Louise quite annoying. Poor old Anton. Love Tameka, she's going to be great fun:)

Autosport

Just started watching now, kinda forgot the time due to the football

RosyLily

Kinda wish Tess would leave the jokes to Claudia. It doesn't suit her imo.

Is Greg's arse out a bit far or is it just me?

Autosport

I love Claudia's jokes Laura was great tonight

honeybear

Just started watching tonights show. Louise was very good

honeybear

Danny fab too

HeidiHeidi

Just catching up now, so I'll be behind for the results show as well - one of these days I'll manage a "live" show.

What did Bruno say that they had to make Tess apologise for him?? (Watched the first two dances last night and now can't remember half of what I saw!)

Thought Greg was fairly poor - stiff, bad posture and very stompy - I'm hoping he survives and gets to carry on, I suspect that was just a bad dance for him.

Hard to know who'll get the shove tonight. Loved Lauras dress, all the dresses are really beautiful, but the shading in this was so pretty.

Snoopy1

Bruno said B####ks.
Wish they wouldn't mark daisy so high

Couldn't disagree more!

I really don't think that lemon yellow suits blondes, and really didn't like the shading - thought it looked a combination of dirty and messy.

Each to their own!

HeidiHeidi

What a bizarre premise for Janette and Melvin's dance

HeidiHeidi

Louise in another frumpy dress - FFS.

Gorgeous rendition of Hallelujah by the orchestra/singer!

I'm LOVING Judge Rinder! He won't win, but what a character!

HeidiHeidi

Oh dear Lord...

Ed Balls doing a charleston :eek::eek::eek:

ETA - ah FFS, two 7s... seriously??? Does a grave disservice to others who got 7's IMO.

I love Louise's dress. I don't think it's frumpy at all!

He really needs to have his mouth clamped shut

Loved seeing the Grandad dancing!

HeidiHeidi

LOVED Danny and Oti's dance - not sure how technically brilliant it was but it was riveting! Bit of a tango feel to it.

I loved it too

The result was bizarre bit unfair considering Anastasia wasn't able to dance, surely she should have went.

Agreed.

If she was badly enough injured not to be able to dance last night, will she be fit to resume training for next week?

honeybear

Danny and Louise are fabulous dancers. I love how relaxed they are with their performances. Have to say Tameka and Judge Rinder (never heard of him pre Strictly) have surprised me.

Snoopy1

Tameka is my favourite. I just love her personality.

Anastacia is out. They should have stepped aside before the dance off. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3818760/Anastacia-makes-Strictly-history-forced-CANCEL-dance-ripped-mastechtomy-scars-make-dance-risky.html

Correction: I misunderstood content of article. She was deemed unfit for danceoff, not unfit to continue in the show.

I thought they should have too & feel that had it perhaps been another of the male dancers, they might have. For Brendan though, I think that going out in week one, regardless of why would have been unacceptable. Maybe I'm wrong.

Sorry for Anastasia though. Not a fan particularly but good to see her well.

Nothing in that article says that she's out of the show?

On a lighter note, could they POSSIBLY have found a worse still of Janette to use in the paper? :eek:

I enjoyed the show on Saturday night, some lovely dances. I really liked Louise and Danny, I thought Louise’s dress was stunning! Danny and Oti have amazing chemistry, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was something going on there by the end of the season! A couple of dances were marked too high in my opinion, I though Lesley and Anton were pretty terrible, they didn’t deserve the positive comments, though I suppose they are probably giving leeway for Lesley’s age. I’m not getting the love for Tameka, she comes across as a lovely person but I didn’t think her dance was that great. Will be interesting to see how she does in the slower dances when she can’t rely on the comedy shtick.

Felt really sorry for Melvin and Janette, they weren’t the worst on the night in my opinion. Anastacia and Brendan should have gone instead, I know she was injured, but their dance was terrible. Looking forward to movie week next week.

You're right! I took it to mean she was deemed unfit to continue in the show instead of being deemed unfit for the danceoff!

You'd have thought, wouldn't you!

If she's that badly affected, I really can't see that she'll be able for training at full tilt so soon - it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I can easily see that she'll have to pull out of the show altogether, and then where will poor Melvin be?

What do ye all think of Lesley Joseph.

I thought week 1 was very poor after all the talk about her having all this energy but she kinda redeemed herself this week.

In fairness for a 70 year old she's doing quite well.

Really looking forward to Saturday night. There are so many good dancers this series! Watching ITT at the mo. Love Vicky Gills slot.

Meauldsegosha

From the rehearsal clips, we have some really good dances to look forward to.

Tameka and Gorka's training looks lots of fun.

Autosport

Who's watching tonight?

HeidiHeidi

Is it on yet?

I tend to leave it till about half an hour in, then I can FF through all the rubbish video-promo bits - they just annoy the hell out of me!
