Only another month to go so I thought we'd better get the new thread up and running smile

I don't know many of this year's contestants so far but I guess we'll get to know them as the show continues. I see there are already comments that some of them have previous dance training.

I'm looking forward to this evening. It's a feel-good programme for me, and millions of others.

Before tonight's show starts, I just want to say thanks to all on this lovely (as usual) Strictly thread who have kept me well informed with your observations and opinions while I was away. 💃 🕺
After I've distributed all the foreign shopping round to the ACs, I'll hopefully join in later. 🏆 Xx

Glad you're back, Joseann

Gosh! Bobby's swivel was good.... better than I expected.

TillyTrotter Sat 30-Sept-23 18:41:37

Bobby’s dancing was great - and he looks so much like his late Mum.
For me he is a joy to watch. He’s young, he’s full of energy and he is learning at a rate of knots.

Bobby is excellent, but I love Annabelle’s grace.

Sparklefizz Sat 30-Sept-23 18:49:07

Annabelle is so elegant.

Loved Ellie's Foxtrot. Thought she was great last week too. She's a natural dancer with perfect timing.

Sparklefizz Sat 30-Sept-23 19:00:40

Loved Ellie's Foxtrot ... and so, it seems, do the judges!!

Sparklefizz Sat 30-Sept-23 19:01:26

Snap Sweetpeasue. We think alike!

Sparklefizz Sat 30-Sept-23 19:05:15

Wow Nigel. Romantic and sexy.

Sweetpeasue Sat 30-Sept-23 19:06:02

Such a beautiful waltz and I loved Katya's grace.

rafichagran Sat 30-Sept-23 19:16:22

I loved the waltz, Katya and Nigel were lovely to watch.

TillyTrotter Sat 30-Sept-23 19:23:39

The judges are already behaving erratically - 2 of them told Nikita (and Gorka) how Much Better she was compared to last week ….
and then give her the same scores 3+5+5+5 = 18. 🤔

Sparklefizz Sat 30-Sept-23 19:25:41

My daughter says it's absolute genius that they gave Les a dance in which he needed to look like he was going to fall over!! grin

Sweetpeasue Sat 30-Sept-23 19:36:02

Heart went out to Adam. Nice Tango - he so kicked himself over the mistakes.

Sweetpeasue Sat 30-Sept-23 19:39:39

Oh Amanda! One to watch. What a feisty salsa.

rafichagran Sat 30-Sept-23 19:41:26

I like Adam, he was dramatic and full of energy, he also had humility. I hope he progresses alot further.

Sparklefizz Sat 30-Sept-23 19:43:43

Amanda & Gio !!! Those lifts!

TillyTrotter Sat 30-Sept-23 19:45:27

Loving Strictly tonight. Finding it difficult to decide who I’ll give my 3 votes to.

Kim19 Sat 30-Sept-23 19:45:57

Gracious....Giovanni's choreography and his partner's implementation were outstanding.

Same for me.

Sparklefizz Sat 30-Sept-23 19:49:37

I'm definitely voting for Amanda & Gio, and for Nigel & Katya. Not sure about the 3rd vote ....

Fabulous standard of dancing when it's only week 2.
