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.

Yes, enjoyed that, lovely Adam

Sparklefizz Sun 29-Oct-23 19:58:16

Aaw, isn't Graz lovely? And Zara seems a nice young woman.

Sweetpeasue Sun 29-Oct-23 19:59:32

Aw poor Zara.
Those painted on teeth made her look like she was smiling too. Very eerie.

Sara1954 Sun 29-Oct-23 20:00:02

At least they’re going to be “friends for life “
But, yes, I agree, she seems lovely

TillyTrotter Sun 29-Oct-23 20:00:50

It’s Zara’s time to leave. ☹️

Sparklefizz Sun 29-Oct-23 20:01:31

At least they’re going to be “friends for life “

Yes, Sara - cringe!

Joseann Sun 29-Oct-23 20:04:38

Right decision. She did her best.
I think what is interesting is that we are now left with a lot of younger less experienced pros plus their partners. This is good, because they might come up with innovative ideas and take the dances in new directions.
Though I will miss Graz, Gio etc.

Adam's so light on his feet! He's a pleasure to watch.

I've no idea who he is but he has such a lovely smile and is a joy to watch.

Will be interesting to see who is next to go, as all the obvious weaker dancers have gone.

Sitting comfortably, ready for tonight’s Strictly. It’s the half-way point of the Contest tonight.

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 19:06:05

Yes. Ready and waiting!!

Nanatoone Sat 04-Nov-23 19:08:57

What on earth is Shirley wearing!

TillyTrotter Sat 04-Nov-23 19:13:21

I don’t think I have ever seen a Jive done better by a male Celeb. Leyton is a sensational dancer, but Novice he is not.

TillyTrotter Sat 04-Nov-23 19:14:03

I thought of “Tellytubby” when I saw Shirley Nanatoone.

Joseann Sat 04-Nov-23 19:14:07

Hi.
Layton amazing!

Grannynannywanny Sat 04-Nov-23 19:14:12

Great performance to start the show

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 19:16:28

I love watching a good Jive (but I still won't be voting for him.)

Blinko Sat 04-Nov-23 19:18:48

Anyone else think Motsi’s had a boob job? Sorry if it’s already been mentioned, I’ve not RTFT. Looks so much neater…

Just saying, as I have GG boobs and hate them.

Callistemon21 Sat 04-Nov-23 19:19:09

I missed Layton but just saw the judges.
🤔 10 from the women, 8 from the men because of faults.

aquagran Sat 04-Nov-23 19:19:19

Another slow dance for Angela

Joseann Sat 04-Nov-23 19:22:47

I think Angela was struggling. A bit wobbly? Xx

Joseann Sat 04-Nov-23 19:23:09

Ha ha! I said it before Crsig!

merlotgran Sat 04-Nov-23 19:23:14

I thought Angela was struggling with this one.

Joseann Sat 04-Nov-23 19:23:20

Craig

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 19:25:06

There have been a lot of comments online about the Judges' erratic overmarking, and maybe the male Judges have taken this on board, although not Shirley and Motsi. Certainly the comments seem to be more realistic
