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 agree, Angela looks like she’s struggling a little tonight. Also, I think she looked a little displeased at the judges negative comments.

TillyTrotter Sat 04-Nov-23 19:27:37

Angela could be in trouble tonight.

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 19:30:50

Wow! Nigel and Katya. Very theatrical and dramatic.

Yes re Angela... she seemed to be struggling. She didn't like the comments.

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 19:35:49

Craig!!! 7 for Nigel??

TillyTrotter Sat 04-Nov-23 19:37:04

A well-deserved score for Nigel (but he took A Lot of criticism).
I wish Craig would give more tips on how a dancer can improve instead of filling his 3 mins with what he Doesn’t like.

Agree re Craig TillyTrotter

I obviously know nothing about dancing as I'd have given Angela a 9.

Callistemon21 Sat 04-Nov-23 19:45:44

Angela Scanlan

Annabel's dance nearly made me cry.

Callistemon21 Sat 04-Nov-23 19:49:59

I am crying. 😥

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 19:51:16

Annabel's dance has made me tearful. It was beautiful and very moving.

TillyTrotter Sat 04-Nov-23 19:52:04

Caught me too 😭

Sara1954 Sat 04-Nov-23 19:52:53

No Angela definitely didn’t like the comments.
I don’t really like the soppy stuff, but thought Annabelle did really well, sad story.

Grandmadinosaur Sat 04-Nov-23 19:53:23

I’m a wreck watching dear Annabel. A brave lady.

Grannynannywanny Sat 04-Nov-23 19:53:49

Another one reaching for the tissues here. Annabelle’s dance was very moving and she danced it beautifully.

Joseann Sat 04-Nov-23 19:54:02

Johannes has such a kind soul.

Nanatoone Sat 04-Nov-23 19:54:02

I thought that the jive was horrible, not my cup of tea. Angela was boring sadly but Annabel was amazing.

Callistemon21 Sat 04-Nov-23 19:54:46

Joseann

Johannes has such a kind soul.

He is so lovely.

Sparklefizz Sat 04-Nov-23 19:58:33

I wish I had a Johannes in my life. He's lovely.

That was a more mature Bobby in his performance.

Sara1954 Sat 04-Nov-23 19:59:17

Judges are picky tonight

Grannynannywanny Sat 04-Nov-23 19:59:17

Not keen on that tango although the Argentine tango is usually my favourite.

I do too he’s a lovely man. I saw his show a couple of years ago and he was amazing.

Nanatoone Sat 04-Nov-23 20:00:51

I thought Bobby was terrific

mamaa Sat 04-Nov-23 20:01:12

Agree re Angela R’s reaction to the judges comments, and I too was welling up during Annabels dance. Doesn’t look
like the judges (except Shirley) are too keen on Bobby and Dianne’s Argentine Tango…await the scores with interest 😉

TillyTrotter Sat 04-Nov-23 20:01:13

Bobby was mesmeric in the Tango - loved watching him and Dianne. So in tune with each other.
