Strictly Come Dancing 2023

My post was in answer to grannynannywanny

Aah - Jade would be very proud!

Amanda and Giovanni - that was very moving.

Sparklefizz
Agree, very moving and very graceful, loved it

Amanda and Giovanni - so very beautiful.. Exquisite performance I thought.

I have a girl crush on Annabelle and want Johannus (sp) as my gay best friend
(Now I have to tell my gay best friend they have been usurped)

Nigel & Katya's Paso - Wow!

And this is only week one!! Some incredible dancing!

Wow! Wow! Wow!
Amazing

Just watching it here and absolutely amazed at how well the participants have done. Amanda made me cry (lost husband), so beautiful.

Nigel and Katya were fab. I think we’ve just watched the winners.

Also OMG Tess’s outfit is hideous. I really don’t know where to look. It’s grim.

Brilliant show, I really enjoyed it.

"See" you all next week!!

Nancy is one of my favourite professionals and I love watching her energetic routines. I’m disappointed she’s been partnered with poor Les. I can’t see them progressing far unless the public are swayed by Les’s comedy element.

So looked forward to this tonight and the brilliant dancing surpassed all ecpectations. Paso Doble one of my favourite dances and Nigel was so powerful. What a great start.

Katya has choreographed some very unusual and interesting dances in the past. Looking forward to seeing more.

Night everyone. See you next week.

Well wow, just wow!
Amazing dances from all of them, and it is just week one.
The show seems to have quickened its pace; I wasn't bored once, and all Tess needed was a step-ladder (and a pot of paint.)

Sparklefizz Night and thankyou for starting the thread.

Annabelle?

No, Amanda’s dance and music absolutely made me cry, loved it. Annabelle was wonderful too.

I thought it was Annabelle who lost her husband.

Annabel’s husband died in May this year

Wasn't it all fabulous?
We've just finished watching after recording and flicking through.
I thought Nigel was exceptional and Krishnan's performance and music were just joyous.
For the first week, it was wonderful

An excellent first week. Lovely to have it back

Remarkable for the first week. A lot of potential winners but in the weeks to come, we'll see who comes to the front and who may fall by the wayside. I think I know who is likely to be voted out next week!
