2nd Strictly Come Dancing 2023 thread

No one’s fault, but tonight’s show feels a bit ‘last minute’ to fill in gaps.

Also thought too many extra dancers.

Why?

Nope.
I prefer Patrick Swayze. Bobby was too loose.

No, didn’t really care for the ‘Dirty Dancing’ sequence

I didn’t feel they pulled it off.

Sorry, as I’m a huge DD fan.

Bobby and Dianne should have avoided that iconic lift.

perfect!

Gosh! Hard to follow Layton!!

It probably was pergect, but he still revolts me.

It's nice to see Layton not wearing drag. I shall need to rewatch his Paso a few more times. Nikita is a great choreographer.

Layton did a great job, very difficult dance.

Oh, do sit down Motsi!

I really think the judges should stay in their seats.

I am aghast at Layton’s Paso. It was so dynamic and looked to be step perfect!

Just shows how dangerous some the moves can be. They make it look easy.

I shall be sorry not to vote, I enjoy voting!

TBH, I much prefer seeing more dances by the professionals, and less chat.

Loved Annabel and Jojo. So sad for Katya and Nigel.

Great opening by the professional dancers tonight.

Will we still get a (non) results show tomorrow night?

They will probably pad out the show so that they still fill that Strictly slot. I'm just guessing obviously .....

Annabel was fabulous wasn't she?
... but poor old Nige. Must be so disappointing for both of them.

Great opening by the professional dancers tonight.

I enjoyed watching them.

I thought Ellie & Vito's set was too busy. At times I wasn't even sure which one was Vito.
Is it just me?

Ellie off to a good start

That's good, just for entertainment then.

Right - no public vote tonight and no elimination.

Yes, so sorry to hear this as I think he is a very good dancer, graceful and stylish, quite self-deprecating and modest.
What a pity.

I will really miss Nigel, and now they are two less than usual - no Amanda A, and no Nigel .

Poor Nigel coming this far only to be hit by injury. I too was looking forward to seeing his Mary Poppins routine. It was looking good from the training footage.
