2nd Strictly Come Dancing 2023 thread

Bobby's Dad really made me tearful. He has done a good job with his boys.

Leyton’s dance was very good - again - but we expect that from him now.

Annabel (and Johannes) and Nigel (and Katya) showed improvement again from last week. Annabel is doing so well in this Competition.
Angela and Carlos’s dance did not thrill me. Not sure why.

Why do they keep dressing Layton in female clothing? I don’t get it and it puts me off. Sorry if that offends just the truth.

No idea, unless it’s to reinforce the idea that the dancing looks better with a man/woman couple. I agree with that, but Layton cross-dressing doesn’t really do it.

Perhaps Layton asks for female clothing!

Thought Layton’s was poor, and yes, I too thought the ghastly pink dress looked like he was just dancing in drag.

Liked Nigel’s and Annabel’s performance.

Layton overmarked, and Nigel’s marks didn’t reflect the comments.

Annabelle's Paso was great . Also what a difference when music is matched to the dance style.

Excellent!

Annabel deserves high scores.

Loved Annabelle so much

Thought Annabel's Paso was terrific. Shut up Craig!!

(Also loved her dress!)

Sexy choreography for the Rumba by Katya.

Scored too high as usual

Hated the costumes

I agree Sweetpeasue

Layton and Nikita'' American Smooth not for me this time. Hated music too.

Lovely outfits except for Motsi's.

Talking of Grandparents, did you know Bobby's paternal grandfather was the captain of that fateful boat the Marchioness on the Thames? He was drowned along with lots of partygoers.
(I taught at the school in West Essex that Bobby attended).

Seeing as each dance is only 90 seconds there is certainly a lot of waffle! I haven't seen a lot of sob stories this year, I thought the contestants have been more articulate about their actual dancing.

No, there hasn’t been too many sob stories so far, but now we are approaching the semi finals etc., I think it will soon be time for Granny and Granddad, sitting on the sofa at home, to tearfully tell us what a wonderful GD/GS the dancer is, and how they deserve to win and so on.

Cynical, moi?

I’ve reported my post .

I'm sure GNHQ will delete them fir you (if anyone is there!)

Did you eat the fish or did he throw it back?

They were always thrown back. We did eat pike though if they got into a lake and started eating the small fish.

Thank you for sharing those snippets of info from behind the scenes merlotgran !

merlotgran - what a great fish!

Ha ha! That was DH on one of his last fishing days out before he became too ill to do what he loved best. Scruffy b***er but he did scrub up nicely…sometimes! 😂

Goodness knows how the photo got in there!!
