2nd Strictly Come Dancing 2023 thread

8 Craig?? 8???
Maybe Claudia is right - Craig has lost his 10 paddle.

Leyton and Nikita were amazing. I will vote for them tonight.

Missed Ellie's dance ☹

But Angela - Wow! Brilliant
I couldn't even walk in those shoes 😲

Ooh. Well done Angela S. I loved that. So dramatic.

Incredible dancing tonight. Loving it.

Well done Ellie!

I didn’t really like that Charleston. Not enough dancing for me.

Wow!!! Ellie & Vito's lifts!!! Fantastic. Just HAS to be 4 x 10s.

Loved Annabel and Johannes.

Not distracted by so many other dancers, often seemed just them, much nicer.

Everyone is dancing beautifully so far tonight at the Tower Ballroom.
Really enjoying it - especially Annabel and Jojo. 💃 🕺

Yes, beautiful. Real class.
Sorry I called Annabel Amanda earlier.

Annabel and Johannes were just beautiful together. I loved that.

Absolutely- so beautiful.

Annabelle and Johannes - I don't care what the judges say, I loved it!
It was beautiful.

I've never seen the point of including the Couple's Choice because there are no set steps/techniques on which to judge them.

I preferred Layton's dance last eek too.

I did prefer Angela's!

Never really like the couples choice, and I did prefer his dance last week, but he was pretty amazing

I didn't like Leyton's dance as much as last week's.

It's not my type of dancing!!

Why does Motsi have to shout out all her comments?

The judges all back pedalling a bit on AR tonight, whilst all agreeing it’s marvellous to see her in Blackpool.

Think it will be ‘Bye Bye Angela’ tonight.

Yes, I agree, they've nursed her along for a couple of weeks to get her to Blackpool. Her dance was lovely and I enjoyed it, the trip down Memory Lane was enjoyable - but should we expect a higher level at Blackpool?

It's lovely because she presented Come Dancing from there years ago, but was it fair on the competitors who were knocked out?

Layton is out of this world.

I didn't like Leyton's dance as much as last week's.

Leyton outshone AR on the leg lifts tonight.

Haha! Yes, he did!

As always, a great show again tonight,

How lovely that your DD & DGD are there, merlotgran, exciting for them. You'll be able to tell us all about it. (no spoilers, of course !)
