2nd Strictly Come Dancing 2023 thread

Layton could not be a Strictly professional because he's not experienced in Ballroom and Latin enough to teach others.

I'm sure he'd be a quick learner.

Although not all the Strictly dancers partner the professionals

Oh what a touching and genuine tribute by Johannes to Annabelle. So beautiful.

Oh Johannes!! He's so lovely.

Although Annabel has improved immensely, she's not in the same league as the others. I think she should go. Layton's Charleston was fabulous

I think it will be Annabel leaving tonight.

I agree, her time has come. A beautiful partnership, I hope she will treasure her time on Strictly.

I think it will be Annabel leaving tonight.

Wonderful dance by Leyton, pure skill. I hope he gets through to the final.
I was also touched by what Nikita said. Never mind he has dance experience others do as well, and he has also made alot of progress.

I’m afraid he won’t win, although I think he should. Viewers are homophobic. Anyone remember Adam Lambert on American Idol?

A full 40 fully deserved.
That wasn't just a slapdash slapstick Charleston. It seemed incredibly polished to me.

Layton could not be a Strictly professional because he's not experienced in Ballroom and Latin enough to teach others.

I do hope they take Layton on as a Strictly professional. He would be a great addition to the team.

However, he still shouldn't win. It would not be fair.

It was fun

No one else could have done Layton's dance. I loved it.

Well, Layton and Nikita that was great!

But it was show dancing.

What!!!!
Incredible energy.Amazing. Layton and Nikita.

Bobby must have rehearsed long and hard this week and produced two excellent dances tonight.

Loved Both His Dances , well done Bobby !

Wow! Bobby! So intense!! He has been terrific tonight!

Judges continue to use different standards when commenting on each couple’s dance.
How can Motsi say (to Annabel) that her dance does not need to be perfect?
They are much tougher on Layton.
Bit of a nonsense to me.

Love Vito! Describing his next dance "We have the stick ...."
(corrected to "the cane")

Oh goodness, there goes Anton again with the same jokes. Sigh.

The camera was in the wrong place for part of Bobby's quickstep - all we could see was the back of Dianne for a few seconds.

The camera isn't showing enough of Layton's feet to judge.
Not very exciting.

... partly because Bobby's smile and joy is so infectious.

Great start, Bobby in the semi-final, boy did good.!!
