Whoever put those stairs in was a genius.

The camera man would have the best job wouldn't he and all fully legit.

Gregg's charleston ;(

[Sir Bagalot]

That Alison girl shouldn't run up the stairs.....

[SPR2]

That Jake guy and Janette are going to go far in this series.

[JonRB]

I'm time-delayed so I'm just watching Greg now.

It's a bit, um, clompy. But he's obviously trying.

Didn't catch Jake last week but that was amazing, he's a natural! Who'd have thought it?

His tango was amazing for a first dance too.

[JonRB]

I think Craig R-H is much misunderstood. Most people think he's really negative. But I see his comments as "it was great, apart from..." And I read what he says as genuinely constructive criticism.

I realise I said this several times last year too.

[JonRB]

I thought Simon was really good. Also he doesn't look old enough to have a 17 year old daughter.

And when he gives a good score you'll know it was worth it.

Jake's Salsa was amazing. That hip action! *swoon*

Tim much better than last week.
Bet the music brought back childhood memories to some on here;)

[JonRB]

Just saw Tim's dance (remember, I'm time-delayed). I was quite impressed.

[JonRB]

Oh Scott.. you're adorkable but you can't dance.

And I like him. :-(

A friend of a friend is involved in professional dancing and apparently its Len who is a nasty bloke off screen while Craig just wants people to be perfect

I can really believe that.

I genuinely believe that Craig is just trying to tell people how to improve.

Pixie didn't deserve the same score as Jake imo.

Oh I dunno, she was pretty special. But Jake was exceptional.

I can't see Scott lasting long, sadly. I say sadly because I like him (ok, ok, slight guy crush actually) but he really can't dance. He literally defines "adorkable".

[Ace-T]

So (just watched on catch up, so late to the party ) Out this week has to be one of: Judy, Greg, Scott or Tim. Middle of the road to go up to/around Blackpool are: Sunetra, Steve, Thom, Jennifer, Alison and Mark. Real contenders are: Jake, Pixie, Caroline, Frankie and possibly Simon.

I really hope Jake grabs it. Simply because he looks as if he shouldn't be able to dance!

Shouldn't work, but it does!

I voted for Tim. Why?

I've got many years of downloads of Nat's vids to justify.

[JonRB]

I loved Claudia's little quip about Anton to Judy.

[Ace-T]

Right person went IMO.
