Strictly Come Dancing - Week one - Show two.

Ok so I know it was aired like last week but still heres my take on last saturdays show ...
I will keep these going, probably get them up around mid weekisshh.

Righty ... Show 2...
So last night we had -back flips, magic tricks and the occasional welly boot ... what will it be tonight!
Dadadada.....da! Hmm still not a fan of the new title sequence, got kind of attatched to the old one.

Tess is back in her standard uniform I see... asymetric floor length gown... obviously some things never change.
Oooh Bruce, messed up your gag there... "Never mind the 2 fathers I didnt know i had 4 fathers...." I think you mean wives... we'll let that one go shall we, give you a minute to warm up..

Ok time to go ... Interesting set of outfits going on. Natalie and Scott, pretty standard attire ... nice. Jared Murillo what do you look like!! Baaaad trousers my friend. Peter and Erin tres on theme with the football gear and Jimi's well he's wearing spangly pj's by the look of it. Ola, the usual... chiffon and sparkly dental floss, but working it enviously well. Patsy and Robin again ... pretty standard, Goldie and Kristina however... geniesque I beleive. Matt and Aliona, no longer rocking leaves and tartan (thank God) but a latin number, Matt in a shirt I swear I've seen on someone else. Bloody Hell... Kara and Artem ... he has the chest out, yummm. Vincent and Felicity, Pamela and James, both in red and black Pamela however seems to be wearing about 10 skirts. Lots of sparkles on Michelle... love the skirt. Anne looking surprisingly glam also, Anton grinning like the wonderful fool he is. Awwhh and Gavin, looking very smart a bit like a school boy in his first suit, but lovely all the same.

Now thats out the way ( not that you needed to know what they were wearing as by now Im sure you've all seen it )
So everyones safe... and already were straight in with a comment about Anne doing latin. OK we get it... we want to see her be "sexy" *shudders at thought* but enough already...

Ooohooh Jimi and Flaviaaaaaa.... ( may I add a quick lol at the 2012 joke!)
The smell of Strictly as told by Jimi - deep heat and hair spray. Oook... ITT pick up on that, I spy a VT.
andd apparently Flav has lucky hair. Awesome.
EW! the sweat... He must be working hard! or doesnt know what lynx is.

Ok Dance... Good song. Little loose in the limbs, arms need to be sharper I think. Good rhythm though, moves well, seems to know what he's doing.  Little flat in the feet, just noticed, nice routine though well done Flavs.
Oh yea Welcome Dave etc... can't forget him.
Umm I'd say a 6 for Jimi. Judges turn though... Apparently its not 'adequate' agreed Len, Alesha wants sharper. Bruno noticed a mistake... I didnt, must rewatch it. Scarecrow from wizard of oz... apparently means you have a good isolation technique.... Okkkkaay. Totally agree Craig *ahem* totally.
Scores... 6SEVEN67 .. not bad not bad ... pretty average for week one.

Peter and Erin next....Make up jokee, clean sheets... someone in the crowd finding it VERY funny.
Erins song ... Im still standing * instant Darren Bennett flash back ......................................................sigh... sorry Im back*
Very pretty opening, typical of Erin. Hmm frame needs a little work, rise and fall is a little sticky, but he's doing it, just needs to be a bit smoother. Tiny mistake there but well recovered. He's doing better than I thought. Very sweet routine. I'd sayyyyy 5? maybe 6.
Alesha ... patronising much.. just comment!
Bruno's making sense for a change ... Craig however, not so much. Potholish... hmm. Len has decided that this however was adequate for week one.
Off to Tess land.... Paul Daniels stiking his toungue out absent mindedly in the backgroud. Ok sh he got 4665... Erin decided not bad. S'alright then.

Michelle and Brendan ... Sorry ... she annoys me SO much, and she would apparently sing for the Queen over tea and biscuits... odd.
Bad bad bad bad boy Brendannnn ... sporting a bit of love for him this year.
The don't seem to be dancing much in training.
Hahaha typical Brendan being the first to use the balcony... not sure what to expect of this dance to be honest. First impressions ... long limbed and awkward... I spy another Lisa Snowdon... *runs for hills* ... sorry... She needs to work on her technique quite bad at the moment... exciting routine to watch however, she just needs to put more work in. I'd say 5.
Bruno making leg comments ... urgh definate Lisa Snowdon link.
Craig basically being Craig. Honest. "Im going to let you off this week..." Realllly Brendan.. Cant wait for next week now, if she dances like that again there will be fireworks.
Len and Alesha .. pretty similar comments. Michelle gives reaction to criticism speech.
Off to "mama Tess" ...to get 567(?)6...  Hahahaha whos now imagining Michelle with Gavins legs (just me?)

Speaking of Gavin... here we go...HAHAHAHAHA Chin joke!!! So he can be funny!
Stop taking Gav... your making yourself sound like a girly. AH MATT DAWSON AUSTIN HEALY ... uuhhh yummmmm.
"You have like no spec of emotion" Nice Katya... nice...

Gorgeous song!!! Hopefully the dance will match. Awwwwhhhh he's just so ... eee cute!! Dunno what it is. He's actually not bad! Good movement, seems nervous but thats ok, makes him more endearing. I actually love this. His frame needs a tweak however, but technically not bad at all. Im going for 7!
Judgess.... Craigyyyy wants more acting, but says brave. Len likes though and Alesha thinks diamond in the rough... hang on I swear thats Aladdin... moving on... Bruno... he wants to see latin, theres a surprise!

Tess - "I feel like a gooseberry..." realllllyyyyyyyyyyyy. 6877 awesome. Must add I love his accent.

Tina and Jared... overly cute couple ... not a massive fan to be honest.
Training ... she appears to have lost her shoes. Confident and energetic... we shall see...

Dance time ... still not feeling the outfits and yet more props!! urgh.... songs good though...
Not badly danced, routine not spectacular Jared ... bit too simple. She looks as if she could be good though, if given the right material. Made a fewww mistakes but most have tonight so she's allowed that one. Ermmm 6.
High School musical ref... and im sure Len just called Jared, Gerrard. Theyre not being to nice to her, or him really. Uneventful...
Nerves being blames, and Bruce shouts FIRST DANCE at her... hardly going to help!!
I wish people would stop saying cute... at least she enjoyed it. Tess a HSM fan??? Okkkk.
Scores 57(?)66 not baaddddd.

Oh god here we go... Anne and Anton..
LOL...Milliband joke... acutally was pretty clever.
Srictly is undignified?? Really? We watching the same thing!
Hahahaa their training is pretty funny... not amazing dancin but funny all the same.

Ok ... first impression, needs to sort her arms out, finish the lines. Definately needs to get her weight up, shes dancing very much into the floor at the moment, shoulders back, chest up extend the rib cage... will sort her frame and posture. The height difference is quite comical... yet some how seems to be working. Very flat footed and stompy, so not amazingly danced. But she did it... and got through it. Well done Anton for not making too much of a joke of it. Spoke too soon! "Youve absolutely no idea!"  errrmmmm 4.
Alesha like it... seems a bit scared of Anne... Dont blame her.
Hahaa Ark Royal ... compliment?? Nice one Bruno.
Craig is seriously going for the metaphors ... Very local authority. Love him..

"You think thats bad you should see the salsa ..." I think everyones waiting for that.
Len referring to her as a holiday ... anticipation but doesnt live up. Well said Len ... WELL DONE ANTON.
Oh god, shes Bruces favourite... quelle surprise. And she gets a standing ovation...
Scoressss 2555 ... nay bad... not realllyyyyyyy considering.

OOH its about to get hot... ARTEM... yummmmm. Oh and Kara is here too.
Brue as a model ... eurghh.
Kara and her sister.... like identical.. weirrddd.

Aim for the series ... Learn Artems real name.. likely!?
OMG spotlight song in the background! Love it....!
Ok... so the song is AMAZING, Kara looks great and Artem has a hood! Good start in my book!
Oh no! fell over!! Recovered well though! If that had been me I'd have literally sat and cried... shes got good technique, dancing well, could do with a little more strength in the arms, make it a little crisper maybe. But still best of the night technique wise... 8 from me!
Judging time..Hahaa the old Bruno is back... Craig liked, Len liked... Alesha thinks they is hot!... constructive love..
Another standing ovation.Scores 7887 ... top score! Awesommee.

So everyones danced now.... HAHAHA "C'mon..." Brendan you legend.

Gary and Robbie time...NO PRO DANCE! Gutted... where is this amazing pro dance troupe we've been promised huh!?

So thats that.....

Now it gets serious....

Strictly Come Dancing - Week one - Show one.

Everybody sing with me...... Dadadadadadadadadadadada.
ITS FINALLY HERE PEOPLE!!! STRICTLY COME DANCING 2010!

Ok so thats got my little burst of excitement out of the way!...

And que Tess for the intro....
What are we being promised this year... Magic.Drama.Romance ( notice the usage of Katya and Gavin... Hmm... looking for things not there are we beeb!!?) and MASSES OF BALLROOM DANCING... well yes, to be fair thats kinda what the show is about. Notice the slight nod towards it now being about dancing.

New titles.... I don't like them... Not Strictly enough for me.

ITS NICE TO SEE YOU TO SEE YOU NICE ... Tess is loving it.
Urgh... Dodgy Johnothan Ross gag.
Ohhh Tess dress has shoulders in it again.... new look this year?

And here come the couples!
Yada yada you know who they are... *bounces* James Jordannnnn

Right hounerable Widdy there... Nice title love.
More bad gags ... 5 stars? hmm ... move it along.

Ok couple number 1....
Vincent and Felicity ... who may I add has the most AMAZING laugh.
"Hello I'm Vincent Simone and Oh My God I am the  best dancer on the planet"  Hahaaaa nice to see somethings havent changed about Strictly this year.
Training ... looks ok, love her 'excuses'...
They start actually on the floor now??! I spy an epic nod to DWTS *sigh* It'll be props next ... anyway back to the action ....
Oooohh sexy little wiggle there ... Vincent standing around looking gorgeous. Nice amount of basic in the routine, needs to make more of her steps... move a little more, needs more drive. Nice ending though ... I'd give her a 6.
Judging time ... oh and Welcome Dave Arch ...
Bruce now talking in morse code ... 'being rude' hmm.
"more tension in this room than my nan's knicker elastic..." I LOVE LEN.
Alesha ... called her 'Babe' .... didn't talk about the steps..
Bruno ... just Bruno and well Craig, nice and honest as per usual.
New Tess's area ... don't like it. 4577 ... not badddd.

Next uppppp ... Natalie and Scott.
"Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more no moreeeeeee" 
Natalie wants to win. Obviously. 
Oh Aussie ref  with the Kylie..... subtle, and now marmite music?? He looks good though, despite his tantrums!!
Waltz time... Nat in black? Doesn't happen in waltz too often. Scott... stand up!! Shoulders down, ribcage up, make the frame! Bit toooo vertical for my liking!
Hmm... Im never sure of Natalies choreography... some bits are so beautiful, but others ... not so much. Danced quite well ... good for week 1. I'd sayyyyy SEVEN.
Rauchhhhhyyy Len ... agreed ... not so typical.
Alesah fought it was hot.
Sccchhhoooottttt .... oookkk Bruno.
Craig thinks he has puppet hands....  6788 ... 8? wouldn't go that far.

Number 3 ... Goldie and Kristina.
Gold tooth gag ... He finds it funny at least.
He's an odd guy ... funny though
"From Russia with love ..." *small sob ... Lilia flashback* moving on ... HILARIOUS training video ... and amazzzzzzing song. Love the swagger he's got going on ... annddd I swear Kristina will be out of that top anyy minute now... best not get too excited love, don't want a wardrobe fail. Speaking of wardrobe ... the beeb been costume recycling? I swear Cutler wore that top for the Paso Doble danced with Christine?
Hmm ... good attempt, needs to sharpen up a lot! Very rhythmic though. 6 from me.
Aleasa said Babe AGAIN and Bruno does a crazy dance.... standard.
Craig wants more movemet and Len more content ... agreed.
Awhh "I'll get my coat..." No no ... not that bad. 3665 ... 3? Craigyyy harsh.

Patsy and Robinnnnn ... He has the most intense eyes. Recycled Men in white coats joke... used on Tom Chambers also.
Ohh we have a little sob story, using SCD to make her life better ... one every year.
"I bet that you look good on the dancefloor..." I'll say Mr Windsor.
Beautiful song ... and lovely choreography. Looking good so far... bit of gapping, shoulders need to come down to improve the frame, also need to finish her lines. I feel a little too critical of this .. it was lovely even still. Ermmmm ... 7 from me.
Bruno ... you summed it up for me love.
Dissaarrsssterrrrrrrrrr .... had to get it in somewhere Craig!
Listen to Len ... and spoken like an ex champion ... hmm... or spoken like she's taking notes from the other judges ... ahem .. sorry. 4666 ... bit of disagreement between me and El judges.

MATT BAKER!!!! Oh I love him ... best mention lovely Aliona.
Baaaadddd joke ... but they made me do it. Reaaally.
Younger viewer ... Blue peter babyy...
Hahaaa immitate sport ... plan.... Ali's wellies ... awesome.
Aliona ... grown on me ... shes very sweet ... even if Matt did just liken her to a farm animal... "IVE NOT FINISHED WITH YOU WOMAN ... BRING ME ANOTHER" oookkkkkk.

NO NO NO propsssssssss ... Whyyyyyyyy!!!??? This isnt DWTS!!! *small sulk*
Ohhh gymnastics ... seems to be a favourite of Alionas ... *Rav quickstep cartwheel flashback*
Obviously got landed with the wardrobe joke outfit for the night ... leaves in the hair Aliona?? Could have run a brush through it girl!! ( I joke ) Ohhh he's good... nice strong lines, good feet ... nice routine there too. Gimmicky ... but I liked it... I'd sayyyyy 8.
"You sir are one to watch..." "Best cha cha of the night" "Love the costumes" Lovely Hose?? What!? Oddddd.
This was the introduction .... no Aliiii nooo ... no more props.
7888 ... puts him top ... and broke the 30 barrier.

JAMES JORDAN.... Oh my...Love him more ... ohh and Pamela.
Odd song choice ... cant spell that ... Baboushka?
"Ive got to pull something out of the bag to bring the glitterball home.." loosely translates as "I need to win.... Ola has one so I want one" Oohhh bad boy James ... liking the sound of that!!
"is this in the aid of dancing??"
"I just wanted you to feel my bum..." Ok I wish I was her in that moment!!
Awww I love these two alreadyyyy.
Waltz time ... I still don't like that they start on the floor... even if its all dark and moody and what not! Also I sense some song recyclingggggggg? Lovely start... liking the out of hold sections, nice transition into frame also. She's actually reaallllyyy good! seems very elegant, shoulders need to be down though... still beautifully danced ... 8 from me!
For once I agree with Aleasha..... Judges comments all amazingg. 7888.
Hmmm havent noticed anyone in the background this time ... apart from smiley Anton.

Last one of the night people ... Paul and Ola ( oh how I love her too)
Clever little pun from Bruce.
HAHAHA magiicccc moments ( sorry very innapropriate laugh there ... know a rude version of that song)
Ok count the magic references....
72 but acts like 7 ... cute little couple ...
magic trick in act ...and magic in the song... magic in the dance?? I dunno.
Ola looks enviably gorgeous.Nice sequence of steps, seem very fitting to what Paul can do... was okkkk ....nothing special.... 5.
Bit of singing from Bruno! Craig being his usual complimentary self ... sausage gag....contraversy.
Len throwing out the entertainment word there!
Bring on next week... 2554 ... low... but we have next week...

So Matt/Aliona and Pamea/James are top with 31 ... pretty high score for week one!!

Must add ... Dissapointed by lack of pro dance.... lets hope theyre making us wait for something spectacular!!

BRING ON SHOW 2!!

KEEEEEEEEEEEP DANCING!!
