I recorded it and fast forwarded through a lot, it was a long programme! I did watch all the dances and have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the standard considering it was the first week! I thought the choreography was great, apart from Anton who I thought went too safe and made Ruth look lacking, given the opportunity I think she would have risen to the challenge. My favourites were Debbie & Giovanni, she just nailed it for me, Aston was just a little bit too cocky for my liking. A bit of humility goes a long way in life IMHO.

I loved it and did'nt once think of Len. I really enjoyed Shirley and think she delivers her advice well but to me it did show how patronising Darcy sounds at times. I did'nt think it too long but recorded it and started watching it about half an hour after it started. The only bit I ff was when the Rev. Richard was on. He did'nt amuse me in the slightest. Too early for me to say who my favourite would be but I did feel so sorry for Alexandra knowing her Mum died only a couple of weeks ago.

I think Debby was great, She shocked her partner with that kiss I think, I liked Aston, Not keen on Ruth, I think that's Eamon's fault though.

I love Richard Coles and Susan Calman as the token "amusing triers" Good standard of dancing from most, I thought. Hope Brian Conley is the first to go and then Simon Rimmer....don't think they have a big fan base ( hopefully ) Don't really like "oldies" but ballet trained Debbie did well ( still hope she goes quickly ) and I hope Ruth stays for a couple of weeks as she's trying so hard ( and has Anton to contend with ) Don't mind who else does well, my favourite professionals are Brenda, Kevin and Pasha.......none of which have a cat in hell's chance, so I won't have any angst this year I watched the whole programme and thought it went quickly. Prefer Shirley to Len up to now.....loved Tess' dress

A few people were saying they were having problems on the FB SCD Spoiler group Barbara as some bits seemed to have changed, I never set myself up to vote online but I think Ladygardener does so she might be able to help. Interesting show last night - was it Janette in that chocolate and turquoise dress - can't remember who it was now. It looked like the chocolate bit might come off to reveal a gorgeous costume and then it never did! Some interesting choices of music too There are some stand out dancers already though!

Barbara, just log into the official site and when the voting opens you can click on the pic of whichever couple you want to vote for. You still get 3 votes so just click vote again. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006m8dq and along the top line you'll see the vote info. It'll give you all the info you want. In usually make sure I've signed in before the programme starts, that way it's less hassle. I enjoyed the show at the weekend and was ok with the result too. The marking is till not consistent and I expected it would be more so with our new head judge. It was obvious that Chizzy was gutted to leave but fair enough she and Brian were in the bottom 2. I felt very sorry for folk being affected by their nerves too but everyone seems very supportive. I was very impressed with Alexandra, Aston Debbie and Jonny. It'll be interesting to see what routines they get over the next few weeks if they stay in, they're already great.

Felt really sorry for Charlotte last night Not sure about the new judge - her scoring seems to be a bit all over the place...a bit like Bruno who doesn't seem to have a chair at all this series! The Buzz Lightyear get up was awful too! Still, it's all a bit of sparkly fun - miss Len's Lens though!

I thought Aston was great, really enjoyed that dance. They looked like 2 little Smurfs. I felt sorry for Charlotte as well, especially since in the VT on the results show, she seems to be loving the experience. I noticed that Brendan made a comment on the results show then put his hand over his mouth like he was zipping it and said sorry. He does seem to stick up for his celebs. I agree about the Buzz Lightyear costume, it was woeful. I don't miss Len or Lens lens but I'm glad they have some kind of chat with Claudia. I'm sure that like a lot of people, the judges have their favourites but I do wish their individual scoring was more consistent. I was happy the Rev Richard left as it was the only dance I had to ff.

Not me I enjoyed most of this weeks programme, I thought there was a big improvement in a couple of the contestants who have no previous dance experience. Susans quickstep was brill!

I've no idea Barbara, Was glad to see Charlotte go last night though, only because the poor girl looked the happiest I've ever seen her during her last dance. She really wasn't enjoying herself and it was getting quite uncomfortable to watch. At least Brian looks like he's enjoying himself.

I agree about Charlotte Jilly, Brendan seemed to be pulling her around instead of her dancing to his beat.

I think it was time for Charlotte to go too although I do like Brendan. At least they did their best dance on saturday night i thought.
I was very impressed with Susan and Alexandra!

Bruno has a prior work commitment and will not be judging this weekend, the BBC have decided not to have a guest judge in his place.

Brian & Ruth were my least favourites this week. I am enjoying them all though - some of the costumes were a bit too garish for my liking.

If it's Brian v Simon in the dance off, we'll need sunglasses They split into 3 for me......1) Alexandra,Aston, Debbie and Jonnie 2) Gemma,Mollie,Joe,Davood 3) Susan,Ruth,Simon and Brian. I think Gemma is getting better and better.....going on a journey I think Susan will stay in until Blackpool, but the others in the bottom group are on borrowed time

There was so much yellow on the show I thought, even in the opening dance of the Sunday night show.
Good result and after watching the dance off I think the right person went home. There were so many getting the same score 'tho. The bottom 4 and then the middle lot as well! I did enjoy the whole thing 'tho, it was a good week. We loved Craig channeling Bruno as well, he seemed more lighthearted overall I thought. Hopefully Halloween will be fun, I know the children especially enjoy it.
