It’s Strictly Time

I'm don't think that Kelvin has dance experience. He started in Emmerdale aged 12 and only left a few years ago. Prior to that he had done a small amount of acting, so not sure when he would have fitted the dancing in. Unless you count the dancing/stripping he would have been taught on 'The Full Monty' TV programme earlier this year with Ashley Banjo!

So far have enjoyed Karim & Amy, Chris & Karen, Michelle & Giovanni. Thought Anneka looked lovely.

Poor James he really isn't any good, although we were entertained by how bad it was.

He could have been a stage school kid, many actors are.

Be honest - we’re all just waiting for Kelvin

[Trouble3]

Saw in an interview somewhere that Kelvin did some Ballet as a kid; but that won't help him, other than with graceful moves etc. I remember Darcy saying that Ballet was the total opposite of what they need to be able to dance in Strictly... for most dances anyway.

For me it should be James and David in the bottom 2, but think probably it will be David and Longleat Emma

Aww bless James!
Really enjoyed Michelle, Chris, Will, Kelvin (nice to see him visit his/our home town)
Thought Karim's Foxtrot was beautiful
Though Mike's American Smooth was just bizarre!

I would also prefer it if they did the results show on a Saturday too, but I do wait until the Sunday show to find out who goes so no spoilers please

Totally agree about Mike and Katya, just didn't feel like an American Smooth. I love Rhinestone Cowboy but it's a strange song to pick for that dance.

Also agree re Karim it was beautiful.

Ps. I liked Chris and Karen’s Charleston

She had some movement. The music was too fast and not the right feel.
Kelvin danced very well but again his build was a problem. He needs to step back and under his body to stop his behind sticking out. Karim was the best for me. He does need to curb his enthusiasm but for week two, excellent. James is just not a dancer. He just doesn’t have it in him. Shame, he improved. For those Dibbers who don’t know I am an ex competition dancer and teach locally

I agree, Karim was definitely the best dancer tonight.

has Claudia upset the wardrobe team? She had dreadful outfits for both programmes.
