Won't be watching this. It has the same effect on me a Bake Off does.

'as'

[Smowball]

Well I liked it lol

[hc4361]

I loved it but I do miss the first weeks from the earlier series when the slebs really could not dance, mouthing step counts, stumbling, being dragged round by their partners and serious time wasting such as running round with a cape.

Now the slebs have secret dance lessons in the weeks leading up to the launch, if they have no dance experience already, and come to their dance partner with at least the basic steps under their belts.

I jive in week 1 is ridiculous - it is far too fast and technical for a beginner but Greg handled it well.

[Smowball]

I said the same thing. And I thought the scores were ever so high for the first night

[hc4361]

Yes, Smow. Not much room for improvement if their scoring like that already

[Smowball]

Exactly. They'll be getting 10's in week three at this rate!

[Cloverjo]

I have to listen to it and half-watch as OH watches it. I'm surprised that world-class athletes like Greg and Claudia are taking part. They could easily get injured and wrecked their careers.

[Cloverjo]

^^^wreck, not wrecked

[jakep]

Loved it tonight. Agree that the relatively high scoring leaves little room for improvement.
Perfect wind down tv.

[Smowball]

Loved Judge Rinder lol

[tonyav]

[Smowball]

Bless him, I thought he did quite well

[campbellking]

Judge Rinder - comedy gold, loved him.

[Georgiesmum]

I dont normally watch it, but thought id watch it to see how judge rinder got on. All I can say is wow wow wow., wasnt he brilliant. He even bared his chest.!

[chrissa1]

I really enjoyed it and thought Judge Rinder was a, hoot. As to the scoring, I guess they'll just keep the scores the same if no progress is made or, mistakes are made, in each individual performance and then score, accordingly.

[Elina]

Loved watching tonight!

The BBC are going to sell it to Channel 4......packaged with GBBO...Paul Hollywood will become a judge, along with Raymond Blanc and Jenson Button, Murray Walker and Sam Cam to act as hosts.
