Strictly come dancing 2023 reaction

Week two

Angela and Carlos, jive.
Score: 7,7,7,8=29/ 52/80 (6th)
This was so good. Her acting was on point. The dance was fun and enticing. I loved it. Definitely my favorite. Not sure about Carlos's costume though.
My score: 8/10 or 35/40

Adam and Luba, tango.
Score: 5,6,5,7=23/ 42/80 (joint 9th -3 way tie-)
I loved this! The costumes. The drama. What's not to like. I especially loved the song choice, so well done Luba. As a Eurovision loving rock fan, naturally I am a fan of Maneskin and as a tango loving person, naturally I loved this dance.
My score: 8/10 or 34/40

Layton and Nikita, quickstep.
Score: 9,9,9,9=36/ 65/80 (1st)
Wow. Great dance.
Side not, why was he so defensive about the word basic. Ruined the dance a bit.
My score: 8/10 or 34/40

Edie and Karen, cha cha.
Score: 3,6,5,7= 21/ 42/80 ( joint 9th -3 way tie-)
So much fun. I couldn't care less if it looked like a cha cha. They should made that an official dance. It was amazing and so entertaining. I also feel sorry for Karen, I always get the feeling the judges target her effort on the show. Always criticising her choreography.
My score: 8/10 or 34/40

Nigel and Katya, Viennese waltz.
Score: 7,7,6,7=27/ 59/80 (joint 4th -2 way tie-)
This is what Katya needs. An actor. She is so creative and the magical thing about her dances is the storytelling. Scrap the techniques, almost no one on this show tells a proper story through there dance. Nigel has two times consecutively. I hope to see more of this story telling. I agree with Craig.
My score: 8/10 or 33/40

Amanda and Giovanni, salsa.
Score: 8,8,8,8= 32/ 61/80 (2nd)
Look at this. She is a brilliant dancer. I admire her work ethic. That on the dance floor, it wasn't her usual self. A new side came out. This is where acting comes in very handy.
My score: 8/10 or 33/40

Ellie and Vito, foxtrot.
Score: 8,8,7,8=31/ 60/80 (3rd)
So beautiful.
My score: 8/10 or 32/40

Bobby and Dianne, charlston.
Score: 7,7,7,8=29 /59/80 (5th)
This put a smile on my face.  So energetic. I believe they will go far.
My score: 8/10 or 31/40

Zara and Graziano, quickstep.
Score: 6,6,5,6=23/ 42/80 (joint 9th -3 way tie-)
This was a massive improvement. I really enjoyed it.
My score: 7/10 or 30/40

Angela and Kai, american smooth.
Score: 8,8,7,8=31/ 59/80 (joint 4th -2 way tie-)
A bit underwhelming after last week but still a graceful and beautiful dance.
My score: 7/10 or 27/40

Annabel and Johannas, quickstep.
Score: 4,6,6,6=22/ 50/80 (7th)
I loved everything but her uncertainty knoecked me of a bit.
My score: 7/10 or 27/40

Nikita and Gorka, charlston.
Score:3,5,5,5=18/ 36/80 (11th)
This was great. Didn't deserve the dance off. I was sure people would vote. Even thought the technique wasn't there it was still a sassy, joyous dance.
My score: 7/10 or 25/40

Krishnan and Lauren, foxtrot.
Score: 4,5,5,6=20/ 42/80 (joint 9th -3 way tie-)
Nice.
My score: 6/10 or 24/40

Jody and Jowita, paso doble.
Score: 3,4,4,5=16/ 37/80 (10th)
I loved the opening but it went a bit down hill from there.
My score: 5/10 or 19/40

Les and Nancy, samba.
Score:2,4,4,5=15/ 31/80 (12th)
I think he was the worst. Still, sad to see him go though.
My score: 4/10 or 15/40

I've given up with the song names if you want to see them then just comment and I'll add them again.
Also, from now on I will order them by how much I enjoyed the dance.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed, Kia.
