****** Strictly Week 2, THE TRUTH!! ********

So you want to know how they REALLY did without all your ridiculous biased responses on here.  You lot could have your team losing 6 - 0 at half time yet you'd still just have to say "We were really unlucky and we're going to win 7 - 6.  You're not lads your team have been thrashed FACT.  You've laid Danny large red so you have to see he was rubbish last night!  See what I mean.

Anyway here goes.  Now deep breaths chaps/ladies and just try to be HONEST for once (you really should try it it's great, why lie?) and see if you agree with me trying to be as fair as possible.  My marks for their last night's dances too.

DANNY:  Two very good dances he already looks the one to beat.  Very high standard for two weeks and going surely to the final even at this stage.  Very good looking, shame he wasn't a bit taller as I think he'd have looked that bit more elegant in ballroom but very good.  Yes I agree with the judges that was 8/10.

LOUISE:  Just as good as Danny really.  Two very good dances, very likeable she'll go a long way we all can see that. Again agree with judges it was 8/10 for me.

DAISY:  This is getting repetitive but I guess that's why they are top of leader board these first few.  Two very good efforts again.  Just as good as anyone and in with a real shout.  Well done it was an 8/10 from me.

LAURA:  I thought she was under marked last week with a very decent effort and this week she got the marks she deserved.  Better than last week she's another real contender.  Another 8/10 from me thought she did really well.

WILL:  Two sort of decent efforts but he's not been as good as the top dancers has he.  Started out at 4/1 favourite (I'm large red) and is already 10/1.  He's in with a shout perhaps but from what we've seen you really think he's the winner?  No he's not.  I thought 7/10 last night and bordering on 6/10.

CLAUDIA:  Someone remarked on this forum shame she's so small and I agree.  She doesn't quite look the part just not elegant enough but dance wise she's had two really good showings.  Another who could win it in a very open race I thought she did really well last night and once again 8/10 from me.

TAMEKA:  I said after we'd only seen the opening show with the group dance that she looked like she could move and she really can.  Good last week even better this week she really did well for a larger gal.  7/10 for me she'll be around a while yet.

ORE:  Yes I agree with some of your comments I don't think he's too likeable for some reason.  That said he's had two decent efforts but needs to up his game a bit if he wants to get to the later stages.  Pretty good though last night.  7/10.

GREG:  Got to be honest here (I know it's so out of character of you lot but you really should try it just watch this) .....  I've laid him heavy and went in again after last week when he went to 9/1 but am I a touch worried? ........... YES I AM!  Don't think he's been great though but better than I thought he would be.  His bum was sticking out last night, he's very pigeon toed which looks unsitely but for a big guy with no training he's head two decent enough efforts.  The winner though?  Once again no he isn't.  Middle finish for Greg so ok for a good few weeks yet.  Last night 6/10.

RINDER:  Two very good efforts but I thought he was better last week and undermarked.  They all pretty much gave him 6's which I thought was very unfair.  Last night he did well again but he has this silly face that he keeps up.  It was ok last week with the fun dance but last night with the tango he really should take it more serious.  The surprise package though and in with a shout.  6.5/10

ANASTASIA:  Considering they had to change her routine not bad.  She's a bit brash we know that which may not go down too well with the viewers but she can 'move it' quite well it has to be said.  Just average last night though.  5.5/10

LESLEY:  Of course she won't win it but for a woman of her age she did well I thought.  Likeable too but surely just a matter of time before she goes.  6/10.

NAGA:  Once more being honest I had £60 on her at 20/1 before the start and she's had just two average showings so looks a real waste.  She's decent enough I suppose but far from the winner and may just be two or three weeks left for her at this rate.  Must improve. Last night 6/10.

MELVIN:  Two very poor efforts, a little better last night maybe but not good at all.  Deservedly out I think. 5/10.

ED BALLS:  Very stiff last week, he was poor but last night what a difference.  He gave it a real go for an older, quite tubby guy and I thought he did really well.  We all love an underdog and he comes across likeable I think so good luck to him.  He's a large red for me but not worried.  6.5/10 last night.

So that's it.  I've tried to be as fair as I can.  Some will agree, some disagree of course and some will just come on here and mock everything I've said even though they know really I've been pretty accurate but can't bare to admit it.

Possible winner?  7 or 8 in with a shout I think, very open with perhaps Danny shining so far.

So don't forget keep out of the red and in the green.  See you next week and don't forget ........  You can't beat a bit of Louis!!
