Ugh I'm sorry. This was tough on me as I really like or loved all of the nominees. I totally agree.... and even mentioned how I enjoyed Alyssa more on each reality TV show she does. Ugh I definitely wish she could have lasted longer on USA2.

Now I know @Solaris ain't confused reaction me when he's the one that made these noms.

Alyssa Lopez (The Challenge USA 1) The Challenge franchise and DWTS franchise targeted yet again... oh what a surprise. At least it's not just one show being targeted? I don't really know what cut to make here as I do genuinely like all of the nominees, but I guess I'm choosing Alyssa to go in order to help out one of my bigger favorites to rank higher on The Challenge USA side but we'll see. I just got to be strategic at this point. Anywho, Alyssa Lopez competed on The Challenge USA 1. Before that, we all know her best as the last standing non-Cookout member that made it to 7th place on Big Brother (US) 23. Alyssa is someone whom I tend to like and root more and more each time she does these shows. Her run was quite a rollercoaster on this season, as was the case with many people. Some standout moments from Alyssa's run includes her winning Episode 4's Falling Off the Knowledge with Kyland. They made a HUGE move this week as they put Shan & Xavier in the elimination, where they were supposedly working with Xavier as part of the Big Brother alliance, but they had bad blood with Xavier during their BB23 days and it wasn't really repaired their. Their risk paid off as it did get rid of Xavier. Alyssa was unfortunately saddled with Leo on Episode 7 where they came in last place in the Wreck-Reational Driving challenge. They did seem like the favorites to go but they shockingly won the Ball & Chain arena elimination game, as it seemed like that was against them, but Kyland & Kyla couldn't get a question about Madonna, which eliminated them. With some more game info, I did really like Alyssa's and Angela's bond in the game.... I think they were initially in a Big Brother alliance but when that dissolved, they stayed tight and worked strongly together. I kinda loved how they were against Sarah and had that rivalry against her.... because Angela & Alyssa >>>>> Sarah, on this season. And in this rankdown game too! Oh how I am so glad I made sure Sarah went before them. Anywho, ugh... Sarah won the Getting Tired challenge on Episode 11, where Angela shockingly came in last place. Sarah, Domenick & Tyson sent Alyssa in for elimination. So besties and tight allies, Angela and Alyssa had to battle it out on the Pole Wrestle arena game. This was a physical elimination, so the favor was in Angela's hand where she won and eliminated Alyssa. This was a really sad and tough elimination to watch as they didn't want to battle against each other and wanted to make the final together. So it was sad that didn't happen. But yeah, Angela played a really good and solid game... and just reading up and doing this write-up, makes me kinda sad to cut her. But I worked so hard on this and don't want it to go to waste so I'll keep it. Sorry to Alyssa fans on this cut but my options were tied against me. Saving: Erica-Cody & Denys Samson

FYI: I will start the rounds sometime either on Sundays or Mondays, just to make sure and give people enough time to watch the dances. (And also to myself whenever I can watch the show). I will start this week's round shortly.

Also some shameless promotion, but I just opened the +/- routine game, so make sure to play there if you want: https://idolforums.com/topic/747326-best-scd21-routine-game/ And as always, the rating the routines game is posted in this forum so make sure you vote there too!

We will now return back in current time and will play in the Best SCD Series 21 +/- Routine Game. Who will be the major frontrunners to dominate this game? Who will have no chance? How will their routines battle it out and whose will come out on top? Will there be that one celebrity that continually always get last? All these questions and more will be answered in the upcoming months. As usual, we will play the 13 weeks of round with the Top 5 (or varying amounts) routines going into the wildcard round. Then we will get a select amount of wildcard routines to advance through to the final round. Then we will vote for the winning routine.

Mirai Nagasu (Celebrity Big Brother) Mirai Nagasu is an Olympic winning figure skater who competed on the 3rd season of Celebrity Big Brother. Mirai was actually the other cut I was debating on to make this round... so I guess it makes sense now to make this cut now that it's up in the air. Also while both Mirai and Rich & Dom are early boots, I do feel like Rich & Dom delivered more memorable moments on their season so I am fine with them lasting a little longer. Back to Mirai, awww I do really feel for her on this show. I was looking forward to her on here (I know we all were) but she had a really tough time connecting with the houseguests and was always a target on her short 13-day stay in the house (I'm shocked it was that long, as I thought it was 8 days?). Mirai was 28 at the time while the next youngest were 35/36 and most of the house were in their 40s and 50s, so Mirai didn't really have much common ground or connection with the other houseguests. She was a strong competitor, as expected, as I think she nearly won the first HoH but Miesha won it (of course) and nominated Mirai that week. There was a twist that saved her and replaced Todd in her spot. Ooh it was this hat from the Gala Gift where the cast would pass the hat around to save each other. Todd was the last one to get the hat, so he chose to replace him with Mirai. The cast voted Teddi out. Chris Kirkpatrick won the second HoH where Mirai was a target once again. Luck was not on Mirai's side as she didn't win the veto and was then evicted by a 7-0 vote. She was the second boot coming in 10th place. I think Mirai had some cute, fun snarky and sassy DRs that were fun to watch? I also wish she had lasted longer because I could have seen her being a good player, but maybe with a different cast that could have been the cast? We'll never know as she never got that chance. But hey, the fact that she made it to 2nd for the CBB3 cast, shows how much she is well liked (or not hated, at least) by us. I don't really agree with her making it that far for that season but I'm not angry or raging about it either. Saving: Rich & Dom

cut Mirai save Rich & Dom

Yay watched the show last night! Week 1 Thoughts! Yayy so happy and excited for a new series of Strictly starting! I read comments of the opening/intro feeling very Love Island-esque, which I didn't get but after watching it, totally got it. It was a cute/fun intro. The opening group routine to "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", which had a Contemporary and ballroom fusion/feel to it, was really stunning and beautiful to watch! Katya & Nikita did a wonderful job as the leads of the dance! Adam & Luba - Cha-Cha: I feel like Adam is a good celeb to open up this series. I am interested in this partnership as he's so giddy/overexcited and OTT while Luba is so sreserved and more on the serious side. LOL Adam is hilarious in these rehearsals. This was a cute opening dance and it really suited Adam's personality perfectly. The waffle house theme was fitting for this. It was fun and he was having the time of his life performing this. The dancing did seem kinda hit or miss throughout - he had some decent moments but the footwork and some partnering sections didn't look so good. Kinda like Anton said, the top half was good/fun but the footwork was suspect and sloppy. I think he just needs to refine the technique. LOL that he was able to bust in the robot move in there but hopefully that's not something that won't happen too much. Oooh his wife in the audience is really gorgeous. I think the score was fair. I'd go with a 19 or 20. Angela S & Carlos - Tango: LOL Carlos' version of "Prisoner" when he told Angela that was their song. And haha I enjoyed Angela's commentary of learning the Tango. Oooh I do love taht they got a cool modern song choice for their Tango. She was a little shaky on one of the opening spins, but other than that, I thought she gave a good and solid effort here. She really captured and got into the Tango attitude and passion for the dance. She did have some weird posture issues in some hold section, but her footwork looked pretty good and sharp. There were a few weird choreography out of hold parts (like the separate spinning) but eh.. Potential is definitely there for her and I can see her going far. She got a 23, but I would have gone for all 6's for a 24. Eddie & Karen - Quickstep: I find Eddie so fun and think he has a great infectious personality. Looking forward to how Eddie & Karen work together. LOL Karen's "I can't wait to get you in the studio and destroy you" comment. I think the Quickstep is a good first style for Eddie as he gets to start off with the most fun ballroom style. LOL the 80s TV show theme was too cute and hilarious. Okay this dance was a lot of fun and as expected, Eddie is a great, fun and infectious performer. He was having a blast with this dance and really sold it on the out of hold parts. Okay, he definitely had some posture and in frame issues, where he was quite hunched and flat footed in the footwork. There's stuff to work on with the technical aspects and he was able to get away with the technical faults because of how well he performed and sold this. It was still so fun to watch. I do worry for him for the more serious ballroom styles. LMAO his mother was hamming it up when they showed her in the audience. I think Craig's 4 was a bit harsh but would have gone with a mix of 5s and 6s - think I would go with a 22 here. Angela R & Kai - Cha-Cha: Aww it's so nice seeing the legend that is Angela Rippon and her and Kai get along in such a cute way. They are adorable in the intro here, haha. Oh wait, I did not know that this Shirley Bassey version was actually of the P!nk song. I thought it was a different song. My mind is shook right now. OMG the opening of this dance was so extra. Wow okay so Angela did much better than I was expecting with this dance. She sold the sassy & flirty character and brought a lot of fun here. She was quite clean and precise in how she danced it but I also thought she lacked hip action and did have some stiffness. Yeah it wasn't perfect but it was a joy to watch. OKAY Miss Angela with that leg extension. That was kinda crazy but so good. Aww at how emotional Shirley got watching her as Angela would introduce her on Come Dancing competitions. I do think straight 7s were a bit overscored though. I kinda get the judges being shook. I would go with all 6s and maybe one 7 in there for a 24/25. Nikita & Gorka - Waltz: Nikiia is a really fun and big personality..... I find her adorable and a lot of fun. Ooof, I do think the Waltz is a tough first dance as she's got to be tame and subdued, which doesn't seem her. LOL Gorka on the radio with Nikita was hilarious. Aww I thought this was a very lovely and pretty Waltz. I did notice Nikita having some nerves throughout the dance and she was looking down a lot while dancing with Gorka. I guess in the sense to make sure her footwork was right. She does have to work on her posture and frame going forward. And she did seem to hold onto Gorka tightly in a bit of fearful way at times. She did have some nice grace and did a fine job. Wow with Anton had a lot of positive comments (though he did mention some critiques) that I'm surprised he only gave a 5. Craig's 3 was way harsh though. I agree and think the 5s were fair. A little underscored... I would go for a 20. Layton & Nikita - Samba: LOL Layton saying "I want people to think he's kii (as in good)" and Nikita thought he said cute. I feel like Layton is already teaching Nikita so much new lingo. The producers are not going easy on Layton with giving him the Samba for his first dance. So his issue was figuring out how much to give and not give too much to mess up the technical footwork, which I fear is the issue for most performers/ringers early on (which kinda reminds me of Fleur's earlier dances). I do love that "Touch" was used for this Samba. Layton had a strong solo right at the start. Okay Layton really threw it down and gave it his all here. This was a really fun, firey and fierce dance. He had great technique but really sold the performance and brought so much good attitude here. I do think some parts were maybe kinda a bit too strong/harsh... and it could have had more flow. Maybe a bit spiky at times? I get the footwork issues but that's something he can easily work on. But there were a lot of flashy moments, like that split he did in the middle of the dance - and some other moves. A lot of wow moments! He did dance the heck out of this. This was great as I was expecting. Hmm, the 7s and 8 were fair... I may even go for one more 8 too. I would go with a 29 or 30. Zara & Graziano - Cha-Cha: Zara is so gorgeous.... I will always be saying this. lol the dancing with a broom Graziano had Zara doing. Oooh I never imagined "Crush" for a Cha-Cha (I moreso pictured a Rumba for it). It seems kinda slow for that style? This dance was cute. Zara did seem kinda stiff and hesistant throughout it. There were some flashy moments that were enjoyable and crowd pleasing here and there - like with some of her leg moves/extensions and split she did. But I did think most of her dancing was on the tame/mellow side and it did seem a little on the posey side. I think nerves were there. I was wishing and wanting more from her but she did try. It's her first dance and she's totally out of her comfort I can get Craig's ploddy and wooden comments. Hopefully ballroom will work more in her favor. Aww Zara's excitement and happiness of doing/completing the dance was adorable. Omg her boyfriend is Sam... who did Celebrity Big Brother some years ago. Ouch at Craig's 3 but that was what she wanted from him. I think the overall score of 19 was fair as I'd go with that. Les & Nancy - Tango: lol Les hoping his acting skills can make him look like he can dance. Aww Les was quite struggling with the Tango and he can't go in comedy mode like he wants to do with this style. LOLZ Nancy's constant "good boy" comments at Les. I had low expectations for this dance and....oh dear, this was on the rough side. Les did seem really stiff and blocky while dancing this dance and in the hold parts. I guess stiffness can work in the Tango. But something seemed off and like he was kinda too forward in hold? The footwork wasn't great. But he did play his bartender character well and sold the story of the dance well. But it actually could have been even worse, which it wasn't. I guess I'm thinking of Tony's Tango last year, which was worse. OMG WHATT @ all of Anton's comments and how he was demonstrating Les' dancing in it, omg. Oh Les has a 12 year old son? I wasn't expecting that. Ooof at the 2 from Craig but then the 5s from Shirley & Anton were a bit much. I would go for all 4's for a 16, so a fair score overall. Ellie & Vito - Jive: The more I see Ellie & Vito, the more I'm sold on them as a partnership. Lmao Ellie is really hilarious and cute in their rehearsals. The Jive is a great big challenge for her first dance but I can see raising to the challenge. And yep.... Ellie did that and delivered a really strong Week 1 Jive. She had great kicks & flicks, sassy character & energy and great partnering work throughout. She kept up the speed up and she was sharp and precise throughout. I loved her energy and the fun she had. It was also cool that this was a bit of a sexier kind of Jive too. I get that she had a few inconsistent moments that the judges mentioned. I also did think some of the partnering/ground work tricks at the end was a little shaky at a certain spot. But other than that, a great first dance! Aww I loved their reactions to the scores, especially Ellie's scream at Motsi's 8. I think the 7s and 8 were fair and again, I wouldn't have minded another 8 in there for her. I'll go with a 29 or 30. Jody & Jowita - Quickstep: Aww I think Jody & Jowita are a nice partnership. I think Jowita is the perfect partner to help Jody break out of his shyness here. Oooh the Quickstep is quite challenging for Jody. It's going to be interesting seeing him learn and rehearse this with his right prospethic leg. Oooh this has a Fred & Ginger theme, which makes sense given the song choice. But wow pulling that card out on Week 1 already. Okay so Jody did seem a little shy/timid and nervous at the start of the dance - like that section they were on the little stage. Then he got to the Quickstep section and it was actually pretty decent. He had a good frame but did have some inconsistent posture issues. He had some good footwork though I did notice the part he messed up around the middle of the dance. Then by the end of it, he did loosen up and showed joy. I just needed more joy and performance as I felt that was missing for about 75% of the dance. Wow Motsi was saying that, which I totally agree with her on. So yeah this Quickstep was kind of the exact opposite of Eddie's. Aww I love how supportive Jowita is of him. I think the 21 was fair and I would go with that score too - mostly 5s and probably a 6 in there. Bobby & Dianne - Foxtrot: Lol Bobby is so smiley and happy and I think his and Dianne's personalities match perfectly well together. Although I do worry for them with their height difference as Dianne's got yet another much taller partner. lol how silly and excited Bobby gets in the rehearsals. Aww this was a really cute, sweet and romantic Foxtrot. I do feel like Bobby could have some potentially great ballroom dances and this was a very good first ballroom from him. I thought Bobby had a pretty good frame and partnered Dianne well. He was quite smooth and moved well in hold. He showcased some nice footwork. I did think he had some posture issues with the bottom sticking out at times. He did have a lot of charming personality and sold the romantic feel of the dance. The floor bit was really cute, though I can get how some wouldn't like it. Lol Claudia calling him out on never watching the show before. Aww at his father crying after that. OMG Bobby's "she's gonna mother my children" but then he meant "auntie my children." Joe isn't gonna like that, lmaoo. I think the score was fair. I would go with all 7s and maybe an 8 in there, so I agree with the 29 (or go with a 28). The two 8s did seem a bit much but it balances out Craig's 6 so it all works lol. Annabel & Johannes - Cha-Cha: Aww Annabel has a really good energy about her. I'm not surprised she's wants to start training ASAP (like when they were doing their photoshoot). Aww their singing of "Uptown Girl" in her fan was really cute. I am so not surprised they got a tennis themed dance. I had very low expectations for Annabel but wow she was really a great pleasant surprise here. She was light on her feet, but danced this routine in such a clean and precise way. She was quite elegant but had good leg action and footwork. I really enjoyed their partnering work and she performed it with so much joy. She could have had some more hip action, but that's something she could improve on. I did think some of the tennis stuff - with the seated break section and tennis playing, it was distracting of the actual dance. But it worked with the theme. A very good first dance. Aww it's nice seeing her son and daughter in the audience. I agree with all 7s so I would go with a 28 here too (or maybe throw in one 6, for a 27). Amanda & Giovanni - Viennese Waltz: Lol Giovanni's "she's got a great teacher" and poses at the camera... he would. I do see Amanda as quite competitive and a hard worker. I had a feeling ballroom would be good with her... and she did prove that with this dance. This was very stunning and beautiful. Amanda was really graceful and danced this in such a smooth way. She had a good frame, posture and good footwork. Giovanni gave her a lot of difficult VW content and Amanda executed and coped well with it. It definitely did not feel like a Week 1 dance at all. It had a great mature and grown quality to it. Though I can also get Anton's comment of wanting her to breathe and be free in the dance and Craig feeling it was too powerful, as she did seem a little serious at times. Aww it was nice seeing her son and partner in the audience. I think the 29 was fair - with the 3 7s and an 8. The 8 from Shirley kinda had me shook. Krishnan & Lauren - Cha-Cha: LOL I'm kinda so excited to see how Krishnan tackles this Cha-Cha and if he really throws himself at this. Krishnan is really fun and kinda hilarious to watch in the rehearsals with how he's learning the dance. OMGG Lol this dance was really something else. hahaha I do love how Krishnan threw himself into the dance and had a blast with this. His dancing was really quite wild and all over the place. I have NO words for the gyration he was doing. He did have a good and fun grooove here. The footwork and technique was on the messy side and needs some work. But the personality was there. I do think this was kinda overscored with the 22... and I think this dance happening towards the end helped its score. I would go with mostly 5's here. But he did have the most fun Cha-Cha of the not-so-great Cha-Chas. The 6s were a bit much. But I would go with a 4 and three 5's, for a 19 or 20. Nigel & Katya - Paso Doble: lol Nigel & Katya have like this fun, cheeky and dry humor personalities together as a partnership. lol what is this Colin alter ego he has? lmao. I actually liked seeing this fun side of Nigel in this video as I didn't know he had such a fun personality. I was really looking forward to this, as I love the Paso and love "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Ooooh a ring master theme? Interesting. Oh wow, this was such a killer Paso to close the show! Nigel did a really strong job with this dance. The shaping and spanish lines were so exaggerated and full of character. Nigel partnered Katya really well and looked and danced this like the proper leading man. And I loved all of their side by side work. They had great shaping, energy, lines and he matched her up so well! Oooh and then the cape work at the end. Again, he nailed that with so much power. And yeah he danced and performed this with great power and intensity. Definitely deserving of all 8s. I wouldn't be surprised if this had gotten 9s if this was done on another recent season where they gave 9s on Week 1. Nigel's got a lot of potential and I know Katya is excited to work with him. I just hope she doesn't break him by December. But I agree with the 32. Oooh and wow Katya's highest Week 1 scores too... that's amazing for her! Rankings: 1. Nigel & Katya - Paso Doble 2. Layton & Nikita - Samba 3. Ellie & Vito - Jive 4. Amanda & Giovanni - Viennese Waltz 5. Bobby & Dianne - Foxtrot 6. Annabel & Johannes - Cha-Cha 7. Angela S & Carlos - Tango 8. Angela R & Kai - Cha-Cha 9. Eddie & Karen - Quickstep 10. Jody & Jowita - Quickstep 11. Krishnan & Lauren - Cha-Cha 12. Nikita & Gorka - Waltz 13. Adam & Luba - Cha-Cha 14. Zara & Graziano - Cha-Cha 15. Les & Nancy - Tango That was a really fun performance premiere episode! I struggled on some rankings and would say the interchangeable rankings for me were: 2/3, 7/8 and 11/12. I feel those could change on rewatch but so could some others.

Ooooh very pleased for "If." Such an iconic song/video. Love seeing 3 #1 rankings for it! Those low rankings of "If" are not cute from Victoria & Priscilla tho. But still glad "If" was able to make it to 2nd! I am quite surprised Derek didn't rank it higher than 14th though. And yayyy very pleased and happy for "Rhythm Nation" winning! Again, that's another iconic song/video with a really powerful message behind it and a power video too. Slayyy that Crisis and Elliott also ranked it at #1 with me! Though like Crisis said, it was not easy picking out a #1 favorite from this Janet list. I had no idea what it would be for me until listening to all of these songs together. Happy that this didn't get any Bottom 5 rankings.
