Strictly Come Dancing 2012, second live show, review This was the second live weekend of the ballroom juggernaut and extra tension came from the fact that the dreaded dance-off returns on tomorrow night's results show, followed by the first elimination. The couples also had just five days to learn their latest routines, rather than the luxury of three weeks like last time. Meanwhile, Team GB colleague Louis Smith's waltz was romantic, polished and poised. He now tops the standings jointly with Denise Van Outen, whose jive was enormous fun. She looks like the best bet for the garish glitterball trophy at this stage. Down the bottom of the leaderboard, Michael Vaughan's jive was just plain odd and after being marked down for an illegal lift last week, Nicky Byrne turned in a naff, disco-style cha-cha-cha. He'll need the Westlife fanbase to phone in and save his skin. Jerry Hall can't dance but should just about survive, thanks to her drawling Texan one-liners and lively banter with partner Anton Du Beke. Richard Arnold camped it up for his cha-cha-cha but his steps were as unconvincing as his floral shirt. Elsewhere, Bruce Forsyth fluffed a few jokes but we've grown accustomed to that. New judge Darcey Bussell had largely cured her nervous tic of saying "yah?" after every comment, but still ended every sentence with an upward inflexion? Like it was a question? When it wasn't? This is a question, though: who will suffer the humiliation of first elimination, joining a roll of shame which includes Quentin Wilson, Goldie and Edwina Currie? We'll find out tomorrow but I fear for Vaughan and Arnold. Let's hope the 2005 Ashes triumph buys the former England cricket captain a few favours.
