Mumsnet Talk

if only to see Brendan Cole and i dont reckon he'll be around for long with Jo Wood!

Think Tuffers will be hysterical though.

Who are we tipping to win/be 1st one out?

they're not on tonight - only the first 8 couples are dancing, they're in the second batch next week I think! We get to see them do a group dance though - That's got to be special!

Ricky Whittle was on let's dance for comic relief and will be very good I think, might be one to watch!

I'm getting very fidgety waiting, bloody one hour long One Show gah!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm rooting for Craig Kelly at the mo. I suspect Phil will do well however he performs. Not sure about the ladies though. Love strictly... What time is it starting at?

I thought Phil was tipped to be the first one out cause he has the moves of 'a bowl of mashed potato' or something?

Found the quote.. "known as 'the John Sergeant'. Former cricketer Phil Tufnell is an early contender this year - it is whispered that he moves with the grace of a plate of poorly mashed potatoes"

I don't think much of James' haircut, it reminds me a bit of Gary Rhodes.

Jo Wood was a bit wobbly coming down the stairs wasn't she? It doesn't bode well for actual dancing IMO.

Poor old Darren always seems to get the middle-aged/older ladies.

WTF is Rav Wilding, and is that his real name?

I'm looking forward to some actual dancing.

Ah, this has given my Friday night a new purpose as Friday TV is normally a bag of poo!

Not sure of Rav's celebrity status though!

2 threads -how will I keep up AND watch the dancing. here too

Hi Daisy <<waves>> I'm indulging my not so secret hankerings for Brendan.

nope that is the same thread T

Oops well there is another but my sleep deprived brain obviously can't cope with all this multi-tasking.

is this it?

that's one but not the one I saw......too many strictly threads!

My Dc have done something to the sound on the telly as well and it sounds horrible, all tinny and fake; tis spoiling my strictly experience.

Ola's on. DH has perked up!

the dresses are just dullsville tonight,or is it just me thinking that?

apart from Layla Primeval's that is!

DH is already doing my head in. Keeps commenting on how rubbish everything is! Don't bloody watch it then!! Leave me to enjoy it grrr

Aleesha got nothing to say about the dancing. Bring back Arlene.

Lynda's dress just vile.

Agree about Linda's dress

it turns out i can only watch this with dd, it doesn't hold me without her being there and adding up all the scores are the friday night shows just for the beginning of the series? is the saturday prog still on at a reasonable time?

definately think they should have kept Arlene

Watching Darren dance with Lynda is like seeing him dance with his mother in law.

We are all Strictly Virgins

DS1 says as good as (if not better than) X Factor
DS2 is deffo yawning.

I'm quite enjoying the judges....

oooh its Joe next <<excited>>
