Strictly Come Dancing

[carrotsandpeasifyouplease]

Starts on Saturday!!
I can't find any contestant rumours other than Goldie, does anyone know of any?
Is Alesha back? can only find articles about her not signed contract yet.
No results show apparantly and new format for voting, can't wait - Winter is here.

Yes, maybe she'll lighten up around him. It's always embarrassing when they get that stricken look at the judges' comments - don't they know it only makes us laugh at them more?

I love strictly but cannot stand there not being a dance off. why drag the show out for half an hour? and bloody hell, get rid of Alesha and get Karen Hardy on the panel. I have watched strictly from the start and hate all the changes they are making [stick in the mud emoticon [hgrin]]

Very sad for Brendan, but love seeing Ian back!

Karen would be so great on the panel wouldn't she? Every time I see her on ITT I always think how much better she would be on the panel than Alesha.

I didn't catch why Brendan wasn't dancing this week. Is it a bereavement?

yes, his father died on sat. :(

Anyone else think that one of Dave Arch's orchestra looks like BB the JazzCat from Maggie and the Ferocious Beast?the band
(from Wiki - BB (Billy Bob) is a cat who lives near the Muck Bridge. He is a soulful jazz musician who plays bass and wears sunglasses)

Makes me smile every week.

Thanks for your responses re. the choreography. I thought that the judges were really harsh in their comments about Paul and Ola. It was obvious that the routine was intentionally comical in parts but it told a story and I thought they could have shown their appreciation of that.

Agree that Karen would be great on the panel.

Not sure if Darcy is on this year.

Looking forward to tonight, Tango is my favourite Ballroom dance (not that I dance much Ballroom!).

I'm not a big fan of the Charleston, but thought Jimmy did a good job with that dance.

Liked Scott's Tango a lot, but the music was off-putting.

Is there anyone out there?!

[sings tunelessly] All by myself! Don't wanna be, all by myyysellllf!

Alesha is gorgeous.
I didn't like the music to Scott's tango.

Is Scott Jack (Eastenders). If so loved music loved dance - he's a winner.

Thought the Charleston suited Tina, but she lacked swivel through her feet.

Oooo, hello people [waves]!

Ah, some REAL tango music at last!

Not a bad effort, but if you're dancing with Vincent you can't go too far wrong!

Hmmm, I didn't really like that. She looked awkward to me.

Evidently the judges don't agree with me [hgrin]!

The Charleston is just not my cup of tea!

I am looking forward to Ian's and Michelle's
tango. I still remember Ian's tango with Zoe.

Gavin looks very stiff, but I think he's slowly getting better.

Erm, poor Peter!

BTW, I'd kill for Erin's figure! Heck, I'd kill for any of the female Pro's figures!

Have to say I expected more from that Tango.
Pamela looked surprised rather than aloof!

Perhaps my expectations are a bit too high!

Though listening to the judges I must be having an off-day as they seem to love it!

I agree with you HRH i was expecting more from Pamela.
