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.

I love karen hardy on ITT they never give her enough time and she's really informative, I think she'd be a gerat judge.

I really miss Lilia and Brian they were my favourite pro dancers.

I liked Patsy she seemed all vulnerable.

I thought they went easy on Ann W but unecessarily laid into Paul Daniels they were quite nasty. i don't like him but he's old and he's gving it a go and it's week 1 give him a break.

Really looking forward to the salsa's this weekend! Just hope that most of them are actual "salsa" and not faffing about!

Also hope they use some real salsa music for a change instead of trying to make "pop" music fit.

Am loving the look of Kara and Artem's foxtrot and I think Patsy's salsa looks good. From the training footage it looks like she maybe had a bad week with nerves and that awful costume so fingers crossed this week is better.

Yes, I took agin James Jordan in the John Sergeant row but warmed to him last year in his support for Ola.

He and Pamela are making a really good couple. I love her she has brilliant energy and confidence with a great sense of humour, and she dances beutifully proving you don't have to be young and skinny to be graceful giving hope to us all!

He was just quite unpleasant about him (imo) on ITT saying it should be about the dancing etc etc and the focus on JS was spoiling it, whereas I was in the camp the public decide and it's about entertainment based around dancing.

Anyway, I've forgiven him now and we've put it behind us.

Oh no I love James Jordan!! I think he and Pamela are well matched this year (and have to say I was definitely in the camp of 'get Sergeant out') 2 years ago. I'm quite contrary in this respect as I much prefer the live X Factor shows to the jokers in the auditions!!

I always look forward to the salsa but then am usually disappointed though I loved Brian Fortuna and he did actually use a salsa track in the last series.

is someone going out tommorrow?? any guesses anyone??

I'm afraid I'm one of those people who wants to vote the bad dancers out so I hope it is Paul or Ann, much as I love Ola and Anton.

In reality it will probably be someone from the lower half of the board - perhaps Peter?

I know what you mean about the usual salsas sailorsgal, I usually end up shouting at the tv!

I reckon Peter Shilton or Paul Daniels will be off tomorrow. Paul Daniels just doesn't have the popularity to keep him in for the fun of it. He's just creepy.

yh i think prob peter too but maybe goldie or patsy if they don't improve

Yes I get what you mean about X Factor vs Strictly Dandy and it's really just that I enjoy watching the good dancers as it's so uncomfortable seeing gangly legs or flat footed stomping or ugly hands and arms! I'm looking forward to tonight already and also for tomorrow's show with Claudia!

I love Claudia, she reminds me of my best mate - totally bonkers!

IT'S STARTING!!!!!!!!!

Where are you all?!

Patsy looks good, it's funny what confidence can do for you.

Thought Matt's Foxtrot was good, but am I the only one who thought it looked more suited to a Tango?

To me the Foxtrot should be danced to Frank Sinatra!

Not sure the ending was necessary though. It's a family show after all!

Wow he was good and its only week 2.

he was very serious wasn't he, oh but so damn rugged!

What was that track?

My dh asked if they were doing the Tango.

The song was by Plan B, can't remember the name, think it's something like "She Said"
