Strictly Come Dancing 2011

As all the other threads seem to have died off I thought I'd start a new one in anticipation of this Friday's first live show.

I have to say I'm not too bothered about the Celebs this year, but then again I'm more interested in watching the professionals anyway!

The line up for each of the two shows has been announced (from BBC website):

On Friday 30th September the couples performing for the first time on live television will be:

?Alex
?Anita
?Audley
?Dan
?Lulu
?Robbie
?Russell

Then on Saturday 1st October the couples performing for the first time together will be:

?Chelsee
?Edwina
?Harry
?Holly
?Jason
?Nancy
?Rory

Please note the running order has yet to be confirmed. The celebrities have been listed above in alphabetical order.

They will dance either a Waltz or a Cha Cha Cha, but I'm not 100% sure who is doing what.

My overriding thought in the run up for the series so far has been "I hope the wardrobe department come up with some decent foundations for poor Chelsee!"
That outfit they've put her in for the promo shots makes her boobs look humungous Shock

Anyone else care to share their thoughts in advance?

Robbie was soooooooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!Grin

CaveMum · 08/10/2011 19:19

God I love that song!

Robbie - pleasantly surprised! He has good rhythm! Shoulders crept up at times, and he doesn't use his ankles quite enough resulting in some flat footed moments, but very good overall!

Robbie was better than I expected!

Quite enjoyed it!! 8

DuffyMoon · 08/10/2011 19:20

hmm 8 - 9's ?

DuffyMoon · 08/10/2011 19:22

yaaay - come on Anita

bebeballroom · 08/10/2011 19:24

Love Anita, she is just enjoying it so much it really shows

DuffyMoon · 08/10/2011 19:26

the whole things was fun - hope she gets good marks

CaveMum · 08/10/2011 19:27

Oh dear, poor Anita. Bloody awful non-salsa music to contend with and went wrong quite early on.
She kept going, and seemed to be enjoying herself but for me it just wasn't her dance. She'll do well in the ballroom, but will struggle with Latin.

Fun! But probably not very good technically (clueless emoticon) Hmm

6...7?!

DuffyMoon · 08/10/2011 19:28

woohoo

CaveMum · 08/10/2011 19:28

Judges were watching a completely different dance to me Hmm

Ooooooooooooh! JASON!!!!!! :o Can't wait!

AnyoneButLulu · 08/10/2011 19:29

I thought she did very well to keep it together after the cockups - Lulu please note, that's how you do it. Do we think the bit where he lifted her up was an emergency fill-in for some choreography that didn't quite work in rehearsal?

AnyoneButLulu · 08/10/2011 19:30

Seven Craig? Really? Seven?

DuffyMoon · 08/10/2011 19:33

surprised at the fannying at the beginning...overall seemed good

PattySimcox · 08/10/2011 19:33

Jason - wow

CaveMum · 08/10/2011 19:33

Jason - didn't need the faffing at the start. Because he's good I'll be hypercritical - his right arm kept dropping too low and there was some gapping. Overall pretty darn good, but I would say Robbie was better on the basis that he is not from a performance background.

I love Kristina! I LOVE Jason!

Really loved it! Very classy, slick!

8s probably...9? This early...9?! Maybe......

bebeballroom · 08/10/2011 19:37

9 from Alesha, so that doesn't really count does it?! Wink

Still, YAY, go Jason!

TheOriginalFAB · 08/10/2011 19:37

Did you see Vincent looking at Christina's bosom? [naughty boy]

CaveMum · 08/10/2011 19:38

Nancy up next, could be a car crash. You know Anton's after the mum vote when he gets the chest hair out!

oh lordy...

bebeballroom · 08/10/2011 19:40

Oh dear......

DuffyMoon · 08/10/2011 19:41

it was like he was carring a carcass...

CaveMum · 08/10/2011 19:41

She has very little sense of timing, though at least she had some better, albeit Mambo, music to work with. She just threw too much at it and needs to learn to stand up straight.
