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?

DH is watching the football but left the room. I switched over. Watched Nancy for about three seconds and very quickly turned back! It was awful.

Bruno is hysterical! Actually snorted!! Blush

Why is the title 2012 when we are in 2011 Confused?

I saw bits of Nancy I would never chose to see.

Poor Anton, that is another year he won't win.

arf...

bebeballroom · 08/10/2011 19:45

Can MNHQ maybe change the title to 2011?!

Wow, lower score from Alesha than from Craig!! Unheard of! Shock

bebeballroom · 08/10/2011 19:46

Mmmmmmmm Harry! :o

Don't care if he's good or not, just want to dribble over look at him! :o

TheOriginalFAB · 08/10/2011 19:48

He is scrummy but I am probably old enough to be his mother!

DuffyMoon · 08/10/2011 19:48

he looks a bit stiff

DuffyMoon · 08/10/2011 19:49

bit non-descript ?

CaveMum · 08/10/2011 19:50

Harry - it was ok, but left me a bit cold to be honest. He looks underconfident. He was hunched over quite a lot, not dancing to his height.

Craig is right, he could be great, but just don't think Aliona is a good enough teacher Hmm

I love him, I'd give him one erm....7! :o

CaveMum · 08/10/2011 19:52

I plead guilty over the 2012, I got carried away!

I really like little Harry - I think he has the potential to produce some spectacular dances, and his posture is surely very fixable.

DuffyMoon · 08/10/2011 19:52

yaaaaaaay - Russell !!!!

DuffyMoon · 08/10/2011 19:54

fab !

bebeballroom · 08/10/2011 19:55

Harry is only 3 years younger than me, I think it's ok to perve over him slightly... Hmm

RickGhastley · 08/10/2011 19:56

PMSL at Russell, bless him!

bebeballroom · 08/10/2011 19:56

Dancing Queen...oh gawd!!! Just lining up the jokes/puns!

DuffyMoon · 08/10/2011 19:56

camp as christmas - loved it...and to Abba too...

LetUsPrey · 08/10/2011 19:56

How old is Harry?

orienteerer · 08/10/2011 19:57

Go Russell!

HarrietJones · 08/10/2011 19:57

Marking my place as I haven't a clue re dancing but I like the programme!

CaveMum · 08/10/2011 19:58

Did they recycle Julian Clary's shirt for Russell?!

Too disco again (awful music) and a bit stompy, but he gives it welly and enjoys himself.

Very disappointed by the lack of "real" salsa tonight [salsa snob] if you want to see how it really should be done, look up "Chris Marques and Jaclyn Spencer" on You Tube.

knowing wink to craig there...

bebeballroom · 08/10/2011 19:59

Russell may be the comedy act for this year, but at least he is trying to dance which AW never even attempted last year!

I think he is adorable, and everyone clearly loves him (crew/celebs/pros etc)
