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?

She needs to relax more, she looked very tense, but there is definitely talent there.

Shame there werent more actual Cha Cha Cha steps in the routine!

Shall have to watch on Sky+ but saw the opening credits. Very excited!

bebeballroom · 30/09/2011 21:14

She definitely needs to relax! But 1st dance of the series, wasn't too bad!

Doilooklikeatourist · 30/09/2011 21:15

Holly seems like a nice girl , and so pretty ( Artems not bad either )

CaveMum · 30/09/2011 21:17

I love Katya! Ever since seeing her in Take The Lead with Antonio Banderas she's been what I aim for when I dance!
If you haven't seen the film google "Take the Lead tango" and you'll see what I mean!

Knowing next to nothing about technique and style, I really enjoyed that and thought she showed real promise!

Must admit am more excited about tomorrow with Jason Grin

changer22 · 30/09/2011 21:17

Bruno's top lip? What has happened?

cardibach · 30/09/2011 21:17

Mmmmm Artem. Such a lot of man in such a compact package. THough his actual package is probs not that compact...

Skillbo · 30/09/2011 21:17

God - I fucking hate props!

AitchTwoOh · 30/09/2011 21:17

9pm?! hurrah!
i have just taken LITERALLY five mins to switch on the telly, ffs when did it get so complicated to switch on BBC1? we've got about seven remotes...

Doilooklikeatourist · 30/09/2011 21:19

Dans goooooood

bebeballroom · 30/09/2011 21:19

Euuurrrggh! PROPS!!!!

CaveMum · 30/09/2011 21:19

Hmm, Dan has a few timing issues and lacked sway, but on the whole not bad. The celeb men have it so much harder.

I luvs Dan

AitchTwoOh · 30/09/2011 21:21

studio's obviously roasting tonight...

Petisa · 30/09/2011 21:21

Can I join in? Aw Dan's lovely

gailforce1 · 30/09/2011 21:22

First dances - are the judges not being a little harsh?!

CaptainMartinCrieff · 30/09/2011 21:22

I love, love, love Strictly! DH is grumpy because I've 'hijacked' the television. Holly was very good (to be expected) and I thought this guy (whoever he is) did really well... I'd be happy for him to sweep me around the dance floor! Smile

bebeballroom · 30/09/2011 21:22

I sort of agree with Craig on dan! I didn't think he was as good as the others made out, but what do I know?! Hmm

Petisa · 30/09/2011 21:22

Holly looked like Beyonce to me but then I know nothing about dancing

CaptainMartinCrieff · 30/09/2011 21:23

Good lord... I can't stand Lulu, don't like Brendan either!

Petisa · 30/09/2011 21:23

What moisturiser is Lulu using and where can I buy some?

WhatsWrongWithYou · 30/09/2011 21:24

Dan's. Lovely - don't know him either but I get the distinct impression Katya's warmed to him as well.

RedBlanket · 30/09/2011 21:24

I'm in but I'm 5 min behind I'll cut out all the waffle to catch up.
Holly was ok, artem (phwor)

Go Jason

Petisa · 30/09/2011 21:24

Hmm "I'm a very nice person" Hmm
