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?

Who were that bunch of dancers with Will? Show dancers? Or did he bring them with him?

I also heart Claude :o

Really can't bare Will Young.

Doilooklikeatourist · 09/10/2011 19:47

Bare ? Bear.

Think they were his own dancers. I thought one of them (the girl to the left of Will as we were looking at them) was going to fall out of her dress at one point!

Hmm Biscuit at this broadway bit.

Ariesgirl · 09/10/2011 19:51

I found it quite funny Olivia GrinGrinGrin

But I realise I could be alone there...

bebeballroom · 09/10/2011 19:51

The "Broadway" theme is confusing me (easily done, you cry). Are they just using Broadway music or are they dancing Broadway-stylee?

Whaaaaaa???

Ariesgirl · 09/10/2011 19:53

Nancy is IN????

bebeballroom · 09/10/2011 19:54

Edwina is worse than Audley surely? But I love Vincent! :( Silly old British public keeping Nancy in....why??? Why I ask you?!!? Hmm

MigratingCoconuts · 09/10/2011 19:54

Sounds like it is Broadway-stylee dancing Hmm Kind of defeats the point of the show doesn't it?! It's supposed to be a Ballroom and Latin show.

Ha! found telly...the weena goes!!!

HazeltheMcWitch · 09/10/2011 19:57

Edwina gone. I like her actually.
But hate hate hate that smarmy little twerp she got stuck with.

MigratingCoconuts · 09/10/2011 19:58

should have been Nancy....

Pan · 09/10/2011 19:58

Oh Vinnie's okay. Edwina was second on my list for the rotten egging.

Right, see you all back here next Saturday! Hopefully I'll finally have my broadband up and running by then so I won't have to wait AGES for the page to refresh!

I love Vincent! I think he's so cheeky & funny! Blush Dislike Edwina though, still Shock that bloomin' Nancy satyed in!!

puzzlesum · 09/10/2011 20:02

Love Claude. I actually hadn't seen Nancy's dance last night apart from the clip at the start of this show but dear God in heaven, that truly redefined 'darnce disaaarrrrrrrstah' surely.

Glad Edwina's out but it has to be Nancy next week.

MrsKitty · 09/10/2011 20:06

Glad Edwina's out this week. Am hoping Alesha will continue to do a bad job of covering up her utter dislike for Nancy and let her usual anodyne comments slip, in favour of another '2' score next week. Don't want Nancy sticking around too long though!
