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?

So can anyone be worse than Lulu and get a score of 1 from Craig?

PoppadumPreach · 30/09/2011 21:32

Lulu. Haha. Maybe I should vote for her so she can be humiliated every week! Great tv.

AitchTwoOh · 30/09/2011 21:32

i respect natalie... but i do not take to her.

SeenButNotHeard · 30/09/2011 21:32

Hello!

Love Strictly, but is it bad that I really can't stand Bruce?

vinegarpuss · 30/09/2011 21:33

size 17 feet??

well...I wonder if...

thenightsky · 30/09/2011 21:33

Gawd he is massively tall!

CaptainMartinCrieff · 30/09/2011 21:33

My God he's huge!!!

MelinaM · 30/09/2011 21:33

I don't like Natalie either, I find her very arrogant ...especially when she first appeared with that Hollyoaks chap!

WhatsWrongWithYou · 30/09/2011 21:34

Was that Kiki Dee sitting next to Bryan May?
D'you know, when Lulu walked on the first thing I said was 'she's got the music in her.' DD was going Hmm - as are you lot, no doubt.
I thought her musicality would bring her through, but she spectacularly did nothing.

Singer is bloody rubbish.

Are tall men at a disadvantage dancing? Audley seems to be just walking to me.

Audley needsto stand up straighter, timing not bad but most of it was Natalie arsing about rather than actual dancing!

audley was very good - what does craig think his hands would be like - he was boxer - muppet

Starshaped · 30/09/2011 21:35

I can't take to Natalie either. She always seems to fawn all over her partners.

LydiaWickham · 30/09/2011 21:36

Don't like Natalie, but he was ok. He's got really big hands though.

RedBlanket · 30/09/2011 21:36

Clumsy he's a big 'un.

I like Natalie.

bebeballroom · 30/09/2011 21:36

He wasn't as bad as I was expecting!

cardibach · 30/09/2011 21:36

I love really big men.

CaptainMartinCrieff · 30/09/2011 21:37

Urgh Robbie Savage gives ms the creeps.

LineRunner · 30/09/2011 21:37

Bruce is embarrassing tonight.

MelinaM · 30/09/2011 21:37

Love Ola!! But what's going on with Robbie's hair??!!!

vinegarpuss · 30/09/2011 21:37

Cardi - phwoarr

I luv Robbie

CaptainMartinCrieff · 30/09/2011 21:37

ME the creeps

Doilooklikeatourist · 30/09/2011 21:38

Who chooses Tess's clothes ? She seems to have something hanging over her back . A purple wing ?

Starshaped · 30/09/2011 21:38

I like Robbie Savage but he doesn't strike me as a dancer. I'm hoping he'll surprise me!
