Strictly Come Dancing 2012 - who's getting excited?

[CeliaFate]

Just read that Katya Virshilas isn't returning to the show, a new dancer Karen Hauer is taking her place.

Who will be in this year's line up?

This year I am writing to BBC to complain.

I predict Michael Vaughan and Erin

I'm surprised they didn't put Colin with Natalie to be honest. I'm not sure if Colin is freaky tall or all the female pros are teeny.

I want to see them dance now.

the side cleavage is flesh-coloured fabric. it's an it dress (for reasons beyond my comprehension).

Aarrrrggghhhh Tess! Can they move that metal belt a bit higher?

He's 6ft 4 according to google

I can NOT take my eyes off Jerry Hall

Jerry Hall is fab

Did they say that the dancing doesn't start till 5th October?

Gutted that claudia has quit ITT :( :(

omg i NEVER swoon over chaps but Colin and Louis.

I can't take my eyes off Louis!

Can we just turf some out now? 3 weeks did he just say? 3 weeks? 3 weeks?

DvO looked pretty competent

Hmm, first thoughts:

Jerry - lots of walking, not much dancing. Shades of Nancy perhaps?
Victoria - the girl got rhythm, I'm pleasantly surprised

X post Kayano!

When this group are together, the amount of gorgeousness is unbelievable! Will we be able to cope? Yes, please.....

But Jerry didn't dance. She just walked her way through it.

Cavey!!

I didn't think Victoria had much rhythm...time will tell. Am so excited!

Popping in Louis, OMG I`m old enough to be his mother but what the hell, hes mmmmmm

Well for a first attempt they did quite well compared to other first group dances!!

Why do we have to wait 3 weeks

I type too slow for this thread. Ignore me and I'll keep posting anyway!

I thought they were ok for the first dance. Wondered if Jerry may struggle to let go?

VP was on Woman's Hour last week, she totally did my napper in for reasons that i couldn't quite work out. just really ME ME ME and annoying. but then to be fair, she was being interviewed about herself.

Oh & did Pan not hear the music??
