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?

I'd like to see Victoria with a soft hairstyle, rather than the Croyden facelift she tends to wear. Needs to get out of the sport mindset.

I heard the music, Bossy!

Well, I've never watched it before, but will be as they line-up seems fantastic this year. Don't know what all the rest of you are talking about as I don't know the professional dancers, but the celebrities seem great. Didn't realise you have to wait three weeks until the first actual proper dance . Louis the gymnast looks like he can move.

Oh you're all Pro Strictly Watchers.

I'm just gonna run and out again like an amateur going:

Louis
Colin
Michael

That's all.

Why do all the pro dancers look like drag queens though? Only Flavia looks vaguely normal.

And really it IS time for Bruce and Tess to call it a day. Two people LESS suited to TV presenting I cannot imagine.

Totally agree Wilf! They make my skin crawl. Esp Tess, so fake!

Well, Denise is already annoying the shit out of me. Jury out on VP. Nicky Byrne is fi-ine!

Oh yes, Bruce and Tess can GTF.

Marvellous Pan....good to see all the usual suspects are here plus of course anybody else who cares to join in our inane ramblings the pithy observations & comments.

Me too Lorelilee. DH says why is she doing the show? He thinks she wouldn't need the money, and she already knows how to dance.

Wilf I agree with you about the pro-dancers - they always look so weird dancing in high heels with their backsides stuck out! but I prefer ballet

I also thought the final dance looked ok compared to some of rhe others. Maybe clever choreography or perhaps a good bunch?

Mmm Louis. So wrong, yet so right. Kind of loves himself, but if i was him I would too

Louis looked like lamb to the slaughter - not a clue what to make of it all. Am sure Flavia will......sort him out.

Had forgotten that, Pan, Tut tut

My first thought when Flavia got Louis...Jimi will be like hell! Poor Louis.....could be a lamb to the slaughter

Have a funny feeling Flavia will be on Louis like a dalek on a dustbin.

I cheered like a loon for VP in the Lympics. I can't quite work out why she is leaving me cold now she is off her bike.

Strictly back on next Saturday or tomorrow?

Bet Jimi will be in the audience every week!

October 5th I think sole

Strictly not back till Friday 5th October.

Are Flavia and Jimi still together? I though they'd split up.

Oooh! 3 weeks. Thank ypu for answering both :)

I think Louis might be my fave this year.

Forsyth and Daley - fuck the fuck off, you are both awful

I looooooove SCD, it signals the advent of autumn for me :-)

My weekend is complete for the autumn- SCD & Downton with the occasional peek at X-factor.

I'm on Team Louis too

Cannot stand Forsyth, Daley and Denise Van Tits Outen

Also think it's time for Anton to give it a day. And, dare I say it, Erin.

Anton getting the comedy scary old bird - YAWN

god, yeah... i do wish Erin would go. she absolutely MUST be there because her contract is tied to Anton's.
