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?

Just wondered that myself Maryz I'll find you all !

< following the crowd emoticon>

i haven't watched it for 3 years. I will be watching this year - because of Darcey Bussell.

Last year I think we just ran each thread until it had filled up didn't we? And started a new one if it looked like we'd finish during a show. Much easier I thought than a new one each week!

I'm excited, but have just put in a new television which isn't working so may end up watching on the computer tonight.

and the line up this year is a lot better than the "scraping the barrel" efforts for the last couple.

Jerry will definitely be with Brendan. James Jordan is mine

Can I join in? It's the first year that dance mad dd is old enough not to have to watch it recorded so I'll have great company for a change. She's 8 and soooo excited.

So. Bloody. Excited.

Unfortunately I'm stuck at work to 630 though so will have to watch on record later...

I'm voting to stay here and fill it up because I like to keep MN tidy

Just seen the celeb ad. Sid Owrn looks tiny compared to some of the blokes, didn't think he was short either!

Cant wait!
10 th year for me....
(sad eh?)

I've got Sid Owen marked down for Flavia....she needs a pin size man!

We need Ian Waite back to partner Jerry Hall, only man tall enough surely? Is Brendan that tall? I know he's bigger than say Vincent, but then most of them are!!

Ola is little too isn't she ?

And Queen Aliona is still in, despite the best efforts of most some MNers to have her ditched by saying some not nice things about her, the dahlink......

Ola may be small in height but she's a big girl in other ways!

Hope Aliona gets one of the older ones this year, give someone else the limelight & chance for the Disco Glitter ball !

After three years I still don't understand how she choreographs. Most of the pros I can pick up their 'style', so for instance I'd know if they choreographed a pro dance, but I can watch Aliona's routines and it's like a different person each week!

Although now they're doing so many extra dances, I suppose that might be close to the truth

Marking my place.

I'm mostly interested in Louis Smith, in the young shirt-off-a-lot-eye-candy catergory and Colin Salmond as the maturer ladies totty.

DVO, Girls Aloud one Tracy Beaker will all be great due to their stage school dancing training.

Hello Pan, I see you love for Aliona hasn't diminished

(CaveMum here, btw)

Aliona needs someone rubbish this year, she's had it easy for too long.

The usually give the reigning champ a dud:

Darren got Gloria Huniford after winning with Jill
Karen got Gary Rhodes after winning with Mark
etc

Hi Frankel/CM!

yes after the Christmas special we eloped to an idyl in the South Seas where she immediatley conceived our twins, Paliona and Palionus - she gave birth two weeks ago and they are red/blonde haired and showing great promise already! She remarkably recovered her figure and fitness in order to compete again - I am now a SAHD in our mountain top villa.

I have had a word with the producers and banned her from having Louis..
It's all so unbelievable, isn't it!

Didn't she have Matt baker and then Harry?

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Marking my place too. Nice to see youu, to see youu nice!
