Strictly fans over here!!

[FamiliesShareGerms]

who do we think will be the early favourites? Who will get to the grand finale? Who will turn most orange?

It's starting now and I am very excited...!

People need to stop looking at Pasha, ok? You can have Artem..he's all yours.

I still think Pasha looked best in the first series, before he had that stupid haircut.

You can't even see Artem past the gleam off his gnashers any more.

You can all have Artem & Pasha.. I'm ALL about Brendan Cole..the way he said "that was PHENOMENAL" in Sophie's ear after their dance?

If Artem's busy, pasha would be a more than adequate substitute. I love Robin too but I think I might have my work cut out there.

Kevin is quite cute in a sweet way. Artem's teeth put me off him last year. BBC1 picture still on the blink and engineer cannot come until Tuesday. Think I need a new TV and in HD. I did buy it in 1998.
I can see the training bits but they all act stupid and dance badly on purpose so we are impressed on the night.

Strictly Part 2...

Evening all.

Ooh Kelly Hoppen in the audience. I liked her but Mn told me I shouldn't.

Ooh, Tess has come dressed as a fig.

That opener was deadly :-)

See Tess has worn a looser skirt tonight so she can get her leg up high enough for Sir Bruce to grab it. It I were her I would be wearing a hobble skirt every week - the thought of Sir Bruce grabbing my leg - urghhhh!!

I want to be able to wear Chalky's partner's dress - it is lovely.

Hi-de-hi!

DH is cooking while I watch the show. This is good (and sounds lovely, cod in a chikpea tomato sauce thing), BUT

he's complaining that

the garlic we have is a jar of minced stuff, rather than actual bulb of cloves, and
the tinned tomatoes aren't "chopped".

Plus he's ignoring my advice to run a tap while he chops the onions, so his eyes are streaming.
He takes recipes very literally.

How old is Deborah? She looks like she feels very out of place

Ohhhhh no, Dave - do your shirt up!

Haha we said Dave put it away lol

Tess needs to join MN and get on the bra threads.

He seems ok katatonic, but will have a google. What's his name again?

Married with twin daughters
Gay icon
Clinically deaf

Brief summary.

I am gutted - Ben Cohen is pants at dancing.

I think Ben has perfected the art of standing still
