About a month to go before it starts, and they've released the name of the first celeb.

Jeremy Vine

Is it just me, or is Tristran not that great a dancer? I've never had a spine-tingle watching him dance. It's not that he has obvious faults he just doesn't have presence or something.

I missed Aljaz, which is a great pity. I also missed the orange one, so swings and roundabouts. Grin

CheBoludo · 26/09/2015 20:22

Just settling down to watch it now. I'm bemused by all the Gleb love, too - he's hot, but not in the same league as Artem, Alijaz or Tristem for me.
Speaking of Tristem, why has he got another no hoper? Jamelia is really unpopular, no? So, unless she is spectacularly good, she'll be an early-ish boot.
Oh, and the hottest new contestant is undoubtedly Oti. Possibly the most beautiful woman with the best body to have ever graced the Strictly stage.

BlackAmerican - I read of Digital spy that when Tristan was on DWTS, he filled the 'Anton' role.

He's lush though.

ThoseAwfulCurtains · 26/09/2015 20:32

Well since I don't know anything about Peter Andre and no one's said anything specifically awful, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, it's not as if he's been getting friendly with a pig or being coy about his reasons for not singing a song Grin

CheBoludo · 26/09/2015 20:34

BlackAmericano I was typing while you posted. He may well be a bad dancer, I'm usually too busy looking at his gorgeous face to notice Blush
Judging by the previous posts, Katie Derham was good. Is this an attempt to get Anton to the final so that he can replace Len next year, as a finalist/reigning champ? conspiracy face

InimitableJeeves · 26/09/2015 20:38

That many gimmicks in the first 30secs is a dead giveaway!

Always the sign of a professional trying to distract from how useless his/her partner is. Likewise when they spend a large chunk of the dance with the sleb standing looking decorative while the pro goes ape dancing round them. I reckon Anton's been passing the technique on to Pasha.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 26/09/2015 20:38

I'm also missing the 'gorgeous' thing with Tristan. He's sort of bland good-looking.

2rebecca · 26/09/2015 20:47

I thought you had to be famous to go on Loose Women but they say Jamelia is just famous for being on it. Can I go on it and get famous for doing f all? I have some "loose" credentials I could tell on TV if paid enough money.
PA irritated me, but mainly for the back to front baseball caps. They looked naff on teenagers in the 80s when they were fashionable. Middle aged men wearing them in 2015 just look sad and silly.

Sparklingbrook · 26/09/2015 21:00

Jamelia is now famous for saying really dim things on Loose Women. Remember all the stuff about shops shouldn't be able to sell plus size clothes? Hmm

Behooven · 26/09/2015 21:25

I'm just catching up with the thread. Really enjoyed both nights, Jeremy and Ainsley were giving it laldy and big Jay is a sweetie. I'm not warming to that Jamelia woman though. I can't be bothered with the whole "ooh ooh im so giggly" shambles.
What was Claudias comment about keeping her fringe?

Lambzig · 26/09/2015 21:33

Oh my goodness, this has ruined Jeremy Vine for me.

I did not get how Katie's jive was marked lower than Georgia's.

I don't understand the Peter Andre hate here, but obviously don't know the backstory, but I don't like the way he was obviously positioned as the last and best dancer, I don't like the manipulation. Opener next week?

wowfudge · 26/09/2015 22:25

I love Strictly. Darcy was hilarious when she was in hysterics after Jezza's performance; she still hadn't pulled herself together by the time she had to give her verdict.

Why are people so anti the Orange One? I mean, he's a shameless-self-publicist, and I'd never buy his music, but he's not offensive. He was also pretty a good dancer.

2rebecca · 26/09/2015 23:05

I think the most beautiful woman on strictly is Anita. Not sure if she has any dancing experience but I thought she was lovely to watch. All the female pros seem really tiny. They could do with having more tall or even average size women so the tall men don't have to stoop, although tall women are often discouraged from doing professional dancing because they can't be chucked about as easily.

ppeatfruit · 27/09/2015 10:23

Which 'orange one'? They're nearly all effing orange, I was wondering when they might be calming down with the fake tans fgs What did anyone think about Tess's 'work' on her eyes? I liked their dresses yesterday but on Friday Claud's looked strange with the 'white bits' hanging over the top.

Mindysgotswag · 27/09/2015 10:28

Wasn't too keen on Tess's red "zig-zag" neckline dress either!

Are we talking Peter Andre as the "orange one"?

I'm all for Alijaz winning. He's a fantastic ...ahem...dancer Blush

ppeatfruit · 27/09/2015 10:39

I thought the general standard of the contestants was good. There were no truly bad ones. Though the music they were choosing for all the cha chas was awful. What's wrong with a few traditional songs?

Mrsjayy · 27/09/2015 10:40

We watched both last night i love jay he is cute as a button Jeremy and Ainsley are going to be fun D oD is creepy his chubby cheeks and tiny smile . I fwd a few jamelia and Kirsty and Iwan they are just dull. And i quite like peter Andre

ppeatfruit · 27/09/2015 10:43

Peter Andre is almost too good at dancing Grin There's not going to be a 'journey' is there? Mrsjayy Grin

Mindysgotswag · 27/09/2015 10:44

God love him Anton stands a real chance this year! Bless him, he was absolutely beside himself last night. He deserves it this year!

How bloody good was Georgia, Katie and Helen!? Amazing talent this year...

And Jay [bless him] looked like he'd lost his mummy!

Mrsjayy · 27/09/2015 10:49

Yeah no Journey mark wright bless him had a journey P A will have to go on the emotional Rollercoaster instead Grin. Meant to say Helen George has fallen out of Brief encounter she is vair vair posh I do like her though

Mrsjayy · 27/09/2015 10:51

I dont mind carol the weather lady being rubbish means pasha can sashay more he has lovely hip movements

ppeatfruit · 27/09/2015 10:54

I preferred Helen George's hair style in Call The Midwife though! Long straight with a fringe doesn't suit her IMO.

Mindysgotswag · 27/09/2015 10:56

Pascha's hips are mine, Mrs Jayy

Goes without saying..Blush

Mrsjayy · 27/09/2015 11:36

Kinda scared mindy I promise im just looking Grin

Mindysgotswag · 27/09/2015 11:41

You can have Kevin Mrs... Pascha and Aljiaz are mine!

[Mwahahaha!]
