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

Jeremy Vine

Watching Ainsley's tango last week DP said 'if a toad were to tango, that's how I'd imagine he'd do it'.

It made me laugh out loud at the time and this week all I could see was a dancing toad. I think it's the hunched shoulders and long legs.

Early faves for me are Jay and Anita. I also enjoyed Anton & Katie.

Iwan is terrible, Kirsty seems like she should be better and Peter is too polished and confident that he's got nowhere to go. Everyone knows you have to have a 'journey' on these shows.

Yes emotion I do wish they'd stop faffing about at the beginning and get on with it YYYYY

Even if they can dance they are doing that WHY????

Mindysgotswag · 04/10/2015 09:48

Agree with you chipstick. Jay is becoming one of my favourites and think that he'll do well in the comp.

I have to say...didn't really notice Helen dancing - way too mesmerised by Alijaz!Blush

He's the winner as far as I'm concerned!Wink

MoonriseKingdom · 04/10/2015 11:56

Alijaz as a mechanic - cor blimey! Grin

On the dancing front I really enjoyed Anita and Katie. Also Georgia and Giovanni are growing on me. I admire the amount of effort Jeremy Vine is putting in even if the results are rather amusing.

I won't be sorry if either Ewan or Carol go this week (or Jamelia but that would probably be a bit unfair).

Pandora97 · 04/10/2015 12:06

Really can't stand Iwan - he's so unlikeable and that shirt ripping was just desperate. The song choice was dreadful, the choreography was dreadful. Awful. I don't like Ola much either so I hope they're first out.

Poor Brendan, it's becoming a pattern for him now of getting beautiful, athletic women who he thinks are going to be great (Michelle Williams, Victoria Pendleton and now Kirsty) and they're....not. Didn't like Kirsty's dance, the lifts were good but I was cringing at the beginning when she was trying to look sexy and making pouty faces at the camera. She looked so self conscious, you could see she was thinking "I must look sexy, I must look sexy" but she looked really awkward. Plus she just seemed to be wafting her dress most of the time. Anita is able to act much more naturally. I thought her charleston was great but I'm looking forward to seeing how she copes in ballroom.

I do like Jay, his little face beaming when he received good comments was so sweet.

Haha about Ainsley looking like a dancing toad purple, he really does. Grin Loved his salsa, but I love Natalie and I love Josephine Baker so it was a given. It was a lot of fun.

Behooven · 04/10/2015 12:10

My favourites are Jay and the beautiful Katie. I hope Jamelia or anyone from a soap go out early doors but know that won't happen

InimitableJeeves · 04/10/2015 13:46

You could tell Ola knew Iwan was in trouble, she doesn't usually bring out the cutaway minuscule leotard till later in the series.

Mindysgotswag · 04/10/2015 15:19

Iwan is a lousy dancer. Keeps on trying to sell himself on his muscular chest and tattoos...

Not working...get off!Angry

BBQsAreSooooOverrated · 04/10/2015 15:34

I thought kirsty would be better for some reason.
Aliaz. Hes rather lovely. Loved the dungarees Blush
Iwans shirt rip was cringey.

ppeatfruit · 04/10/2015 15:41

Agree about Iwan Mindy sweaty tatts!! yeuch yeuch Shock

Jay is such a lovely sensitive dancer and gorgeous too Grin

Carol is sort of Judy Murray who moves a bit more but she's soo terrified, I don't blame but why put yourself through it?

pklme · 04/10/2015 16:47

Jay, Jay, Jay....
I don't usually get very involved at the start, but he was fab! Yypeatfruit, sensitive.
And Ainsley as a toad, YYYY wind in the willows ballet!

digerd · 04/10/2015 17:46

Len has mentioned heel leads just a few times but don't think the viewers care about that and Len knows it.

Jay is a big surprise as can't remember being impressed with him in the group dance. Have thought he was a sweet boy though and his walz was enchanting. Loved the way he emersed himself into the romantic role from beginning to the end.

wherewillitallend · 04/10/2015 18:43

I can see Katie Derham and Anton getting to the final against Peter and Janette and actually winning in the same way that people bought the Rage Against the Machine single in order to topple the X factor winners.

CocktailQueen · 04/10/2015 18:55

Alijaz - gorgeous! Liked Helen (didn't know she'd danced before), Jay, and I couldn't help liking Ainsley. He really performs a dance. Like Anton too.

Dance off? I think Jeremy and Carol.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 04/10/2015 19:06

I think Iwan should be taking a long hard look at himself. In a group that also contains Orange Pete, Jamelia and Ainsley Harriot, being the most irritating person is seriously bad news. I hope he goes this week.

Redcrayons · 04/10/2015 19:19

I so want it to be the Orange twat, but I think Iwan or Jeremy will go.

Redcrayons · 04/10/2015 19:28

Jay is this years Simon from Blue.

Redcrayons · 04/10/2015 19:34

I want Karen's too for Christmas day!

emotionsecho · 04/10/2015 19:35

I'm scheming to transplant my body with Darcey's.

Who is going to be in the dance off with Iwan?

Redcrayons · 04/10/2015 19:41

'I've done ballet'. Grin.

Alijaz in slow motion......

2rebecca · 04/10/2015 19:41

Hope not Anton. He is weirdly creepy but I want him to do well due to him usually getting a bum deal

Redcrayons · 04/10/2015 19:42

Kirsty or Jamelia maybe?

2rebecca · 04/10/2015 19:43

I Don't get the Alijaz thing. I find him creepy too. I fancy Darcy more than any of the blokes and I'm straight

emotionsecho · 04/10/2015 19:43

I would like it to be Jamelia but I think she'll get through.

MelanieCheeks · 04/10/2015 19:43

Jamelia, if there's any justice!
