Is there a Strictly 2018 thread yet?

[xsquared]

Lots of rumours of who is going to be on but none confirmed as far as I know.

Charles is a bit, em, sleazy

Oti deserves a better partner.

And I would do bad, bad, bad things to Jacob. Karen better keep her mitts off him (I would have been prepared to share him with Oti, because she's fabulous and deserves everything good).

I want to like Karen. I want to like Kevin. But there's just something strange. Cant put my finger on it

Yes I thought so too Hepzibar I suspect he won’t be quite the full Raprakash but you never know

High hopes for Oti and Graeme

Get lost with the football references. Not relevant or interesting.

I think the Casualty actor and Karen will do well.

Hmm you can see the ones with no rhythm hiding at the back

Sorry Charles not Jacob!

And onto the group dance....

whiskey i feel the same. Didn’t like joanne either

Is there a BBC ban on putting dark skinned dancers together? Given the racial mix of dancers and celebs it seems odd they never put nonwhite dancers together (that I remember anyway). Reckon Oti would have been better with casualty guy

Ok Charles and Ashley in the final

Had to pause it while DD goes to the look, grrr.

Did I miss Neil getting a partner. I thought he was a pro this year?

Susannah is looking a bit pedestrian already!!

Why is everyone so obsessed with Neil???? 🙄 🙄

Oh dear Susannah

I think it might take some more than two...

2rebecca - I thought the same. Oti and Casualty actor would have been great.

Hmm..think Charles really wanted Oti (and not just to dance with)

Oti and Charles cuddling up together!! 😂 😂

I have to say there was no one who was utterly awful. A few of them were quite stiff but I’m pleasantly surprised.

It is like they purposefully didn't put the 2 black people together.

Susanne barely got her leg up!
