Strictly Come Dancing

[ChorusLine]

I am so looking forward to this years show! Anyone else? I know its not everyone's cup of tea but I so look forwrad to seeing the outfits as well!

I have heard that the following are on it:

Letitia Dean
Willie Thorn
Kelly Brook (supposedly with Brendan Cole)
Alesha Dixon
Kenny & Gaby Logan
Penny Lancaster
Gethin Jones
Kate Garroway
John Barnes
Stephanie Beacham
Dominic Littlewood

No way is she the best looking, Lilia is the prettiest, with Flavia second but that six pack still makes me feel a little ill.

I agree that Lillia is the prettiest. She doesn't look as painfully thin as some of the others. Camilla is so thin that it makes me wonder how she keeps going!
But, then again, if it was about swapping bodies then I wouldn't say no to any of them

i didnt think that kelly and brendon were that good this wk, I hated the way the judges fawned all over them despite the mistakes and stupid play-acting.
I think alesha is amazing, plus she really enjoys it and it shows.
Kate seems to be unable to hold her head up straight or she just does the simpering look far too well.

I agree that, this week, Alesha was much better than Kelly.
The judges seem to get a favourite every time. What has happened in the past, tho, it that they don't all go for the same one so it balances out better.
I think that it is too early to tell how they are going to cope. Look at Penny - she was fantasic in the quick-step but didn't cope nearly so well with the jive. I wonder if Kelly and/or Alesha might have the opposite problem; really good at the latin but not able to get the gracefulness of the waltz, foxtrot etc. Time will tell ...

I was thinking that Tiger that Alesha may not get the gracefulness of the ballroom. Kelly i just feel is quite average, I think she will get it all but wont be spectacular or anything. I think Gaby is fab tho and I reckon she will manage all of them.

I agree about Gabby. I always think that the presenter-types have a harder job to do as they are not natural showmen, like the actors, nor are they necessarily good with music, like the singers and they don't have the fitness levels of the sportspeople. That said, the sportspeople are mostly retired so they are in a similar boat.
Gabby apparently did rhythmic gymnastics as a child/teenager which explains a lot about Saturday night's routine. I hope that she does continue to do very well and gives Kelly and Alesha a run for their money - it is not a 2 horse race by any means!

Also, remember that Natasha Kaplinski and Darren Gough were both terrible at the start and went on to win so ... you never know!

she didn't just do "rhythmic gymnastics as a child/teenager" she represented Wales at the Commonwealth Games

I agree that Kelly is just average, but the judges LOVE her.

It was the same with Emma Bunton last year -she wasn't brilliant, but the judges couldn't praise her enough. They overmarked every dance she did.

Looks like they'll be doing the same this year. Very annoying.

Mark them on their ability - not their star quality please!!!

Erm, since when did Kelly Brook have star quality???

Ooh Nomcebroomstick - I didn't realise she did it to such a high level! That would definately be a bonus I'd say. It might also explain her competitiveness.

Clearly that's NomDeBroomstick ... darn keys are too close together

Does anyone know what the other dance is this week... I know some people are doing the samba.

MM - I think its the American Smooth. Bring on the Paso

Oh I love the paso... my fave dance of all. Altho would be better to leave it till later so they can all do it justice.

Looking forward to tomorrow night so just bumping.

Really hope this isn't true!!

The point is that it should be the audence who decide and how the audience decide, whether it be performance or popularity surely that is up to the audience. I actually dont think there should be a dance off at all and we should gte final say.

If it was Joe Bloggs r whatever who was hoping to make somethingout of it then perhaps but at the end of the day it is for charity and the people who vote for Kate are contributing their pennies.

Seems a little silly to create such a fuss.

I agree that it is all supposed to be a bit of fun. And that it is for charity so they need people to phone in and vote - if they make it totally down to the judges then there is no point in doing it at all!

I do, however, think that it is a lot more of a popularity contest than a dancing competition - in the early stages at least - which is not the point.

That said, I do not agree with Arlene, if she did say what is being reported.

I think Flavia is beautiful too! Completely

kelly's dress is very shiny...

hasn't she got big feet?

Brendan put in 3 lifts!
Why does he have to break the rules??

And Bruno is annoying me the way he is fawning over Kelly.

Really cross with Bruno!!
How can he give them a 10 when they broke the rules??

I thought Alesha was far better than Kelly, really light on her feet. They are just mesmerised by Kelly's tits.

I do think Anton du wotsit is raather a nice gent though, even though Kate is a gurning freak.

grrrr...might as well just let kelly win, and stop the charade...

i thought alesha was good, too
