Strictly 2021!

[covetingthepreciousthings]

Couldn't see a thread yet.. maybe it's too early.. but needed to talk to people about Strictly with the news today that Zoe Ball and Ian Waite are leaving ITT!

Will Rylan take over full time? Who will become the resident dance expert?

Also, has anyone else seen the clips of AJ and Curtis on Hollyoaks? I do wonder if he regrets quitting Strictly.. I'm
not sure acting is his forte.

I agree with Walking I'm surprised that Anita said that (sorry I try not to link), I really like her. I thought she was generally unhappy with Gleb; she called him a 'slave driver".

IMO his choreography and he was too much. Blimey she could\can dance. Is there anything she can't do?

Looks like Strictly is dropping Blackpool week again this year..

Hope they drop Hallowe'en Week

Aye.

But if they don’t I’ll settle for them getting rid of the pish spooky vignettes.

👻 🎃 🧟‍♀️ 🧙🏼‍♀️ 🖕🏽

I'd rather they dropped the naff VT bits they do Just show us the practice room footage, not the obviously made up bits.

I will miss the Blackpool week, would be happy to cut down some of the theme weeks as well. The USA has a week where the celebs and the professionals swap partners for a week, that might be fun!

Aye - I like the sound of that!

Are you listening Strictly? We’ll have that and you can shove your vignettes up your cgi.

Thanking you.

Hmmm how come Oti is the most successful pro if the voters are such racists?

Partner swap week would be great but probably won't happen this year with Covid..

I love Halloween week, but I just wish they'd make it less cheesy, and more spooky and stop using the same songs and themes over and over.

I'd rather have Halloween week than Movie or musicals week.

I don’t mind films week - we got the Pulp Fiction hoof from that 😍

I’d maybe accept themes if it wasn’t for the clips and cgi 😖

They do just seem to howk up the same ones all the time. Time for change.

Jimmy Barnes Good Times/Lou Gramm Lost in the Shadows/Ger McMann cry little sister (lost boys) are fabulous tunes for example. They could hoof away to them and I’d be delighted. 🤩

(If they’ve done that and I’ve missed it, I’ll be gutted)

Looking forward to the line up.

It's seemingly been confirmed that it will be a full run this year, so I would think we will get the start of the line up announcement very soon!

Holy moly, just googled one of the new pros - Nikita Guzmin.

Sorry Gorks, there's a new kid in town 😍

Oh no no kittykat - he is nobbut a bairn 😱

He just looks like the vowel thief’s naughty mate who is to be found round the back of the bins with an accommodating partner and a full pack of tabs and some Buckie.

I need someone with at least 20 more years on him

Tony!!

I'm perimenopausal so inappropriate crushes are par for the course.

And Tony Beak.........just no.

AAAAWW Tony Beak not's too bad Bacon at least he has a good figure and a bit of a sense of humour, (whispers ) and he doesn't piddle himself by throwing himself off chairs.

Wait what now😲???

Nowt wrong with da Beak. But he just ain’t for me. I need someone with something menacing about them for the AT or the PD.

Not someone who looks like they could be a little menace

I'm surprised they've dropped Blackpool again what with the BEEB now going into full on 'worship of everything oop North'.

I'm not Northernist btw Me Uncle and Aunt are in Doncs. and great grandad came from Scotland.

They can come to the Beach Ballroom in the toon.

That’ll soothe your Scottish roots ppeat

The dancers will just have to be fleet of foot crossing the Bouley (neds and boy racers)

What is the chair thing? 🤓

I was just comparing Tony Beak's demeanour with the maniacal lunacy of Bruno T. !! Though to be fair he can be quite sweet, in a slightly bitchy way!

I can’t wait for señor Beak to be a judge.

I hope he is fabulous. ☺️

I'm looking forward to it too. I hope he's going to talk about ballroom!

They won’t be able to shut him up if gets started on ballroom!!
And I won’t care!!!

Did you not see him last year Polka and Sheldon ? He was standing in for BTon who was in the States and couldn't get back due to Cov. It wasn't for the whole time obvs. it was after his celeb was removed (I can't remember her name ) if I remember correctly.

Aye - and he was grand

I m hoping with a full time seat that he will be free to say what he wants and to show his knowledge. (Instead of the whoopin and a-hollerin)

I want to hear what he has to say. I feel he will be marvellous ☺️
