Unlike Karim (& Tom) Rhys isn’t stage school trained.

derxa · 18/09/2021 21:47

I like them all

Bejazzled · 18/09/2021 21:49

@derxa

I like them all
Whatever the new series brings, it’s the most uplifting show on tv.

Is he not? I'm surprised, he definitely has that vibe.

Blankspace4 · 18/09/2021 21:52

Fair enough, I was probably unnecessarily acerbic. I’ve harboured a dislike for her since I’m a Celeb but don’t wish her harm. Probably am projecting 🙈 at the overly Mum identity. Fired from the hip and sorry for offence caused

I like the goodness gracious me lady and I think Adam Peaty will do well.

Overall a good set of contestants and in love with the costumes already

Poshjock · 18/09/2021 21:56

I wonder what ridiculous cartoon outfit Rob Webb will have to wear? That’s clearly why he’s with Dianne right?

Ellmau · 18/09/2021 21:57

Judi and Graziano the first out. Robert and Dianne look likely to annoy me. Sara, Dan and Ugo probably early departures too, and probably Greg too.

Strong Karim vibes from Reece, but I loved Karim, so...

Katie looked quite good, I thought? AJ and Tom probably contenders. John looks like he might work hard.

Comefromaway · 18/09/2021 21:58

Tom was at Sylvia Young, Karim I think was at Italia Conti.

Rhys on the other hand went to a state secondary school and did National Youth Theatre which is usually straight acting whereas the others did musical theatre.

Yes, I've really missed it. Even though we like to bitch about the changes and the dumbing down, it's a joy to watch. I'm so glad it's back on.

Poshjock · 18/09/2021 22:00

Amy is a right family lass, I imagine she’ll be best friends with Giovanna and cooing over their kids in no time (and I mean that kindly if I was Amy I’d be the very same)

derxa · 18/09/2021 22:01

I feel sorry for the first out. They've all got rhythm

TheSpottedZebra · 18/09/2021 22:03

Greg will do ballroom and we shall all swoon.

Aquarius1234 · 18/09/2021 22:05

I like Judi shes funny.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 18/09/2021 22:05

John the baker has filled out.

I think JJ will be fabulous.

bibliomania · 18/09/2021 22:07

I thought it was a good opener and an looking forward to them all.

MidgeKiller1 · 18/09/2021 22:08

I like most of them this year, love Strictly and glad it’s back 🕺

bizzey · 18/09/2021 22:10

Love these threads,. But just can never catch up on them in real time while watching !
I always seem to end up watching on pause/delay/ rewind !
( Pesky DC's interrupting my watching)

So are there any ringers this year ?

bizzey · 18/09/2021 22:12

I like J and J together...but I did think Johannes and AJ would have made a stunning couple.

SunSeaSurfGin · 18/09/2021 22:14

Nikita & Tilly will be romantically involved

You can tell Amy was a big McFly fan

PamDenick · 18/09/2021 22:16

The two men look like they’re going to get on really well...

How are they going to get the floatiness of a waltz?

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 18/09/2021 22:25

If Quiffy goes anywhere near Tilly other than in a dancey stylee, papaRamsay will have baws en papillote on the menu before you can say kitchen nightmares.

Fenelladepompom · 18/09/2021 22:25

I reckon they'll be more floaty than Nicola and Katya.

Maireas · 18/09/2021 22:25

I really like John and Johannes. Both such lovely men. I think Giovanni is a good match for Rose because (in spite of his image) he's a really caring man. He was lovely with Ranvir last year. Greg Wise I'm not sure about.
Bloomin love AJ. She's hilarious.

ChoccyJules · 18/09/2021 22:29

Reece stood out in the group dance so he might be one to watch.

I wanted to like Greg but he annoyed me, which is annoying Confused

Loved AJ, never heard of her but she’s got a fab character.

I never call it correctly so am not going to guess the finalists just yet!

Too true, my friend. Nikita probably knows nothing about her and papa. I suspect she won't last long, though.
