anyone know when this starts and who is in the line up?

i think i read that Gareth Gates and Linda Lusardi might be in it but apart from that i dont know anyone else.

it's funny that isn't it - how some people - especially men are better looking at 50 than at 25.

It's the production of this show that's all wrong. I sit watching Strictly and everything about it is lovely...the warm set is perfect for Saturday night feel good. I know the skating has to be set on an ice rink but the whole set looks like a scene on planet krypton....blue, cold, faked...like the set may collapse at any time.

mmm, the bit where they skate out on to the ice always reminds me of the tunnel things in It's a small world at Disneyland !

I knew Sarah greene had been in a helicopter accident about 20 years agom but it says on wikipedia it left her unable to have children

MaryAnnSingleton · 14/01/2008 11:57

I remember the accident, but didn't know that was why they haven't children if it is.

MummyPenguin · 14/01/2008 12:07

I enjoyed this too. I thought Linda and Daniel's dance was lovely. Very romantic. Am v of her as I think Daniel is just gorgeous. Funnily enough, he's not really the type that I normally find attractive, but there's something about him and he has such a lovely bum... I think Suzanne will be quite good, and we were rooting for Gareth. Go Gareth. I had a very unhealthy crush on him when he was on Pop Idol.

Am warming to Linda Lusardi and irritated by Ruthie Henshall's input...

mosschops30 · 21/01/2008 10:32

who went out last night?

Joekate · 21/01/2008 10:35

Don't think Tim's partner was very chuffed with him last night! She was scowling for Britain, the camera kept focusing on her when the results were being read out.

MaryAnnSingleton · 21/01/2008 10:45

Natalie Pinkham,whoever she is

SmartArse · 21/01/2008 10:47

Tim's partner looked like she was sucking lemons. Not a good look and she must surely have been aware that the cameras would be on her?? Odd.

I rather like Tim, though. Go Tim, I say!

Think this will get better as we get to know the contestants.

I thought Suzanne was really brave skating so well when she'd fallen in rehearsal. I think she probably has a will of iron seen as she got through the Hearsay thing.

Chris from Hollyoaks really winds me up. He's so arrogant and doesn't give his partner any credit at all. He irritated me on that duets programme too. Ok, he can skate, but he is an actor. Surely he can put a bit of feeling into it too???

Gareth is great, and I really like Steve Backley for some reason.

bossybritches · 21/01/2008 12:30

Me too bunny -he has a lovley smile!!

I think TIm's partner is a PITA -she looks like she's bored half the time & no hugs or squeezeslike the others do when they finish.I think he's sweet & deserves better-like Christina who's a real doll & got landed with neanderthal man!!

3andnomore · 21/01/2008 17:14

so, who did go out last night....watched the actual programme but not the results show.

Hopefully either agi or that tennisplayer....(whilst I don't like Jason the Judge...he has got a point with the munster thing, lol)

MaryAnnSingleton · 21/01/2008 17:15

it was Natalie...

3andnomore · 21/01/2008 17:20

oh right, thanks!
Hm, there was worse contetants there yesterday....can't really complain about the voting, as I don't vote...but what on earth are people watching and how are they voting, lol...

bossybritches · 21/01/2008 19:28

Popularity again not talent!!

i know Natlaie wasn't that brilliant but she WAS improving-others were worse- Greg Rudeski is TERRIBLE!!

3andnomore · 21/01/2008 21:37

is that that tennis player?

bossybritches · 21/01/2008 21:56

Yes -great arrogant lump he is!!

3andnomore · 21/01/2008 22:00

lol...he ain't a pretty sight is he...bless...makes me laugh with Jason the Judge and his Munsters conncetion...true though...he is the Peter Schmeichel of the ice, rofl

bossybritches · 22/01/2008 08:08

Yes but not as cuddly!! At least Peter S had a sweet smile!! AND he scrubbed up well for the ballroom dances!

Peter & Erin

well no comparison really!!

hotcrossbunny · 22/01/2008 09:17

I feel sorry for poor old Greg. He's no oil painting but he's trying really hard. He was on the pub landlord thing and came across quite well.

I don't get the love of Linda Lusardi. I didn't think she was as good as the girl who went.

MummyPenguin · 22/01/2008 09:47

There's something distinctly slimy about Tim. Know what you mean about his partner. I'm in Gareth's camp (well not literally but you know what I mean.) Also like Suzanne, she's doing well. Go Aggie Go - obviously popular with the viewers.

bossybritches · 22/01/2008 09:59

Aggie is doing really well considering she's one of us oldies!!
