Strictly 2022 Thread 2 - Who's your favourite...

[xsquared]

Hello folks,
Last one filled up and I was surprised another hadn't been started for a while.

First thoughts:
I like this year's cohort and I recognise a few faces.

• Jayde reminds me of Dawn French. Wasn't expecting her to be paired with Karen.

• Carlos and Vito will be interesting to watch in their debut. Molly went to Sylvia Young Theatre, so she could be a ringer.

• I've seen Jowita in The Greatest Dancer and she was phenomenal. Hamza looks like he'll be good fun.

• Luba looked amazing during John Legend's performance and it's a shame that neither her celebs went very far. Maybe she's better suited to dancing in the background.

• When Helen Skelton mentioned needing someone who could understand a northern accent, I immediately guessed it was Gorka.

• Ellie and Johannes look good together. She's absolutely delighted with him, and I hope we get to watch them for a good while.

• Matt Goss seems rather subdued, but I think he'll have a good work ethic and deliver a good performance.

Poor Katya

That wiki entry is mean but funny

They missed off 'baffled'

Yes, it must be hard going on his back

Omg Tony! Bless him, at least he's giving it a go. I missed them telling me what dance it was and can't work it out!

Oh jeez am crying with laughter that was dreadful

Finally!! My Dave Arch wave 👋

Blimey. I think that was literally as bad as Quentin Wilson.

I googled, Nikita is 5’9” and Gorks is 5’6”. Couldn’t find heights for the new guys but I’ll guess they’re taller than Gorks.

Go ing home I think
Soon

That was shades of James Cracknell!!!

He is far too tall for her. Love that we can see her shouting though. 😂

I am cringing so hard my bum has welded together.

Creasing ourselves here 🤣🤣

Those red costumes are dreadful

Kaye seems to have cheered up

His Willy is very visible in those trousers 😳

Nikita is 5.9?/ 1.75m
Ellie is 4 ft/ 1.23m
Even with heels, that is going to be more of a challenge than with Cam or Gorks.
Jowita is 5.3?/1.60cm
Not that it matters, Ellie will stay in longer than the likes of Tony or Kaye.
Tony is officially worst of the night and as he is so tall. should have had Luba.

Presuming Gorka probably got paired with Helen because they're both based in the north I think.

Love Tony

It certainly rivalled it.

Tony needs men Spanx

The three of them standing there look like an haemorrhage.

God that was dreadful

Finally someone that Katya can’t or won’t hopefully snog!
