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.

He’s on CBBS Shirley

Not a scooby who he is, but he's a sweetheart

Watching with DD and DS, one of them diagnosed with EDS and the other going through the process. Inherited from DH. We cheered her on too!

Anyone know how tall Hamza is?

Was it Jay who they made get his hair cut off? Can't remember if it was strictly powers or Aliona.. or maybe I'm imagining it!

Well he was just lovely. Brilliant control - of his feet and his hair. Loved that.

Ooh Hamza can dance!

I think he should be able to do some great Latin.

We are big Animal Park (Longleat) fans and know him from that! He is really lovely genuine person 🥰

Sorry but- all of you saying “ who is she/he?”

are you watching the vt intro where they tell you who she or he is?

He’s going to have to watch his hair in the Viennese, she’s going to end up like a fly in a web

Is there just Fleur left now?

I liked him a lot. What a nice man.

Surprised he doesn't tie it up.

What a lovely man he is.

Very pleased for Jowita, who's had to wait a while for a partner and was suspected to have drawn the short straw.

Hamza is a force to be reckoned with

Oh stop, I'm not crying YOUR crying

Why is hamza dressed like a my little pony, distracting.

Fleur could be very good

I guess he didn't need to tie it up in that dance

Very overmarked!!

They have possibly saved the best for last - Fleur is probably a ringa but I love her and don't care! 😄

I think he's in pink because he said he wanted to be like the greater flamingo.

I love a man in pink.
