STRICTLY COME DANCING 2023

[magicalkitty]

The first three celebrities will be revealed on The One Show tonight!

I adore Katya. Love how competitive she is. Hope she goes all the way to the final.
She has been punished enough.

This is horrible I know but I really don’t like Nadiya and Kai. I thought he did really well off the back of AJ and I don’t know what happened between them but I get the sense she got hurt. Don’t get me started on how Nadiya acted around Dan Walker either. Nadiya and Kai will probably be pushing themselves as Strictly’s golden couple but together they remind me of Barry and Yvonne from Hi-Di-Hi. I can’t bear them.

We are allowed to dislike whom we want!
There are quite a few of the current pros I dislike. I think the standard has gone down a bit plus all the CGI and stupid theme weeks don't hemp.

Oh no.I love Nadya and Kai and now all I'll see is Barry and Yvonne 😂

I’m so sorry @Mrsjayy 😂

Tbf Kai does have a bit of Barry about him 😃

Kai's teeth only being whitened in the middle is just so distracting when he talks.

Didn’t he get the rest of his teeth whitened after he finished his first series of Strictly. It was an interesting look, to say the least.

I find if you watch the Dancing with the stars group numbers you do think "wow, quite a few of the Strictly pros wouldn't be up to that standard of dance".

I think he got them free or part of an advertising thing. He was "ating" a dental clinic on a post i read.

I’m not a dancing expert but I can see that some of the pros are not as good as others.

The standard of pro has definitely dropped over the years. Don’t get me wrong, they’re all amazing dancers in their own right but none of them are top class ballroom/Latin champion material.

I remember my old dance teacher telling me that Kevin Clifton went to the West End because once he was out of Junior competition he just wasn’t good enough to keep up at the top level.

Neil has the most dance titles to his name I think, he must be up there with the best with 45 dance championship titles including 4 times world Latin show dance champion according to his wiki.

It’s crazy that Neil has so many awards and barely ever gets a partner.

I don't think he is a very good teacher. Teaching and dancing two different things. Also he gurns too much.( So does Johannes, to be fair)

He’s also probably the least attractive of all the male pros. I know, I know, looks are subjective, but Katya was several leagues above him in that regard. I love her, she’s a fantastic choreographer and dancer.

Flavia was probably my all-time favourite pro.

I'd really like him to be given a ringer.

Who's the nearest to a female ringer this year?

Although I would love Neil and Layton now, just to see forums implode/so I can get my popcorn out!

I agree, the Alex Scott partnership improved when Kevin stepped in for Neil.

I have also seen Dianne dance with Burn the floor and she is magical but she seems to plateau with her partners and not take them further esp with Tyler last year.

Nah, Ty suffered from Curse of the Wigs!

Angela Scanlon competed in the Irish Dancing world when she was younger and was part of an Irish dance group that performed across the world, so could be near to a ringer? But I don't think she's done any other dance training etc.

No, it was the week before that she made a sudden improvement, with the Charleston.
The Kevin week 1 was good, but it stood out partly because she almost carried him through the dance. Her confidence had already picked up by then.
They seemed to have more fun than A and Neil, though

I bloody loved Ghostbusters. Kev was amazing learning that in 3/4 hour.
When he looks across to Alex and the couple of times he improvises, my heart melts. Girl done good. You're right, she led that. Even Shirl said at the time, Alex yelled at him to jump in the right place, bless her. He was fab though and their AS was great.
DWTS always has a Switch up (switch partners week). I'd love to be able to vote for that one week or choose the dance or song for the couple.

Return date confirmed - 23rd September
