Strictly 2025 : The Glitterball Returns. Week One. No Vote Off. 18.55 PM

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Hi Everyone!

Started this slightly early as I have some distractions nearer the time.

The general consensus was for a Weekly Thread so please move across to this shiny new one.

Thanks

Glad Katya’s got someone good, I love her

Giving Sam Ryder ‘golden retriever’ energy I think. I’m going to enjoy watching him for sure.

Katya could take this year I think.

Ross King - blast from the past....

Will he be fab or floppy?

yes he is this years 'ringer'

He was before Amber stepped in.

I like Ross! He is an 80s throwback sort

But less likeable, I think. Bobby had the energy of a young puppy!

Is it just me? Ross is giving me Barry Manilow vibes

Ross will be early doors, calling it now!

Go on ross 🥰

The ringers are fun to watch but I don’t want to see a ringer win. That’s crap.

I like Ross, and he's such a soppy twat, crying all the time. I feel a kinship.

I agree with Shirley for a change. They didn't need all the tricks in week 1. The flicks I thought were messy.

Also, what is wrong with Katya being delighted with her partner? At least 2 of her partners had to withdraw, most of them have been duffers too, the Wynne drama etc.
So yes, Kat has got the cream!

This years ‘ Jeremy vine’ ! although he seems nice

I like Jowita's Quality Street dress

Ross looks a bit like Liberace (one for the oldies).

Have to agree with Shirley that the choreography was a bit too much, and it meant he couldn’t focus on the correct technique which he is obv capable of.

I don’t mind there being two ringers, as they are interesting to watch. I’d prefer it if they didn’t win, though.

Hard agree.

In the name of the wee man 🙈

Is Ross gonna move from the spot?

HE’S JUST WALKING!

They're queuing up for first out this year

Jowita is working hard here.

And now he’s got a fur coat like Liberace
