:dance2:

Scott Mills hosting the strictly podcast :D

Soooo excited even though i found out the couples already

Come on FAYE

:love:

same, more also when we see the pairings being revealed, we immediately get to see who has a lot of Chemistry and who don't


i'm curious how they will introduce Joe Sugg to us, YouTube videos in his VT :fan:

Graziano :lovedup:

2 italian pro dancers now Giovanni and Graziano :love:

here for katya, oti, kev and aljaz
and ashley roberts

i'm here for Amy, AJ, Oti

and from celebs Danny John Jules, Susannah Constantine, Graeme Swann, Dr Ranj

:dance2: :dance2:

1 hour and 27 minutes till the launch show begins

AJ backstage :) so he has started a YouTube channel now, probably he will do this for every show

What a boring farce

no one talking about this :skull:


my fave pairings are Susannah & Anton (TeamSusanton) Danny & Amy, Graeme & Oti

my dad's fave pairings are Lauren & AJ, Kate & Aljaz, Lee & Nadiya



i quite liked the introduction of new pro dancers to Havana :dance2:


also nice guest performance from Nile the legend Rodgers :clap1:

There isnt much to talk about yet nicky

This would be my rankings 1 being favourite 15 being least favourite

15 Charles and Karen
14 Lee and Nadiya
13 Danny and Amy
12 Susannah and Anton
11 Seann and Katya
10 Stacey and Kevin
9 Dr Ranj and Janette
8 Lauren and AJ
7 Vick and Graziano
6 Graeme and Oti
5 Joe and Dianne
4 Katie and Gorka
3 Faye and Giovanni
2 Kate and Alijaz
1 Ashley and Pasha

Although all of them seem a great bunch but charles seemed really creepy and Lee is a douchebag so they are my bottom 2

i find Seann a bit creeping me out with his try hard comedy :facepalm: that might irritate the viewers putting them off him potentially i think

Mods can we pick our strictly favourite on our profile yet?

i think that will be possible one week before the first show, not sure though


next week we get strictly the best of, with past contestants talking about the strictly experience :love: also a fun special i think

The way they jump when they get their partners is so fake

some it's real Chemistry, but some is fake yeah


i liked how calm Susannah was, so normal :clap2:

first out i predict Lauren & AJ, same reason as Iwan was first out, not enough time for training hours, due to work commitments woops :joker:

about this, i hope not of course, and i think AJ is a good teacher for her, and Lauren is a good challenge for him


it will be a challenge to adjust with the in hold dancing, in terms of the handicap i guess, but doable i think


and she had said it is also possible to combine competitions and strictly, so yeah i hope she can be a journey contestant like Jonnie was last year

15 Kate and Aliaz
14 Katie and Gorka
13 Graeme and Oti
12 Lauren and AJ
11 Vick and Graziano
10 Danny and Amy
9 Seann and Katya
8 Susannah and Anton
7 Dr Ranj and Janette
6 Lee and Nadiya
5 Faye and Giovanni
4 Charles and Karen
3 Stacey and Kevin
2 Joe and Dianne
1 Ashley and Pasha

8.06m (40.9%) peak audience 8.5m (43.6%)

not bad for a launch show, when many already did know the pairings probably

the total over reacting to predictable pairings was ridiculous

like they had won the lottery

what then, should they have all acted bored :oh:



i'm curious what song Faye will dance her showdance to in the final :think:

Excessive enthusiasm, cba with that

Always a good show.
Some good pairings too.
I deliberately chose not to look at or read any advance listing of the pairings to enjoy the show more.

This is always good, I love the genuine interest to learn.
Looking forward to it starting properly.

Omg how hot was graziano dancing? I need a cold shower now :eyes::amazed:

The hair sis :skull: 80s gigolo

the reason AJ acted surprised when he got Lauren, was just because he was expected to get Katie, Stacey, Ashley one of those 3, but he definitely feels the Chemistry between him and Lauren, and they had a bit of training hours yesterday, he said he's Lucky to have long arms so he can support Lauren with her disability, and she will be facing him closer to his face, which is also good to show the Chemistry more on screen during the performances

she's going to Australia now for the competitions and she'll be back in time to rehearse for their week 1 dance, and no one leaves in week 1 anyway so at least not that added pressure either yet, and when they have to prepare for the week 2 dance she can put in all the training hours she'll need


and from the other celebs he likes Joe a lot, Joe actually inspired him to also make his own YouTube account, and doing some backstage vlogging for this years strictly


and he also had some nice words to say about Faye, that they (him, Lauren and Faye) had been seen going to rehearsals together

It's not the hair I'm looking at. Those pecs! :drool:

ikwym

I'm surprised by how well this cast have been paired , most of these actually fit and go together well .

Susannah is a duffer, but i hope she can be up there with Judy Murray, Ann Widdecombe in terms of fun quality contestant

i'd prefer her over that creepy Seann Walsh anytime

first steps video for Joe & Dianne is up

Number 5 is ideal for Faye

Who has no experience of ballroom

:notimpressed:


but yet has experience in west end which is helpful for the storytelling in ballroom dancing
