Has Strictly jumped the shark with this line up?
 

Had to happen but it looks like this is one step too far this year

Dan Wooton told it straight


ratings to plummet?

Dan with a real celeb not some Casualty deadbeat

:bored: :fist: NOO but for you and dan mr in love with himself wootton maybe next year a better line up then

It will still get 10m viewers a week. Something Borelow couldn't achieve with his show he gave us months ago.

why did you need to make this thread anyway :rolleyes:

Gary flopped also as a coach on x factor :fan: his acts never won due to his lack of popularity i guess


and wootton is a vile mess who is moaning every year since he's never asked to do strictly :joker:

i can explain the line up and Celebrate Diversity a bit

Joe Sugg, Vick Hope were signed to appeal as well to a younger audience, same goes for Dr Ranj, who is well known on CBeebies


but celebs like Lee, Susannah, Danny John Jules, Charles Venn were signed for the strictly's main viewing public, family households, since Casualty is a well watched series, same goes for Death in Paradise, and some might recognize Lee from EastEnders as well given he was in that recently


Ashley Roberts from Pussycat dolls, well she's also a familiar face from DOI


Susannah was in a great show trinny & susannah, and a quite famous face in the fashion world in the 90's


Stacey Dooley had her own investigative show, also with good viewer ratings on BBC3


2 sports stars while last year we only had one sports star so also an improvement there honestly


yes i am happy that i don't really dislike anyone on the line up tbh, they all seem a diverse bunch of nice people :hee:

This line up has very little to offer the core Sat night audience

most people i chat with on the bbc blogs are just going to watch for the dancing and they will just try to get to know the celebs through this :)


same on strictly ds forums, they are also quite positive overall


this show is about the dancing, while a show like i'm a celeb and celebrity big brother are focused on the celebrities


some people didn't knew Jay and look what happened he won strictly, with fanbase consisting out of most of the main strictly viewers

really so why use "celebs"?

I had no idea who Jay McGuinness was, but he turned out to be really amazing. It doesn't matter how well known the celebs ar on this show.

so why use them and cost the public?

Its about entertaining the public. And so far the show has never disappointed.

this exactly, i guess we want nice people taking part in strictly every year, since it is often that the biggest celebs are also bit arrogant and stuck up


this whole line up now consists out of a fun group i think, also a bit unpredictable for me to say who will be good or bad

so just dict people who have been on tv and have regular people on like the much better Bake Off programme

i don't need those bake off actors :notimpressed:

the line-up is fine, the show will be as popular as ever, LT will watch it on the sly anyways

Barlow? Nah, since the tax scheme don't have any time for that twat

No I will watch it for Faye and Stacey but i cant abide the dancing

just awful

or the 2 witches who present it

:yuk:

nah the only thing awful were Debbie's latin routines last year especially that salsa with way too many lifts :nono:

So literally there is no reason to watch it but you will just to inflict gloom. Good to know.

No i will watch it to see Faye and Stacey and what outfits they wear but i wont enjoy the dancing bit

I also like to see what Craig says as he is the best judge

yeah, Craig is the best imo
can't warm up to Shirley tho

Faye, Ashley, etc. It's a good lineup in my books.
