Strictly Come Dancing 2024 Discussion Thread (Live on BBC1HD 6:25PM)
 

.

not yet a time in the OP i know, but as soon as i see in the tv schedule, will edit that in as well


14th September is confirmed (7th September is the date the launch show is being recorded, always a week later then)


am curious which music artist is performing at the launch :think:


and also looking forward to the many different pro dances and of course the celebrity group dance, always enjoyable

Hopefully it'll be good.

why are you posting here?

it is just about time i start to grow up and act like my age, and act more responsible


others have been right about me, i admit, i had acted too immature lately, but not anymore now, i'm gonna be more normal from now on

You say that every time and have done for years and its all bollocks

you should not be allowed to make threads in this sub-section as you will ruin it

and I bet everyone agrees

trailer

I agree. He said he'd blocked the subforum and wouldn't be posting at all. I bet a fair few of us clapped their hands.

Omg love that trailer. It's getting me so excited!

Not Even Live

Nicky Pathetic BBC


[The pre-recorded launch episode is set to air on
14 September, so fans won’t have to
wait too long to see how the
show’s producers have paired up the
latest batch of celebrity contestants with
Strictly’s professional dancers.]

I don't think the launch is ever live.
But live from the following week every week.

I can't wait to see who's paired up with who

am happy Aljaz is back, also look forward to see him reading his title cards at it takes two :love:



and what was it that i've been reading, strictly going back to more traditional approach to the show, less inclusive due to the recent drama?



the lack of a pairing spoiler, makes me think if production screens the audiences more thoroughly, we'll see soon enough with the week 2 results show if there is a spoiler or not, otherwise we're into a similar series as we had during the covid year of 2020 (also spoiler-free) would be a good idea if BBC finally took care of those leaks, will improve the sunday nights pre-recorded results show, and no you cannot do it all on saturdays, you also have other shows to air, takes up a lot of time to do it all in one night, like with RTL's Lets Dance (they have ad breaks too in which people can win money, the lucky few who are among the fastest voters week by week) those shows last from 20:15 to 23:45 or even midnight

Nick's favourite past contestant being Bill Bailey :love: yes no one really knew he could dance like the way he did, and also i agree with him saying about Bill wanting to be taken seriously and not as a joke act simply because he's a comedian, and indeed very amazing he ended up winning :flutter:

i hope Nick will be dancing with Nadiya so so much

7:20 till 9

is the launch show, on BBC1, next week


1 hour and 40 minutes length

am recording launch show, to watch on sunday evening


have got the footie (NAC vs Fortuna) and also Ter Land, Ter Zee, in de lucht to watch tomorrow

Bill Bailey was great. He definitely surprised everyone.

from a 3 in week 1, to eventually becoming an sensational dancer and entertainer


and tbh even in a full series instead of a covid reduced one, he also would've won i think

don't need to watch this tonight anyway, it isn't live so

my thoughts on the launch show, on each couple (pre-week 1)

lets start off with the guys

Jamie & Michelle: i am super happy for Michelle not to get Cameron'd, and also with a debut celeb in with a good chance of going far

Tom & Nadiya: not sure what to think of this one yet, Nadiya also isn't the best of teachers/choreographers tbh, what we saw with Matt Goss, the ringer that never was basically, and it basically being her fault choreographing everything wrong instead of trying to make him shine

Wynne & Katya: idk either, he has the best choreographer in Katya, maybe he can be another Ed but idk

JB & Amy: very predictable they give Amy a contender in her comeback series, but pls make it about JB, not yourself, make him shine brightly

Nick & Luba: based on the group dance, i could see he has a good sense of rhythm/musicality, i let myself get surprised here by this one, also am happy they have Jive on week 1, basically the no.1 dance of death for older duffer males on elimination weeks

Chris & Dianne: its nice to try out a blind person on this show, but i cannot think of how this is gonna work at all, he doesn't see where he is, he doesn't see what he does, its nice of Chris to give this show a go, but truthfully i can see him as an early out, i hope he doesn't get sympathy votes, because the more weeks he is in this, the more awkward it'll be, also he can't lift her, that is sooooo ******* dangerous for Dianne

Paul & Karen: poor Karen :( also vindaloo for an american smooth, seriously what can we expect there LMAO, but tbh Tony had a week 1 disaster either and it went upwards from there on for him, so maybe same ''journey'' for Mr Magic Man

Shayne & Nancy: these two have potential! best in the group dance by far i thought

Pete & Jowita: height difference don't mean much as Bobby last year also towered over Dianne and still went on to finish runner up, but idk about his dance potential, the lifts could be spectacular though

------------------------------
Montell & Johannes: they look A-MA-ZING together, TeamMoJo are gonna go far me thinks, best of the female pairings by far

Tasha & Aljaz: great to have Aljaz back, and i can see him going far again too

Sarah & Vito: LOL that she looks older than Toyah but is 10 years younger, won't win but a enjoyable middler for our charming Vito after his win with Ellie

Dr Punam & Gorka: Gorks never has luck on his side :sad: jeez her nose :umm2: and her chin, looks like a witch, could be her halloween week theme (if she makes it that far) without too much makeup needed :laugh2:

Sam & Nikita: likeable girl, think she has potential to go far

Toyah & Neil: what a lovely woman she is, very funny, hoping she can avoid being first out

what a fabulous launch show, superb show it was :love:

That's a bit harsh imo.

Tonight it is Live


So blind fella can mess up


Sloppy Nicky
Sort out the Title
get that date off

I trust Diane. She will make it work.
