he could be the shorter younger male we've been lacking so far



and then we need 1 or 2 more surprises

Spoiler:

when we know one is yet to be confirmed, Helen Skelton

who the other 2 males could be, i really think we have 8 females, 8 males


am curious who the female same-sex is then, maybe Ellie Simmonds after all but she would've said anything about that or BBC would've revealed that like they did with Richie

Yes because they should reward him for cheating on his GF and abandoning his unburn baby

He hasn't. They agreed to coparent.
I know they split up. I don't read the tabloid trash.

[Kate!]

Fleur

[LeatherTrumpet]

no personality and has had lots of dance training

*snore*

[Vanessa]

I like her, but I worry she could get the ringer tag.

[Strictly Jake]

Her, Kym and Ellie Taylor. Top 3 I'm looking forward to

[Mystic Mock]

Tbf she'll probably be good on this.

Ironically she'll probably finish lower though for being good.

She'll be amazing .
Every year the same crap is spouted about 'ringers'. I really don't know what people want or expect . I've noticed certain celebs get away with it , whilst others get given more grief about their 'experience'. About 90% of the contestants on strictly always have a form of dance or fitness advantage.

If they want total dance virgin duffers , then the competition will be full of just politicians & newsreaders. And we all know nobody wants that .

Tbh this is another reason why I don't get that invested in strictly anymore ,as I hate how some celebs get slated for silly to no reason.

Tbh it's a Reality TV mindset, certain contestants can't do anything right in the general publics eyes, while other contestants can get away with doing the same boring routine nearly every week and be told that it's beautiful.

Basically the public are unfair sometimes when it comes to these Shows.

could be first year i don't really have a preferred favourite


such a strong line up this year usually me just recognizing 1 or 2 names, now i basically have heard of 4 or 5, and those who i haven't heard i am looking forward getting to know better in this show



am happy they haven't got a politician now but something else like another wildlife signing, hope Hamza will come across as simply likeable and amazing as to how Arno Kantelberg (Nat Geo photographer) came across on our series of the mole this year, whom i also never even heard of, but was in the end one of my faves, although he was a bad contestant for the mole in terms of how no one suspected him at all rightfully so, how genuine and likeable he had been on that show, not the right tactics there

since i cannot post negativity in an appreciation thread, i'll say it here


she should really calm things down, you cannot be tooo energetic in cha cha's, beginner mistake here from Vito (should've saved this energy for later on when they get to the jives, salsa's, charlestons)



also i don't like her smug attitude, her already knowing how good she is

same goes for Molly, also find her too smug as well


with them saying ''every week'' as if it is a certainty you are in the competition every week


be more humble and don't think too highly of yourself and you will be liked by me
