New season of "Strictly Come Dancing" - hurrah!

[zoooo]

I love Claudia too! Is she still talking incessantly about small woodland animals?

Why does Anton always get the duds??! I thought he might be okay this year with her, but now she's managed to go lame in both legs. Bloody buggering bollocks....

 

[felixthecat]

I was creeped out by Dominic too (shudders).

Alesha and Penny are looking like early favourites with a lot of folk, but for me, it has to be John Barnes.

(but thats mainly because I think he's all lovely and cuddly )

 

[Ms T]

MsT, That's a rather splendid idea. Maybe we could invent cocktails and name them after the dancers...

Oooh yes. We'd have to have a Russian Minx for Lilia and a Dancing Diva for Stephanie.

 

[skyscraper101]

Good God. How much more z list celebrity pap can they churn out? This country is absolutely obsessed with celebrities!! Stop feeding them!!!!!

They don't even stop there, its every fecking morning on BBC Breakfast they get the same 'Strictly Come Dancing' this or 'Skating on Ice' that 'slebs' on the couch to talk about how amazing it was and promote it all again. FUCK OFF!!!! Can't even escape it on GMTV, if its not 'Celebrity Jungle' toss or 'Hollywood Gossip' or whatnot, they're filming Keith Cheggers acting like a moron running round housing estates with a giant cheque.

Bring back Top Of The Pops, TFI Friday and the Word! Proper Telly.

Im really feeling Claudia Winkleman's tops this week. Loving the Edwardian style blouses.

She's looking a little thin though?

 

[May Kasahara]

I can't believe John and Willie are in the bottom two, along with their respective partners of course. People of Britain, you have no shame (and no taste)

My money is still on a Kelly/Alesha cat fight for the trophy, with blokey off Eastenders as the dark horse.

 

[spanglechick]

yup, all of that. thing is, apart from the scary woman with five foot long legs, i don't want anyone to go!

 

[May Kasahara]

It's true

Penny is a bit scary, isn't she? She looked positively deranged in the rehearsal clips.

i missed her dance. i missed the first six. fucking start time keeps fucking changing.

 

[May Kasahara]

I only saw bits and pieces as well, didn't see her whole performance...but she didn't look at all comfortable with the jive.

 

[zoooo]

Matt off Eastenders is a surprisingly great dancer!

And hurray for the public (presumably) giving Kate the pity vote and therefore keeping Anton in for another week.

Still in love with Gethin too.

 

[purves grundy]

Got my telly working at last, so now I can watch this! Have to get into this year's contestents now. There's not many I've heard of

Love watching the dancing whatever tho

 

[spanglechick]

hurrah!

the way to really get into it is to watch the bbc2 programme - mon-fri 6.30pm

you keep track of training and really get to know all the contestants and pros and judges and it's just brillimiant!

 

[Melinda]

Why is Dominic Littlewood always grabbing on Lillia's arse? It makes me quite queasy. Im not surprised to hear the judges say the same thing.

Aleisha should have been marked higher.

Im watching this back on Sky plus about half an hour behind the show, Kate's on next.

 

[spanglechick]

Kate's on next.

yeah.. that's a funny one.

 

[Melinda]

Ive got my hands across my mouth!

 

[purves grundy]

Cracking entertainment and cleavage!

 

[spanglechick]

what more could you ask?

 

[Badger Kitten]

Dom's perving and arse grabbing makes me feel ill.

Kenny Logan looks like Frankenstein and Kate is supremely awful. Kelly will win. I reckon.

I love this programme, its the only TV I watch apart from Newsnight

 

[felixthecat]

Oh yes ! After watching that i reckon Matt is in with a damn good chance, but watch out for Letitia ...... could spring a suprise here.

 

[zoooo]

Why were they so mean to Gethin? I thought he was good. But what do I know about dancing.
Still, they never give him any encouragement. Bunch of fuckwits. He's on Blue Peter! He is genetically predisposed to trying jolly hard.

 

[Melinda]

Oh yes ! After watching that i reckon Matt is in with a damn good chance, but watch out for Letitia ...... could spring a suprise here.

Im not liking Letitia and Im suprised at that, I thought I would. I hate her dresses and the unecessary fanny flashes she keeps traumatising me with.

Gethin is goodlooking but so very asexual.

 

[May Kasahara]

I missed it again this weekend (bloody social engagements) and there's not footage of Garraway on YouTube yet.

 

[spanglechick]

watch the results show, there'll be clips.

 

[May Kasahara]

OMG. Even from those tiny clips, I can tell she is the worst dancer on this earth. Poor woman.

 

[spanglechick]

she's MUCH better than fiona phillips was!

 

[spanglechick]

just thought - probably she'll have to do it again for the dance off!

 

[zoooo]

She's really not THAT bad. The bad bits are bad, but there are good bits inbetween...
Kenny however, that charisma-less rugby(?) player is AWFUL.
But as usual it's a woman that gets all the bitchy comments directed at her. Grumble.

 

[May Kasahara]

No, Kenny looked pretty shit too. But Kate just looks so wooden and uncomfortable. I like her as a breakfast tv presenter and really thought she'd do well on this, but I'm not seeing it.

Surprised they kept Penny over Gabby though, she's enthusiastic but nowhere near as clean and defined IMO.

 

[Badger Kitten]

shockah result!

no way should rubbish Kate stay - that was because of Anton the housewives choice - and Kenny picked over Gabby!!!!

Gabby is a good dancer. But maybe her naked competitiveness and low profile with women because a sports presenter knocked her out?

Poor show though, this is meant to be a dance show not a popularity contest
