I can't wait - bring it on!!!!

 

[May Kasahara]

Oooh fabulous! An interesting mix of pleasantly intriguing and hideous slebs this time around...

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Ooh might have to have a look at this. I like Don Warrington and reckon Mark Foster may be a good mover.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Oooh fabulous! An interesting mix of pleasantly intriguing and hideous slebs this time around...

That's what I thought..along with "Who's Chistine Bleakley amd Tom Chambers"

Phil Daniels could be interesting!

 

[May Kasahara]

As long as Heather Small doesn't get a chance to sing, I'll be happy.

 

[Badgers]

I thought this was for celebrities?

I reckon putting Katona, Glitter and Goody in would liven up the ratings!!

 

[felixthecat]

!

I still don't know who those 2 are either

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I still don't know who those 2 are either

I'm off to google them, for peace of mind

 

[felixthecat]

As long as Heather Small doesn't get a chance to sing, I'll be happy.

I think they should get out the gaffer tape and apply it firmly over her mouth, just in case.

Slightly more the wiser...but only just as I don't watch The One Show or Holby City

 

[Rollem]

oooh, my madge loves this programme. more evenings of her putting on her "alesha gloves" (long pruple sparkly gloves, ala alesha dixon ) and coaxing me and her dad off the sofa to dance

 

[Badger Kitten]

YES!

I can cope better with summer ending because it means it is STRICTLY TIME!

Dunno who half of them are but Rachel Stevens will probably be the final woman left in. Based on dancing skills and fitness. Not sure if she will come across as charmingly as Alesha last year though, so a man will probably win.

*goes off to google the men*

 

[May Kasahara]

You never know, Rachel Stevens' years of showbiz training might be undone by her complete lack of anything resembling a personality.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

I was in a BBC bar at Shepherds Bush a couple of years back with a couple of pals who work there. It was a Saturday night and SCD was showing and whilst we were sat in the bar, in walked various of the stars, including Dazzler Darren Gough. I got all excited and said I was going to say hello but my other half was begging me not to cos she was worried I would show her up.

I told her not to worry, I would just give him a wave as we were leaving shortly. Not to be persuaded otherwise, we finished our drinks and started to walk out and as we passed the great man, I waved and shouted "Alright Dazzler, good stuff mate" and gave him a thumbs-up and a smile. Due to this distraction, I failed to see the knee-high stool in front of me and went flying, knocking tables, drinks and people all over the shop

We laugh about it now (I think), but I'm banned from celeb spotting.....

[PacificOcean]

[spanglechick]

(((((((((((((((anton)))))))))))))

 

[felixthecat]

Anton appears to be fated to always get them, poor love

 

[Ms T]

I can hardly wait. We're away for the first show, so I'll have to remember to record it. I'm determined to have a Strictly cocktail party this year, as well.

 

[May Kasahara]

Poor Karen, paired with creepmeister Gary Rhodes

 

[fizzerbird]

Yay! and I have big new fek off telly to watch all the vibrant colours on!

Can't wait!

 

[zoooo]

(((((((((((((((anton)))))))))))))

Flipping heck!!

I was convinced he would be given a nice young tartlet this year for once. But no.
He'l be out in week 3 again then.

*grumblegrumblegrumble*

 

[May Kasahara]

Maybe he asks for them. Maybe Anton's a granny grabber!

 

[zoooo]

Hee!

No I think he's getting sick of it. Oh well!

I'm off to see which poor female celeb got that sleazy creepy dancer bloke...

 

[Looby]

Mark Foster is lovely. I think he and Tom Chambers will be the popular men this year. Bloody Heather Small and Gillian Taylforth though, I can't stand either of them.

Who has Anton got? I can't be arsed to look.

gillan taylforth, innit. ((((((((((anton)))))))))

 

[zoooo]

Poor little love.

Oh well, if he goes out early, it just means more of him on the extra show. Is Claudia doing her little show again??

I hope so!

 

[Looby]

gillan taylforth, innit. ((((((((((anton)))))))))

Oh no, poor Anton.

 

[secretsquirrel]

Mark Foster. Yum. Just googled some more pics of him - and have come over all peculiar

Only bummer is the first episode is on the same night as PROD and my mate's party! (Wonder if I can persuade my friend to have the telly on?!!?

Oooh - I can't wait! I would say it helps me get over the end of Summer but since Summer's been so shite it just gives me something to look forward to!
