new season of Strictly Come Dancing!

[Melinda]

Im distinctly annoyed. They are determined to wreck this lovely programme.

There are some monstrous peple and horror pairings this year. FFS I watch for the lovely clothes and the music and the dancing pros.
The producers seem to want to turn it into frigging Slebrity Big Brother. Why? Fans would watch it anyway.

 

[breasticles]

silver fox mark foster... doing the foxtrot... in a tuxedo. oh yes. just... oh yes. i approve entirely.

the other contestants? there are other contestants? i really hadnt noticed.

i will probably get banned from the boards for wantondisplays of objectification after about three weeks at this rate. i think i'd best switch off the internet until christmas.

 

[onenameshelley]

Ok i havent watched this before saw one bit with my mum last year and enjoyed it a lot, spangles loves it which makes me think that i will probably love it too.

So i am going to make a stand against stinky boys and i am going to claim the telly back for one night a week to watch this and then i have something to get all over excited about again.


Is that Jessie Wallaces proper hair that i saw? Or did they wig her up?

 

[zoooo]

I've thought about it, and despite the slightly disappointing guests and pairings, I'm definitely still excited.
Woo!

hmm - thing is, it tends to be seven nights a week. Claudia's show is brilliant for all the training gossip and getting to know the dancers and slebs - that's on BBC2 mon-fri at 6pm(?), then the competition is on saturday and they show the results on sunday. but iplayer is your friend.

it's brill, shells - come on in!

shells I only watch the weekendy stuff and still enjoy it. But I reckon I could get the foal into the 6pm show - he was hooked on Last Choir Standing

well i did watch the whole of Euro2008 without one single complaint so i think i am probably due some girly telly and its not like i watch the soaps or anything like that so i think he gets away almost scott free on the girly telly front, and if he dont like it then i can send the boy to go out to play with your boy, jumpers for goal posts etc.

I love the fact that the little ones seem to be loving it too, well that and the sequins oooh i am all overexcited now

 

[little edge]

Very excited about this
I havent made up my mind about what I think of the celebs, but slightly gutted my fave dancer Karen has been lumped with Gary Rhodes
Going to invite some girlies over to wear spangly dresses and drink sparkly wine for the first episode

Just want to confirm, is the first episode on Saturday 20th??

YAY!

 

[zoooo]

I think so.

But there is an episode this Saturday isn't there? But just as an intro episode before the competition starts, not a proper one...?

when, shurely, you'll be at PRoD, missus!

even i couldn't miss the only prod in 10 months for strictly!

 

[little edge]

Yes, I am planning to come to PROD, but was thinking I would come down after strictly........

or else, I can always record it and watch it Sunday morning, either way, its VERY EXCITING!

i am gonna sky plus that one and then watch it sunday

 

[felixthecat]

So - did anyone see it on Saturday, introducing all the contestants? Early favourites anyone?

I can't wait to see Mark Foster in his latin costumes

 

[May Kasahara]

i hope gary rhodes gets knocked out early, the creepy fuck

 

[felixthecat]

i hope gary rhodes gets knocked out early, the creepy fuck

Too true. he makes my skin crawl *shudders*

I liked the way they introduced Jodie Kidd in her old baggy jumper with no make up and weekend hair, mucking out the horses. Damn, it shows you what makeup can do tho. doesn't it!

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

yes, i found it remarkable that she was on telly with no make up. funny how it should seem so odd. good for her.
rachel stevens wears too much blush but is otherwise gorgeous of course

i went a bit funny over the swimmer. yes please. even though hes way too tall and has over developed pecs. it must be his distinguished hair

 

[Melinda]

i hope gary rhodes gets knocked out early, the creepy fuck

There are so many opportunities for terrifying, involuntary body shudderingly creepy moments.

Close ups of Gary Rhodes' fingers *shudder*
Gary Rhodes wiggling his arse and being vaguely sexual *I can feel the saliva collecting in my mouth*
Gary Rhodes groping his partner's arse *faints with revulsion*

Andrew Castle. ANDREW CASTLE.

Ive prejudged the women too. I know which ones Im going to loathe to my marrow.
We are going to have to contend with countless hours of dizzy 'Im so pretty and tiny and cute, please like me' and moderately less annoying 'Wahey, Ive still got it' from over exposed has beens.

I could just about put up with Gary Rhodes and Andrew Castle (after all we survived Dom last year) but weeks of 'Are Jessie Wallace and the S Club7 girl knobbin their partners?' will make me cry for the days of Alesha and Jill Halfpenny.

Only Flavia, Jodie Kidd and Mark foster can rescue this season for me.

*picks up toys and places them carefully back in her pram.*

its defo the hair, i am not normally into blokes like that but even i did dribble a bit. I enjoyed the round up but have not decided anything just yet, although i do suspect that Jessie Wallace could get on my tits quite quickly

 

[zoooo]

(which one is that?)

The swimmer's body is eat-your-own-arm sexy.

There's no one Gethin level cute though.

 

[liampreston]

I so, so, so, so, so wish this show didn't attract me so much.

But it does, every yeah.

Sigh.

 

[spanglechick]

i thought the doctor-actor might do for that.

btw - i managed to persuade myself claudia would be on this afternoon.

 

[zoooo]

Aww.
You poor wee disappointed thing.

Not long now though!

i thought the doctor-actor might do for that.

He mgiht grow on me, definitely.

 

[purves grundy]

oooh that Ola

 

[May Kasahara]

Yay, Gary Rhodes is awful It's hard to dance convincingly when you have nothing resembling a human soul. Let's hope he gets the boot this week after all.

Not even Ola could pull that catsuit off

Of the ladies, going on the group performance: Jodie has spent too much time perfecting her emotionless model face, she needs to look lively to be a good dancer; Kat Slater is as wooden as a fleet of longboats.

 

[spanglechick]

watching it now on iplayer. wtf is ola wearing. takes alot to make a woman that beautiful look so utterly dreadful.

edit - she looks like that picture of an anaconda that's eaten an alligator.

 

[spanglechick]

i love lilia's frock. and don warrington's voice - wow - knee spins - he's 56!.

 

[Melinda]

JESUS, Ola! She had me dribling in te catsuit! Her arse was PERFECTION! I honestly did not notice Andrew Castle, he could have been a donkey- Ive no idea!
Ola is STACKED! Front and back! And she dances like a dream. Fuck me, it's indecent how much sex appeal that woman has! Flavia is going to have some *serious* competition this year!

Too much weightloss this year: Tess Daly and Camilla are both noticeably smaller- no need.

Didnt know the Holby guy from Adam- but I was impressed enough to do a sneaky rewind or two!

Gary Rhodes almost made me vomit. *shudder* Knowitall fuckhead.

 

[Melinda]

Oh and the women's dance was *godawful*. Heather Small gurning and convulsing her way round, Jesse Wallace looking like a side a beef (haircut and dress choice)
Jodie, poor jodie was wooden and dreadful. Gillian Taylforth's hair looked amazing.

As much as I hate to say it because she has the personality of an ironing board, Rachel Stevens (ptooey)will have to break a leg not to finish top placed woman.
Oh how Kelly Brook must wish her ego had waited a year.

 

[spanglechick]

had to pause iplayer in the middle of karen and gary's dance. god it's unbelieveably dreadful! what was that awful thing where she bent over - was he sposed to be playing piano on her?????

at least he'll be out quickly. i don't imagine he's got much public love. but poor karen. darren consistantly gets good partners - and camilla does... they can't be paying her back for landing Ramps, surely...

 

[Melinda]

Just for you.
