Bit hard to pin that on SCD to be fair!

Starts tonight. I so want to enjoy it, Strictly has been a favourite for years and one of those shows that can just cheer you up, but all the allegations ate going to make it hard to watch member mind enjoy.

However I am going to watch it and reserve judgement until I see how the beeb are handling things.

Plus The Merse! Always had a soft spot for The Merse!

 

[BoatieBird]

Same QueenOfGoths, it's been a favourite of ours for years, but it just doesn't feel the same this year.

Is tonight just the pairing-up show?

I think so

 

[Me76]

Same here too. I hope they don't just ignore it and they say something.

We’ve just watched the opening (a few minutes behind) and my 9 year old had announced he wants to be on the Vengabus so it’s going down well here.

Don’t we all.

I love Chris already, but Wynn seems fun.

I love Chris already, but Wynn seems fun.

Wynne lives in the same village as me and my house briefly came into shot in his introduction video!

 

[Saffy]

I'm watching too and wanting to enjoy it.
Also watching for Merse, for old times sake.

Wynne lives in the same village as me and my house briefly came into shot in his introduction video!

He's from West Wales, but he definitely lives in Cardiff these days.

I'm gutted he's not paired with Amy for the full Cymru am byth experience.

He's got a house in my village and spends a lot of time here. He's a regular in our local pub and I often meet him in the morning when I'm walking my dog.

I wish they'd paired him with Amy as well.

Funnily enough I know him from dog walking too. (Everyone else, yes, Wales is a small country)

We're only an hour and a half from Cardiff so it's easy for him to flit from one place to another.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

We're not watching at the moment. Not because we don't want to but we're watching a version of Christmas Carol before the first Sunday rehearsal tomorrow so we know what we're doing!!

Who's Tom with? He's from Maidenhead. And given other famous residents are/were Timmy Mallet and Rolf Harris we're hoping he'll rescue the town's reputation!!

 

[A380]

Forgotten that I love Toyah Wilcox

 

[danny la rouge]

That poor lassie’s jacket’s too big and her trousers are missing!

 

[danny la rouge]

Tess is back. Wonder where she went?

 

[Saffy]

I like Craig with a beard.

 

[Saffy]

I have a long list of people I hate already!

 

[colacubes]

I like Craig with a beard.

Looks like Rylan.

 

[Everything Goes]

Got to see snippets of the couples dancing at the end, some good, some not so good.

Being paired with someone competitive who has been in sports is usually a good thing and definitely has it's advantages in training, except for footballers....

 

[Me76]

Amy and Winn totally should have been paired.

Going by that group dance, Shayne and Montell look quite tasty.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Catching up with the launch show. Loved the cheesy disco opening number.

So far I'm liking Wynne and especially Chris

 

[QueenOfGoths]

JB seems sweet and Montell and JoJo look like a great partnership

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Ooooh Maidenhead's local sports centre has just been on the telly!!
