Strictly 2016

[User10119]

It is my most favourite TV show in the whole entire world. I even use it as a teaching resource in IT lessons every year, which always start with the class (and usually the teacher) thinking I'm spinning them a yarn about liking it - because quite aside from the fact that I watch very little TV at all since I can never be bothered to move the tandem out of the way I'm quite an unlikely fan of anything so bejewelled, spray-tanned and sequin-shiny - and realising within the hour that no, I really am a superfan.

But the key is probably not watching it live and choosing to iPlayer it, so you can switch tabs to something more interesting when the annoying bits are on

I don't have an opinion on 'em yet, since I don't actually know who most of them are!

Get it moved to a daytime slot where it belongs, and stop promoting it on the news, its not newsworthy.

Was it just me that thought the start with the spaceship thing was just a bit........tacky?

Shaun

Laura Whitmore (no I'd never heard of her either) will be very good.

Ed Balls will be dreadful.

hope we are all watching tonights show

I like Tess's white dress

Not sure if judge grinder is annoying or fab-you-luss! Old fuddy duddy Len said he put the boy in "flamboyant"; I also think he put the gay into "gay abandon". He and Craig might try to outbitch each other which could be fun!
And Lesley Joseph danced like Mrs Overall, which puts Ed Balls' previously unassailable title of "series potato" into question

Though, to be fair, we have to wait until this evening to see Ed's riposte. He's doing a waltz too, so there's still scope for him to retain his title.

Louise Redknap was a singer and dancer so she appears to have the edge over non-dancers.

Just goes to show being a professional singer and dancer can just mean you made a living out of it, not that you were good at it .
Daisy Lowe has also made money from dancing but cavorting in your pants like a gyrating eedjit does not make you a ballroom expert

MOD DELETED. Not suitable

 

[biggs682]

The marking was high we thought considering first week and all that

Some of the dancers were good though

poor old Ed

 

[mikeymustard]

If Tameka and anastacia were the only people in a large room it would be full, those girls are a force of nature!
I think they're trying to do an Abby Clancy on Daisy, week after week they'd big her up til the public believed them; I'm not a lover of the waltz though, I sort of zone out so I'll reserve judgement on her, Ed did his best but everyone seem miles better than him already

I rest my case.

Looks like the two might not be mutually exclusive.

She and Danny were the big surprises last night, Louise was predictably classy but I thought Will was a bit disappointing despite getting good marks. Though I may be prejudiced as ballroom tango is the work of the Devil and a pale imitation of the real thing.

My wife and my son have started watching it together so I've got no chance now!.

To be fair after Brucie left it is at least watchable..

 

[User10119]

Anton's trousers should go in the dressing up box. Who thought they were a good idea?!

Why do they expect them to dance tango to such nonsense. Although I agreed with Len and thought (about 15 seconds) in "tuck your backside in".

Who's next?

 

[biggs682]

AJ had to dance first as its bedtime at 8.15 pm
