Seagazer Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I always start off thinking I don't know these people and it will be a poor year, but so far I have warmed to each series. Hopefully I will again. That's true Liz, I do know one from the list! Just seen their photos on-line and its Ash from Casualty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 OOO, now I have always had a bit of a crush on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 He has a very mellow voice and twinkly eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 One of the Hairy Bikers in in the line up too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Looking forward to him but don't think he will go far. Wish it was Si though, never thought that I would like a bearded guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickendoodle Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I have a feeling that he (Dave Myers I think his name is ) might be quite good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Not so sure about that after seeing him in the opening group dance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Many years ago on one of the Hairy Bikers series they where in South America. Both Si & Dave were doing a street Tango & Dave Myers wasn't too bad. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickendoodle Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 After seeing the group dance I think Tony Jacklin will be first to leave. Not in good shape at all - I looked his age up and he is 69 - thought he looked a good 10 years older than that. Don't know that many of them but I am sure we will find out things we never thought we wanted to know about them as the show goes on! Rather like the rugby player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ben Cohen is an all-round good guy - not only is he rather pleasing to look at but he's done a lot of work on anti-bullying campaigns. Did you know he's also clinically deaf - less than 30% hearing? He's a great role model for young men. Rugby players often seem to do well on Strictly, agile and light on their feet. I reckon he's a stayer! I think he's my pick for a finalist. Deborah Meadon looks interesting. I like Vanessa Feltz but I think she's going to end up shouting at Craig.

The Dogmother Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I don't know the names, but my 'ones to watch' are the news reader, the black soap actress and the rugby player. The designer is going to get a slap before the night is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 What did you all think of the opener? Pretty good start, standard looks good I am going to be rooting for Suzanna, jive first week she did herself proud I am lacking enthusiastic watching buddies though, hubby drifts in and out and YD wasn't interested just came in for the last dance. Miss my ED at times like this. hopefully she will be back tomorrow for the next show, but probably not again for several weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I'm here Was a great start last night. This lot are going to be a treat to watch not only skills but such good attitude. I really liked Tony Jacklin, he was so disappointed at some comments but they were constructive not personal. I hope the judges keep it that way this year.

Alis girls Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 i have to say I dont know half the names this time.Mark Benson was good - good to see another er "larger" person good on the dance floor. sorry not very tactful - I suspect the wt will drop off him. (Wish my OH could do strictly but hes not famous and is fighting a large tum too. ) thought Natalie, Suzanne and Sophie were good. Had to laugh at Sophies mom blubing in the audience.

chickencam Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I thought that Sophie was a bit dismissive of her mum, however I think that she was in shock about how well the dance had gone. I would have been blubbing too if that had been my daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C&T Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I am going to start a campaign to get Julian off asap.... It's no good, I just cannot warm to him at all! Otherwise, I'm enjoying so far!

Cinnamon Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Aw, I like Julian...Vanessa can do one though! Loved Dave, the Hairy Biker & Patrick the very hot 50 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Ditto Bless Dave, he wasn't cut out to be a dancer, but the enthusiasm was certainly there. Vanessa is soooo annoying as is Julien. Abby Clancy is such a self absorbed poser! unfortunately she was quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
