Egluntyne Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Jamelia (who?) and Anita Rani are in as is a rugby player whose name I have instantly forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 The words 'bottom' and 'barrel' spring to mind still, I s'pose it doesn't really matter if we don't know who they are, so long as we enjoy watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Must only be about two left to announce now, maybe they are saving the best for last. Having said that I have enjoyed watching quite a few of the contestants over the years that I hadn't previously heard of or thought I didn't like much. Just looking forward to the pretty frocks and good dancing, hopefully not too much silly choreography. Has there been an obvious choice for Anton yet, that's the bit I don't like, although Judy last year was at least likeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Iwan Thomas last to be announced.I can honestly say I haven't heard of most of them.Still can't wait to show starts.Then it's time to let the fire,open the wine and get a carry out.

Grandmashazzie Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Just watched last nights show. I thought they all did well in the group dance. We are all looking forward to Autumn Saturday's, Strictly,roaring fire and carry out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmashazzie Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Goodness,just watched Fri and Sat shows and can't believe how good most of them are for their first dances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Loved last nights show... especially Anton's reaction to his partners performance and the judges reactions Could anybody tell me what dance Peter was doing? I missed the introduction and couldn't work it out. He was very good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Peter Andrés dance was a cha cha.As mentioned OH and I have started ballroom dancing classes. We have been 5 times and the only dancer that bore any resemblance to our very very basic steps was Jeremy Vine's cha cha. The rest are such good dancers they are able to do all the extra twirls. Even the waltz's seemed very advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Just watched Saturday's show, so not seen yet who went off, but some exceptional dances... Katie Dereham (didn't she look lovely?), Peter Andre, Anita Rani and Jay McGuinness to mention just some. Anthony Ogogo didn't follow through on the promise he showed in the first show, Carol Kirkwood, was dreadful (sorry), and Jeremy Vine looks to be this season's Judy Murray I was surprised that Daniel O'Donnell (can't warm to him) wasn't half as bad as i thought he'd be, and Iwan Thomas leaves me cold. The standard for just the 2nd show is amazing. Now... can anyone tell me who went out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Iwan Thomas went out. He had obviously tried hard, but had no natural rhythm, also, I blame Olla for terrible choreography, it was largely an Olla pose show. Jay's waltz blew me away, it was so beautiful, graceful and romantic, I can't wait to see how he develops, he surprised me last week. Daniel O'Donnel came out of his shell this week, but like you say DM, I do find it hard to warm to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I really love Jay. He seems quite shy or socially awkward, yet has amazing musicality and emtion in his dance. I am guessing that he had some sort of dance training. Daniel looks like he has had botox.... his face seems frozen, which may count against him in some dances.

Grandmashazzie Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Agree with all above comments. Although not sure about Botox. My memory of Daniel from years ago was he was always like that. Quite wooden with little expression,although he did seem genuinely ' nice ' or boring.He did do fairly well but can't see him lasting too long unless his fans vote for him. Poor Jeremy I did feel for him. He is totally out of his comfort zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 You know what annoys me about Brendan Cole? His ego... he choreographs and dances for himself, to make him look good, not his partner. Kirsty really didn't deserve to be in the dance off. Am glad that Daniel has left, I really couldn't warm to him. I do wish that Tess would stop grabbing everyone by the hand, some of the celebs obviously find it uncomfortable, and what's with Aliona holding Jay's face in her hands and smothering him with kisses all the time? I am no prude, but I find it uncomfortable to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I agree Aliona is too touchy. Jay just seems to ignore her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Agree DM Brendan makes no allowances that these people are just beginners. He expects them to be able to dance and keep up with him.Kirsty is doing admirably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Really looking forward to the final I'm pleased that Anton has managed to reach it but I can't warm to Katie. I think people have been voting for them just for the novelty of seeing him get so far. The other three are all so good. I'm hoping Jay will win. I love watching him dance, it looks so natural to him. Roll on Saturday. Last in the series of The Bridge too. Anyone watching that? Crikey, there have been some gruesome scenes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 My money is on Jay or Kellie. I can't warm to Georgia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Love the Bridge and yes it is gory, I cringe waiting to see which body part is missing. It took me a long time to work out who was who and weed out the Red Herrings. Now I'm out sat night for both finals grrrr. Sunday will be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
