Well it's taken me 3 days to find the time to catch up with the thread but oh my goodness where do I start?
firstly loving the decor of the RW SCD Lounge with the glitter ball et al
Really hoping Hammy will be back - he was the highlight in so many ways last year
Not fussed either way re Lulu but no fan of Nancy and never been keen on Zoe Ball so may well not watch as much ITT this year
Having missed all of SAturday and most of sunday am a bit behind on who's with who and did what but I reckon Russell Grant might be quite good as sometimes bigger people are really light on their feet
Does anyone know what time it's going to be on? I don't get in until 7.15 (or later)on a saturday generally and missed huge chunks last year....
It's bad enough losing Claudia but if Hammy goes as well...
Remember the first show will be on Friday 30th so it's really only 2 weeks to go now
Not going to get too excited with who's got who just yet as I think I'll need to see them dancing to get a better idea. Remember when we all thought Michelle was going to be fantastic last year?!?
Luckily for me Twitter is a techno step too far for me and I don't tweet (or as I prefer to think I'm not a twit" ). Fakebook is bad enough - go on about once a year at someone's else's behest and inevitably can't do / find what I'm trying to
Yes I was pleasantly surprised by Robbie Savage too given that I don't generally go for either footballers or blokes with long hair....
LOL ha ha no not THE Len... for a start, I'm a girl
Did Robbie Savage really say that the 2 most important things in his life are his hair and his teeth? Oh dear..... his wife and kids must be thrilled lol!
I'm a bit late coming to this thread (was on holiday for the first show), but I am a fellow Strictly-lover.
Sorry to bring this up again, but I'm SO HAPPY other people thought Lisa Snowdon's show dance was awful! The way I feel about Lisa Snowdon is the way some people here seem to feel about Lulu. I just cannot stand the sight of her, and that show dance enraged me so much... grr.
I'm very excited for the next series... I think they're a bunch who might surprise us. And it's always good to have James Jordan around. LOVE HIM!
OMG Lisa Snowdon makes me want to throw things at the tv - I can't STAND her!!! Glad it's not just me too lol! That dance......oh god that dance. That bacofoil outfit... those spindly legs. Shudder. She does to me what big hairy spiders do to me. Ewwwwwwww.
The thing, she probably saw the professional dancer who performed the week before with a similar, but obviously much BETTER routine and thought she was a good enough dancer to do the same thing when she is a) a mediocre dancer and b) not even close to being flexible enough. It would have given me HUGE pleasure to have watched her perform that dance as an actual judged thing and heard the judges comments.
God, she really brings out the worst in me! I'm not usually this horrible.

Who's with who
No idea what time the shows will be on - one of the benefits of Sky+ when you have a toddler who needs put to bed a prime viewing time.......
Rumour has it that Hammy won't be bcd this year but I'm not sure if he didn't say that last year!
Thanks for link Nessie

Len 2 - not THE Len, shurely?
Saffy - sorry dear, but that's just going tooooo far (although he is much better looking than I ever thought).

Boing!
The BBC site has some training footage if you just can't wait for Friday 30th:
Strictly training
Thanks for the link Little Nemo. Jason Donovan is looking old! But he could be good.
I want Hammy!!!
Still cheering for Russell though

Welcome to the thread, Lauren
Though I have to question your taste in men
Robbie and Ola's training is up on the BBC site, I'll have a look at lunch time. Wonder if they have matching fake tan?
Those breakfast biscuits that she advertises are quite nice though - nom nom
I think what makes that showdance extra special is watching his arms almost give way trying to hold her up! Hubris, thy name is Brenda
God, she really brings out the worst in me! I'm not usually this horrible.
Also - what's wrong with James Jordan?!
James is alright really but he has got strange hair...
Surely the fact that she must have weighed twice as much as the pro should have told Lisa that it was a bad idea?
BOING!
It all kicks off tomorrow evening I may treat myself to a glass of wine
I can't wait!
T'other half will be pleased
