Of course there's the usual pantomine villians, cutesy couples and hunks. I also love the ones that have no chance and you just know that the professional dancers must be thinking 'oh shit' when they're paired up. This year we have Ann Widdecombe and Paul Daniels. They're the adult versions of the kids that got picked last at football during PE.
Good news also is that Claudia Winkleman takes over the Sunday results show. She's been a bit hit on 'Strictly - It Takes Two' and I'm really pleased to see she's moving up to present the biggie. I've just seen the first part of SCD where the professional dancers meet up with their celebrity partners. Casting my very experienced dance eyes over proceedings... I'm going for the favourites being from the male celebs... Matt Baker, Jimi Mistry and Scott Maslen. From the girls... Kara Tointon and the girl singer from Eternal. But then again, Ann Widdecombe might be a dark horse with her Argentinian tango..
Can't wait....
Gutted that Darren Bennett has been relegated to the position of show dancer and Lilia has effectively told them to "stick it". Also miss Ian Waite - another excellent dancer who deserves better treatment. Wish the BBC would stop messing around with a winning formula. (Hope I get the tickets I applied for)!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteYep, I agree with you. Relegating my old faves - Darren, Lilia, Ian and Matthew Cutler is just not right! I see Brendan got the babe (as usual) and Anton got the 3rd prize in the shag contest. Good line-up though and I'm looking forward to it starting. The three new male dancers look good - especially the Russian. Watch this space for more SCD blogs.
