Anno I was only thinking about those awful puppet things on Saturday night. You're not the only geek wink

Jerry Hall was ramrod stiff. She had no 'sway'. Michael Vaughan might surprise us - maybe! Remember Darren Gough improved hugely from the beginning to win his series, though a silly choice of show dance by Erin robbed her partner Colin Jackson of the title, in my opinion. What a Strictly geek I am!

I thought the judges were a bit hard on Jerry Hall on Saturday night. I would have liked to see her another week while Michael Vaughan seems out of place. He looked as though he would have settled for just cricket from now on. Victoria Pendleton seems to be getting an Olympic hand from the judges but, overall, the score board is getting it about right. Glad that Darcy has changed her mode of speech. She's very good now.

Oh merlot, glad its not just me who finds that annoying....I know we are all supposed to adore her but she does seem to trot the weepies out a lot. P.S. shall be watching Ian Hislops 'Stiff upper lip' programme!

If Victoria Pendleton cries every week I shall stop watching angry

Apparently, Louis Smith has dumped his girlfriend - do you think he reads GN wink

Louis Smith for me, pleasegrin

I imagine Denise van Outen will be good but Jerry Hall might surprise us as did Pamela Whatsit last year!

Jerry Hall is a bit frightening (not seen the show, only seen her in interviews). All dead hair and red lipstick.

doesn't matter who else is on strictly 2012.
its going to be worth watching for the delectable Nicky Byrne late of Westlife .

I have just googled strictly 2012.
I haven't heard of some of them.
Johnny Ball and Jerry Hall are representing the more mature group.

Have I missed this?
Do you know who is on strictly this year?

Hmmmmmm as usual my initial response is what an odd lot. Fern Britten is a bit of fun but can't say I'm wildly enthusiastic yet. I still think Kara and Artem were the best ever.
