Jeremy Vine is the first celebrity to be announced - will he be the first one off?

Ana Tue 20-Oct-15 17:54:57

Lona, wash your mouth out, if we all started looking things up online, there'd be no need for half the threads on Gransnet! Hmm...on the other hand...grin

LOL! Honestly, I am not related to anybody on the show. The other message board I'm on has some posters who are quite serious fans of some of the pro dancers (some are dancers themselves) and they have gotten to know the dancers over the years and little bits of information come out.

And just because it's online definitely does not make it true! grin

Isn't Peter Andre a sweet guy?
Like David Beckham maybe not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but also like DB polite, respectful, friendly, cuddly!!!!
What a nice boy!! smile

Is he genuine though? I sometimes wonder if he's not just a wee bit too saccharine. Sorry for being a miserable old cynic!
Was impressed by Anita (and her mother)

So who's going out tonight? Should be Jeremy Vine based on dancing ability but might get voted back in by his fans (strange people!)

gillybob Sun 25-Oct-15 09:19:21

I agree it should be Jeremy Vine to leave but I doubt it will be. Both him and Carol are being kept in the competition by their huge fan base not their dancing ability. It could be Ainsley that goes tonight.

I voted for Jay.

I think it's a good thing that the poor dancers are kept in the competition for a while by their fans otherwise how are they going to have the chance to improve? After a while they reach the limit of their ability and get voted off by the judges because they are usually pitched against a better couple in the dance off (that's my theory, anyway)

I think Jezza will go tonight. He got away with his gangly Dad dancing in the faster dances but his waltz was excrutiating.

annodomini Sun 25-Oct-15 09:56:22

I agree that it should be Jeremy. If he gets into the dance-off, the judges will certainly vote him out. I am a nasty suspicious person - I do feel that Peter André is a bit too nice to be real: smarmy in fact!

Teetime Sun 25-Oct-15 10:02:04

Is it me? I was bored last night. Peter Andre-- Oh please- he is a PR puppet.

Lona Sun 25-Oct-15 10:04:28

I think Ainsley should go, ( I've voted for Jeremy because he's always smiling).
Peter Andre is genuinely nice, he has been brought up properly by his parents, who were clearly horrified when he married the vulgar Katie Price.

Jane10 Sun 25-Oct-15 11:10:15

Understandably!

Charleygirl Sun 25-Oct-15 12:01:39

I also think that Ainsley may go although it should be Jeremy. Carol is slowly improving- I hope that she stays in at least another week.

Georgia could well win the competition- she is a very good dancer.

NotTooOld Sun 25-Oct-15 12:52:22

I started off disliking Peter Andre without knowing anything at all about him. I expect it was the Katie Price effect! However, he does seem rather lovely and he's a good dancer. It seems too close to call a possible winner at this stage, there are several who could swing it. I like Ainslie and I don't think he'll go out this week, it will be someone unexpected. I just hope it's not Anton as he and whatsername didn't do well at all this week.

Charleygirl Sun 25-Oct-15 13:01:16

I hope that Anton has a good fan club- I am not sure if Katie whatsit does. I would hate to see him leave now.

NotTooOld Sun 25-Oct-15 13:05:56

What was Craig's comment that made everyone laugh so much? I missed it and DH said he wasn't listening.

Charleygirl Sun 25-Oct-15 16:22:12

I cannot remember the actual words but he told Bruno not to make such a nasty comment- pot- kettle- black? I cannot remember the couple who had just danced.

kittylester Sun 25-Oct-15 18:09:48

Am I the only one who thinks that wardrobe are not doing Carole any favours? The first dress she wore was really mumsy and last night's could have been so much more glamorous.

Ana Sun 25-Oct-15 18:12:55

But she did say right from the beginning that she didn't want to show too much leg - it seems as though they've taken her at her word!

Alea Sun 25-Oct-15 18:15:21

Wasn't that when Bruno made a remark about the Paso Doble couple being the "bull's bo**ocks" blush !!

Ana Sun 25-Oct-15 18:19:26

No, Carol said before the series started that she hated her legs and didn't want them on show.

Alea Sun 25-Oct-15 18:26:10

My reply (a bit slow off the mark ) was to NotTooOld at 13.05 smile

Anniebach Sun 25-Oct-15 19:01:37

I do find Andre syrupy, just seems he is overacting Mr Nice. Perhaps Anslie will go if in the dance off but as always depends on the judges choice .

I am still supporting Katie and Anton

merlotgran Sun 25-Oct-15 19:38:38

Having heard Peter André murdering some great songs on Wogan this morning just because he reckons he can s(w)ing, I think he should stick to dancing.

Not that I enjoy watching him because I don't.

Jane10 Sun 25-Oct-15 19:45:53

Phew thank goodness Katie and Anton are still in.
Ainsley to go ?

aggie Sun 25-Oct-15 19:51:45

Oh Please Ainslie to gooooooooooooo !!
