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

kittylester Tue 27-Oct-15 10:03:18

I don't like it either Lona because I worry one of the slebs will slip or catch their foot in the long floaty dresses etc. I know I would! blush

Oh Anton! Such a big headed chap but just so endearing with it. How I would love to be waltzed by him, to swirl effortlessly around the floor in his arms blush. Enough day dreaming, must get back to swirling the mop around the kitchen floorsad.

I can't bear to watch Jeramy Vine, and as if it couldn't get any worse, this week he's dancing the salsa to Thriller by Micheal Jackson. Soooo wrong on sooooo many levels.

It was Esther Rantzen who said that every woman should have half an hour dancing with Anton!

Judges being very tough tonight. Thought Anita was brilliant. Anti and Katie seemed fine to me but got slated confused

am i just getting grumpy or does anyone else think all the dressing up is getting in the way of the dancing , really didnt enjoy it tonight and to me the judges are really thinking they are stars of the show....guess i wont be watching next week

DH moans about the OTT costumes and the dancing time wasted at the beginning of each routine but I keep reminding him it's a family show and not just for grumpies grin

Charleygirl Sat 31-Oct-15 22:08:51

merlotgran may I join your DH's fan club? I agree with every word. It could have been done and dusted n 45 minutes.

I love all the costumes, hair and makeup on the show for Halloween, but I think tonight's show was one of the worst in years. The music choice for so many couples was atrocious, especially Carol and Pasha's Rumba.

The first year they had a Halloween theme it was brilliant, but the music fitted with the dances and the costumes. I think the producers have got it wrong in a big way ever since. The pros do their best with the song they're given and costumes they will be wearing, but I felt sorry for Carol & Pasha, Jeremy & Karen, Kellie & Kevin, Kirsty & Brendan and Katie & Anton tonight.

The only performances I enjoyed were Anita & Gleb, Helen & Aljaz and Georgia & Giovanni.

A few ...if not all...of the seasonal favourites are getting hacknied. Strictly, Apprentice, Bake Off, X Factor etc etc etc. However what would BBC and ITV do without them?

. Perhaps we need a nationwide contest to find a new formula. Any ideas? Pottery??????

petra Sun 01-Nov-15 21:13:31

Can hardly contain my excitement waiting for the pottery programme.

merlotgran Sun 01-Nov-15 21:16:43

I'm looking forward to the pottery challenge (or whatever they're calling it) grin

Thank goodness Carole is wearing something pretty tonight. Think this might be her last appearance.

Anniebach Sat 07-Nov-15 19:29:11

Peter Andre brings to mind Uriah Heep for me, if the judges said he was a disaaaaster he would say thank you

NotTooOld Sat 07-Nov-15 20:27:39

Do you think Carol said she wanted to wear something that covered her arms? Don't blame her if she did. I loved the midwife's costume - those sparkly shorts and the floaty shirt. Jay looked quite bemused again and I don't think Aliona is misbehaving with him, I think she's mothering him! Peter Andre is so-ooo nice, so polite, and I'm not even a fan. I'm going to look him up on Wiki in a minute, see what his background is. Carol must be for the chop tonight - either her or Jeremy, although he did well tonight with his plastic horse.

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 07-Nov-15 20:31:00

I like the music best.

NotTooOld Sat 07-Nov-15 20:36:03

Just looked up Peter Andre on wiki and I've gone off him. Anyone who can give a poor child the first name of Princess...........oh, dear, what a disappointment and he's so polite too............ sad

Charleygirl Sat 07-Nov-15 20:36:31

I cannot stand Jeremy and tonight was no exception. I thought that Carol did her best tonight but she has a lot of catching up to do to be on a level with eg Anita Rani. I have a feeling that Carol may go but I would like to see her there another week. I hope that Jamelia is not in the bottom two yet again. She does not deserve it. I am a fine one to speak because I do not vote until the final.

merlotgran Sat 07-Nov-15 20:37:39

Jeremy Vine makes me laugh and although I don't like Peter André I loved his charleston.

I think Carol will go this week as although she's been improving I think she has reached her limit.

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 07-Nov-15 20:39:13

Loved it when Craig spoke about Jeremy's "little bottom"! grin

Jane10 Sat 07-Nov-15 20:40:11

I agree with Anniebach about Peter Andre. He's so irritating. The 'nice boy' image must be worth a fortune to him. Cynical? Moi?

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 07-Nov-15 20:48:33

I like him.

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 07-Nov-15 20:52:24

It was amazing, that backward thing that Anita and Gleb did!

Ana Sat 07-Nov-15 20:54:57

Back in the days when he was married to the awful Katie Price I watched a few of the 'fly on the wall' programmes about their life together (sad, I know!). He really did come across as a genuinely 'nice guy', and the stuff he had to put up with from her would try the patience of a saint.

So although I can see how he might come across to some people, I still like him.

NotTooOld Sat 07-Nov-15 20:58:22

Oh, ok, Ana, I'll ignore the fact that he called his daughter Princess and carry on liking him, too. Perhaps Katie Price chose the name Princess anyway!
