Strictly 2024

I’m looking forward to seeing how Diane teaches Chris the dance moves. They’re going to have plenty of laughs along the way, that’s for sure.

I am sorry Kai is not in it not in it this year.

I noticed Kai in the group dances.

Angela Rippon must have worn him out last year.

Sorry, I was distracted, I should have said he does not have a partner this year. I lovecwatching him dance.

His ex (whose name escapes me) has partner though. They probably both couldn't!!

I agree, Kai is a lovely dancer . I’m disappointed he doesn’t have a partner this year. Hopefully he’ll feature in all the professional dances.

So happy that Strictly is back ...... I LOVE IT!!

Thanks for the thread, again, Sparklefizz.
I've not seen Strictly tonight yet. I shall watch on catch up tomorrow.
Always a big fan, I look forward to this year's showing.
Love the music, clothes & dancing!!

I’ll miss Kai this series too. I’d liked to have seen him with Toyah rather than the partner she got.

I watched it and enjoyed it, mainly the dancing, but I think I shall soon have had enough of Toyah Wilcox.

I dipped in and out and saw a dance routine for a couple of minutes. I only recognised 3 celebs and I am not at all bothered if I see any more or not but there is not a great choice elsewhere for me. All they appeared to do was chat.

As others have said this year's should have been given a rest and start afresh next year with a new format.

The biggest change I would like to see is to get the results on Saturday evening,

I only watched the first half hour or so, seemed to be a lot of chat.

I too, only know about three celebs, Shayne Ward, Toyah Wilcox and the Welsh Go Compare opera singer. No doubt they will soon become familiar.

Not really bothered the first couple or so weeks until they have eliminated a few.

I chose not to watch it this year, for me its gone bit tacky. I might have a look in on week 5 or 6.

Well, that wasn't too bad. Love your comments geannynannywany! Yes, I'd even go as far as to say Craig looks quite dishy (I actually thought he looked like Rylan). He's making Anton look quite staid and old fashioned 😉
And yes, I love Chris Causland's humour and the quip about being in the room with a GP made me laugh out loud! Not sure how he's going to fare as a dancer though - but I'm certainly looking forward to my Saturdays from now on.

Really enjoyed Strictly last night . I thought it was better than the usual opening show.
I expect I’ll get a bit fed up with it as the weeks draw on and I’ll dip in and out.

Finding Toyah rather annoying. Early days though.

This is only a personal opinion butvI think there has been a dumbing down this year. Two men Graz and Gio are not dancing, due to allegations of bullying, although Gio has denied this. Kai and Carlos Gu not having partners.
They have put Neil with Toyah, a pairing I am not sure about at the moment. I really hope I am wrong but it felt bland to me, but I will keep watching for the time being.
Agree with others about Chris very funny.

JB Gill annoyed me by referring to himself as a pop star.

JB Gill annoyed me by referring to himself as a pop star.

Who is he?

JB Gill was a pop star with JLS.

Ditto. Onto mostly 3rd rate 'celebs' that no one has heard of...lol

Hmmm - in the main it was enjoyable.
Thought that Chris was really funny!
I have an 'issue' with Nick Knowles that I can't explain, he makes my flesh crawl, that's an awful thing to say and I apologise to any Nick fans.
Paul Merson - really?!
I think that there might be some really good dancers amongst the celebs this year - we will see.

^JB Gill annoyed me by referring to himself as a pop star.

My point exactly!! He might have been a pop star but it made me embarrassed for him to refer to himself that way.

Paul Merson was also embarrassing.
