Strictly 2024

Toyah had a lot to overcome when she was young.
It's a wonder she has achieved what she has.

Oh that waltz was beautiful and Amy's dress was gorgeous. Lovely song /music.
Really enjoyed that.

Great to see Aljaz and Amy back, both with good partners too.

Toyah was really bad, Tasha is off to a good start

I can't warm to Toyah at all.

Tasha was good but it really is unfair when people have dance training.

Anton is being his usual annoying self.

Tasha and Aljaz looked incredible cha-cha-cha-ing together, but the complaints will start because Tasha is a trained dancer and model, so she has a head start.

Poor Neil.

I think his return to front line pro line up will be brief, if tonight is anything to go by.

Toyah thought she was going to be brilliant, but sadly wasn’t.

Nick was better than I expected. The jive is a hard first dance.
Sam was lovely.

Good points Esmay and I agree, which is why I am on my I pad at the same time.

Liked Sam’s dress.

👗

Just put it on .

I used to really look forward to it and anticipated watching it with my wine and chocolates .
Now I'm just not as excited by it anymore .I only recognised four of the celebrities which is no criticism on their choice , but the hype and the padding irritates me .

Well done Nick, the man did good!

Hi everyone!

Great opening sequence. Nick Knowles was better than I thought he’d be.

Hello All. I thought that was a fantastic opening sequence of dances. Did anyone else enjoy it?
Does Claudia think she is on Taskmaster tonight - she seems to have a dress (loose description) that suits that programme which she is also on, better.

She tired to wreck someone’s career and bring an end to strictly!

She is unpleasant because she left abruptly without giving any explanation, at least to the public, some of whom would be fans. She is a professionally trained dancer so she knew dancers do not indulge in all the lovey-dovey -ness she seemed to expect; there simply isn't time. After several weeks she began releasing snippets of innuendo, then when the show was over and everyone dispersed she made allegations, which just happened to coincide with the opening of a play in which she was appearing.
It seems to have been a clash of personalities. It happens, but usually without the attempt at wrecking someone's career and taking out a popular show.

Perhaps Debbie Magee and Rose could move faster

I am glad the BBC continued with the programme, otherwise the unpleasant Amanda Abbington would have been able to spoil the careers of all the participants and the enjoyment of fans because she wasn't 'loved' enough.

Why is she unpleasant, she seems to be very upset by this. I can't I can't say anything about Gio but what one person can deal with others can't.
Maybe Gio training was not right for Amanda but Debbie Magee and Rose did not complain.

Has the BBC said she lied ?

Paul Merson was arrested for assaulting his wife, not such a sweetheart.

I was a little disappointed that my least favourite celeb from the group has been partnered with my favourite professional. I love Karen and was sorry to see her paired with Paul Merson. I wonder how the pairings are decided and if the professionals have any say in it.

Paul Merson is an absolute sweetheart, Grannynannywanny, I promise.

I think the partnership with Amy and JB Gill will be a good one.
Pete Wicks I think will be good, he looks surly but I have a feeling he can dance.
Strickly is also about celebs who can't dance but show improvement. I saw this with Bill Bailey and Oti on a previous series.

If he is dancing who is going to look after the turkeys in the run up to Christmas 🤔

His wife presumably, as well as doing everything else, like all long-suffering farmers' wives!

Perhaps modesty isn’t one of his traits kittylester, no doubt we’ll find out. I do think he might be able to dance though.
