catwoman Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Rumours are that Anton is getting a youngster this time, and that Linda Bellingham is with Darren Bennett, but again, just speculation and rumour! Lets hope! Every year he gets someone who is not quite as good as the rest. i would like him to have someone good. I would also like to see Brian more this year. I love his accent. His voice reminds me of my partner so much, and he has such a way with words hehe. I don't want Brendan to get too far. He always annoys me. Especially at the end of the last series. I wanted to slap him with a wet kipper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mia Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I can't stand Brendan, he's an arrogant little . And I don't like Brian either (sorry!). I like Darren, Lilia, Flavia and Vincent (he makes me laugh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Darren too. I liked the woman who had Jon Sargent last year (Has mental block and can't remember her name.) I hope she will have an amazing dancer this year I think her cherography could be amazing. The same with Brian and his crazy flying feet!! Oh and I adore (again anotehr mental block) The guy who had Christine last year. he is soo sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyshake Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I remember Dennis Taylor saying that Ronnie O'Sullivan was a fantastic dancer and that he'd quite like to do Strictly .... now that I would love to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie2008 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I can't stand Brendan, he's an arrogant little . And I don't like Brian either (sorry!). I hate Brendan too. I think he's a good dancer but I cannot stand him. He always thinks he's so much better than everyone else, and I think he seems to get partnered with good people every year, unlike Anton who always seems to get the not so good (Anton is my favourite ).

Janet Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Did Alesha ever train as a dancer? Is it still Bruice that going to be taking and if yes he must be some age.

Mia Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Mmm... Can't say I'm that impressed, but I'm sure I'll pick someone to root for. I hope Anton gets someone decent too, he always seems to get a no-hoper. The girl who danced with John Sargeant was Christina I think. I quite liked her too, but I couldn't warm to Hayley, who will not be in it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie2008 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 There's no one that stands out for me straight away either. I still love the show and at least I have heard of most of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i will root for Rav... For obvious reasons . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 The couples are: Ali Bastion & Brian FortunaLynda Bellingham & Darren Bennett Natalie Cassidy & Vincent Simone Martina Hingis & Matthew Cutler Jade Johnson & Ian Waite Zoe Lucker & James Jordan Laila Rouass & Anton Du Beke Jo Wood & Brendan Cole Joe Calzaghe & Kristina Rihanoff Richard Dunwoody & Lilia Kopylova Ricky Groves & Erin Boag Chris Hollins & Ola Jordan Craig Kelly & Flavia Cacace Phil Tufnell & Katya Virshilas (new professional) Ricky Whittle & Natalie Lowe (new professional) Rav Wilding & Aliona Vilani (new professional) I'm a bit disappointed Lilia hasn't got someone younger, as she's had a couple of years without a shot at a final, and I don't hold out much hope for Richard Dunwoody, and I'm glad Anton's got a youngster for a change, but apart from that, no-one particularly stands out for me. Don't know why, but this year looks more promising than last year for some reason, although I'm gonna miss Karen, but at least she and Camilla are going to be giving their opinions on It Takes Two.

chesilbeach Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 OMG!!! I did not notice that?! Why is Camilla not in it??? Camilla announced she was leaving earlier this year. I think she decided to quit while she was ahead, and leave on a high after winning last year. Maybe she had an inkling that changes were afoot and she wanted to leave on her own terms rather than not be asked back like Arlene, Karen and Hayley.

(Hopes I have that right.) If it is I did not like her routenes I think if mark had someone better I think he could have got a bit further. All she did was make him stomp from one end of the dance floor to the other. I have just been on the BEEB's website and looked at the celebs and who they are and there are a couple 'know' or seen on adverts etc, and I have a little more like towards them. A few Eye candy for the ladies *wink wink* I still don't know a couple of the people as they are in Hollyoaks etc. But one of the guys looks very nice and could well be my fav hehe. *Starts to get all excited and jumps up and down* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Celebs overcoming their nerves, celebs out of their comfort zones, the athleticism, the hot women, the judges, Bruce and Tess, the fact it's live telly and anything can happen, and the way the pros get really competitive and push their partners to train long hours.Here's another salsa video from YouTube, Amazing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hayley was the NZ dancer right? Yup, that's the one. *Starts to get all excited and jumps up and down* Tell me about it!!! I've been immersed in Strictly for the last week, and I'm desperate for it to start now, especially after all the announcements today! Celebs overcoming their nerves, celebs out of their comfort zones, the athleticism, the hot women, the judges, Bruce and Tess, the fact it's live telly and anything can happen, and the way the pros get really competitive and push their partners to train long hours. Pretty much the same for me, although I prefer the hot guys to the hot women! I did enjoy Matt & Flavia's Salsa, but my favourite ever dance (as can be seen by my avatar ) is Mark & Karen's Argentine Tango. I still get goosebumps watching it, and when the scores are given out, I get all teary along with Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie2008 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I'm not a fan either. I don't mind him but he does easily annoy me.

Anton on the other hand, I adore him I hope his partner is better than the ones he has had in the past I'm so glad there are some other Anton fans here On another forum I look at, most of them can't stand him, but I think he's funny and charming, and I don't care if he can't really do the latin dances because he's a ballroom specialist, at least he has fun and is entertaining.

I've just made the big step up to real website A lot of hard work, but I've loved it, and I am now officially ultimatestrictly.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 If never really had much luck with website layouts and things like that, it just goes straight over my head - I've only just started blogging again. However I imagine having a proper website makes it feel a lot different than to say, having all the information on a wordpress blog or something along those lines. But yes, you seem to do a great job with it all, so well done you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mia Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Chesilbeach, your site looks really good! I'll have to check it out properly when I have more time. I forgot to say that out of the professionals, I also like Ola. I think she is an excellent dancer and very sexy when she dances (and I say that as a heterosexual female!). I don't mind Phil Tuffnell, he makes me laugh. When does this series actually start anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
