Chris Hemsworth was on it??

yyyyyeeeesss!

Why am I only just finding out Chris hemsworth did DWTS….. this is incredibly important information

i only know because they showed him clips on graham norton once and he nearly died of shame

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Why does everyone hate Neil?!

Hello I can only answer for myself but I don’t hate him. On the scale of love and hate I’m more in hate territory mind.
He’s just one of these people that annoys me by being.
He’s too cheesy it comes across as cringe, his instagram-seriously check his Instagram it’s ick level 100.
He’s awkward in the background. Was there ever a reason given why he wouldn’t let Anneka have her cup in the shot?

 

[Spanor511]

I do like Neil. I think he’s funny and fair play to him he plugs on every year collecting that pay cheque.

 

[UnknownTattler]

Speaking of Neil being cringe, have you seen this?

a
Chris Hemsworth was on it??

lol, yeah, it was 2006, I think. Here's his samba. He was pretty decent (by the lower-than-Strictly standard ofc) and got about halfway IIRC.





I had (and have) less than zero interest in Home and Away (or Neighbours, whichever one he was on,) but he was memorably gorgeous enough that I was like 'hey, it's the hottie from DWTS! ' when I saw him in the 2009 Star Trek movie.

This is bonkers. They're both off their absolute rocker.

 

[ChastityDingle]

Tony will probably get votes based on likeability, and from people's memories of his footballing career.
Watching him reminded me of the time Kevin Kilbane took part in Dancing on Ice.

Definitely not cut out for dancing, either of them, but couldn't help liking them anyway.

I see Motsi has been in the Boney M dressing up box again.

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

it’s similar with rugby, matt was small and quicker, whereas the kenny logan/ben cohen/gavin henson types were only great for lifts really!

Same with Austin Healey: not too bulky, pretty nippy & light on his feet

thinking of rugby players on strictly has made me remember gavin henson greeting his own toddler daughter with “oh hiya, alright?” when she came into the training room

Every word out of Gavin’s mouth was comedy gold!

Shes crazy like a fool

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

Gavin and Katya were one of the best partnerships Strictly has ever given us

They were THE best! I’m still perpetually saddened that the ‘Gav & Kat’s Sitcom Spectacular’ that I dreamed up in my head never became an actual thing.

i was trying to remember if austin did this or dancing on ice! i was getting him confused with kyran bracken

Speaking of Neil being cringe, have you seen this?

I am honestly still baffled at the prospect of Neil & Katya’s marriage ever having been anything other than an arrangement that facilitated their dance partnership.

 

[lavendervase]

I never understand why the boxers are so tit on Strictly. I always assumed they would be half decent because having good footwork is part of being a boxer lol

Genuinely thought you were talking about mens undergarments here and was very confused.

Speaking of Neil being cringe, have you seen this?

No I couldn’t watch it all I’ve cringed so much I am inside out

 

[Melanysus]

Really late to the party, but just caught up on Week 1. This series overall will be a difficult one for me as I've always watched SCD with my sister, but sadly she passed away earlier this year, so it will be some heavy-hearted viewing.

All that said... a solid opener. I don't think it was as solid as last year's Week 1, but overall entertaining with quite a few strong contenders. Favourite routines for me were Hamza, Molly, the two Ellies, and Fleur -- even though her dance wasn't a cha-cha-cha.

I'm probably in a minority that doesn't mind Fleur as a person, though admittedly I've only really seen her when she's performing music (read: seldom). I agree with the judges that she should rein it in; as with her dancing generally, she attacks her moves too much. It will be interesting to see how/if she softens up as the competition progresses, especially for the ballroom dances.

I also agree with the consensus on here that the scores were over the place and a handful of dances in the first half were undermarked compared to later dances. I think Kym should've scored higher than she did, while I really didn't get the ooh-ing and aah-ing over Will. I kept forgetting his routine was meant to be a jive.

As for comedy reliefs: Tony is definitely one with that hot mess of a 'tango', which I was disappointed in from Katya. I also still don't know what to make of Richie.

Hahaha yeah I’ve seen it a few times it gets weirder with every watch.

Just a pair of Calvin Kleins on the dance floor would still get 10s from Shirley

 

[Sprezza]

Speaking of Neil being cringe, have you seen this?

I don't know what I was expecting when I pressed play but it wasn't that

 

[LoopyLou47]

hate to summon his name, neil probably could have done too.

I get the feeling Neil is so far in the closet he's like a too small pair of sparkly hotpants. He would too be terrified to agree to a same sex partnership.

 

[hogwartsgraduate]

I think the problem is that the footballers they’ve managed to wrangle are mainly the big units. They need a nippy one like a Michael Owen or a Stevie Gerrard.

Micheal Owen was in the last The Masked Singer - he may be up for it

 

[Holmessk]

Hahaha yeah I’ve seen it a few times it gets weirder with every watch.

What’s the song?? I can't bare to unmute it!
