Early in the series it's important to get it early, because you need to line the stomach for the alcohol required to get through the slog that is the 2hour plus early shows that have too much filler and not enough dancing in.

Yes my thinking is given the length of tomorrows show if I order it to arrive at the start, I’ll be able to go back for the leftovers before the show has even finished 😅
 
Who wants to have a game of predicting (whoever the winner is) what their trajectory will be?

For the options I have used more recent previous winners trajectories:

Option 1: Have a decent week 1, 2 & 3 but then have a WOW dance in week 4 then be the nailed on winner to the end.

Option 2: Have a WOW dance week 1 then be the nailed on winner to the end.

Option 3: Have a journey, some great dances, some weaker dances, with some WOW dances mixed in.

Option 4: Have a journey with some great and weaker dances but hitting form with a WOW dance later on in the competition.

I'm personally hoping for an Option 3 but given the last number of years I wont hold my breath

I'd like an Option 4 dark horse kind of winner but that's about as likely as Gilkisson going "You know what, we don't really need a fashion or West Side Story themed dance this year."

Definitely Options 3 or 4. I really want a few potential winners in the mix, so it's more unpredictable.
 
I quite like an Option 1 with continued pressure from equal or better (on paper) dancers. Great chemistry with their pro and a dry sense of humour/sarcasm if possible please. I dislike sappiness and desperate appeals for votes 😁

Lauren looks gorgeous in that teaser, I'm really looking forward to her routines and choreo with Krishnan!

As for the 5 cha-chas, half the time they're not recognisable as a cha-cha particularly with the weaker dancers! Or someone decides it's a good idea to do a disco cha-cha 🥴 Or a salsambcha or whatever Monkseal used to call it!

I'd say 5 really good contestants, 3 who are proper contenders to win (perhaps had a little bit of a journey) and 2 who are ringers to just give top class routines. I think that's the ideal level of talent for a series.

Who are the ringers this year?

I’d really like a year where we end up with 3-4 real contenders going into the last few weeks. The last few years there’s been an obvious front runner who has run, even when the others have been good, I’d love a final where it’s anyone’s for the taking

It’s really boring when it becomes obvious there’s a clear front runner. So hopefully this year there will be a handful of potential finalists.
