Strictly Come Dancing 2024 #17

I don't mind Toyah but I think she's gonna be grating in the coming weeks.
And what on earth is going on with her teeth

 

[Chita]

At least we know who most of them are this series.

I don't.

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

I’ve now gotta brace myself for the three hour slogs we’ve gotta put in for the next few weeks

 

[Geetbo]

When I heard he was cast I thought he might be quite good. It’s quite a feat that I detest him before the competition has actually started.

Yeah I used to fancy the absolute arse off him back in the day and now I’d honestly rather ride Neil.

 

[coconochanel]

argh I'm so gutted Shayne is an ick I bleeping love that first album he did

Not as much of an ick as Pete though.

 

[LowCalCalzoneZone]

I really enjoyed that group dance . Paul and Toyah looked the most wooden (relieved Punam actually looked pretty decent!). Montell looked v good indeed

Actually the whole launch show was a lot less awkward that I was expecting. Maybe a bit too much enforced jollity and laughing at every single gag but it wasn't really nice to see everyone looking really happy to be there? Like, there was no obvious regret - even Paul looked like he was having a good time

I am going to struggle with Shayne and Toyah and their mahoosive egos (and maybe Sam a bit too) but everyone else seemed nice. At least Toyah will be entertaining in her odd way

 

[Chita]

Please take Micheal's name out of this equation. Blasphemy!

It's the hair.

 

[ChastityDingle]

I don't.

Me neither. But I don't care, we get to know them anyway as the weeks go by.

 

[Sibz]

Shayne's vibe now

 

[glasgow27]

Of the likely more mid pack celebs - Sam, Pete & Wynne are all boosted by their pros.

 

[Boogs]

Yeah I used to fancy the absolute arse off him back in the day and now I’d honestly rather ride Neil.

Put the glass down and back away from the alcohol now. You’ve gone too far…

 

[coconochanel]

Sarah's cheesy grin is already annoying me.

 

[Reality_tv_lover]

Not as much of an ick as Pete though.

I think equal ick

 

[Fillyjonk]

I really love Punam, I so want her to be a dark horse and deliver our first bhangra ceilidh fusion.

 

[Sorbettolimone]

Sarah is friends with Russell Tovey - hoping some guest appearances from him! Loved Russell since Being Human.

I met him a few times in various bars in London, my guncle and quite a few of his good friends are mates with Steve Brockman ... Russell's ex.
Russell Tovey is a lovely chatty nice fella.

 

[JCMSadie]

Me neither. But I don't care, we get to know them anyway as the weeks go by.

Same. I don't watch soaps, sports, reality tv or influencers so I never know at least half the cast and it never actually matters once things get going. I'd honestly watch if even if the non-pros were just randoms off the street.

 

[Chita]

Me neither. But I don't care, we get to know them anyway as the weeks go by.

I learned a long time ago that I enjoy the show a lot more when I don't know who they are or anything about them beforehand.

 

[Renegadedancer]

Shocked no partner for Lauren or Carlos. I’m weirdly pleased that Neil has a partner , Toyah is mad as a box of frogs. Shayne is going to be good but gives me the massive Ick. My faves so far are Jojo and Montell and Gorks and Dr Punam.
On a side note Craig looks like he’s aged ten years. The beard is not doing him any favours.

 

[SeraSparkle]

Me neither. But I don't care, we get to know them anyway as the weeks go by.

Yeah I bond to them as 'strictly celebs' if I have never heard of them befofe

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Still blows my mind Katya and Neil were married

I’m guessing you’ve never seen their weird AF lip sync wedding video?
