Strictly Come Dancing 2019

I can go one better, I know 4!

Oh by X* we will know them all like old friends. Which is of course why they do it.

I know seven

Rubbish, it may propel me forward to learn a language or something useful.

It's burnt out.

I dont care, I love it. I'll add my usual comment. I hope no one's Mum joins gn to encourage us to vote for their offspring. That still rankles.

I quite like the Made in Chelsea chap but cant remember his name. I like Mike Bushell too but dont expect him to last long.

I shall watch regardless

Let it go, let it go ???? ?

I had never heard of Jo Sugg or Stacey Dooley from last year but soon got to know, and like them. So I guess the same will happen this year.
I have heard of 7 and recognised 2 more but didn't know their names.

I know petra. I'm still so cross I think I'm mentally scarred for life by the experience.

Looks a brilliant mix of celebs. Doesn't bother me that I don't know some. New judge and new pro dancers too.

2018 was such a success. Light entertainment at its best for me.

Looking forward to ITT starting up again too.

Burnt out? - NNNNNOOOOOOO!! I love it!!!!!

Anneka Rice, James Cracknell and Mike Bushell. That's all I recognise so far. Must have spent the last several months/years in a cave, obv....

We always get the moaners about it but I have found a brilliant website where no-one is allowed to carry on about who has had more dance experience than anyone else, its all a fix and who is and isn't snogging whoever, stuff like that, it is a breath of fresh air to just comment about the dancing, although I don't mind hearing about a bit of snogging. Looking forward to it.

Oh, Avor2 a bit of snogging What are you like? (Can you tell us the website so I can keep up with the snogging too? Ta)

I love it too. We soon get to know every one as the weeks go on.

Whose mother came on GN? I am intrigued.

Susannah Reid`s mum, Dragonfly. Talk about a campaign!!

Gosh I am shocked! callgirl1

As I said, I was traumatised! It ruined it for me that year - both strictly and this thread!

I know I should 'let it go' but I found it really pushy.

It just won't be the same without (my) Pasha!!!!!!

kitty I agree, many of us were taken for a ride.

As long as Gorka the Corker is still on it I am happy!

Avor2, please tell us the lovely website where no bitching is allowed. I'm already fed up reading comments about someone married to a dancer which apparently equates to him having an unfair advantage. I'm just glad he's not married to a surgeon and wants to try doing that himself. I love the costumes, the routines, the hairstyles etc, even when the dancing isn't great there are things to appreciate I don't know why we need to know the people who are in it, it's merely escapism on a Saturday evening for me. My only down side of the show is it means winter will be here much sooner than I'd like it to be.

Well said RomyP!

Interesting comment RomyP "someone married to a dancer which apparently equates to him having an unfair advantage"....

Seriously, one would expect it SHOULD create an advantage, in that he/she can practise away from the studio with someone who knows how to dance, but I can promise you, (as a dancer,) after 26 years of trying to turn my husband into a dancer, I am no further forward.
