Only another month to go so I thought we'd better get the new thread up and running
I don't know many of this year's contestants so far but I guess we'll get to know them as the show continues. I see there are already comments that some of them have previous dance training.
Ellie was great. Loved Nigel and for the first time I really enjoyed Annabelle. Angela R over marked again., thinking they are trying to get her to Blackpool.
Someone on twitter reckons the bbc are keen to get Angela Rippon to Blackpool so she can do a big nostalgia piece. Nothing would surprise me. I loved Layton's Argentine Tango. Angela Scanlon is being let down by her partner I think. She's a much better dancer than we are seeing now
I really hope Blackpool isn’t going to turn into a nostalgic walk down memory lane with Angela Rippon, and for that reason, I hope she goes tomorrow.
Oh goodness! I couldn't stand even more attention given to AR. The judges made no allowances for Strictly contestants dancing with only one leg ... why keep making allowances for AR's age?
