That really good can't wait to hit the dance floor with me and Jazzy she will be good at it and so look forward to see the dancing on Strictly and how much they will learn.xx👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗💙💙💙💙💙💙💙👍💖💖💖💖👍
so we've had a couple of weeks now and without wanting to sound too premature i definitely think 3 finalists will be Aston, Alexandra and Debbie McGee. who do i think is going to win? i think it will be either Alexandra or Aston but not sure which. as for this week sadly i think it is either Brian or the reverand for the boot although Ruth and Charlotte will have to improve.
Alexandra is really, really good. They are already making the Rev look like a joke contestant. Aston is light on his feet (looks like an all-rounder, hope he's not lazy). Jonnie has one lazy leg, then I realised he's... Interesting how he's going to do heel leads and stuff. This year there appears more good female contestants. The two male actors (EE and Holby) are flat footed. Will they improve? We'll see. Brian has good timing but he may lack stamina. Dark horse might be Debbie. The rest of the female celebs so far, all merge into some generic blond bombshells in different coloured dresses (hence Chizzy and Susan stand out, I am not sure whether that's for the right reason yet)... I know I have missed LOT more, but I'll watch the launch show at home once I finish work!
Scd Observer 100% agree. Alexandra looks to be absolutely fantastic already! Her and Gorka will be one of the stand out couples in the competition, he's got a good one on his hands this year. Agree all of the blonde bombshells didn't really stand out from the crowd, but we'll have to wait and see I guess. Oti's partner might have some potential but Danny was truly exceptional, I doubt he'll be of that calibre, but again we will have to wait and see how it plays out. I agree with you though, this year the female celebrities show more promise than the male ones, whereas it was the opposite case last year lol. Looking forward to seeing all of the dances in two weeks time!
EE actor is that Indian looking younger and buffer version of Mark Ramprakash. Holby is that smiley Irish cheeky looking guy. There is another Holby actor, that's Chizzy...
1 Ruth & Anton 9th on 12/11/17 2 Davood & Nadiya 6th on 3/12/17 3 Mollie & AJ 5th on 10/12/17 4 Brian & Amy 12th on 22/10/17 5 Chizzy & Pasha 15th on 1/10/17 6 Simon & Karen 11th on 29/10/17 7 Debbie & Giovanni 3rd on 16/12/17 8 Aston & Janette 10th on 5/11/17 9 Gemma & Alijaz 2nd on 16/12/17 10 Rev Richard & Dianne 14th on 8/10/17 11 Charlotte & Brendan 13th on 15/10/17 12 Joe & Katya 1st on 16/12/17 13 Susan & Kevin 7th on 26/11/17 14 Jonnie & Oti 8th on 19/11/17 15 Alexandra & Gorka 4th on 16/12/17
I think Chizzy's personality is really going to benefit her! Like just from this dance alone I'd say she's pretty confident (which already made her stand out a bit to me)
The Reverend is going to have trouble. The emotionless expression on his face told me that he was so busy counting the steps in his head that he didn't and couldn't really connect to the dance at all. He'd be the first one out on DWTS.
It’s taking me awhile to tell Mollie and Gemma apart! Some of them just look so happy to be there and that makes me smile. I’ve taken a warming to Debbie, Charlotte and Joe, I have no clue why but I hope they do well. We’ll just have to wait and see how they do!
Joe looks so terrified and awkward, but I hope he blossoms. At the moment, Aston looks like the male front runner and Alexandre and Mollie the leading females, but the best at the beginning often aren't the best at the end.
Alexandra is feisty and ambitious so I predict that she will be in the final, at the very least. I'm not keen on Mollie and AJ together and think she should have been paired with Aljaz instead.
Yeah, but it's not like he's a teenager or something. Peter Andre was eleven years older than Janette and they made a good pair. There were ten years between Louisa Lytton and Vincent Simone. If they don't make a good pair, it's not necessarily because of age. I'm glad AJ's got someone a bit older this time round, because they were so patronising to him and Claudia last year.
Just me that thinks there trynna turn dianne into girl version of anton by trynna give them the predicted “bad” ones like 2017 she got reverend who was obviously no the best just by watching this and then giving her joe as joe said he couldn’t even walk in straight line and has never danced sober, tbh it just proves how good she is as she got joe to the final !!
contenders: Ruth, Mollie and Aston disappointing: Charlotte, joe and chizzy flat: Joe Jonnie joke: richard and Brian middle of the road: Susan, Debbie hot: Gemma, Mollie, Alexandra now for what there best for best dancer: Aston best comedy: Richard best rhythm: Ruth best of the worst: Simon best entertainer: Susan best nothing: Brian let's hope we get more for week 1
penny and fishy old channel [quit] Best rhythm.. Ruth?! Best dancer.. Aston is very good, but I think Alexandra is coming across as the best of the bunch. She's going to be the dark horse in the competition this year.
so you got all that from a 2 and a half minute routine that they learnt in 2 days without knowing who their partners would be? I'd say judge them after week 1 when they've had a chance to work with their partner for a bit
Hey, God wants to save you! He sent Jesus His son to save us God human form so that if you trust in that fact that He died to take your punishment of evil and not only that but rose again and defeated that evil you can be saved, like Trust the only perfect one guys no joke repent and believe in Him follow Him He sets you free from your problems dear one, love you❤️
Not many of this bunch can be called Celebrities!! I've seen that guy who was in Heartbeat before and there's that awful woman who married to the Irish bloke Eamon something! Oh yes, Paul Daniels' wife...not really a celebrity but she seems nice. Real shame about Brucie, the two women who host it now are dreadful, have to push the "mute" button when they come on.
Took a glimpse at today's opening show (as I always do) but soon noted that not only had contestants largely not again been selected on potential dancing ability but that the show's political agenda had yet become more entrenched i.e. 'We must be balanced and promote queer, black, handicapped, and fat.' Had I watched for more than a few minutes I feel confident that they would have had 'old' covered too! Again, as much as I love dancing, I will give the show a miss and avoid vomiting or attempted liberal brainwashing.
Ivan Sanders I'd rather the show be liberal and include diversity, than be bigoted and backwards as you obviously seem to be. Bye bye, you really won't be missed 👋🏽
Ivan: Like Scd Observer said, the show doesn't solely pick contestants who have potential. That's never been the point of Strictly. In fact it's funny that you're complaining about Strictly not choosing based on dance potential, because usually complaints have been about celebs with too much potential being ringers. The fact is people don't always watch Strictly solely for great dancing. Remember when people kept voting to keep (the famously balletic and nimble) John Sargeant in? If you want contestants who all dance amazingly, this is not and has never been the show for you. It's like turning up to a comedy and being upset that it isn't a horror film. Strictly includes a variety of celebs (varying in background: age, profession, personality, ethnicity ... or whatever else) so everybody in the audience finds a favourite they find inspiring or identify with. And the "handicapped" members of the audience (and the public at large) don't just disappear if their "agenda" isn't "promoted" on TV. And in any case, it looks like Alexandra and Aston (two of the black celebs) are among the celebs with the strongest potential this series. If you do come back when Strictly properly starts up in two weeks, I hope you'll be able to put aside the paranoia and just enjoy the dancing.
Ivan Sanders Strictly Come Dancing contestants "queer, black, handicapped, fat " ?... Maybe you should write to the BBC and complain, making it clear that all the contestants should be heterosexual, 'white', able-bodied and slim. PMSL ... 😩 SMH.

Yes, Ali, it's exciting that Strictly is here again! Yipee! Can't wait to watch the launch show...

Good: Alexandra, Mollie, Aston, Debbie, Davood
Average: Susan, Gemma, Brian, Jonnie
Bad: Ruth, Charlotte, Simon
Not Sure: Richard, Joe, Chizzy
I think Chizzy's personality is really going to benefit her! Like just from this dance alone I'd say she's pretty confident (which already made her stand out a bit to me)
I thought Susan did really well
Laura D I thought Ruth was good
She does seem fun!
Laura D also you sad simon is bad look at him from 1:59 to the end of the dance + you aid Ruth and Simon were had obviously you weren't watching them!
Gemma for the win.
I love Mollie and aj
Nice
amazing cast
Love it 💜💜💜💜
The Reverend is going to have trouble. The emotionless expression on his face told me that he was so busy counting the steps in his head that he didn't and couldn't really connect to the dance at all. He'd be the first one out on DWTS.
Lee Cox you don't know that lol
Just judging from the past 2 or 3 years, he'd probably make it to the semi-finals or so there lol
Beautiful dancing cut loose
First like, Great Dance go Susan
how am i nostalgic over something that happened 4 months ago
Top 3: Alexandra, Mollie and Aston!
Liv Jane Gemma should be there
penny and fishy old channel [quit] well she isnt
I think cush from estenders will win or raf from Holby city or mo from Holby city maybe Simon from Sunday brunch
Liv Jane your wrong my dad works for strictly and the have filmed who win but I will not tell you
Chizzy might win or Charlotte
SMASH IT UP!!!!!!! 👊
2:20 Charlotte Hawkins missing the cue gets me every time😂
Gives me Nancy Dell'Olio flashbacks every time she was in a group dance 😬! There's always one
I really Love Susan ❤️
Ross why?
penny and fishy old channel [quit] - Why? Because she's a great comedian and I've seen her many times!
I love Joe ❤
It’s taking me awhile to tell Mollie and Gemma apart! Some of them just look so happy to be there and that makes me smile. I’ve taken a warming to Debbie, Charlotte and Joe, I have no clue why but I hope they do well. We’ll just have to wait and see how they do!
Alexandra, pottential Winner ♥️♥️♥️
Top 3: Gemma, Aston, Mollie
Mason M I Agree.
Joe looks so terrified and awkward, but I hope he blossoms. At the moment, Aston looks like the male front runner and Alexandre and Mollie the leading females, but the best at the beginning often aren't the best at the end.
Mollie Alexandra Davood and Gemma contenders
Dianneee😍🤩🙌❤️
Anton nearly dropped Nadiya at 1:53!!!
That's brendan
Sorry Brendan not brendan
I think dancing with the stars have better production, but strictly come dancing pros are amazing!
1:46 presenting the rev
ALEXANDRA HAS TO WIN!!
Alexandra is feisty and ambitious so I predict that she will be in the final, at the very least. I'm not keen on Mollie and AJ together and think she should have been paired with Aljaz instead.
Giovanni at 2:20
Kevin's face when he gets to dance with alexandra
Did anyone else think Mollie looked disappointed to get AJ. She is 30 and he is 22. I don't think the pair will jel well.
Thomas McNeilly Yeah I think she got him cos he needs a small partner.
Yeah, but it's not like he's a teenager or something. Peter Andre was eleven years older than Janette and they made a good pair. There were ten years between Louisa Lytton and Vincent Simone. If they don't make a good pair, it's not necessarily because of age. I'm glad AJ's got someone a bit older this time round, because they were so patronising to him and Claudia last year.
His best partner was last year shame they didn't win
I thought Patrick Stewart was gonna be in this year's series😔Would have liked to see him dance☺
Don't think Kevin will get too the final this year
Robert Low hey Just cause she isn't a super model don't underestimate the Calman!
You never know you might be wrong. I think she's improved so I think they'll go far. No offence. No hate
Sophie Greenham - Shes made it to week 6 and on top of that is super super popular and has a massive fan base, I say watch this space!!
ASton joe jonnie charlotte Debbie Ruth and simon have got potential
Oh how I miss team #pocketrockets!
Bianca Stanley same
And like
it’s only now i’m noticing how pale jonnie is
same dude same
lol
chizzy and pasha interesting partenship
I don't know anyone on this year's show only Brian Conley and Debbie don't know her surname lol.
Alexandra or mollie to win
I hope Aston wins
go ruth
I think Mollie and Aj will win
Robert Low I Do As Well Their My Favorite!
Alexandra would have this in the bag but unfortunately the public may not like her🙄
R M Well they liked her enough to vote her the winner of X Factor, so I think she'll be one of the favourites. Here's hoping!🤞🏼
Ali_91 true but that's when no one knew her and when reality tv was totally different and not down to popularity :(
Just me that thinks there trynna turn dianne into girl version of anton by trynna give them the predicted “bad” ones like 2017 she got reverend who was obviously no the best just by watching this and then giving her joe as joe said he couldn’t even walk in straight line and has never danced sober, tbh it just proves how good she is as she got joe to the final !!

penny and fishy old channel [quit]
Best rhythm.. Ruth?!
Best dancer.. Aston is very good, but I think Alexandra is coming across as the best of the bunch. She's going to be the dark horse in the competition this year.
so you got all that from a 2 and a half minute routine that they learnt in 2 days without knowing who their partners would be? I'd say judge them after week 1 when they've had a chance to work with their partner for a bit
Simon Gray Looool right? It's way too early to judge..
Simon Gray well I'm judging how they did in that dance so
penny and fishy old channel [quit] Well if you think Ruth has the best rhythm out of all of them, then I don't quite trust your judgement...
do not think kevin will make it with susan the jokes brian and rev coles
First comment
Edie rose to the same is true and will be able
Hey, God wants to save you! He sent Jesus His son to save us God human form so that if you trust in that fact that He died to take your punishment of evil and not only that but rose again and defeated that evil you can be saved, like Trust the only perfect one guys no joke repent and believe in Him follow Him He sets you free from your problems dear one, love you❤️
At 1:53 did anyone else see her fall?
Who and where?
George Rogers one of the new pros
Jazz_Edits where?
penny and fishy old channel [quit] the couple in the middle back row blonde hair
- CatMinkz - Well spotted
Molly and AJ don't make a good pairing. The chemistry will be off but time will tell!
Poor Susan lol she is so small I know how ya feel girl lol
hannah banana - Small people have fiery souls and fire under there feet. I think she'll be just fine!
hannah banana Confused...being small is an advantage as a dancer...the models have a disadvantage.
Can Richard like stop being so cringey and creepy
Not many of this bunch can be called Celebrities!! I've seen that guy who was in Heartbeat before and there's that awful woman who married to the Irish bloke Eamon something! Oh yes, Paul Daniels' wife...not really a celebrity but she seems nice. Real shame about Brucie, the two women who host it now are dreadful, have to push the "mute" button when they come on.
What's the point in watching the show if you are just complaining about it? Just because you don't know them doesn't mean they aren't celebrities
