    Yea. The usual suspects are assembling.

    The quality if the rumoured line up is so bad - I might even start drinking again (& I've hardly drunk at all for last couple of months).

    The thing is, i'm never bothered about how z-list the cast are, as long as they're willing to give it their all & make the most of the opportunity. There will always be people in the cast however, that I can't stand for some reason or another & if the rumours about Julien McDonald & Vanessa Feltz are true, then my liver is going to take a battering :cry::p

    Definite eye candy. ;) He'll be another dancing wardrobe though, but a pretty dancing wardrobe. :D

    Widdy aside, I loved series 8. Probably our best year for nicknames :D

    The spoiler thread conga when Widdy was finally eliminated was pretty funny too :D

    Are we sure that the journalists have not just come on here and picked up on the detective work for the celebs thread?

    I do wonder that sometimes - people on the celeb thread are so convinced that their 'detective work' has uncovered somebody that I bet journalists just report what they have seen on there.

    I wondered that too. Isn't it a bit early to be using twitter follows as a clue, surely they won't know yet who their fellow contestants are?

    Oh, entirely possible. But he wouldn't be a terrible idea. He has pretty eyes.

    Anyone here heard about possibles? What about those working in the meeedja?

    Exactly - I guess following pros might be a bit of a clue, but to then extrapolate that out to other celebs that they are following is just clutching at straws.

    After the massive success of Russell and Richard (neither of whom they had to drag bodily to the halfway mark via inflated scores and saving them in the dance-off no sir) obviously the effeminate mo is a box that must be ticked.

    Personally I'm hoping, if it's true, that this "CRAZY UNCLE JULIAN!!!" facade he's erected in recent years crumbles within a week and he reverts back to the miserable snipey little gremlin he always presented as before. Starts telling Janette that she needs to lose weight if they're going to have any chance of winning. That sort of thing.

    Have you ever considered going into marketing? Because that just sold me and it HAS to happen just for the lolz.

    Series 8 was one of our finest. Artem is rubbish, the bandwagon, FAN WARZ, Gavbot and Katya, Norman Deadnan.

    Even though I started it, was it also the year of Strictly Bingo or did the list come the year after?

    I think that we came up with the ideas/categories during series 8 & you launched it at the beginning of 9.

    Series 8 also had Smug Farmer and Bad Tranny :D

    Oh yeah! It was Norman being so good at Bingo that triggered it. :D

    I hope we get another vintage year, as Monkseal said, it's the year for another Strictly Goddess to join the Holy Trinity of Jill/Alesha/Kara.

    I love that we all dismiss Kerplunk as just being a blip :D

    Well, she didn't even want to be there, as she so wonderfully reiterated a couple of days ago. Thought it would ruin her credibility as a newsreader. :D

    Plus series one never happened. ;)

    Don't the producers realise that just having one male eye candy celeb is bad news. If they really want to split the eye candy/male totty vote they should be providing at least 5 or 6 eye candy male celebs for us to vote for (thus splitting the "Vagina" vote.

    I'm unappreciating the feeling of manipulation that I'm sensing.

    I'll admit that I wanted Chris Parker to win series 1, in my defense, series 1 was a new thing & the focus was on it being a charity thing for sports relief. That Paso Doble is also one of my favourite tv moments :D. Plus, I have an irrational dislike of Claire Sweeney & Kerplunk and the less said about Lesley 'LAAAH' Garrett, the better. Wouldn't have minded Martin Offiah winning though.

    It might be that they're having trouble getting male celebs to sign up though this year, could explain why Emma has suddenly disappeared from the website despite previously being announced :confused:

    Or the tabloids have led with the rumours of pretty younger women because that's what gets page-clicks?
