I'm so happy right now. Just watched the re run of Strictly on Saturday. So many gifted Celebs. Loving all the Pros left. Even the Celebs that have gone most of them have been 'pretty good but not quite there'. And even the less than gifted shall we say have really been good sports and enjoyable to watch (Shhhhhh Scott/Judy) such game people. Kind of miss Brucie (just for you Terry) but the girls (all 3 of them) I'm really actually liking - gives a new dynamic. I'm loving it

Simon, for me.
This series has a lot of decent celebs but no-one brilliant, the theme weeks have been poor, the music choices atrocious and the amount of props, backing dancers and other gimmicks abysmal.
It's a long, long way from being the best series ever.
It all sounds like 'the weather was better when I was a child'!
I agree. Good selection of good,fair,not so good and awful celebs. Even the bad ones managed a memorable dance. Loved Scott's and Joanne's Addams family routine and Judy's Viennese waltz.
I was really getting fed up of Brucie last year and I've enjoyed the ladies hosting it.
Yep, good series for me.
One week, I didn't even watch it all, which is astounding for me.
I am bored with these celebs.
I can't warm to Pixie, find Frankie really dull to watch, don't enjoy Sunetras dancing and it took me a while just to recall Simons name. Jake is OK and is probably the only one I am remotely interested in.
I think the producers need to remember that viewers prefer a journey to an already accomplished dancer who is just turning up for their day job.
But it's all subjective.
I'm not sure I agree. Personally, I'm sick of tedious "journeys". Last year, Natalie was outstanding and was the winner in my eyes. But I do get the impression she was thrown to the wolves a bit by the producers over her previous experience. As someone who works in the TV industry, I know that anyone who has been to drama school - and that includes many presenters - will have had dance training. Jake, this year, is a prime example. So either the show bans anyone who has had any kind of dance training, or it doesn't.
Nah, imo it is a series just made for sky+...I wouldn't bother watching if I didn't have the option to use the FF button.
It's one of the worst and most boring. Lack of content, class, ludicrous judges, tacky pro dances. dumbed down..but I don't need to go on. Not just a world away from the highs of Series 5 but an entire solar system.
Well at least I gave reasons!
I'm perfectly entitled to think previous series are better, and it's simply a fact from a technical dance point of view that some of the celebs in previous series were much better than the current crop, primarily because at one point there was actual rules and the pros could focus on teaching technique, not messing around with props, stupid themes and music that doesn't fit the dance!
I miss last year something chronic, with Brendan at his most Brendan paired with Sophie's glacial Head Girl swot act, Natalie and Artem off pretentiously wafting at the divine, Susanna's great big smuggity jazz hands in shades and furs persona, the rise of KFG, Mark and Iveta bonkers-mental routines and genuine warmth, Kristina going def-con 1 every time anybody even looked at Ben funny, Anya desperately trying to get the show's attention by choreographing fab routines for the world's dullest man to no avail, even the hilarity of Ashley getting stuck on 35 for week after week after week and gradually going more insane. So much more texture and fun and excitement than Brendan and Ola looking increasingly bored off their tits, cliche-spew interviews, and everyone just marking time until Jake throws his arse around again so he can win.
Things have progressed pretty much to order.
:DBrilliant post which says exactly what I feel about this year.................ahhh those were the days.:D
At least a half dozen who could still realistically win it. Very competitive and open
