About 9 now the dance-off has been scrapped.

I've stopped watching the X Factor, so I might make a switch to this But I'm probably only about a 2 or a 3.

Slightly more excited now the press embargo on celebs only lasts for another 11 and a half hours

And me I have gone up to a 9 now

Have read the list of celebs and am a 9.

Would be a 10 if I knew the partnerships.

Will be supporting whoever Erin gets.

Read the list, hope it's correct as I've now gone up to a 9

And am now down to about a 6. I have 3 favourite pros, and going on the list I've read, one has a really good celeb, one the best she could hope for and the other has been treated so appallingly I wouldn't blame her for walking.

So not really happy atm, hoping the list is slightly wrong.

Don't give up hope Mystical.

Not 100% sure, but I think the only half-legitimate list has been the one with the 13 celebs on.

The pairings lists are all just speculation/educated guesses.

It's the educated guess which worries me though, because no other pro paired with that celeb makes sense!!!

I just hope the last-minute surprise this year is that the certain celeb isn't actually doing it and we have a young, fit, sports star instead.....a girl can dream, right?

About a six! Will miss my fav`s Matt and Ian and Lilia and Darren and Brian, miffed cos they`ve removed the boards on the website!

The Line-Up, especially Pamela. Felicity, Jimi and Michelle has rocketed my excitement up to 8.
Once we find out the mystery 7th woman tomorrow I may hit 9 (especially if its Angela Griffin)

It varies:
starting at 5;
Bruce is Still There (even for one show only) means MINUS 200
Claudia and Tess will do the results show PLUS 50;
Redesigned set - hopefully with smaller stairs, larger floor and better view of the band; PLUS 15;
I've actually heard of some of the celebrities PLUS 20;
No bitchy message boards which regard the celeb dancers and judges as targets to be mangled and derided PLUS 100;
No Strictly Ian MINUS 10;

so still at MINUS 10 for the moment.

will see what the live show brings, (but 'Merlin' is coming back = PLUS 1000 but on another scoreboard!)

Sorry for the double posting (pure mistake while searching for some more smilies).
Now, Mods, do you see what we nerdy small-minded people need to reinforce the quintessential essence of our postings? More colourful objects to splash around the place!

Hmmm, no Matthew, Brian or Ian - NOT good - no Lilia, also not good - I'd say a 6, at the moment.

Still a seven but THRILLED to see Felicity Kendall and Scott Maslen in the line-up and I cannot wait to see Anne Widdecomb strut her stuff! Also looking forward to seeing how Jimmy Mistri gets on.

I really hope that Felicity gets Vincent - she is only five foot so I think that is the most likely option.

Team Filicent, Team Vinicity?

I think I must have hit ten because I've started an appreciation thread! Which is so not like me!

A 9 -- was apprehensive about the changes (but fans always hate changes, sometimes we don't know what's good for us ), but moved on to excitement now, it's like being a kid waiting for Christmas!

I am most definately at a 10 now.....I think a few of the choice this year have been very left field....Pamela Stephenson.....and therefore make it more interesting.

Hmmm, i'll say an 8. I think the line up could have been better and i'm not to happy about some of the pros who have left but i always love the show and can't wait for it to get started

Now an 8. Still very, very annoyed about Paul Daniels being on the show, especially having read his blog and realised he actually couldn't be bothered and doesn't even want to do the show!

But my excitement about Felicity Kendal and Jimi Mistry is keeping the level up. Also think Ann Widdecombe could be hilarious and like Kara and Goldie's interviews.

Apart from Paul and Gavin, they sound like quite a good bunch, and very willing to learn and have fun

I've gone from 0 to a sev-ERN. Only downside now for me is still the Sunday results.

Paul Daniels !!!! I dropped to a 5 now ,.Unless he can do a dissaperaing act before saturday and not be found again ,

A 5 - purely because of PD, and the likelihood that Flavia will be partnered with him. If she gets anyone else, it'll go up to a 9 or a 10.

Is this thread aimed at Gavin Henson?
