I think we need a thread purely for all the things we love about this new series of Strictly.

There are too many threads for slagging off on here, whether it would be one of the celebs, pro's, band, Tess, Brucie or the judges.

I wanted to start a thread where there will be no nasty comments (naive i know) and all are good thoughts about the show.

It might be about your favourite celeb, the presenters or even to possibly to give praise to a celeb you thought did a great job on that particular dance.

I understand we all have our particular favourites on the show but I don't see why that should mean you can't appreciate anyone else's dance.

So the love thread, where praise and happy thoughts are welcome about the show that I just love!!

Like this, Austenfan! Nice to have a place for it as well.

I definitely don't mind constructive negative criticism, but some stuff is just too much on here and has a really vindictive vibe somehow this year, just like last year when it particularly started to be that way more, from how DS used to be.

I love the way all the celebs this year are so supportive of each other. Seems particularly so this year.

Like that a lot.

Flavia

*sigh*

I love stiting down on Saturday all ready for it .The music comes on and I get all excited .
Do , do do do do do dooooooooooooooo

I love Paschas attitude , so supportive and kind , yet a great teacher .

I love the pro dances , I have to re watch them to see who is who and who did what

I love the banter in the Tesspit and the support thay all show for each other

I love watchin it again later in the week and pay more attention to the dresses and bling .

I am loving ITT with Zoe , new blood , new excitement , new style .

This is a fantastic idea, was just considering not coming on DS again as the negativity is really depressing. I also love the show, loving the brilliant choreography (Kristina and Artem especially) and the great atmosphere between the pros and the celebrities. Can't wait for tonight x

I love Pasha and Artem :P

Agree with all particularly these two points.

Also love Holly's humour, Harry, Craig and Bruno comments, Chelsee, Kristina, Robin.

Love the love

Love the dancing and would love to see more
Love Artem, love his dancing style, his choreo
Love Pasha, love his choreo and his adorableness
Love a lot of the Pros, and celebs this year, I'm really enjoying the partnerships and seeing how everyone progresses
Love Zoe, I really love watching ITT.
Love The Man In The Hat
Love the speculation and the analysis on DS, it increases my enjoyment so much.

Thank you Austenfan

Loving Pasha and Chelsee.
Loving Brendan's patience.
Enjoying Russell much more than I ever expected

I only love Flavia

after that I just enjoy the dancing

yay something cheerful
I'm loving Pasha and Chelsee. They have a great relationship and it shows on and off the dance floor.

I'm loving Pasha generally

I know they've exited but I loved Rory and Erin's quickstep in Broadway week.

Actually I'm loving a lot of the relationships between pros and celebrities this year. I think after being initially concerned, everyone remaining is probably with the right person for them dancewise.

I love Zoe on ITT: she's brought a different fresh feel to the show.

I love how seriously Jason is taking the dancing and how Kristina is making some great routines. I loved their Bewitched routine, it was so clever. I've always thought Kristina is a good choreographer. I loved her approach when JS was on - she gave him age and ability appropriate choreography and this year I'm glad she's having a chance to shine with Jason.

I loved the pro dance CCC to Edge of Glory a few weeks back and the Pro American Smooth last Sunday (even if the name of the song has suddenly escaped my brain :-s).

I think there is probably more to love but I can't think offhand!

Im loving the love!!

I loved Holly's American Smooth
I loved Jason's Quickstep/Tango
I loved Robbie's Foxtrot

Im looking forward to tonight, from training footage I think Holly's Jive could be good.

I love how last week we went from Kylie Minogue to Tchaikovsky and then to Cliff Richard.

Only on Strictly, Saturday nights entertainment at its best.

I am loving Anita and Robin's great partnership.

Never thought that I would say this, but I am loving Russell, his total joy is very infectious.

Love Harry and Robbie, although I had never heard of them when the show started.

I am enjoying watching Lulu grow in confidence every week.

Loving Pasha, what a great addition to the Pro dancers!

Love Audley's enthusiasm, but I do think that he will be leaving this week.

I am loving watching this whole series over again, I have spent the last few days transferring it from Sky+ to disc.

Just the tonic for a wet weekend.

I love that they've kept the Sunday results show so that I get a little dose of Strictly every day.

Love is a bit of a strong word for me ....as is hate ofcourse...but I really really like

Jason and Kristina I dont care that he is more serious than the others I love the fact that Kristina is having a ball.

Chelsee when I never expected too and was very snooty about her when I first saw her.

Zoe on ITT I dont want Claudia back now.

The Halloween theme

This a Fabulous idea, I Love the Love thread.

I'm Loving dear Russell to bits.

Ooh, I've got lots of likes and loves! Which I'm sure are many people's hates!

I love Chelsee and Pasha. Not a controversial "love", thankfully!

Aliona's antics notwithstanding, I really like Harry; he's still my distant 2nd favourite. Robbie is still my even more distant 3rd favourite.

I like the band and singers..

I like the judging panel. They are there to be the show's villians, not a quartet of fluffykins, and I think understanding this allows one enjoy the show. It is OK to 'hate' Len, Simon Cowell etc. When everyone loves all the judges and no-one ever starts threads about them, it'll be time for a new panel.

I like most of the pros. I'm not a huge fan of Anton simply because his standard of latin isn't good enough for the show, but I suppose the producers need him for the Widdys of this world.

I liked Halloween week.

I like themed weeks.

I like the sunday show and hope we never go back to 2 shows on one night.

I like the scrapping of the dance off. Good riddance. Although without it, we may never have witnessed the wonder that was the bacofoil showdance.

I like Zoe on ITT and hope Claudia never comes back.

I like Claudia on the sunday show and wish she'd present it alone.

I like Moira Ross.

I really like this year's cast now that Dan and Nancy have been booted off. I only needed to google 2 out of 14 of them (Chelsee and Dan) when the names were announced, and I think this is where series 7 failed.

I love the fact that Strictly beat TXF last week, even though I watch both religiously

I love the show the way it is - I think shows needs to evolve. I loved series 4 and 5 too, but they are what they are and series 9 is what it is.

I adore Chelsee and Pasha

this is a Love thread not like

I love Dulce de leche ice cream!

Great thread.Well there are so many things I like about this show
-I love Pasha and Chelsee individually and as a couple .I think they are brilliant.You can tell are having the time of their life and because they are enjoying it so much I enjoyed watching them a lot.-
Love for all the pros who comes with brilliant choreography every week(yes even you Aliona lol) and for their pro dances.
-Love for the judges panel(Craig, Alesha, Bruno, and Len).I am exasperated with their scoring at times but I still love them.
-Love for all the people involved in this show(mostly behind the scenes) who are sometimes rarely mentionned.They are doing a fabulous for this show.
-Love for Brucie and Tess also
-Love for everyone

I also love dulce de leche (particularly for breakfast in Argentina).

I also love the new look ITT & Claudia on Sunday nights.

Chelsee & Pasha talking in sync

The. Camaraderie of the cast in the tesspit & Tess losing control of her interviews at least once a show

The costumes this year
