Yoohoo - new to the thread.
Looks like there'll be little change to the series this year - 'comedy' vts which are about as funny as the black death, and the tedious judges dancing.
The eejit audience would give a standing ovation and a round of applause if the Elstree roof collapsed when a couple was on!
I quite like the new dancer - Otlile I think? She has twice the personality of her partner - I have to admit, me and my wife chuckled watching him limp along with one arm.
Not keen on Kellie Bright or the overhyped bore that is TTF.
Helen is ok, but I felt her dance was overmarked - while Anita's felt under marked.
Daniel O'Donnel really gives me serial killer vibes - although he has the personality of an amoeba.
Poor Carol Kirkwood - she's one of the most likeable but that was dreadful.
Series 8 tore the heart out of the show by adding props and comedy vts - and the show still hasn't recovered. I wish certain professionals would learn that a dance routine should have dancing in it, and not a significant amount of time spent on 'introductions' and 'faffin' about'.
Let's just hope this year will be better than last year, but the early signs are not good!
