And it's not (at least not originally) in waltz time.
I'm pleased that Kellie is the only female doing the tango, gives her a better chance of standing out |

Some pretty good song choices there, and no obviously terrible ones, mixed in with the usual first round cliches - IIRC though, last year there were at least seven or eight song choices that were in some way linked to the celebrity, whereas there's only five this year (Anthony, Carol, Daniel, Helen and Iwan), which is an improvement, I suppose.
And I totally called Georgia getting that Meghan Trainor song in another thread, so I'm feeling quite proud of myself now.

Given that I do think the pros have a bit of choice as to what dances they avoid, and Anton managed to avoid it for 6 years, this could very well be the case.
Will be interesting what dance Katie & Anton would skip in the (extremely hypothetical) situation that they made the Semis - Katie specifically said she wants to do the Samba the most (...), so... Rumba? Or, more likely, Argentine Tango (seeing as Anton has never, ever done one)? (The whole thing was a ruddy mess incidentally) (From what I remember) |

(*pulls out pedants glasses*) H'actually there was a group Argentine Tango in Series 3 the week Bill & Karen went out, so technically speaking he has danced an Argentine Tango with a celebrity partner, although not one that was scored.
(The whole thing was a ruddy mess incidentally) (From what I remember) ![]() Well, then, I don't actually know what would be best for Katie & Anton to avoid. Salsa? Or are we in a strange new realm where he'll avoid something silly like a Waltz? |

I don't think it matters too much with Anton and Katie - it's not like they're hot favourites or even in the running (which is when I think avoiding a horribly unsuitable dance could make a difference). They'll just have a laugh with the Latin, do the best they can, and try and impress with some half-decent Ballroom.
(Katie will probably turn out to be Ginger Rogers now I've said all that) |

All of the Tango choices are dreadful, although Voulez Vous largely because it brings back memories of Miss Fun Funnity Fun when she hit peak awfulness. All of the other dances have good music.

She is with her boyfriend and does not need all this storyline nonsense. It was pathetic between Abbey / Aljaz but thankfully they gave up when they realised how classless it was to keep pushing it. Hopefully the same happens for Geo and Gio |

I have a feeling Giovanni isn't going to be very respectful of Georgia's relationship status either. Getting slightly lecherous vibes from him.

I think despite the cheesy cliches it is a good song list. Really surprised "Uptown Funk" or "Black Magic" hasn't appeared though, but who knows, they might pop up later in the series.
