What?
Really 😱😱😱😱
I need the bleach for the very thought

I am quite looking forward to them having to sing about taking the Costa Brava plane, though

God help me, I was a happier woman before I read this post.

However, political fiction based slash is another matter...

...Sam Seaborn/Josh Lyman.

Please no.
She really really annoys me.

Thank the Lord for recording and fast-forwarding if required.

I think over the course of the next year anyone who sets foot in the Strictly Studio will be touted as Len's replacement ... bet it'll be Mary Berry's turn next

Almost as bad as 'One Way or Another' being by One Direction last year...

Oh good grief. BBC going for da yoof vote, or just the work experience boy being allowed to update the website?

ETA: I've just realised the full horror of One Dimension trying to do that song. It's like if Little Mix tried to do Welcome To The Jungle.

Do NOT give them ideas . I'm already bracing myself for the band taking on Bowie

Just keep thinking about Y Viva Espana. I find it helps.

(I've never really recovered from See The Day being attributed to Girls Aloud)

Victoria Pendleton/Brendan? I seem to remember he had something horrific with a less-able partner.

Oh lawd - nipped into the NAT for the first time this year and that's the first thing I read! I think I'm going to have to wipe those few moments from my mind and start again.

I don't care who you are. If you arrive with Blackberry Pimms I'll love you forever


Way too much aftermath. Have another pash. We never do grubby sweetie because it ruins the flow of the swooshing.


Why even bother. She can barely string a sentence together and someone will have to find her a dresser/stylist/coach. We can't have Blousy Barmaid on the panel next to Divine Darcy

Ahhhh...someone loves me! *faints* *swigs bottle of Blackberry Pimm's & passes bottle to sofakat*

I've wiped the top

Unappreciating that I still can't be arsed with any of this year's lot
Ditto that the fact that Karen Hardy will be on the Tour judging panel. WTF?!

Oh heck - we've got a classy one!
Sits up straighter

How about voting for someone we are indifferent to, just to keep someone else we don't like from staying in. Or is that way too complicated and against the idea of voting?

I don't think I dislike anyone at the moment - but give it time, there will be plenty to unappreciate as we get to know them more.

Unappreciating that I drew Lesley and Anton in our sweepstake, though. That's £1 wasted.

Oh for the 2015 glory days when I drew Jay and Aliona.

No, they don't seem a bad bunch at the minute - there's no obvious Widdy, or Mark Wright or P'Duh. The only one to give the spidey senses a flicker has been Tameka if she doesn't stop acting like a more Kevin type of celeb.

A lot occupying the middle ground as well, this year. Dance order and song choice could end up being v important. I think it could get messy about half way in. Hopefully

I drew Anastacia & Brendan, which is admittedly a fairer shout, but at £20 instead of £1, which as a student may as well be the National Debt.

Creeps in nervously. May I be permitted to appreciate this one?

Blousy Barmaid!!
That's just too good!

Oh thank you wise one Sofakat. New and clean pashmina it is. Heaven forbid you all looked in pity and disdain at this ol' DOT languishing in the corner picking at a bit of yellow fondant fancy icing on last years pashmina and having a sneaky lick to see if the sell by date was true. And you're right - this brand new one swishes a treat

I have raided wardrobe to dress up in honour of tonight's opening show.
I'm wearing a pair of athletic trainers, a leotard, a leopardskin belt, a golf visor.
And a duvet cover

Ooh, don't you look smart!

Louise, is that you?

To be fair, the pashmina should have been well steeped in all manner of alcohol - so able to laugh in the face of sell by dates
