Sorry, been missing for a bit - very busy with family and then poorly, but better now. Sorry for epic post too. I'm like
Rafferty - read posts and think 'agree' or 'must comment' and then lose track by the time I've caught up. Oh for a 'like' button!

Thank you! Goodness me!! That sideways jump at the end.

Will Gary W be on J's left when he does that?
Thank you
CatO9Tales - and
Strictly Red, ahouch too

Some odd music choices - nothing new there then - *rolls eyes* - but some interesting choices too.
I really like Oti, but don't think Danny will win as he's too good all the time - no journey - and doesn't come across as a character.
Think Cloudia might end up 'being a contender' - she's very fit and can stand the weeks of training. Think AJ is trying hard, but he hasn't quite got the knack of showing off his celebrity in the best way. Nearly all new pros take time to acquire that - and there are a lot of new pros this year.
Wonder if that's why it all feels a bit different this year - it's more than missing J and A?
Some of the new Pros have good partnerships though.

I liked Natalie and Scott's dancing. I've a soft spot for Greg - he's been on a couple of other 'ordinary' TV programmes and came across well, and I like Natalie too. Hope he gets the knack of dancing.
(That's probably jinxed Greg now as I had a soft sport for Lesley too. Like Ed B and Or for throwing themselves into it - so suppose I can't jinx three at once?)

I watch the show - have done since the beginning, but start it a bit late so I can fast forward the irritating bits.
It's funny to compare with last year when waited with bated breath for the results, watched ITT religiously and worried over the music choices.
(Still watch ITT, but record it mostly).

That seems to be the latest contest to be whipped up - sibling rivalry. - *rolls eyes again*
I quite like the Cliftons - Kevin seems to be a good teacher and gets on well with his celebrities, Jo is a very good dancer and explained very well on ITT last year.
Don't mind either of their partners this year - have really enjoyed some of their dances.
It's so relaxing not to worry over who goes out
Noticed that Len's comments haven't been repeated on the main show or ITT - think they might have been 'off script' - but that Bruno's comment was repeated.
ITT has different producers, and it shows sometimes.

Agree!
Suppose one of the PTB thinks it'll appeal to children, but I'm not so sure it does.

Glad all is sorted over Shytown.
Suspect it was just that some young men can be a bit thoughtless.
Whilst other young men are very thoughtful

Suspect we'll be onto Part 7 by then!
Who'd'a'thought it, when
fatskia set this off more than a year ago - and still going strong
I'll repost the link to all the 'homework' links once we're on Part 7 - will try to catch a suitable page so it's easy to find if needed.
Thanks for all your work
Isih, and to
nelliek for the show lists, and to
BMLisa, Strictly Red for the stats, and going back to
Spree - Keeper of the Tour clips, and a few new ones
Thank you everyone for the Strictly reviews - it's so interesting to read views and opinions.

That's entertaining. Benedict C seems nice with his fans too. Remember he was on Graham Norton's Show and kept nipping up into the audience to meet his fans - some had come hundreds of miles.
