Well, now the lineup is complete I thought we'd see about this... are any of the spoiler-retrievers around this year?

I'd be up for doing it if nobody else can be found/is available. We'll see what we do when the spoiler thread goes up.

The mole is really needed for the second weeks show, when the eliminations begin.

Have we ever had a mole for a launch show? I have never seen one but I think that is one spoiler I might not look at.

Yup. There have been some years that the spoiler's come in the next morning or so, but as far as I'm aware we've known the pairings ever since they started doing the launch show.

There always has been a mole although in previous years we've tended to have to wait until the following morning rather than getting spoilers the night of the recording, presumably as the launch show is on a school night and people want to get to bed. I'm not complaining though - just grateful for any information!

Are Abigailsmum and Monaogg around - they are usually the top mole wranglers?

Oh, thanks for the info Stig. I'll make sure not to come on here till after the Launch Show is broadcast. I hate spoilers, and people will always start threads with titles giving them away, even if readers choose not to look in a spoiler thread.

I wish they would air the launch show and pairing live, so that we get to find out who is dancing with who at the same time as the celebs and pros. Same goes for the Results show (aired on Sundays) but recorded on Saturday night.

There is nothing to gain from having the results live on Saturday except lower ratings, and as long as Bruno is still on the US version it can't happen.

There, that's that sorted out once and for all.

I like the Sunday night results show, it means Strictly lasts all weekend

I agree about the pairings though, I would love that to be a live show. I wonder why it isn't? I'm not being a misery (honestly) about spoilers and each to their own regarding the spoiler thread but if anyone drops any form of a hint outside that thread then I will be a very grumpy bunny. I'm talking about the "oh I don't think you'll be disappointed when you find out who Pasha is partnered with" kind of comments.

If you count ITT then Strictly lasts all week!

One thing to worry about is if some over enthusiastic person starts an appreciation thread too early. That has happened in the past, but luckily the mods were alerted before too many people saw it and it was deleted.

That's true!

Why do the mods object to early appreciation threads?

I think it was because they put the appreciation up for the partnership before the partnership had been officially announced.

Only when they're spoilery.
