A typical model then ? Heard of her before due to her association with Matt Smith and being Gavin Rossdale's daughter.
Thought she be prettier to be honest. Then again one or two are strange looking. Cara Delevingne being another. They must make good clothes horses.
I'm guessing Daisy Lowe will be clumsy.

I think Daisy will be good. She's not the most well known celeb but she's pretty as well and she has Aljaz the most gorgeous of the make pros. Ed, Lesley and Naga will be the first three out I think. Don't know who else after that

I always feel so sorry for the one who goes out first.
It hasn't occurred to me that Ed would go first and don't know about Daisy. I thought maybe Anastasia - I sincerely hope not, I think she is terrific but she has no big fan base over here.

It's a pity they cannot organise the show so that maybe three couples are the first out.

Pretty much what I thought. Each to their own but I'm amazed people find her more likeable than Laura so far who seems like a sweetheart to me!

Daisy's vest covering her boobs amused me greatly though, I wonder what the story was there? Seems odd to change the outfit between the red carpet launch and the main show. Note in the shots from the red carpet event on last night, they only showed her face as well.

Down with that sort of thing.... careful now.

There may well be a trail of fur and feathers from the rehearsal room formerly occupied by a stroppy Kiwi and his Stateside partner. Will they even make week one?

I don't think Daisy will be up to much, but not the first to leave.

As I have developed an unexpected but quite serious girl crush on Daisy I'd be sad if she goes home first. Teamed with the lovely Aljaz she has a good chance of staying for a while....hopefully

I read somewhere a couple of weeks ago that Daisy is pretty good at some of the latin dances (some of which have been quite raunchy) so don't write her off just yet. If this is true, her rumba with Aljaz could be interesting.

Personally, I think Daisy will do quite well. I've got her in at least the top 6 in my head. I don't think she'll be a top, top dancer but definitely one of the better ones. Aljaz will definitely be a good partner for her I think.

And of course she may not be the best well known, but depending on how costume does her up, say if its quite princessy, young girls will probably want mum and dad to vote for her, while if she goes down the sexy route (most likely in my opinion), she'll be the dad's favourite most likely.

She'll pick up votes for sure. Barring an early shock exit, I'd say she could be like Sophie Ellis-Bextor, get to the final but come fourth. Somewhere around there I think.

Are we allowed to vote for Ed Balls ??

I have not paid my £3 or £25 or whatever.

Ed is the obvious first celeb out, but I think he could last at least a week or 2[/quote]

Ed Balls has said that he was a ballroom dancer at university, so might not be too shabby if he gets something that suits him.
I think first out will be someone not usually on tv, or not known on uk tv.

I think she danced like she was inebriated at a party so I agree with first out.

Ed will get sympathy votes.

I'm thinking Daisy vs Melvin , Daisy out.

To be fair, Daisy's dress didn't look the easiest to dance in.

I guess we won't know until the first elimination and dances, but I can see a shock exit of someone who we would all like to see go a bit further at least in the competition. Louise could be in trouble if she has an okayish start but doesn't come out of her shell or gel with the public?

No, because she's white and under 50. Next question.

Yeah...I mean it's a whole 1 series ago that the very white and 40ish Iwan Thomas was first out.

Like Iwan Thomas

Does anyone know how tall Daisy actually is as she looked even taller than Alias or about the same height so I am guessing that she is even taller than Abbey was.

Eek. It's a fair cop. Sorry guys. I genuinely don't know why I wrote that because, even though I didn't watch the first elimination last year, I knew that it was Iwan that went out first. Can we just blame it on the glass of wine I've had and the fact that (despite my rudeness) I actually like Daisy and hope she *isn't* the first out?

and now i've ruined yohinnchild's thread because no one's replying. God, why am I such a bitch??

Ed seems too obvious...
Can't see Lesley struggling to get through since she has Anton.

I'm thinking Anastacia & Brendan could be at risk unless Anastacia's fans pull through for her.

Obviously, leaderboard position will count for something for everyone, too.

I really liked Daisy but watching her in the First Group Dance I got the impression she is not going to make the finals !

I can confirm, I've worked with cows for over 40 years & I've never yet seen one that looks like Daisy Lowe!!!!

There is absolutely no way that Anton Du Beke and Dorien from Birds of a Feather will be out in the first week

I think her pledge to donate her fee to a cancer charity will gain her a lot of goodwill.
Also she came over as just lovely.
