Do you think they should dredge up people nobody has heard of for years, get them on and see how the voting goes when it can't really be a popularity contest as hardly anyone can remember them?

What about this set of samples?


Barry Blue
Steve Brookstein
Lee Brennan from 911
Charlie Nicholas
Nigel Havers
Jim Carver from the Bill
Original Nick Tilsley from Corrie





Jennifer Ellison
Rosemary Shrager
Gina from Heartbeat
Gemma "Nul Points" from Gemini
Bel Powley



Nobody would have anything invested in this lot, so no favouritism.

How would it go?

I imagine the public would turn off in droves.

To be fair, I haven't even heard of most of that lot... but then again, I was the same when this years full line-up was announced. I genuinely hadn't heard of half of them before.

I'll think you'll find Gemma from Gemini was sent on a holiday last week. Sure I read something about her in the papers.

They can be very very choosey as loads of people want to do it, and openly say they want to do it.

Don't forget the tour, Strictly the money making machine. There will always be favouritism.

Jennifer Ellison was an award winning ballet dancer. She would be a ringer.

Charlie Nicholas the footballer ? He's still on Sky regularly, and I'm sure Celtic and Arsenal fans won't have forgotten him. I wouldnt call Nigel Havers a has-been either.

Nigel Havers is surely a bigger star than just about anyone in the show this year!?

Lee from 911 wouldn't be classed as any more of a has-been than loads of people that do Strictly either - 911 have been doing some gigs recently and were part of the Big Reunion which did a sell-out arena tour a few years ago.

I think they should partner Sid Little with Joanne and Eddie Large with Katya.
