I have to agree - I supported Colin and Zoe - as Bruce said tonight when Erin and Colin came out with the puppets the audience just froze - me too - until my best mate phoned and said "what the F..." I knew then that Darren would win

I really enjoyed tonight's programme with Stephanie a legend already!

I do hope she continues to gain support - she was fab tonight!

I'm really not feeling anything warm towards Gabby Logan! She stinks of desperation to me with her leg above her head and her rumours of pushing James to the limit with wanting to train all the time! Has she learnt nothing from the past series? The GP never warm to someone who wants it so desperately! The Bunton was a case in point!

I've a sneaking suspicion that the judges will love her, but I'm already cold on her! To me she is a cold fish - dead-eyed and desperate!

Just cos someone is slim, young & beautiful has no bearing on whether they can dance or have rhythm & grace, so I am not making any assumptions until I've seen them all take to the floor.
Look at Fiona, she appeared slim & graceful but danced like a stiff carthorse with two left feet (or should I say four?). I don't think anyone on this planet could have taught her to dance, she just could not do it.
Then there is that Cheetah girl Sabrina on DWTS, now I'd never heard of her admittedly so went on appearance alone. I saw her shot-putters arms & rotund stomach (is she pregnant btw?) & thought she would be a clomper - how wrong was I ?
I don't know any of the sports peeps or soap stars as I don't watch them, so I tuned into this programme to get a feel for the personalities. Unfortunately they all were n't given a "fair" amount of screen time but it was enjoyable & nice to see all the old clips too.
NB I lurve Matt's hair.

Josie Marin was the same (not as bad a dancer as Fiona though) but you need a fair bit of muscle and strength
I think you need some weight to keep you grounded too.

Remembering that the camera adds weight, just how thin was Josie

Well, she's not as thin as Kiera Knightley.


Loved tonight's preview show, but would really have prefered having the whole hour dedicated to the new couples rather than going back over old the stuff. However, it was nice to reminisce and see all that stuff.

Bring on next week! I'm SOOOOO excited! (and I just can't hide it!......)

YAY!

Whats the bald guys name anyone please?

So thin she wasn't actually there

I'm biased from the start as I've been a huge Stephanie fan for years and am only watching for her,but I thought she was hilarious when they eventually got to her and looked lovely.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought there was more Kelly/Brendan than there should have been.

Dominic Littlewood

I didn't like how they squished in those celebs at the end of the programme that didn't seem to fit into any of the other categories (sports-person, eastenders actor, tv presenter)

Cheers me dears

no probs

Did I miss something there? Matt & Tish were the first new contestants on the show about ten minutes in

There are two follicly challenged gentlemen..Willie Thorne and Dominic Littlewood.

Apparently he was born in Suffolk though don't know where he was brought up And yes, he does look passably good for his age

........I'm about to lose control and I just can't fight it!

I reckon Willie Thorne and Erin Boag will leave first next week.

I'm expecting Dominic & Lilia, Penny & Ian and Brendan & Kelly to be in the final 3.

I think Willie & Erin will go but I want Dominic & Lilia to go.

Really don't want Karen/Brian or John/Nicole to go.

Watched the documenatary and couldn't help thinking that SCD could be renamed the Kelly Show. Anyway I don't care much for Kelly.
Love the pairings of Ian and Penny, Matt and Alesha, Leticia and Darren, even Gethin and Camilla.
Somehow I think that a female celebrity will win SCD this year.

I'm expecting Matt and Alesha, Ian and Penny, and Camilla and Gethin to be in the top three.

Possibilites of couples staying in for a while Matt and Flavia, Kate and Anton and Leticia and Darren.

Stephanie has to stay as she is a scream. Loved her.

Ok... just watching it now! as I was out last night!

But what Ive seen the bit with brendan and kelly! all it went on about is his tantrum! not that he WON series one!

I actually like kelly! esp the clip when brendan sang shes out of my league! and kelly went 'I am out of your league'! brendan will love that!

Is funny seeing quentin though!

but nice to see camilla and flavia with good partners fingers crossed!

I think it looks a much better mix of contestants than last year. I hope Digger Barnes will surpass the Smurf-like Schmiechel, and I look forward to seeing most of the female contestants. I just wish someone will get Bruno to tone it down a bit - I can envisage another Bunton situation with Kelly Brook, where Bruno's wild over-reactions actually alienate viewers. She's already a bit irritating - seeing as she's being presented as some kind of major star - but the ravings of little Bruno could backfire sooner rather than later.

Dont know why everyone is going on about Kelly - she seems OK - I had never heard of her (or at least she wasn't memorable enough if I have seen her before) until this year's SCD list came out.

Also love the Digger Barnes thing!

Yes, I loved Stephanie, she's so funny and stunning.

I'm now even more excited after watching last nights show. I think Gabby, Kelly and Letitia are going to do really well. Actually,I think all the women are going to be pretty good this year. Not so sure about the men, think Matt will be pretty good but apart from that only time will tell! Now I'm off to watch some previous dances on youtube!
