This has been the only series I never bothered to watch on tv, only ever did quick watch on links provided, not even finishing any particular dance.

For me this series has the most boring & unwatchable celebs ever.....even Brooke is dire & IMO not even a very good dancer & just lucky he got Darren Hough as partner who actually carried her all the way through.

For that Brooke is the worst DWTS champion IMO.

Actually, I thought she was very good. She and Derek produced some great routines and whilst she may not have been as polished as Kristy Yamaguchi (who had the massive advantage of being an Olympic gold medal winning figure skater), she was quite fearless with some of her moves.

It's fantastic that some like her has won - it would never happen in SCD, sadly.

You mean the best dancer in the show can never win Strictly???

No, I mean someone who has clearly been so excellent from the beginning and has been the judges' favourite to win has actually won! In SCD, the public seem to take against the people who receive high marks and are perceived to be the pet of the judging panel. Look at the negativity surrounding Rachel at the moment.

I was so careful not to say who had won and to warn people not to watch the clips if they didn't want to know who had won until Friday. Sorry guys. Some people have no sense!

Surely Alesha was favourite to win last year - and did.
And what negativity surrounding Rachel? She certainly hasn't been "excellent" from the beginning of the show.

I think people only get labelled as teachers pet when the public aren't seeing what judges see, even though I didn't really like Brooke she had very little competition in terms of technical ability so it never seemed like she was being favoured since she was clearly best dancer there, sometimes though when there's several good dances you always get the impression of the judges propping up their favourite.

Alesha wasn't the favourite from the beginning though. She put in some good early performances but the lead was shared between several couples until mid-way through the competition when Alesha really came into her own. She did win but she wasn't the judge's favourite from the beginning.

The negativity I'm referring to regarding Rachel, is the idea that she was overmarked for the Foxtrot last week and, some seem to think, for the Rumba too.

My point is that when the judges start to favour someone too much, the public immediately go off them. Brooke was the leader for 90% of the whole competition.

Take Kristy Yamaguchi, for instance. I sincerely don't believe she would ever have won SCD. Amazing though she was, she rarely scored below a nine in the whole competition. I can't imagine the British public taking to an Olympic gold medallist competing in SCD and winning! We favour the underdog!

OK here we go with Season 8. For those who don't have Watch TV and are unable to see it on Thursday night, here are the clips of the premiere of the show. I have no idea how long the clips are likely to stay up before the ABC copyright police remove them so watch them quickly!!

Introduction and Lil 'Kim with Derek Hough - Cha cha cha

Belinda Carlisle and Jonathan Roberts - Waltz

Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska - Cha cha cha

Steve-O and Lacey Schwimmer - Waltz

Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke - Cha cha cha

Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough - Waltz

Jewel's replacement Holly Madison and Dmitri Chaplin - Cha cha cha

Ty Murray and Chelsie Hightower - Cha cha cha

Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas - Waltz

Steve Wozniak and Karina Smirnoff - Cha cha cha

David Alan Grier and Kym Johnson - Waltz

Denise Richards and Maksim Chmerkovskiy - Cha cha cha

Nancy O'Dell's replacement Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani - Waltz

Thanks to DWTSSeason8

(Watch Steve Wozniak - he's going to be the John Sargeant of this competition!)

FT thanks so much for posting these! I do have Watch but not always able to watch Watch!! I think I am going to really enjoy this show. Only managed quick looks at four so far - the gorgeous hunks first - obviously I'm supposed to be working .....

I can't wait to see how Melissa does with Latin and how Tony brings her along. Shawn looks like a real contender. She is sooo tiny. Mark is about 5'8", he actually looks tall.

There were some surprises - people who I thought would do really well and didn't. I like that it seems to be a fairly level playing field as opposed to some of the other series. Until we see both Latin and ballroom we won't really know.

I have found a site that shows the entire show, not just clips on YT.

She is going to load each show right up to the final, so this might be a better option for people without Watch or who live outside the UK (and the USA).

Here is the Premiere:

Enjoy!

Thanks very much for the links Force Ten.

I only watched Denise, Belinda, & Julianne (just because of who her partner is) but the rest are unknown to me hence I've no interest watching this series in full & on TV.

Same as last year the zelebs they're getting seems to be less & less known internationally.

But appreciate your effort FT & will rely on the video clips you provide instead for my selective viewing.

WOW! Thanks FT! I'll check that out as I hate all the ad breaks on Watch. I don't care who is dancing really (unless it is Cloris!) although it is better if you know some of them, but I loved Warren last year and had never heard of him before!

(*** wonders if there is something similar for American Idol ***)

There isn't an elimination this week so maybe there wasn't a Tuesday show. I know the Results Show dance off starts next Tuesday. But from what they were saying on one of the clips above, it won't be a final decision by the judges but will be decided between a second vote from the judges added to the viewers votes - which is probably a slightly better way of doing it.

I've got a feeling what ever it is will be better than what we've got on SCD!
