I think Mark Foster should be topless every week.

That was fab! Cant wait for next week now!! Liking Tom, Austin, Mark, Jessie, Jodie and Gillian. Not keen on the new professionals either but I think its going to be a fantastic series!!

It was a great build up show

Agreed! It was a very tantalising appetiser.

I'm really looking forward to this year's show. There are some good contestants both with potential dance ability and winning personalities.

That's true.

I was looking forward to the series before, now I'm excited like a kid on Christmas Eve.

I want to fast forward the week now

I am exactly the same

I can't wait for it to start

Based on first impression from tonights show I want the first four elliminations to be:

1) Don
2) Jodi
3) Phil
4) Heather

Just don't see any sparkle in them but who knows they may surprise me.

I think I'll actually wait until they actually, y'know, dance before making any decisions.

So sorry. Have reported my post seeing as it's obviously peed you off that much

Oooooh......radical!

I like Jodie and Austen.
Rachel and Lisa will probably be fantastic dancers (a bit like Kally/alesha).

Bit extreme. I just said what I was doing.

I took a real dislike to Kristina. More than anyone she seemed to have an attitude of "I AM awesome and you WILL listen to me tell you" - and it was a tad too conceited for a newbie, IMO.

I didn't like her at all.... very offputting I am afraid.

I want nicole back!....i miss her!!!
its weird without her!!!

I like the majority of them this year!
I think this could well be my fave series yet.
The celebs are all great...i think i like them all...except for maybe Heather...think I want her as first female gone.

All the male celebs seem nice.
I think Kristina was fab...im going to like having her on the show...she's an awesome dancer!
Hayleys little solo section didnt do much for me!!!

eeee...cant wait til next week
ps...its just pure WRONG without Nicole!

I miss Nicole too

Jodi looks a bit awkward so she might go early- the men, maybe Phil or Andrew perhaps- John'll get a few votes to keep him safe

erm...do you not remember james jordan!
'im the youngest, the fittest....etc'

...i like that they come out showing what they've got!!
end of the day I think they need to!
Hayley didnt stand out at all.
good on Kristina for the fighting spirit to be classed as an equal on the show and not showing shes a 'newbie'!

I watched the preview and I think this years event should be better than ever, it was nice to see where all the celebrities come from as most of them I've never heard of.

I can't wait till next week.

Hi just come onto thread and haven'd read all the last 400 of so threads - sorry but I love SCD.

I think Austin Healy and Andrew Castle might give the gals a run for their money!

Was it just me or did Lisa Snowdon appear to be a bit of a "pain in the arse" - not sure I could watch her for the next few months!

Hi Linz, I liked Lisa before the show.... but after it, I don't think I can bear her

I like Austin and Andrew as well... There are so many I like I might change my mind after seeing them dance

Liking Tom and Gillian already- Gillian could be a dark horse

I think Gillian and Anton are hilarious together, they make me laugh and I think she could be quite good..

Nor me- and Rachel I just found blandly annoying and little bit up herself- and I like Vincent too Same for Tom as I can't stand Camilla and the Beeb seem desperate for her to win!

I thought in general the others were not too bad and all came across really well- lots of personality and fun

Awww I like Rachy and Vincent... I hope they do well..
