At least one pro won't be able to help themselves and will use a cape during the Paso, prompting Len to screw his face up and moan about 'all that messin' about with the cape'.
Things that happen every series
3 of 3
Tess will put her foot in it, or remind someone they haven't received 9's or 10's yet.
Bruce will make a joke about one of the judges fancying one of the celebs.
At least one person will say this is the best thing they have ever done.
Someone will say they want to get to the final for their pro dancer (why they get another shot next year, you don't!)

I was just commenting on the fact that every year there are new appreciation threads - you cannot dispute this. I didn't say anything about it hurting anyone or the pros and cons of them being there. This is supposed to be a light-hearted thread to give people a break from the bickering on some of the other threads.
Back on topic.
One celeb's ageing grandmother is rolled out ad nauseum.
Len will say "this is the best series ever" or one of the judges will say "this is the best final ever".
A rubbish but entertaining dancer will last at least 3 weeks and the judges will moan about it.

Well here's a new one this series - one celeb's new wife is rolled out or mentioned ad nauseum
In ITT, there's always an uncontrollable laughing fit that Claudia went through and put in the the 'best of' towards the end of the series.
Forumites will decry 'fix fix fix' when they favoruites are out (or when their biggest threats/rivals to their fav's still in).
There's always someone who's smug. Denise (s2), Zoe, Darren, Colin (s3), Emma, Ray (s3), Matt Di Angelo (s5), the top four in series six.
Bruce will always crack some jokes and then desperately try to make the audience to laugh and pretends to be stroppy when one can still hear the pin drop in the studio.
Someone's always fake in the show: Zoe in series 3, Emma in series 4, Kelly in series 5, and, Christine and Lisa in series 6, and oftentimes the fake ones are women.
Oh, forumites bitching over some (usually women) celebs being boring, teachers' pets, no techniques, and resent when others challenged them, saying they are NOT jealous or whatever, and then went on bitching about their body parts, hair, make-up and dresses and the like...

Oh I can't wait - in the spirit of all things SCD Craig must be due a Christmas sing song on ITT.
And every year Claudia will use the phrase - "and then we/you/she had a sandwich" - the woman is a genius!

Every year I was moan an about 83648362 threads that I wish Strictly could go back to it's pure and virginal and harmless existence of series one and two.
Every year series one gets forgotten about and it's seems that Jill's Jive is the first thing on the timeline.
At the beginning of the series we will always get comments such as "This is the best line up, ever!" "This is the highest standard ever"
Speculation as to whether Ola/Lilia/Erin/Claudia/Tess/Bruce ... Anton are pregnant.
Every year: This is Bruce's last series!
... When a competitive celeb thinks they're in danger of getting the chop they will roll out the distant relatives who are "so prouddddd" of them.
The celebs who hijack our tickets to the Saturday shows get more and more obscure and desperate.
I will go through a phase of loving every pro ... except acouple.

There are threads about who people do and don't want to see competing in the next series, and David Tennant and Richard Madeley are always mentioned.
Quote:
“Darren didn't get Emma the year after he won he got Gloria Hunniford.
With the exception of Matt Dawson, who producers probably thought was a no-hoper, yes they are.”

Oops my mistake. I still don't understand how Sarah Manners, Christine Bleakley and Matt Dawson are no-hopers. That's two slim, attractive, young women and a male professional athlete. That's everybody who's ever won the show.
As opposed to (makes doubly sure) Mica "Heffalump" Paris, Peter "The Dancing Wardrobe" Schmeichal, Brian "Who?" Capron, and Phil "Who?" Daniels.

I don't think any winner has really had a no hoper the next series apart from Darren, and that was probably due to height as she was the only short female celeb that year as far as I remember. But they don't generally get a great chance- no way did anyone think Matt would get past Ray or Spoony, or even finish close to Mark. I've heard the celebs kind of audition for the show, so the producers have an idea of how people start off, and IMO the previous winners get someone who will keep them in the series a while, but very little chance of a second win.
At least one person will say "I don't want this journey to end"
Someone will reach breaking point and walk out of the dance studio in tears (usually a female contestant)
Someone will say " I want to do this for (pro dancer) because I know this means so much to them. I don't want to let them down"

The celebs will claim Strictly is the best thing they have done, managing to imply that it is better than getting married, having children, winning olympic medals etc.
Particularly amusing from Tom who ought to have his wedding fresh in his mind

Peter Schmichael was also a professional sportsperson.

Brucie will say to every couple "you're my favourite."
One of the judges will say the same word three times "fantastic, fantastic, fantastic."

A GMTV presenter will turn out to be a rubbish dancer
The male celebs will be told that the female celebs are much stronger and they had better pull their socks up
Every other week will be when the "competition really starts"
John Barrowman will sing badly on the results show
Westlife will turn up on ITT and look bored (actually, that hasn't happened this year
)
new precedent - The Fonz will get over excited by some lissome female celeb
Camilla will wear a purple dress
All the finalists will look close to exhaustion
