Strictly Come Dancing 2017 - Official Thread

[anonymous-user]

If the papers are to be believed she has been kicking off about Gorka and Gemma getting close.

Really struggled with Strictly this year, just don't particularly like any of them or really care who wins. For the first time in years if we are out on the Saturday and miss it we havent bothered with catchup, maybe watching the results show but mainly finding out who has gone on here

I dont think my dislike of Tess helps but we've watched religiously in other years

I think the whole thing has run its course

Alexandra comes across exactly the same way she did in the X Factor, fake.

Yes and I've thought the same since her X factor days, I've just never took to her.

Agree and I struggle to watch her, she's one of those prime examples where you wonder how she got the Job in the first place.

I suspect that she was hired in the days where the primary role for a female co-host was arm / eye candy.

...and it gives the genuinely talented one of the partnership nothing to work off.

Probably went well with Brucie - and Len.

Better without the latter though.

Replace Tess with Anton Dubec, job done.

Right pick if you want to finally kill off the show.

Think it was the last series of X-factor I watched but anyway as soon as she was announced i told my girlfriend how fake/smug/annoying I found her. Thought she might have changed or matured but she really hasn't. She just isn't very likeable really, especially up against Debbie/Gemma/Joe/Susan/Mollie who all come across brilliantly.

[Clockwork Cupcake]

I really can't see Anton being a good host. Part of his charm is being the consummate dancer who can play the clown, and is genuinely funny in small doses. But it would wear thin very quickly in larger doses, I feel. He might have given it a fair crack at being a judge, but I don't think he would be very good as a host.

Besides, returning to a male host and female co-host would be rather a climbdown for the BBC after the progressive move of having an all-female host pair.

Joe and Katya are dancing to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Love their stuff, and the band aren't murdering it too badly either

[Jazzy Jag]

WTF is Tess wearing??

[SPR2]

That was so fast and excellent choreography from Katya yet again. Jo is very light on his feet too.

I think the costume dept just have a laugh at Tess' expense each week
