On Saturday Strictly Come Dancing was
on. Now honestly I missed last year so I
don’t know if they used the same system as they did this year. Anyway I was assuming that we would have the
first round of dancers. I was wrong.
What we did get was some weird meat market
type thing where the celebs were introduced to their partners. In previous seasons this used to happen in rehearsal
rooms and places like that. Anyway onto
the meat market! Of course we first need
to know who our celebs are:
Jason Donovan – Actor, singer and West End
star
Chelsee Healey – Actress best known as
Janeece Bryant (Waterloo Road)
Rory Bremner – Comedian
Lulu – Singer, actress and TV personality
Audley Harrison – Olympic gold medalist (boxer)
Edwina Currie – Former MP, public figure
Harry Judd – Drummer of McFly
Alex Jones – TV personality (co-host of The
One Show)
Russell Grant – Astrologer and entertainer
Holly Valance – Model, actress and singer
Dan Lobb – TV presenter and former
professional tennis player
Anita Dobson – Actress best known as Angie
Watts (EastEnders)
Robbie Savage – Football midfielder
Nancy Dell’Olio – Property lawyer,
entrepreneur, TV personality (former partner of Sven-Goran Eriksson)
So those are the celebrities who will be
competing for the mirror ball trophy. It’s
an odd bunch but then it usually is on this show. I’m think Jason Donovan is going to do well
and Holly Valance should as well.
Although I have to say that Rory Bremner is my guilty pleasure as I have
a feeling he may be a bit like John Sergeant.
Now we just have to pair them with their professional
dancers. Some of the celebs were not at
all happy with who they got. Let’s see
who got who:
Alex Jones got James Jordan
Anita Dobson got Robin Windsor
Audley Harrison got Natalie Lowe
Chelsee Healey got Pasha Kovalev
Dan Lobb got Katya Virshilas
Edwina Currie got Vincent Simone
Harry Judd got Aliona Vilani
Holly Valance got Artem Chigvintsev
Jason Donovan got Kristina Rihanoff
Lulu got Brendan Cole
Nancy Dell’Olio got Anton du Beke
Robbie Savage got Ola Jordan
Rory Bremner got Erin Boag
Russell Grant got Flavia Cacace
I have to say that most of the celebs and
professionals were quite happy with their partners. The key term here being most. The most entertaining reaction was Lulu. When she was told she was partnered with
Brendan she shouted no! I don’t blame
her. He can be really scary and I wouldn’t
want to be partnered with him either.
Nancy Dell’Olio didn’t want her partner
either. She and Edwina were up at the
same time and Nancy wanted Vincent.
Personally I think Vincent wanted her as well. Edwina is stiff and I don’t think there will
be an Argentine tango any time soon.
I also think that Flavia is a bit
disappointed as well. She got Russell
and that really doesn’t help her chances of winning. Sure he’s a nice guy and all but when you
have competition like he does in a ballroom dancing show he doesn’t stand a
chance.
During the show we got some dances from the
professionals but I was a little underwhelmed by them. They didn’t have that same thing where you
can’t look away. The first dance to Lady
Gaga’s Born This Way. As Craig would
say: it was a disaster! You can’t do
ballroom to this song no matter how good you are. None of the dances really made me stop and
watch.
Anyway the judges are the same as
always. Len is there as head judge with
Bruno, Craig and Alesha. Out of the judges
my favourite is Craig because he doesn’t care what people think or if he hurts
feelings. He is there to judge and he
does that. My problem with Len is that
he changes what he wants from week to week and couple to couple. For one couple he’ll say he wants traditional
but with another he says he wants them to spice it up. Make up your mind! Bruno is way to over the top for me and I don’t
feel that Alesha should be there. Sure
she won the show once but that doesn’t mean that she has the knowledge to
critic others.
Anyway we have to wait a whole 3 weeks
before the next show! What was the point
of this? Ah well, at least it gives me
something to look forward to!
