Title: Strictly 2019
Post by: Tenhens on September 30, 2019, 15:30
The 2019  sequin season is underway , anybody watching?
Must be showing my age as not recognising most of the 'celebs' !!
Some superb outfits.

Have the BBC overdone the extended ' It takes two '  from 30 to 45 mins?

Sure have, especially as last week and this week it's stolen the slot normally occupied by Pointless!  :ohmy:

Don't think James Cracknell covered himself with much glory - I'll watch ITT to see if he manages to be a bit more graceful about his fate than some of the comments attributed to him so far...

I love Strictly and like you don't know many of the celebs, but Mike Bushell is a regular sports presenter on our breakfast news prog and I was really annoyed about his cowboy dance. It was like his partner didn't know what an American Smooth was and made fun of his exuberant personality. Let's hope she does something better for him this week as he deserves it.

Trying to get used to the ' amended ' BBC1 schedule , the afternoon programs have been moved forward to fit in ITT . Will be interesting if the weekday fix of 45 mins remains as the celebs get eliminated.

Do like Zoe , not so sure about the other chap.

This weeks bottom of the pile?  David James. Keeping my fingers crossed for ' The King of Ballroom ' and his partner Emma.

Nothing on the BBC news pages about James Cracknell having a ' upset '.

Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeep dancin' !!!!!!!!

Goosegirl I wondered about Mike Bushell's dance too.  Katya is normally right on the money with her choreography so I was thinking she was maybe trying to get put out the show early?  Mike is not as bad as that dance made him look.  I normally love an American Smooth and she just spoiled it for me.

I have always watched strictly since its conception.   But this year I have gone right off it.   I don't know who the contestant are (but that hasn't stopped me in the past).    I am just so fed-up with the noise, dancing whilst good singers entertain.   The screaming audience, and the presenters babbling on.    I never thought I would see the day when I would say this.   But the costumes are amazing, well some of them  :D.   Maybe James Cracknell should stick to his other sports,  but there always has to be a bit of back-biting.  It is rather like a musical soap.    ::) ::)    Mrs Bouquet

I would give my right leg to dance the Argentine Tango with Aliash and hopefully he would be up to a challenge. Goosey will put her name forward for next year's hopefuls so what would you recommend so I can get partnered with him?

I would definitely recommend two  legs, not 2 left feet.     Imagine that, the Blackpool Tower, a beautiful gown and a beautiful man.    What more could a girl wish for.  8) 8)  Mrs Bouquet

Followers of  It Takes Two   may have noticed that the Beeb have moved it back to it's  usual slot on BBC2 and have reduced it back to 30 mins.

I think the changes were made to fit in coverage of the athletics.

Any way , things are back to normal.
