August 5, 20186 yr There's usually a presenter from BBC Breakfast, so Steph McGovern is a good shout, although she's now doing a lot more prime-time BBC work, so might be too busy for it.
August 5, 20186 yr Oh god, if the Aston situation was anything to go around, imagine if Strictly went through the American version where there’s no dance-off AND THEN TALK ABOUT ROBBERIES.
August 5, 20186 yr Oh god, if the Aston situation was anything to go around, imagine if Strictly went through the American version where there’s no dance-off AND THEN TALK ABOUT ROBBERIES. Exactly! The Brittany Morris saga for example and Christina Milian to say just two, at least with a dance-off there is a chance for the better dancer to be saved as long as they are better in the dance-off. Whereas in DWTS it just happpens and it's basically every season, the Aston thing was a rarity (ik there was Pixie and Peter Andre for example but they came like 6th, that's only a bit before the final and they burned out) and in the situation that happened he was worse than Mollie and that's the way the format goes.

Mirai Nagasu would be the most recent example. That said Strictly could have some kind of rebound/redemption season that atones for whatever fresh hell last season brought.

I defo prefer your format as it’s much more exciting, as much as I love Strictly it can be a bit predictable ;o
August 6, 20186 yr Author Here's hoping there's no OTT drama this year. The unwarranted hate surrounding Alexandra last year got kinda disturbing tbh :mellow:
August 6, 20186 yr It was ridiculous :lol: Not just to Alexandra but also Debbie and Gemma around the final, all the finalists deserved to be there in different ways imo yet people got nasty and bitchy. It's just a light Saturday night entertainment show, it's beyond pathetic when people get bitter and nasty over it! Especially when Alexandra was getting flack for crying over her dead mother or for being excited at going through that week, god forbid :drama: There will as always though be a female who did dance before or is instantly good and gets the brunt of the hate, always is :/

August 6, 20186 yr Author http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/strictly-come...t-judge-rinder/ A spokesperson for the show said: "Strictly has chosen the traditional format of mixed-sex couples and at the moment we have no plans to introduce same-sex couples." :rolleyes:

Probably worried they might lose a 78 year old former BNP voter from the Home Counties :lol:
August 7, 20186 yr Traditional is in the same category as Normal for me so I do find it slightly offensive that same-sex couples (Even on a dancing show) are not viewed as normal still :/
August 7, 20186 yr Author https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/69648...e-dancing-2018/ The Sun are reporting that Faye Tozer has signed up.

August 9, 20186 yr Tess Daly revealed on Instagram that the names will begin to be revealed on 13h August! Ashley is very well liked but I'm sure she'd still get the usual hate for dancing before and end up coming 6th :lol:
August 9, 20186 yr Feels odd its this time of year already as usually I associate Strictly/ XF with the countdown to Christmas time and the winter. Ashley I think would be interesting and would imagine her going very far... same with Faye
