Strictly Come Dancing 2018

[Cleoriff]

It's that time of year again folks.

From Monday August 13th they will start revealing the candidates for this years show. I understand the first one will be on that nights episode of the One Show.

Many names being bandied about and people are even putting bets on them? (A bit stupid when there's been nothing official yet)

Anyway names in the mix so far

Cheryl Cole (can't see that happening)

Ashley Roberts  (former Pussycat Doll)

Lee Ryan (from Blue)

Faye Tozer (from Steps)

Les Dennis

Tom Daley

Steph Mc Govern BBC Newscaster.

Dan Walker (Sports Presenter)

Colleen Rooney (can't see that as they have just upped sticks and moved to the US for Waynes football career)

Michelle Keegan (Corrie and Our Girl)

Mark Labbett (The Beast) from The Chase.

Kate Silverstone (BBC Newsreader)

That's all I've got so far and probably half of them are wrong but hey...

What is certain , the judging panel and the presenters remain the same.

Also the guy who will replace the lovely Brendon Cole is Neil Jones. He has been on the show as a back up dancer and is married to last years winning professional Katya Jones

[Cleoriff]

Stacey and Kevin. An excellent foxtrot. Much improved. Well done her. 39 (with Craig giving the only 9)

[Cleoriff]

Faye and Giovanni ...no surprise with the score of 40 for that dance. Performed superbly.

[Glory1]

And now we get Joe's paso Hmmm........

[Cleoriff]

Joe and Dianne. Paso Doble. I never felt this was his dance, though this was a vast improvement.

Bruno slightly OTT (as usual) with his comments, Craig spot on with his. Score 39

[sheepdog]

That was some showdance from Ashley. Haven't had one of those for years where we've had lifts and twists.

But won't be enough to win the public over though. 

[Cleoriff]

Ashley and Pasha. Thank you for that superb showdance. Sensational artistic interpretation.

Scored 40

[Glory1]

I agree @sheepdog, it was absolutely superb. Such a pity it'l do her no good with the public. As Craig said they should get over themselves.

[Glory1]

Go Stacey. Fantastic and frantic. Well done.

[sheepdog]

Oh dear. Not exactly impressed by Stacey's running and jumping around routine. That might have have lost her the glitterball. Too much crammed in to make sense for me. 

[Cleoriff]

Stacey and Kevin.....I absolutely loved that. Land of 1000 dances turned out to be a brilliant choice of music although for a showdance, some of it was a mish mash of stuff they have done before.... Score 36

Kevin not happy with that score..
