    Strictly Come Dancing 4!!

    Hi there, i know its early to be discussing this but i saw Darren and Lilia at Dorking last night (they were amazing by the way! ) and they were talking about the new series and im now very excited especially as i have found out who the dancers have been paired up with!! (by the way D&L didnt give us this information)


    Emma Bunton (ex Spice Girl) - Darren Bennett
    Georgina Bouzova (Ellen in Casualty) - James Jordan
    Claire King (Emmerdale / Bad Girls) – Brendan Cole
    Louisa Lytton (Ruby in Eastenders) – Vincent Simone
    Mica Paris (Singer / What not to wear) – Ian Waite
    Jan Ravens (Dead Ringers) – Anton Du Beck
    Carol Smillie (TV presenter) – Matthew Cutler

    Matt Dawson (Rugby player) – Lilia Kopylova
    Ray Fearon (Nathan in Coronation Street) – Camilla Dallerup
    Nicholas Owen (newsreader) – Nicole Cutler
    Mark Ramprakash (cricketer) – Karen Hardy
    Peter Schmeichel (Man U Goalkeeper) – Erin Boag
    Spoony (Radio 5 Live DJ) - Aleksandra ‘Ola’ Jordan
    Jimmy Tarbuck (comedian) – Flavia Cacace

    Feel sorry for Flavia as she deserves someone better than that but well done Darren!

    S. xx

    Cheers!

    Here's a link to the BBC's press release.

    From it you'll see there's a slight change to the format of the show:

    In a change to last year's format, week one sees the boys dancing to stay in the competition whilst the girls entertain with a group mambo.

    In week two the female celebrities fight to stay in the competition whilst the men kick back with a group West Coast Swing.

    From week three all couples will compete against each other performing either the jive or the tango.
    Oooh! Look! West Coast Swing!

    BTW... tickets are now available, if anyone's interested & dedicated enough to phone up...

    I was chatting with Vincent on Monday and he was saying how 'miffed' Flavia was about being paired with Jimmy Tarbuck
    I think Vincent has a brilliant chance though. He seems really confident about dancing with the girl from Eastenders.

    SO

    Please vote for Vincent everyone (ok, blatant grovelling)

    If not Vincent then my money is on Matthew and Carol. She seems to be the right height for him and they should look good together.

    Cant wait

    It's vicious, this dancing world, isn't it?

    (Waiting now for "celebrity mud-wrestling", it's an idea whose time has come)

    Jimmy Tarbuck?

    Not that I have anything against WCS, I think its great, but its not exactly ballroom, is it? I thought this was supposed to be a ballroom competition.


    My money's on Peter Schmeichel as the surprise of the series, I don't know why, I just think he might be quite good.

    From reading the quote, I get the impression that the WSC is going to be a group demo, rather than part of the competition. As always, I could be wrong....

    Matt Dawson v The judges might be a good contest given the way he used to try and influence the referees when he was playing rugby.

    I'm glad Karen's in it again - I'd heard rumours that she didn't want to do another season.

    She was my favourite pro - she seemed really warm, and such charisma!

    Re: Strictly Come Dancing 4!!

    If everyone is voting for their teachers then maybe i should vote for Vincent and Flavia?? However i don't think Flavia will get very far because of her celeb which is a shame as she is a lovely teacher and dancer.

    I wish Kylie Jones was on it again as she is a fantastic teacher but never really got a chance to shine!

    Im backing Darren and Lilia as always but i think its going to be an interesting show!

    Nope - never been. But to be honest, I don't know if I'm missing much - I don't think I could stand around queueing for hours, I'm too impatient.

    I'd happily buy tickets if they were sold in a normal way, to avoid queueing - I agree the current system is insanity.

    Just found these photos and stuck 'em together, for anyone (like me) who wasn't sure who some of the celebs were

    Sorry didn't leave myself enough room to label the girls + couldn't be bothered

    Interesting you say this, because if given the choice I would rather have a sincere older dancer to be, who may not be the worlds best dancer (even after training) but will probably take the competition more seriously.

    I think that Jimmy Tarbuck will probably try harder than maybe some of the younger competitors would, as although not as old as Bruce Forsyth he has been brought up in a similar ethos of hard work and determination...

    I would rather vote for someone who is trying hard and showing that they are enjoying the experience.(even if not the best dancer). after all dance is for Everyone - no matter what the age....

    You only have to look at Bruce Forsyth to show that Age is no barrier!

    After all - Bruce is 78!

    Yeah, but the trouble is, that's not how the competitions work. The oldies may last a while, because they try harder, but they're very unlikely to win. It's a visual medium, it's an ageist audience, and younger people generally look better.

    So if I were a professional competitor, all other things being equal, I'd go for the younger one.

    Yes I suppose I agree. As far as I can see though factoring in the audience is impossible - anything can happen and probably will..

    Will happily watch and vote every time.

    I know what you mean, I hated the queuing, but once in it was well worth it - I had a fantastic time (each) time I went, and meeting the prof dancers afterwards was amazing. But I am a groupie.

    i agree re buying tickets - and making more dosh for charity - but the been tell me they can't sell them. Some licensing issue (although they didn't even have a licence until recently!

    Re: Strictly Come Dancing 4!!

    One week to go

    I'll do the usual TV schedule to start with, but I may be off line from Nov for a few weeks.

    Anyhow, the show starts next Saturday (7th) at the later than usual time of 19:50. No sign of the sister BBC 3 show as yet, but I'm on the lookout

    Getting excited now, and I can't wait for it to begin!! (what a sad 40 something eh? )
