Oops - for some reason I didnt see the excellent thread entitled SCD 2010 - contestants revealed.
|
By:
Maybe we should go with your thread now Froggitt for general chat about the upcoming series...?
|
By:
With 1st elimination not happening until October 9, by my reckoning this means we will end up with a 4-couple final, assuming the final is on w/e of December 18/19, and no one has to pull out.
Given at least one celeb has pulled out in last few series, I reckon this is the Beeb hedging its bets and figuring it'll likely end up a 3-couple final. |
By:
Sure - it shows how long Ive been hibernating for!!!
Felicity Kendall has to be the value for traders IMHO.....and The Millionaire Paul Daniels....can see them both lasting a good few weeks. |

Female Tweeters already going weak at the knees for this new pro Jared Murillo:

Goodie goodie BBC boy Matt Baker is gonna appeal to the same **** who liked the totally forgettable sports news reader bloke from last year...
|
By:
Couldn't forget Mincey, noodles. That was a great night
![]() A couple of the ladeez could challenge this year as they come across as nice enough from what I've seen. Scott is bound to be very popular but it's been picked off already. |
By:
lol i couildnt think of his name at all... and then i remebered his dad the footballer (equally mincey [;)] )
|
By:
can't have Scott Maslan tbh, if his dancing is like his acting (wooden) then he has no chance

By:
Pairings according to the detectives on DS -
Anton - Anne Brendan - Michelle James - Pamela Jared - Tina Vincent - Felicity Kara/Patsy left with Artem/Robin Erin - Peter Flavia - Jimi Kristina - Goldie Ola - Paul Gavin/Matt/Scott left with Aliona/Katya/Natalie |
By:
Matt didn't look that tall standing next to mincey today so he could have katya.
Scott the tallest? so could have natalie, which leaves Gavin and Aliona. |
By:
I knew Ola would get Paul Daniels - previous year's winner invariably stitched.
Some seem to think it's likely to be Gavin and Natalie, but I think you probably have those last 3 right, fll Kensit is 5'5 so whichever is smaller out of those last 2 male pros for her ![]() |
By:
If Matt has got either Aliona or Katya that's a nice pairing for him.
Natalie is an ice maiden imo |
By:
Scott and Gavin both around 6ft according to various sources.
I can't find Matt's height ![]() You'd want to avoid Natalie really, although she probably wouldn't be so bad with a more likeable partner than whittle. A nice pic of Katya at the launch. http://twitpic.com/2mhanq |
By:
Kara will get less votes from the public than Rachel and Lisa put together.
|
By:
Sounds like that pieced together DS list is a little off. But it could be a double bluff and the DS Reporter is trying to throw a curve ball with latest posts.
|
By:
sean, do you say that for any reason in particular?, ie. do you know something we don't?
|
By:
I was about to ask the same squares.
Yes, she played a bit of a trollop in eastenders, but comes over very well in interviews. I think she'll be very popular and she can clearly dance going by her appearance on comic relief. She certainly appeals more than the other young female we know can dance, Michelle. |
By:
Kara scrubs up like the perfect English rose imo. I reckon she will be very elegant in ballroom and well capable of unleashing in fast Latins.
Hardest thing for all these pretty young females is harnessing substantial public vote but I'd favour Kara achieving this over the other pretty young things in this year's comp. |
By:
Agree with you two.
She seems extremely down to earth and warm when interviewed. Seems popular with young girls from youtube comments, etc. Lisa wasn't hugely well known in the way that Kara is. Kara is more "current" than Rachel having finished Eastenders not too long ago, and was a bit of a likeable tart with a heart really. Rachel always seemed aloof and a bit of a cold fish. Lisa was always blubbing at the drop of a hat, although I thought she had a superb body for dancing and her and Brendan at their best were great to watch. |
By:
Interested why you say that also Sean, as sad to say I seem to agree for once with Johnny and 5LL (can't be a good sign
![]() |
By:
Kara was one of the 'ladeez' I was referring to earlier, she has real 'one of the girls' feel about her, lacking the arrogance of a sleb. I'd be surprised if she wasn't popular but I won't be backing her at these levels. Tina I feel will be well received also.
|
By:
DS has completed the jigsaw it looks like:
Natalie Loew& Gavin Henson Katya Vershilis & Scott Maslen Aliona Vilani & Matt Baker Flavia Cacace & Jimi Mistry Erin Boag & Peter Shilton Ola Jordan & Paul Daniels Kristina Rihanoff & Goldie Brendan Cole & Michelle WIlliams James Jordan & Pamela Stephenson Anton Du Beke & Anne Widdecombe Jared Murillo & Tina O'Brien Artem & Patsy Kensit Vincent Simone & Felicity Kendall Robin Windsor & Kara Tointin Slight question mark still over Artem and Robin as they are both built similarly. |
By:
Thanks for that Johnny,
please god ensure Anton and Anne are out very early, I'm not sure I can face watching the show with them on it ![]() |
By:
Was hoping for Katya/Matt, not an Aliona fan
![]() |
By:
I reckon Aliona will be a decent partner for Matt. OK, we didn't see her beyond the first 2 weeks last year and she got lambasted by Len for the choreography she chose. Hopefully she has learned from that. She also came across well on ITT and in the group dances she was stand out. Think she'll be happier to have a sleeker partner in Matt compared to the roid popping, Incredible Hulk frame of Rav.
|
By:
I hope so Johnny, its not so much her dancing ability but for no real reason that I can put my finger on I took a fairly instant dislike to her. Did she perhaps talk back at the judges after being scored poorly or criticised with Rav?
Just a recollection, couldn't be absolutely certain and not strong enough (yet) to put me off him as a contender. |
By:
I think there may have been a moment when she was hurt by Len or Craig or maybe Bruno getting stuck in, but she's certainly a whole lot warmer as an individual than, say, Nathalie Lowe. If he was paired with her that would be a squiggle beside his name.
|
By:
I'd have preferred Katya for Matt, but Aliona is OK.
Gavin has drawn the short straw and the rumour on DS is that he's almost as wooden as Calzaghe. |
By:
and the same colour as the Cuprinol wooden man
|
By:
Ann Widdecombe - Anton Du Beke
Felicity Kendal - Vincent Simone Gavin Henson - Katya Virshilas Goldie - Kristina Rihanoff Jimi Mistry - Flavia Cacace Kara Tointon - Artem Chigvintsev Matt Baker - Aliona Vilani Michelle Williams - Brendan Cole Pamela Stephenson - James Jordan Patsy Kensit - Robin Windsor Paul Daniels - Ola Jordan Peter Shilton - Erin Boag Scott Maslen - Natalie Lowe Tina O'Brien - Jared Murillo |
By:
Not good for Scott then.
|
By:
Not good for us if Gavin is shyte :(
|
By:
Matt Baker top male looks decent enough at 5-2. I also like Tina top female at 7-2.
|
By:
both decent value
|
By:
There's definitely value in the elimination market too, I expect Paul and Ann to survive. Shilts and Goldie are the bets.
|
By:
not sure about Paul surviving, don't know how the public will perceive him. He can be quite annoying. But he is certainly well known. Looks as if one in that list is priced incorrectly though. Big value.
|
By:
Henson ? Tough to guage how many votes he will pull in with the welsh factor, but I suspect he isn't that well liked there. The others I considered were Stephenson and Williams. But Shilts will struggle with dancing and polling I suspect.
