Right age and physique I guess.

She's very curvy which is nice but I'd have thought dvo's figure would be better for the fast dances.

She's a difficult one. Is she loved or hated by women?

My guess is she'll be shyte, along with Vaughan

If you look on gormley, you'll see she'll be pretty good.

Certainly not an old duffer anyway

to check, you on about fern, not vicky?

Sadly lacking in geriatrics for you this line up

There's a Jerryatric

She could dance on jagger's c0ck, dunno about much else

nice

Managed to watch the first bit last night before going out, so saw Victoria Pendleton - and the reveal of the first four.

Anything major from the rest of the programme?

Must admit, I had been concerned VP's personality might be a bit suspect regards gaining votes, but thought she came across superbly on TOS couch.

Russell Grant and MAtthew VAughan were talking on 5Live this morning.  MV said he was training all Saturday and Sunday, and was about to set off for more work on the show for today.  Said he found it incredibly challenging, aching in places he'd never ached before, said he's not a natural dancer at family parties, weddings, etc.  Also mentioned that part of his reasons for giving up cricket were his dodgy knee and dodgy feet so unsure as to how that will affect his progress.

Victoria Pendleton just tweeted:

"Just like to warn everyone, dance experience is zero, unless jumping up and down in DM boots is considered dancing"

Current odds probably a fair reflection, but could still be a decent back to lay.  Can't see her leaving the competition early even if she has no chance of winning...

Cheers for the info squares.
Vaughan's wiki page mentions his dodgy knees, as he was a decent footballer too, but is quoted as saying that he's knees would never have held up if he'd become a pro footballer.
So that must be a worry.

As for Pendleton, I thought she came over well on TOS too. The worry with female sportswomen is they can come over as too competitve.
Gabby Logan the most famous example. I really like her as a presenter but her competitve instict was so apparent during SCD and killed any chance she had.

male winner NAP

Attractive, brassy, confident blonde. Sounds exactly what SCD voters don't like to me

VP on TM 2moro

Kimberley Walsh is going to be extremely sexy in those outfits

how this helps I don't know (in betting terms I mean)

but anyway I make it 1.2 a male winner and will lay all the birds when they shorten

Unsure how it will affect her price, but many fans of the show will consider DvO a ringer. Seems a very unlikely winner to me, but might shorten on ability.

Difficult to deramp an olympic hero too
