[@adelinedlv3131]

As a French viewer, to me the English version of the show is the best one !!

[@angelaburrow8114]

The best for me were Will, Fleur & Tyler. There are several others who can hold the rhythm to, so should make nice progress. Some also seem flexible or loose in their movements, which always helps. I think most have potential to improve a lot, to get to a decent standard. I'm looking forward to this season.

[@pennyandfishy7241]

What a fun group dance to start off with this year! Definitely alot of energy and vibes with this group I think, they always seem to get the boxes ticked. Well so far looking at this, I would say Fleur and Jayde look like they are clear front runners with great rhythm (no surprise really, Fleur will be our equivalent to DWTS having Charli D on theirs and Jayde is just pure passion and heart). Helen and Kym look like they have good potential too. For the males, Tyler looks to have plenty of musicality and rhythym and Richie has the pizzazz to go quite far, Will looked surprisingly very good as well. I would say the ones who most need work are Ellie T, Tony and James! Although despite that I think them 3 will bring great entertainment. Kaye looks like she is terrified but she was giving it quite alot, hope she loosens up. Molly definitely looks like she can move! Ellie S will be a great partnership with Nikita too I reckon. Didn't see alot of Matt but I think he looked decent enough. Hamza seems sweet and he seems to have pretty good footwork and hes fearless so he'll be up for new things. Honestly a really promising cast! Can't wait to comment again 😊💕

Strictly has always casted a variety of celebs. Rather than celebs that every single viewer will know, by casting celebs from all different areas of entertainment and sport, olympics, reality starts, tv presents, football, children’s networks, comedians, soaps, music, etc they bring in a wider audience.

What a shambles of contestants. Completely unfair selection, the para Olympic swimmer will have no chance of winning the large blond woman has no chance. Fleur is an established dancer, her uptown funk video proves that. So why waste weeks if people’s time and energy and give the glitter ball to Fleur now she is a foregone conclusion, the contestants line up is disgraceful, I shan’t be watching that is for sure.

[@tomhayes413]

The selection must be very hard if you really want everyone on the exact same level of ability - also Jayde was hella good

[@user-zw2hn9eu1l]

And people said the same thing about Rose last year because she couldn’t hear the music yet she went on and won the show. Just because fleur can dance doesn’t mean she’ll win. Aston merrygold from jls was also a dancer he didn’t win and neither did Maisie smith who was also a dance, ballroom dance is very different to dancing in a music video.

[@paulahowse6543]

@@user-zw2hn9eu1l Yes but Rose had the sympathy vote and she was NOTprofoundly deaf ,so she exaggerated her level of hearing I call that cheating.

[@user-zw2hn9eu1l]

@@paulahowse6543 how is it cheating? She couldn’t hear as well as others and one week her hearing aids broke so that effected her training, also Giovanni had to learn how to teach a deaf person how to dance when she can’t hear. She didn’t get a sympathy vote, even if rose could her perfectly she was still very good for a non dancer. Don’t watch the show if you don’t like it. And if you watched last night Ellie’s dance was also very good. I don’t know exactly what your problem is whether it’s disabled people dancing or the fleur east might have a chance if doing well. It’s week one you can’t predict the winner yet

[@paulahowse6543]

@@user-zw2hn9eu1l of course it is cheating if she has stated she is profoundly deaf and then all of a sudden she has some hearing and wearing hearing aids, people felt sorry for her. Then as for Ellie how will it be fair how can she do a waltz with her arms held properly or are they going to adapt the dances to suit her height how is that fair on the other contestants, they need a show for disabled people so it is fair. I knew they would vote Fleur with low marks, to give the other contestants a chance. The judges need to be replaced, with a non biased panel. Don’t worry I will definitely NOT be watching this embarrassment of a show. Why does everything have to be so politically correct. And NO I have nothing against disabled people as I looked after adults with disabilities and learning difficulties.
