Oh yeah thats right hes living with his brother.
- Notice
None of the women announced yet strike me as likely winners. It'll be more of the same - the cast stacked with female contenders and mediocre male contestants with 1 or 2 contenders amongst the men, one of whom ends up winning. It's happened several times and they still don't change it.
Stacking the cast with a few more male ringers might actually make a female victory more likely if the men cancel out each other's vote. In a year like 2015, Jay stood out as the only decent male in a year with tons of female contenders and it was kinda the same with Scottish Joe in 2017 once Aston was eliminated.

I've wondered if they would have let Neil go along with Chloe in 2018 if he hadn't been married to Katya at the time. They clearly had no intention of giving Chloe a partner so thought it best to end her contract, yet still kept Neil on the bench

I check in on DS to see the gossip from time to time
Yeah Harry & Louis were sort of similar but I think Kelvin and Max seem even more similar. I think Maisie and Max seem to be the front runners so far; probably Maisie ahead of Max as she is a girl and a guy won it last year, and she is from a well loved soap and we know a lot of the viewers love a current actor from a soap in the final
. The only thing I guess she has against her is dance experience so she could be like a Karim in that sense but if she is loveable enough she could be like a Stacey Dooley/Emma Barton. The older person winning??? They would have to do a hell of a lot like really good dances like a Debbie Mcgee as well as being extremely likeable which I can see Caroline being so who knows she could get quite far as there are less contestants this year.
I think Jacqui, Bill and Ranvir seem to be first out candidates but who knows.
The first interviews are out:
FIRST LOOK Strictly Come Dancing 2020
This year's celebrities share their thoughts about joining the class of Strictly Come Dancing 2020 as their glam shots are revealed for the first time!If ever there was a year when we needed Strictly Come Dancing, it's 2020 - and thankfully this year's series is now just over a week away with...

Who else remembers Neil’s attempts at comedy in the form of Nell de Jaunse?
www.bbc.co.uk
BBC Two - Strictly - It Takes Two, Series 16, Episode 45, Nell De Jaunse: Salsa
Nell and Tallulah teach us the salsa!
I really liked the best of final episode tonight! Although I have to admit I definitely shed some tears on Carolines part; such a sad story but she was definitely a star on strictly
Moving to a funnier note I'm excited for the new series to start next week and I'm glad there is going to be new dances to go mad over and a new champion. I'm saying this because if I have to see Oti gloat one more time...........................
SPOILER ALERT:
I've done some digging based on who the pros and contestants follow on instagram and there are 2 potential couples. Obviously this is just a guess and I've put in a spoiler tab in case people don't want to know. I'd advise anyone not to look at the pros/contestant follow lists on instagram if they don't want to be spoiled (even though this isn't a definite).
Karen is following Max and no other contestant
Gorka is following Maisie and no other contestant
Katya and Nicola is a go from pap pics.
Anyway the VT's and first interviews are being filmed on Monday and then the first show on Saturday!!!!
Karen & Max seems interesting, could see that one working. I guess he could be her best dancer yet?
Gorka really deserves a partner like Maisie, he's been overlooked compared to the other younger male pros. Would love if this was true.

I think this could be a strange year for pairings with a few surprises. The interview a few pages back with the Executive Producer said that one half of the partnership will have to be a single household so I reckon they'll do the partnerships based on that, so a contestant living with family will have a partner who does already or could live alone. I can see a few wildcards on the horizon in terms of partnerships...

According to The Sun Nadiya is another pro who won't get a celeb partner this year.
Meanwhile, Neil and his girlfriend are in the headlines again. Apparently she was reported as an illegal immigrant by her ex.

Do you mean if I was a celebrity or let's say they did a civilian episode?
To answer both than yes definitely!
I mean if I was an A-list celeb like a well known singer or actor then no but if I was a celeb looking to give their career a kick start or if opportunities had dwindled than why not.
The pay is the best of all the reality/competing shows as its the BBC plus its the most well loved by the public.
Male same sex partnership - and no not competing, two of the pros dance together last year, resulting in a lot of backlash, but hopefully the British public can’t get over their homophobia and it will be a more common thing especially as same sex female partners are quite common in ballroom anways
Thank you!
Agree, it's a no from me to James and Brendan, their egos would be out of control. Speaking of Brendan, I'm currently watching through playlists of old Strictly series, and ive just watched the monstronsity that is Brendan and Lisa Snowdon's showdance
I think the week or so before, they had a really accomplished show dance couple on in the pro slot and I'm certain that made Brendan's imagination go into overdrive. Poor Lisa. She looked like she was going to be stuffed into an oven and served up with cranberry sauce and chipolatas.
He's 21 and I doubt the BBC would have booked him if he fell into any other sort of vulnerable category so I reckon that he'll be fine as long as he does his isolation. Might mean that he needs to meet his partner via Zoom though.
Bit of perspective ultimately needed - better that someone (and one of the least at risk in the cast) tests positive a few weeks pre-series than anything happening during the middle of the series or to someone at more risk.
