For the fans of the original DWTS! Talk about it here. Are you looking forward to Alesha as judge? Should Arlene have been let go???

No, I'm not looking forward to it.
Alesha is great and she was a deserving champion, along with the very pretty Matt Cutler, but she's no expert. Arlene knows her stuff. Yes, she was annoying at times, especially with the way she would openly drool over the more attractive male constestants. Occasionally it was embarrassing as she just wouldn't quit. It was never a simple observation. But I liked her because she always told it as she saw it. If the dance wasn't up to scratch, she would say so.
Unfortunately, the BBC have this habit of dropping women from TV shows once they feel they are too old. They have no problem with older men being involved however.

It's a bit like DWTS except they bring in younger pro's now. We still have our fan favorite "older" pros (Maks, Karina, Tony etc) but we also have pro's that are just barely in their 20's or not at all (our newest pro is 21, & our newest pro from last season is only 19). I wish that they'd bring back former pro's...EXCEPT Brian Fortuna. SCD can keep him. He was NOT popular here. lol
Have they announced the celeb lineup for this fall? The MB's are open now (I was there last night) but no news yet of the competing couples.

I heard that Brian wasn't popular in the US. Why is that? Most of the fans of SCD adore him.
He's supposed to be doing this new show on the BBC about the wheelchair ballroom that he and Sandra teach. I might watch it just for the drool factor!

To be honest a lot of us thought he looked like a serial killer. His promo shots for the season he was on were NOT flattering at all plus when he danced he had the most distracting facial expressions. They just sort of screamed "I've got someone hiding in my basement & if you don't watch yourself you'll be next".
Later on this evening I'll find some of those promo shots & post them here so you can see what I'm talking about LOL.

Oh my god, that's too funny! I shall look forward to seeing those pics, although I think I know what you mean actually. He does have that strange forced smile that he uses, and it's not good. But when he dances he is soooo hot!
Also, he was on the companion show "It Takes Two" a lot doing interviews and stuff, and he comes across as a really sweet guy.

Oh I have no doubt that he's a nice guy. He's a good dancer (I saw him on the DWTS tour in 2008) but I can't get past his looks lol.

I like Matthew Cutler too! I've heard he's gay though which is a shame because he's playing for the wrong team w/all the women that drool over him lol.

Yes, I think he is gay. Certainly the majority of the posters on the BBC Messageboards during the show's run are of that opinion.
Although, there are a few deniers who continue to offer up the "but he was married to Nicole" statement. Because *enter sarcasm* naturally, one who is gay can never have married!

The line up for SCD was announced today. Here for anyone who's interested is a copy/paste from Yahoo News:
From soapland we have former EastEnders' actress Natalie Cassidy, who will be dancing with Vincent Simone and fellow EastEnder Ricky Groves, whose partner is Erin Boag. Coronation Street is represented by Craig Kelly (dancing with Flavia Cacace) and Hollyoaks' Ricky Whittle will be taking part alongside professional dancer Natalie Lowe.
Footballers' Wives' actresses Zoe Lucker (dancing with James Jordan) and Laila Rouass (dancing with Anton Du Beke) will be reunited on the show, and the showbiz line-up is completed by actress and presenter Lynda Bellingham (dancing with Darren Bennett) and The Bill's Ali Bastian, who is dancing with Brian Fortuna.
The sporting world is represented by former women's world number one tennis player Martina Hingis, who is dancing with Matthew Cutler, and Olympic athlete Jade Johnston, who is dancing with Ian Waite. They are joined by horse racing legend Richard Dunwoody (dancing with Lilia Kopylova) and boxing world champion Joe Calzaghe (dancing with Kristina Rihanoff). I'm A Celebrity winner and former cricketer Phil Tufnell, who is dancing with Katya Virshilas, completes the sporting line-up.
BBC presenters Chris Hollins (dancing with Ola Jordan) and Rav Wilding (dancing with Aliona Vilani) will also take part, alongside model and businesswoman Jo Wood, who is dancing with Brendan Cole.
In a big departure, this year's series will kick off on a Friday night and there will be editions on both Friday and Saturday for the first two weeks. There have also been changes to the voting system and how points are awarded in the event of a tie in judges' scores. This means - and we quote - 'should there be a tie any one couple can be saved from the dance off, and no one couple is safe'. Hopefully you understand that bit.
