Height and the fact last year she had the best male dancer so now she has more of a challenge

Such a waste...

Maybe or maybe not a lot of them are saying marty could be a surprise, also it gives people like Karen an opportunity to show what she can do with someone with more experience

Disagree. Last year I thought Karen was going to have a disaster with Des but she made the most of the partnership and they overachieved.

They overachieved because Des was popular and they got votes, not because Des could dance. He barely improved over the course of the show. He was awful.
My one hope is that Ksenia will drill some dancing ability into Marty.

EDIT: anyway, can't wait for it to start.

Really looking forward to this year . I love Strictly but enjoy the less pressurised Irish version !

I think we're going to see some really competitive people this year, particularly with the three sportspeople. No better people to get into the spirit of it and give 100%.

Would they not just give Darren the job altogether?

Julian seems a bit..... flaky!

Was the show the other night just about the pairing-up process, or was there any other reason to watch? All so contrived and fake that I won't bother looking for it if that's all it was.... at this stage I've seen the pairings anyhow!

Darren is creative director so he already has a job on the show although I kind of agree maybe even just add Darren as a fourth judge

Ksenia and Marty - why? Just why??!!

Look at the bright side. Marty will be in the show right to the final 3 no matter how crap he may be. Therefore Ksenia will be in the show right to the end.
Nom nom....:pac:

Is there any betting on DWTS?

Ryaner179

New advert actually is pretty well done sort of in the same league of some older Strictly ads

Yeah http://www.paddypower.com/bet/tv-specials/dancing-with-the-stars-ireland

Paddy Power have Anna, Jake and Erin as favorites

honeybear

Without seeing their first dance, I'm rooting for Erin-she was hilarious on the LLS-Marty looked petrified of her! In the photos, Maia looks elegant. I was disappointed with SCD this year so I hope DWTS is better.

I was hoping it would just be the judges but looks like they're bringing back some of the contestants from last year as well in that case.
How long before Ray asks Thalia how she's getting on with Ryan. :rolleyes:

I don't know if I'll watch this or Dancing on Ice tonight. I always find shows when there's no elimination a little boring.(If they are doing the same thing as last year)

Amanda nearly tripped on the stairs! Is it an omen for the series..

Conor Bourke

Amanda almost fell down the stairs, fluffed the autocue and she is wooden as ever. Marvellous!

Looking forward to another series of Walking Dancing With the Stars Siblings

BettePorter

Amanda has a Celine dion affect about her. All the faux facial expressions and delivery.

Julian is sick again??? Didn't that happen last year as well? FFS. Just use the other guy permanently


I don't think Amanda is as wooden this year. Still bad though. And jebus her script!!!!

Ah no. Any of us can get sick. Doesn't sound great 2 yrs in a row. Hope it's not serious.

Eyepatch

Amanda's hairstyle does nothing for her, IMO. Looks terrible, in fact.
