We're all thinking the same. The 'covid' years of 2020 and 2021 feel like one year. Time really has flown I find.

freshpopcorn · 04-12-2021 10:33PM

Now that I've got year correct.

These people have being spotted at reheraals.

Neil Delamare comedia.

Ellen Keane an Irish Paralympic gold medal.

Aengus Mac Grianna former news reader.

Missy Keating Ronans daughter.

Yes and it sounds like he has been treated badly.

Glad to see he has good things to say about Julian Benson. Notably, he didn't mention the other judges or the presenters.

I hope he gets snapped up by Strictly in the UK (if that's what he wants) because from what I remember he has strong partnering skills and a strong personality.

The RTÈ show is a Mickey Mouse production in fairness.

Heroditas · 05-12-2021 08:11PM

He's too old to be a pro on Strictly nowadays. Strictly only focuses on eye candy pros who might not even be that technically proficient. That's what makes Kai's introduction to the series this year very surprising. He's actually bloody good!

The budget for the RTE show is a tiny fraction of what the BBC one is. They do a very good job, all things considering.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the pros on DWTS have been of a far superior quality than the ones on Strictly recently.

Grainne Seoige!

Man Vs ManUre · 06-12-2021 03:29PM

I wouldn’t feel any sympathy for that McShane fella. He’s the make version of Karen, him and his bird Thalia will do anything for a bit of publicity. He’s jumping on the mental health bandwagon now, no doubt we’ll see him on the next series of celebrity he’ll week.

freshpopcorn · 12-12-2021 03:17PM

Erica Cody.

Nicolas Roche.

I've a feeling that there's gonna be a lot of "Who da f** is dat?" at the start of this series. The only one of the above I wouldn't have to google is Nicolas Roche. Just as well that the "Star" aspect of the show isn't really all that important.

freshpopcorn · 13-12-2021 06:26PM

Cathy Kelly!

freshpopcorn · 13-12-2021 06:26PM

freshpopcorn · 14-12-2021 12:11PM

Final two.

Jordon Conroy and Matthew MacNabb.

"stars"

Shameful for RTE as a national broadcaster to lose most of the sporting rights and then pay these nobodies 3k a week...

Pussyhands · 06-01-2022 11:43PM

Thought yer wan Erica Coady looked familar. She's the one who played the race card last year when she had a public spat with Versatile.

From RTE:

Star status: Erica Cody is one of the brightest new stars to breakthrough into the Irish music industry in recent years. In 2020, Erica was one of the most prominent voices in Ireland amid the Black Lives Matter protests. She was named one of Irish Country Magazine's Women to Watch in 2020. Erica was part of the Irish collective of female singers and musicians, Irish Women in Harmony, who recorded a version of Dreams by The Cranberries. Proceeds went to a charity which deals with domestic abuse which rose significantly during the Covid-19 lockdown.

What are RTE smoking? One of the brightest new stars to breakthrough? One might expect the next sentence to list a song or two that did well, got played on the radio or did well in the charts....but no, it's "she was a voice during the Black Lives Matter protests".

She was named one of Irish Country Magazine's Women to Watch in 2020

Big publication! A whole 10k twitter followers. 😂We're in 2022 and I don't think 99.9% of Irish people would have ever heard of her. Some claim to fame...being "one to watch" 2 years ago in some nobodies blog.

Her biggest claim to fame is being part of a choir that released one cover song. lol

RTE are embarrassing. Another tick the box.

alan partridge aha · 07-01-2022 10:36AM

Agree 100%, box ticking exercise. Anyone who supports blm shouldn't be let near the media.

I remember when that happened. She videoed the whole thing and posted it on Instagram. She was in her car completely freaking out because done other car drive into the carpark and was hanging around. The versatile fella even had his bird in the car with him, so whatever they were doing she was also a part of it, so I doubt they were doing much other than a bit of messing. And Cody had a big written spiel about it all of how she was being victimised and bullied. Now I don’t know really what went on between these 2 but she made an awful hullabaloo about this carpark incident, and she got a lot of attention and sympathy from the woke warmy.

I highly doubt they get all get paid 3k a week?

freshpopcorn · 08-01-2022 05:02PM

Matthew MacNabb has Covid.

As does Emily Barker which means Aengus Mac Grianna is isolating.

Atlantic Dawn · 08-01-2022 05:07PM

I presume this show is live? Are they going to bring an audience in until 8pm and then feck them out for the last half hour?

fits · 08-01-2022 05:28PM

I didn’t know any of the folks on strictly either but it was a good show this year. Not sure I’ll bother with this now

3k a week was the figure for everyone when it started. It's probably up to 4k now.

They do it to compensate the contestants for missed earning opportunities...

Maybe that’s true but I would of thought Grainne Seoige would command a higher fee than Erica Coady? I’d be surprised if they were all getting the same fee.

Larbre34 · 08-01-2022 11:28PM

This is going to be a glorious slow motion of a car wreck that will have very little to do with dancing in the end.

Ginger, get the Popcorn.
