Bonus Bite Strictly Runners And Riders We've categorised them, given them the once-over and tried not to swear, and so here are the big contenders... BBC Nonentities Rav Wilding and Aliona Sounds like the set-up to an annoying film: "He was a tough-talking TV policeman... She was a ballroom dancer." Hope he gets whacked repeatedly in the balls, the rugby-loving t w a t. Natalie Cassidy and Vincent Is there no end to Natalie's talents? No, sorry. Is there no end to Natalie? Just stop it, you massive black hole of vapid. We would be praying for her to fall over and break her vocal chords but then we'd have to watch the 'My Speechless Hell' documentary after, where she'd write badly spelled post-it notes containing her stupid thoughts and hold them slowly up the camera. All the while smiling and crying like a tragic cartoon monster. Chris Hollins and Ola How do they get big names like a BBC Sports reporter to participate? Out at the first opportunity. Tragic for Ola. Footballer's Wives/soap people Ali Bastian and Brian From the Hollyoaks to The Bill, Ali has always been capable of whining on cue. But can her ability to play characters who constantly whinge translate to success in the Ballroom? No. Zoe Lucker and James She's a really pleasant person Zoe Lucker, so we hope she wins. But she won't. She won't care enough. Ricky Groves and Erin We're not entirely sure Ricky knows that EastEnders is acting. The producers probably lure him into a van on the promise of a Wham! bar and whisk him off set at the end of the day, so he can't talk to anyone and realise he isn't actually best mates with Minty. Still, he's happy with that chewy Wham! bar. Mid-way point. Ricky Whittle and Natalie Ricky's official website: "Hi there, my name is ricky and welcome to my official website for fans." Bless. Out early. Ricky was in Dream Team, in case you were wondering. Sportsmen Richard Dunwoody and Lilia Contestant most likely to sexually assault his partner. Out early. Joe Calzaghe and Kristina Poor Kristina. Dancing with a shovel-faced Welsher used to intense training and beating people up. He could flashback at any moment and catch her on the point of the chin with a whip-fast right cross. There till the final. Martina Hingis and Matthew The Swiss version clearly didn't pay enough money for the five-headed tennis star. She'll do extremely well. Phil Tufnell and Katya 'Happy days!' Phil pretends to be more of a spamfiltering idiot than he actually is. Which is quite a large idiot. Still, because cricketers are genetically formed to do well in reality shows, he'll be there towards the end. Jade Johnson and Ian "She was a rubbish long-jumper, who was allergic to sand. He was freakishly tall with a smile that made him look like he had a warm Mars Bar nestling in the back of his pants. Together they went out mid-way through" Actors Lynda Bellingham and Darren The producers are hoping for a female John Sargeant. Voting her off would be like kicking a cancer-ridden puppy to death. After all, she sold us gravy for years. Dunno Jo Wood and Brendan Feisty (annoying) Jo has already been seen fighting with Brendan, who presumably is 'working her too hard'. He's probably not working her as hard as former husband Ronnie is that 19-year-old cocktail waitress. She'll do well. Craig Kelly and Flavia No idea who he is and not googling him on principle. He looks like a git. AMAZON:This really is amazing value: The Life Collection : David Attenborough (24 Disc BBC Box Set) [DVD] for £69?  LOOK LOOK! Weekend watch is on the website front page here. Do clicky if you want. |
