5 Thoughts - the Launch Show

Twitter I like - it has the right mix of love for/mocking of Strictly. With the SCD Digital Spy forums, however, I've a more nuanced relationship - I tend to keep them at a suspicious arm's length (essentially due to some posters' inability to detect irony/use any punctuation/hold back from spouting extreme sexism on the subject of extra-marital affairs. Yes, they exist on Twitter, but don't need to be followed. Twitter is a Strictly Ivory Tower, if you will...). 

But, come the Autumn, I nose around the forums nonetheless, like a judgemental bad smell, and there is currently a thread on there called '5 Thoughts - the Launch Show'. Now it might seem a stretch, but the thread involves posting your first five thoughts ("5 Thoughts") about the launch show ("the Launch Show"). 

Anyway, for reasons I've yet to establish, I can't post on the forum just now (probably banned due to extreme snobbery), so here are the five thoughts I lovingly wrote down but couldn't force on to the requisite part of the internet.

1. Jamelia and Claudia's interviews will be the stuff of legends. J bluntly telling Claude there were pros she didn't want (*cough*Anton*cough*) was my absolute highlight. 

2. That blue looked so good on La Daly that I couldn't actually Process/AssessTessDressMess.

3. In many ways, I'm not sure I see the point of the launch show if it doesn't provide us with Aliona's reaction of sulky fury when she gets the duffer. (Jay's hair tho...)

4. Daniel O'Donnell is even more like the Father Ted pastiche of him than the Father Ted pastiche of him is. Meta. I look forward to seeing whether this goes Sargeant or Calzaghe. Or Cohen!

5. I really really should know better, especially given the number of retweets that involve the incorrect spelling of 'you're', but am glued to James Jordan's Twitter like a motorway car crash.
