I never watched strictly.
The girls on the couch now, the dresses are horrible. Poor show by RTÉ

It's from the UK one 2015. A good few of the pros dresses look familiar.

Yup Karens dress is the strictly dress - stunning. You can see it on youtube if you look up Georgia May Foote American Smooth

The pros all look quite good

PeterTheNinth · 08-01-2017 09:06PM

Why don't you come back as a TV Presenter, Amanda?

HeidiHeidi · 08-01-2017 09:07PM

Christ, Dr. Eva is an awful pain to listen to :mad:

Those dresses are appalling! I hope there's some context for them in whatever showdance they're doing (like they're kids from the 70's - they're exactly like home-made sundresses I used to have as a kid:o)....

RobertKK · 08-01-2017 09:09PM

Box office, not sure if for the right or wrong reasons.

The guy in the gold jacket sounds like George Hook to me:eek:

Bahahahaha, that gave me a good laugh :-P

And now a little pause in proceedings to tell ourselves how wonderful we all are.

leahyl · 08-01-2017 09:11PM

I can't believe the girls aren't dancing tonight! What have they been doing for the last 2 hours?!

bottlebrush · 08-01-2017 09:11PM

This programme is a half hour too long

alan partridge aha · 08-01-2017 09:13PM

How come there stringing this rubbish out, I want to see Fair City

They really should stick a soap or something half-hour long in the middle, and then come back with the results bit.

I predict that they'll lose audiences bigtime if they keep this format up.

You just need to "cop on and wipe away those tears". :razz;

Autosport · 08-01-2017 09:13PM

I enjoyed the pro's dance but it's a bit too long tonight

Yes I agree!

I see AJ (from UK strictly)'s brother is one of the pros. They look very similar!

HeidiHeidi · 08-01-2017 09:15PM

Another 10 mins of filler rubbish :eek:

PeterTheNinth · 08-01-2017 09:15PM

For a first night, the production is pretty excellent. They must have just got the people that ran the English one to take charge did they?

Aside from Byram.. .I mean I thought Nicky would have been wooden, but he has been brilliant.. even the banter is good. But Byram is just sooooooo fake. A "cuppa" indeed.

Yeah he's younger....their father was a pro dancer too...the fella from NI looks to be very good....

Is this a "whoooosh" moment for me, or have you been watching the same show that I was???

TOEJOE · 08-01-2017 09:16PM

The lovely boys dancing competition.

The Talking Bread · 08-01-2017 09:16PM

Did one of themy just say f**k off !!

bottlebrush · 08-01-2017 09:17PM

that guy looks like mark Wahlberg

loulou87 · 08-01-2017 09:18PM

Really frustrating that Amanda got that job.
She doesn't live in ireland so RTE will pay for her weekly flights, taxis and 5*hotel stays and she's rubbish. She's the least personable female presenter they could have picked

I didn't want to like Nicky Byrne but he's been great in my opinion.

HeidiHeidi · 08-01-2017 09:19PM

Whose Mammy was that frozen staring at the camera beside Amanda?

Agree with all of this 100%

JosDel · 08-01-2017 09:20PM

Ah that's Bridget out of redrock

Autosport · 08-01-2017 09:22PM

Did anyone see how much they're getting paid.

08-01-2017 09:22PM

Look....it'll never be strictly....and in fairness it has a tough act to follow given strictly is running for so long, is very well established and is so close so a lot of the DWTS audience are going to be strictly fans. So possible an unfair comparison

It's not as bad I thought it would be....they have good pros and after all, dancing is supposed to be the base of the show.

Hopefully they take on board some feedback and make the tweaks needed and it mightn't be half bad, but it'll never be strictly.
