#SCD My interest in Strictly this year is at rock bottom

A trailer for the launch show this evening said that,

The show has a stellar line-up of celebrities

and the BBC website suggests that we get to know the *glittering line-up*

Well the line-up is neither stellar nor even glittering and I would argue about the correctness of the word *celebrities* at least in the plural form.

I have never heard of four out of the fifteen. A further four I know but wish I did not. Two I actively dislike. There are three whose claim to celebrity status is dubious to say the least.
There is only one I like - Sunetra Sarker, but only because of her former role in 'Angels'.
And I suppose Pixie Lott is the preordained winner - yawn, yawn.

I'm so bored by the prospect that I cannot even be arsed to write about them individually as I would have done in previous years and I certainly will not bother betting on the outcome, mainly because the effort of doing the social site research on these people exceeds my boredom threshold.

I suppose I will watch the shows, though for how long is another matter. It's just far too girly now. I really don't like the Winkleman and in combination with Tess Daly, well it's just too much ditzy oestrogen and stupidly high heels for a chap to bear comfortably.

I admit that I have done my share of digs at Brucie's tired old gags and his strictly unentertaining attempts at dancing but I don't care for what we've ended up with instead.
It just points out the truth of that old saying:

Always hold tight to nurse - for fear of finding something worse.
