Launch Show 2019

I may need to go rewatch it on iPlayer cos parents and Domino’s nachos and alcohol got in the way of me giving my full attention but launch show 2019 thoughts!! (dw this will be long so I’ll put a keep reading if you’re not interested lol).

Ngl loved the Kylie opening XD. I have an odd love for All The Lovers so I was very happy to see that come on XD. Nancy absolutely SLAYED in that whole opening dance spectacle as well, I really hope we get to see her more prominent in group dances.

Catherine and Johannes seems like a nice pair, maybe I’m having difficulty picturing it cos Johannes has never had a partner before but I wanna see what they’ll be like. His reaction was also adorable I fkn love Johannes XD.

Saffron and AJ even if I hadn’t spoiled it for myself SAW THAT COMING, maybe my least favourite pair for this year? Mollie remains my favourite partner AJ’s had (QUEEN) but idk Saffron didn’t seem that excited, I mean Anton put in more effort when he got put with Susannah Constantine XD. Thinking I’m not going to like them but we’ll see.

( @missemperor ) Michelle and Giovanni fit SO well together. I love Michelle’s energy and it matches Giovanni’s so well, I think they’ll be a great pair!

Alex and Neil, again can’t see them together since Neil’s never had a partner but I can already tell that they’re going to go SO far in the competition. Favourite to win paired with the pro everyone’s been wanting to get a partner? Not really feeling Alex’s vibe well (she wouldn’t stop talking during the suspense but I was like ffs shut up) so if this is gonna be another Stacey and Kevin incident hhhhhhhh.

Motsi is a QUEEEEEEEEN I love her dancing style and her energy as a judge is going to be soooooo great XD. I’ve had good words from people that she was amazing on Let’s Dance so I’m hoping I’ll love her!

James and Luba hhhh again can’t see it cos Luba hasn’t had a partner (both her and Neil excluding Christmas specials but like that barely counted eek) but I think they fit nicely together!

Karim and Amy it’s so odd seeing them together cos Amy’s only been partnered with older men so far XD. Also Amy seems slightly taller than him oops XD. But I’m excited to see them!! It seems like they’ll do really well and they seem so happy to be partnered XD.

Chris and Karen CHRIS RAMSEY THE KING WITH KAREN HAUER THE QUEEN MY FAVOURITES ALREADY was low key hoping for Oti even though I knew it wasn’t going to happen (this was before I spoiled it oops) but omg they look so amazing together they were like best friends that got put together for PE class XD. I am SOOOOO excited to see them!!

David and Nadiya not getting a strong energy from them but the heights work? XD. Idk with Nadiya it concerns me that her height is the only factor for who she gets partnered with but I’ll wait and see what they can do in the live shows XD.

Never usually care for the musical performances but omg seeing Gorka and Graziano made me so saaaaaaad T_T I do LOVE Neil and Johannes but omg I’m gonna miss those 2 so much especially Graziano he’s adorable T_T.

Emma and Anton I know Chris and Karen are my favourites but I’m rooting for these 2 SO MUCH Anton FINALLY has a decent partner!! And not just decent, seems like she’ll be actually GOOD. That’s a first! Anton’s reaction was iconic, amazing, hilarious, we stan a king, that’s it.

*Viscountess* Emma and Aljaz again I’m concerned Aljaz is only paired with people cos of his height but they seem to work well together XD. Not feeling V.Emma’s energy as well but I’m sure I’ll get to know her better as the weeks go on XD.

Anneka and Kevin oops Anneka’s taller than Kevin XD. But their reaction was so cute!! They also seemed like best friends getting left as the last 2 in PE class so the teacher has no choice but to put them together XD. I’m excited to see them!!

Speaking of Kevin the Paso Dooley returns... Stacey seemed to have the right Paso energy for once XD. Idk I think the choreography is a bit cheesy and gimmicky (idk maybe that’s how REAL Paso Dobles are but I ain’t ever seen a sassy hand) but they did it well XD.

Mike and Katya are they gonna be the funny pair for this year?? XD. Mike is adorable tho if he falls over during the live shows rip XD. But he seemed to have more grace on the heel click than Katya did oops XD. I do find it odd though that they partnered Katya with a short older larger little man while Neil gets a partner for the first time with a younger attractive footballer... coincidence?

Will and Janette are SO ADORABLE Janette always has a good energy with her partners (even though I think she’s annoying oops don’t come for me) and Will is the most precious person omg I love him XD. I can’t wait to see them!!

Dev and Dianne she’s gone from Rev to Dev XD. Sorry @myutoni I had to make a pun XD. Not feeling the energy atm (maybe cos I’m so used to seeing her with Joe after last year ended??) but Dev’s reaction was so cute XD.

Jamie and Oti seeing them get paired was so sad knowing he won’t be in the series T_T. He seemed so happy!! And so did Oti T_T. She seemed so supportive and caring in that end bit showing how he got injured, this is why we stan Oti Mabuse T_T. I’ll mention her and Kelvin though, personally I’m not happy they’re replacing him seems rude but like hopefully he’ll do well?? I can’t say how he and Oti would look together cos you know all we’ve got is a picture XD.

As I said need to rewatch it but LOVED that group dance!! I’ll go back over and take in all the details lol but it was great!

Aaaand that’s it! Well done if you made it through all that XD.
