Strictly -- Should be fair to all contestants
Despite the BBC shamelessly promoting Munchetty on news programmes for many days now, she put on a very poor performance last night.
No other contestant received anything like that level of publicity that the BBC employee Munchetty had heaped upon her prior to the competition commencing.

Oh no!! Not that time of year again!
Well, I'll be watching I suppose - Mrs M wouldn't have it any other way - if only to see how quickly dear old Len comes out with that "I really think we've got the best line up ever" speech again.
I know millions watch it avidly and enjoy it but, like The Apprentice and Masterchef, it is getting a bit tired and formulaic isn't it? (Just my opinion, mind you!

Strange how everybody on Strictly insists to all and sundry that their weekend dance competition is recorded over two separate nights.
They must think that the public are really gulible.
Some would say that the competition all takes place on the first day and the BBC broadcasts it over two nights.
Me --- I wouldnt care to guess.

The same as the Mr Norton & Mr Ross shows really plus others I'm sure - does it matter, not really. I suspect most people who watch it do so because they like dance and find the show entertaining - I know we do.
What's live & what's pre-recorded is pretty irrelevant.No doubt Len said it at some point but I must have missed it - don't remember so many good dances on the first show before - very entertaining and should bode well for the weeks ahead.My top 3 guess before it started were:Will YoungLaura WhitmoreDaisy LoweNot so sure now though.Wonder who will be second to go, after Ed Balls

Who's Munchetty?
Naga Munchetty
See BBC profile here Personally I think it unfair, and certainly ungallant to just refer to her by surname rather than her fall name. I am also not convinced she has been subject to an unfair amount of publicity as I have seen many other contestants being interviewed on various programmes which the OP may have missed.

..I have to disagree,----------- Many celebrities on TV, in showbusiness, and in public life are referred to by their Surnames -- Sinatra, Wogan, Parkinson for example and many many more.
It is definitely NOT ungallant to do so.

Possibly the Eastenders girl.

interesting subject...the three named are all men, so no need to be gallant to them really is there? I think, in general, women who are known by one name are generally known by their first names rather than surnames..Adele, Kylie etc...so I do think it sounds
a biit off to use just a surname in this case personally, what do others think ?As to the first programme, in my opinion an incredibly high standard BUT it remains to be seen how many can maintain it when faced with a different style of dance. Surprises for me...Judge Rinder - wow ! Danny from Hollyoaks - Phew! can't wait to see what
they both make of a ballroom dance though, and Louise Rednapp - beautifully in sync with her partner all the way through.Alison

I think the biggest surprise in the first week was that Robert Rinder could dance so well. (( Note for DK,--- I used his first name as I dont want to be accused of being "Ungallant" ))

Well done K, much friendlier.

Write your comments here...Not friendlier

Yes there are a fair number of non.entities as contestants this year. Im not surprised people have never heard of them.
On the plus side which must be a good thing, the BBC through Strictly , have gone that extra mile to be all inclusive and to totally embrace the concept of Diversity.

I only discovered his programme recently, actually when I saw he was listed as a contestant I had heard of him but never seen his programme, so I had a look at a couple...he is actually very good, sensible rulings, won't take any nonsense from time wasters and rules accordingly, he is also quite entertaining

(It's the sports related ones I don't recognise other than Greg Rutherford - I have heard of him)

Write your comments here...He plays the part of a judge in a spoof Courtroom reality programme. The drama is mostly centered around himself. --- I watched about 15 minutes of it one time then switched over. The acting was poor and the storyline was unbelievable.-- Not for me I'm afraid.
Some people like that sort of thing --- so live and let live I say.
He's a not too bad dancer though, for the first weekend
I suspect he has had dancing lessons earlier in his life

Enjoyed Strictly last night. Those extremely nubile and trim professional lady dancers are move perfect and demonstrate to all that dancing can be fun.
No clear leaders among the contestants have emerged yet. but on last night's showing it looks like the females have a definite lead on the males with two females in particular being very good.
I know that Len Goodman is leaving the judging panel and that is no bad thing, but that other judge Bruno Tonioli's behaviour and language is becoming so Bizarre that he might also be considered for early replacement.----------------He has been described as "" A few spanners short of a toolkit "" Whatever that means.
Strictly --------Overall a good entertaining programme. I like it !!!!

Robert Rinder is actually a criminal barrister and adjudicates over small claims court type proceedings that people have volunteered to have heard on tv, he can be quite amusing as he doesn't suffer fools gladly......
Judge Rinder is a British reality court show that has aired daily on ITV since 11 August 2014. It stars criminal barrister Robert Rinder as the judge, who oversees a variety of cases, such as disputes over basic consumer issues, business/personal/neighbourhood disputes, and allegations of negligence. The hearings are conducted in a mock-up of a small claims courtroom. The show shares the same format as other television court shows, such as Judge Judy and Judge Mathis.[2] When filmed each case takes around an hour or so to film and is subsequently edited down to fit multiple cases into the given time slot.
The courtroom used on the show is slightly Americanised, as real British courts do not feature flags or gavels. The robes worn by Judge Rinder are regular barristers' robes, minus wig, and resemble judicial robes worn by Deputy High Court judges. Part-time judges in the Crown Court (called Recorders) also wear the same robes with wig. In reality, most small claim trials in England and Wales are conducted in District Judges' Chambers, with the parties seated throughout and no robes being worn at all. Judge Rinder does not allow misconduct or disrespect. He allows the litigants three chances. If they interrupt or act out three times in the courtroom, they will be escorted out. The bailiff of the show is Michelle Hassan, who escorts the litigants in and out of the courtroom. Like other court shows, Judge Rinder acts as an arbitrator in a form of binding arbitration.
