Only ten hours to go - way hay! It's like going to meet a loved one at an airport, when they have been away for a while. You get there ridiculously early, and then have to embark on a series of time-wasting tasks to fill the hours. Still far too early, you station yourself at the barrier in the arrivals hall, just in case the flight somehow arrives earlier than scheduled. Hopping up and down, desperate for the first glimpse....
The BBC have released a sneaky preview clip to whet our appetite, but on careful viewing does it conceal more than it reveals? The training clips shown could be from any point in the training, from first session to earlier this week. So Ricky Groves looking decidedly shaky is juxtaposed against Jade Johnson looking polished and ready to Rumba. Jo Woods is seen falling over (and that was just walking!), and Tuffers is seen larking around. Zoe Lucker talks about nerves, and Laila Rouass talks about winning. Zoe and James are looking promising, Laila and Anton less so. Tantalising hints, or red herrings?
Joe Calzaghe has been the bookies favourite, and he and Kristina have featured in many of the red tops. He is in the preview tape, talking about never having lost a fight. But of his dancing - we see not one step. Kristina isn't even in the clip - perhaps she had popped to the loo, or perhaps the fabled chemistry, like her partner's dance prowess, is only to be revealed tonight! What a great teaser - but if the show is to survive head-to-head against the X Factor, the producers are going to have to pull stuff like this out of the bag in every episode to keep us hooked.
