Anita Wigl’it I love Anita and she was one of the few bright spots from the first Down Under season. Her elimination was far too soon so I was really glad to see her get to come back for Canada vs. The World. Unfortunately, she struggled She spent each week in the bottom before going home third. She set the bar really high for herself with her first Snatch Game that she struggled to live up to it the second time and kinda bombed. I think Anita’s an absolute delight but based on her run in this season, she is a fair cut from these noms. Save Lady Camden

Save Lady Camden Cut Anita

Love Maddy, although admittedly mostly from post-show and Give It To Me Straight is iconic

1 - When I Think of You: Nico 2 - State of the World: Wallace, Lily 0 - You Want This: 0 - Because of Love: 1 - All Nite (Don’t Stop): Crisis 1 - So Excited (feat. Khia): Crisis 0 - Burnitup! (feat. Missy Elliott): We still need to cut 6 of these. Everyone has 24 hours to vote to cut 2 different songs. 2 votes against one song cuts it immediately. We'll do another randomizer/runoff if we don't get 6 cuts in 24 hours.

Seeing that Annabel has been kinda problematic in the past too so oof. Mixed feelings on this cast just as there were a couple names in the frame who I was excited for but I’m now thinking they might not make it on the cast I heard Brenda Edwards’ name mentioned and I was particularly looking forward to her. Also Daniel Sturridge who I thought would have been a great choice for a younger sports star. However, still excited for this cast! Pre-season faves currently are Layton, Zara, Nikita, Ellie, Bobby and Angela S.

Excited for Bobby! (also makes me feel old that Jade Goody's son is old enough to be on this show omg.) Ellie seems lovely. Don't know Jody but look forward to getting to know him.

Oh slay

I woulda tuned out (again lmao) if they didn’t address it so I’m glad they’ve taken the appropriate action.

Sorry really busy day, messaging Akshar now!

Someone dropped the n-word? Eject him and save Kirsten

Chazz Bryant I was going to cut Chad because never trust a Chad. Zoey beat me to it and then I realised you should never trust a 'Chazz'. Chazz went on Love Island with his sister?! You should never mix dating shows and family omg. Also his sister is gorgeous and lasted only 5 days?! Chazz lasted a little longer but not by much. 16 days in the villa and he left with a girl named Bella who I think he paired up with in Casa Amor, but it seems like nothing really came to fruition. Hate to contribute to the continued Love Island cull but easy decision. Save Lindsay Carmine

Love Strictly's approach to casting. People love to complain about some of the obscure picks but then you get people like Hamza etc. who turn out to be revelations and big crowd favorites. I didn't know Nikita but instantly really loving what I see of her and can see her being one of my favorites. Similar to Eddie. Love that they're pulling from different areas and the diversity - love seeing the hosts of BBC's Asian Network and Afrobeats shows getting this platform! Lol I honestly did not expect Adam. I know he got rumoured but I feel like he gets rumoured year after year so I'm kinda shocked to see it happen. I suspect he'll be popular.

Give the casting person who found Felicia Cannon a raise instantly

It’s an iconic month for our DWTS finalists! Between Gabby and Wayne’s announcements, and our fourth place finalist Jaida Essence Hall becoming the new host of We’re Here (living in my revisionist fantasy)

It’s been 24 hours so, I’m gonna go ahead before the deadline! (I think it’s passed but I’m tired and can’t do timezones) Top 25: Throb Voting round: Miss You Much, The Pleasure Principle Cut: Dream Street

I had that same thought and it’s continued today! The male side is looking nice and diverse so far so I’m hoping we’ll see that with the female lineup too.

This is going well!

I’m jumping the gun until we see the rest of the cast, but.. very good vibes about Angela S. I see her doing very well and being a favorite. Excited for Zara! Truthfully I wasn’t really a fan during Love Island lol, and I’ve seen none of her documentaries, but credit to her for making a name for herself outside of reality TV. She’s a strong first Love Island pick.

Fiercalicious on The Traitors is an absolutely perfect casting decision bravo

Sorry I totally forgot to send mine but will do today if not too late!

Interesting cast so far! I'm most excited for Layton, I just know he's going to kill it (and be our likely dance-off assassin until the final because he's a major ringer). I think Angela will be a pleasant surprise, and Krishnan is a fun choice I wouldn't have predicted. Never heard of Eddie, I guess he ticks the box of the lesser-known celeb in the cast / radio personality similar to Tyler last year, but I'm excited to find out more about him. I was looking forward to Amanda, but since finding out more about her I can't say I'm interested. Excited to see how the rest of the cast pans out. There's nobody in the rumored names who's making me super excited just yet, but a few that if they do appear I'd be intrigued about.
