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.

 

Surprised

I imagine the publicity increases the level of pressure on her to perform well, and may be a disadvantage.

I think all the previose BBC presenters or weather staff have been "promoted" by their colleagues

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! Wink)

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.

All done and dusted on the Saturday night. The audience is changed half way through the show to make you think it is a different night, pre recorded for Sunday. Laughing

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 Young
Laura Whitmore
Daisy Lowe
 
Not 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.
