Does the pro dancer affect which celeb you support?

It used to for me, but over the past few series I stopped thinking in that way. This year I get really frustrated by Alex being overmarked, and love Harry whilst being constantly annoyed by Aliona. I've always liked Brendan but I would never vote for BLulu.
I used to get really protective of the celeb with my favourite pros, despite level of skill. Now I just want to see good dancing.

For example, I'm not keen on Brendan but Kelly was probably my favourite celeb ever.
Kelly was fab, it was such a shame when she withdrew.
For example, I'm not keen on either Aliona or Artem's style, which is bugging me slightly 'cause I quite like both Harry and Holly, but never *really* enjoy their dances.
Haha, I agree with you but that's mostly because they're generally a bit crap. In fact less of the "a bit", more like utterly. I like Anton but not his latin.
I think the pro is important - it's the partnership that does it for me
So maybe....I AM a bit influenced!
Although it certainly helps. I had a right dilema last year when Matt Baker was with Aliona. I don't like her choreography/teaching style but I loved Matt. First time it had ever happened really.

With whom was she dancing tonight?
On the negative side, I really don't like James so I'd be unlikely to vote for him.
Unless I have a clear fave (Chelseeeeeeeeeeee and Lovely Pasha this year), that's what I do. But I wouldn't not vote for a celeb I loved if I hated their pro. That said, I haven't been in that situation yet. I love many of the pros - won't make me vote for Russell, BLulu or the Donovator tho!
This year I find myself not really caring about any of the couples as I don't think the dancing standard is what it used to be....
I always choose who I'm going to support from the first show, depending on who I think has got "potential" and who might win.
chemistry definitely important too.
I support and vote for whoever moves me the most. I would never support/not support a celeb just because i liked or disliked their pro.
Saying that i tend to find that the dances which move me are not based on dance ability alone (although it plays a huge part). Its a combination of dance ability, how good the routine is, song choice, personality, celeb/pro partnership and probably loads of other unquantifiable things.
So i might find that Jason for example has great dance ability, fabulous choreography with good song choices, a great partnership with Kristina but a personality that i just can't relate to so even though i adore Kristina and i'm thrilled thats shes finally got a worthy partner i can't imagine ever voting for them.
With Harry, he has all of the above apart from great routines that move me so technically i suppose his pro partner does have a massive influence over my not supporting/voting for him.
At the moment my vote is going to Chelsee and Pasha, who so far have managed to tick all the boxes.
there are certainly no professionals who make me dislike any celebs, though
Absolutely agree, always had a soft spot for Brendan but just cannot support Lulu, he just doesn't look as comfortable as previous years.
