Ali and Brian were the best, but Chris and Ola were my favourites (mainly due to the surprise factor and their chemistry).

Chris and Ola and Ricky and Erin

Ali and Brian, although I did enjoy Chris and Ola.

I thought Ali and Brian danced the best, but Chris and Ola had the x-factor for me this week.

Ali and Brian though Chris and Ola were just the same for me but this week decided to vote for Ali and Brian .

I liked Ali and Brian best for dancing and chemistry. I couldn't understand why Chris went down so well. I preferred Ricky. His cha cha cha was the funniest thing I've seen since Chris Parker's pasodoble.

I think I have to declare as an Ian fan - I've thought he was lovely (personality-wise, though he's not exactly hard to look at either *ahem*) since his partnership with Denise Lewis (was he even in series 1?). He always gets the tall girls, for obvious reasons (can you image Jade with Darren? ) and he does such an amazing job of training them to actually move like dancers despite the limitations. Plus he always comes across so well.

So I vote Jade and Ian - but there's an emotive bias.

On dancing alone I rate Chris and Ali so far, of course.

Chris and Ola!

Just a bump to keep the poll in view.

Deffo Chris and Ola, here's hoping they go far xx

Cola!

The best partnership and chemistry so far, I'm looking forward to the VT's over the coming weeks without question. Ola has finally got someone the right height for her and produced two absolutely cracking routines that showed them as a TEAM. Not just a case of the pro desperately dancing round the sleb to cover up limitations. Like some others.

Oh, and I'm genuinely astounded by how good Chris was!

Chris & Ola!

I'm looking forward to seeing Craig, Richard () & Tuffers next week.

Ali & Brian. Loved her sweet, deer in the headlights look.

1.) Ali and Brian

2.) Chris and Ola

3.) Jade and Ian

All three couples were wonderful.

Ola and Chris, already have a marvellous chemistry and hopefully should go far this series.

Chris and Ola. A wonderful couple with two brilliant dances.

Chris & Ola!!!!

Jade and Ian, I like this partnership very much
Enjoyed Chris & Ola too.

I wonder who the Week 2 favourites will be and how much change there'll be from the ones we were looking forward to seeing. Chris and Ola for example must have been near the bottom of expectations before last week. Now look at them - leading the pack (at least for time being).

Alli and Brian were incredable - she is amazing.

Also loved Chris and Ola. So glad she has a good partner of the right height - they are so so good together.

Ali and Brian were easily tops for us- we thought another Rachel in the making there. And Chris and Ola as well - really tried hard !

Thought I'd bring the four previous weeks' polls together before this week's programme, just to let people see how the popularity of some couples has changed.
