I think Natalie's a bit tall for Ricky W.
I wonder which other male contestant they could have paired her with - are any of the other male celebs taller than Ricky?

In my opinion Joe and his professional dance partner are so mismatched that they look ridiculous. No wonder he has to stoop. She is tiny. It is as if someone decided that he would be out in round one therefore give him someone much shorter who makes him look even more hunchbacked.
I love Joe, he tries so hard and the couple are just as hard working as the rest. In a way I am glad that they have survived this long but the height difference is what makes them look bad.
I get the feeling Christina was rewarded with what everyone thought would be a good partner after getting an older celeb laster year. It backfired.

I think the producers were also hoping for the romance angle, as she is one of the few single professionals, and she duly obliged.


I think Vincent and Natalie. They are a good combo of personalities (he has reigned in the Lothario this year) but I think she would have looked better with a taller more macho partner say Brendan. Pairing her with a smaller partner only makes her look bigger.
Yes! He treats Natalie very kindly but it's obvious he doesn't fancy her in the way he did Rachel or Louisa.

oooh good thread! You just never can tell - who would've thought that Brendan would be a good partner for Jo Wood But I think they make a lovely pair Rav and Aliona were quite a mis-match, if only Camilla had been taking part, I think he would've stood a much better chance, IMO.
Brendan and Jo do make a lovely pair, and Camilla would have done well with Rav, as she did with James Martin who was also around the same size (but more fatty than musclely to start off with).

Whoever got Anton would always have a little difficulty in the Latin. Not only is it not his speciality, he just doesn't look right dancing it. His body shape seems a bit strange for it. Is his torso a bit too long to look sexy in a latin outfit perhaps? Something like that I think. And if your professional partner doesn't look fit in your latin dance, I think it does have a detrimental effect on the celeb's results.

Joe is the same height as Brian who Kristina partners professionally but he has a much larger build which makes it more the height difference noticeable, physically Joe would have been better paired with Natalie.

and how much more would we have enjoyed that

I would have loved to see how someone who is as driven to win as natalie would have dealt with Joe - somehow I don't think they would have been doing the horizontal tango

As far as professional pairings are concerned, I think putting Brian and Christina together was a huge mistake. I'd like to see her with someone with a bit more class, like Matthew Cutler.

Did you not see their Mambo last year?

Personality-wise, I think Natalie and Vincent are great together but I wish they would dress and make her up more in keeping with her age - they make her look far too old.

The only mismatched couples for me have left now anyway

They Just had to put Vincenth & Natlaie together. Two Listhpers. God, is she getting just too much face time. It seems they are featured on ITT every other day. What's the story. She's not good looking, lower end of the dancing pack, and physically unattractive. All that being said, give her a thumbs up for trying. But just tooooo much of her!! Can't wait till she is gone.
unbelievable!!

Natalie and Ricky W . They are not doing each other any favours , they are both full of themselves and both needed someone to reign that in
But they feed offf each other and are now becoming a real pain with their egos and " look at me " attitude .

Much as it hurts to say it Craig and Flavia - too quiet together and needs a more exhuberant person to bring them out of themselves. Agree about Natalie and Ricky W and Tuffers and Katya. I think Nat Cass and Vincent are a great match muchos flirtiness and they seem to get really well. Cola are really cute too.

I quite liked Rav and Aliona. Thought they were quite sweet. I'm definately in the minority there, I think. :P

The ones that sprung to mind when I saw the topic title were Phil & Katya. I just don't think they work well with their personalities. Katya seems to take it so seriously and I just can't warm to her, whereas Phil seems like such a fun, lovable guy. I don't think she quite likes his sense of humour as some of us do.

Bearing that in mind, I could see Katya working well with Craig. (No idea what height anyone is and whether that would dampen it, just going off personalities here).

I think Phil's personality would've worked well with Flavia, who seems a lot more laid back than Katya.

Just my opinion, of course.

I agree that Brian and Kristina are fab together as they both seem to have the same energy - that mambo was something else!

I think Natalie and Vincent are a poor match height wise, but as she is the shortest female celeb, I guess it was logical - they get on like a house on fire!

Joe should have been paired with a taller pro as that may have helped improve his natural stooped posture.

I'm not one to start rumours but .......Matt Di Angelo is in the audience every week now, got himself mentioned by Alesha and even wangled a video comment (seen on ITT). He may be what's restraining Flavia somewhat? The old story - he knows how he got together with Flavia so he's making sure it doesn't happen again?
All taking place in Bonnie's World of course.
What makes you think Craig would look twice at Flavia.Have you seen his wife.Far better looking than Flavia?

All in the eye of the beholder, not everyone reacts to looks.....it's an intimate setting for all the couples and 'showmances' don't always happen between allocated couples.

Anyway it was a tongue in cheek comment in answer to Flavia's apparent change of personality this year and not the Gospel according to Strictly.

I'd be miffed if my partner kept turning up at my work - Bonnie's World as I said

It has to be Laila and Anton for me. Even the judges are commenting on it...in a more diplomatic way. Len's comments last week to the effect that Laila was far more skilled than Anton's choreography was showing her to be.

Laila and Anton are very mismatched in their temperament I feel. She would have flourished with Brendan, and they would have looked great together too.

LF Hello stranger - come and say hello sometime

I'd have liked to have seen Laila with Matthew seeing as her recent interview is saying she goes a bit gooey and pervs over him lol

I don't think Natalie and Vincent look right together, hes too short. I'd have liked to have seen her with Brendan (although i wouldn't have liked to see him with anyone other than JO if that makes sense) and see if she loved it as much

Hello Bobbla! It's really great to see you again.

I agree that Laila and Matthew would also have been good together. I do think Anton is out for himself more and his eye is on his tv career. One of the other men might have nurtured and handled her better. She does seem to have a lot of potential that's not fully coming out still. However, I'm looking forward to their VWaltz tomorrow which I hope goes well for them.

I completely agree about Anton (what a surprise ). I've always liked him but i think that was because he handled the duffers so well. Now hes got a good one i'm rapidly changing my opinion of him (and his dancing/choreography skills)

Their VW did look pretty darn good on ITT though.

I have to agree with Laila and Anton. I feel Laila would have gotten on better had she danced with Matthew Cutler this year. I remember someone saying last year that they wanted Anton to dance with someone good, so that he'd be in with a chance of winning. I've never thought that to be the case. Anton is very good at ballroom, but his Latin has always been rubbish. I feel bad for Laila for that reason. She's good, but not able to show off her potential as her partner's flaws outshine what she can do!
