Agree with you there but it seems it happens every year on DS - a real shame.

I voted Ricky and Natalie and Ali and Brian they are the best dancers and I just love watching them every week.
I like Chris & Ola very much but Ricky and Ali just top it.

Ricky & Natalie without a doubt, fantastic dancer and DOESN'T deserve the ridiculously scathing comments he gets on here.
Ali & Brian are my next favourites, the rest are also rans.

Didnt want to end up liking them, and am very surprised its happened.., but in answering the thread title, my favourite couple at the moment are chris and ola!

It has to be Chris & Ola - I've been supporting them all along and think they could go far! Such a cute couple

Ali and Brian this week. That VW sent shivers down my spine. Sublime.

Ali & Brian

Ali and Brian!

Jade and Ian

I oscillate though

Ali and Brian from day one.

Voted for Phil & Katya. But Jade/Ian & Team Cola are also faves.

Jade and Ian, she has gone through an amazing change on this journey...

I'm still torn between Ali and Brian and Jade and Ian. Still can't decide.

Voted for Cola but Ali equal with me...there's my top two couples this year!

Well, three fairly clear front runners there. I voted Ali and Brian but like all of the DS top 3

Jade and Ian, Ali and Brian, then team Cola

I do like Ricky W too

Best 'journey'undoubtedly Jade and Ian. She has proved herself to be a real all-rounder and Ian, as always, a masterful teacher and lovely man who knows just how to motivate his pupil and cope with her temperament. Are people who go for Ali forgetting how abysmal most of her Latin dances have been? And are they overlooking Ricky's many mistakes? Jade has scarcely put a foot wrong technically and she acts the dances brilliantly. Definitely my vote for the glitterball.

Chris and Ola by a country mile! If pushed for 2nd favourites....Ricky and Natalie
