Zoe and Ian
Rachel and Vincent
Jill and Darren.

Alesha and Matthew
Rachel and Vincent - I can't really separate these two couples

Mark and Karen

Yes, I'm going to have to be boring and agree. The same three..in reverse order.
However, for dancing AND personality, Jill was/is in a league of her own..in my opinion.

1. Mark & Karen
2. Jill & Darren
3. Chris & Ola

The last spot is difficult. It's between those two and Colin & Erin, who would win on the dancing alone. But for the partnership, team Cola is one of the more engaging ones so they've just snuck into third place for the time being.

1. Matt and Flavia
2. Rachel and Vincent
3. Alesha and Matthew

Kelly & Brendan

Mark & Karen

Rachel & Vincent

I don't really have a top 3 more of a top 5 and apart from the top one they go up and down depending on my mood and who I fancy watching at any time.

so

1. Jill Halfpenny

2.Lisa Snowden (and the more people have a go at her the higher she climbs strangely enough )
3. Alesha Dixon
4. Letitia Dean
5. Zoe Ball

predictable but they really were the best for me:-

Jill & Darren
Mark & Karen
Alesha & Matt

with mentions to Zoe & Ian/Gethin & Camilla/Louisa & Vincent who were all great too.

1. Mark and Karen - those hips...

2. Gethin and Camilla - showed so much improvement in the later weeks.

3. Lisa and Brendan/Colin and Erin - can't decide between them really. Loved them both.

Gethin and Camilla
Rachel and Vincent
Chris and Ola (I think they are a fabulous couple even if the dancing isnt quite up to the same standard as my other favs.)

someone mentions this series

great contributions everyone thanks
does anyone know, is there one series in partic that is prominent in these choices..?
i wonder if the producers changed this year...

The best couple ever, Mark and Karen.
Second place, Colin and Erin
Third, Vincent and Rachel

1. Jill Halfpenny & Darren Bennett
2. Mark Ramprakash & Karen Hardy
3. Alesha Dixon & Matthew Cutler

No.4 -- Colin Jackson & Erin Boag (liked them lots + wanted them to win for a while but can never forgive Erin that diabolical showdance with the puppets !!!!)


I think Jill Halfpenny was the first celeb contestant to take it really serious (and enjoy it) and completely up the game for all other celebs who followed.

Denise and Ian
Tom and Camilla
Thingy and Vincent, she was really cute

Mark and Karen (the only truly deserving winners of a series IMO - I missed Jill's year so don't include her)
Austin and Erin
Louise and Vincent

Colin Jackson - best male dancer on the show. Fact.
Ricky W - can't help it, I know he ain't perfect but boy is he a good dancer.
Jill & Darren

Colin and Erin
Austin and Erin
Jill and Darren

Matt and Flavia
Jill and Darren
Darren and Lilia

Jill and Darren

Ramps and Karen

Alesha and Matt

(Rachel and Vincent just outside my top three, with Ricky W fast coming up on the outside!)

1. Bill and Karen

2. Chris and Ola

3. Zoe and Ian

I chose the first two based purely on the relationship side and not the dancing side, although Chris has got further in strictly than Bill did.

As for Zoe and Ian..... that Tango was fantastic. Ian and Zoe should've won that year.

Jill and Darren
Gethin and Camilla
Mark and Karen

No particular order!

Alesha and Matthew
Gethin and Camilla
Tom and Camilla/Rachel and Vincent

1, Vincent and Louisa
2, Matt and Flavia
3, Ali and Brian - My favourite ever!

1)Zoe Ball and Ian Waite
2) Ricky Whittle and Natalie Lowe
3) Alesha Dixon and Matthew Cutler
