I think that's it!!

I liked all of those couples (except for Austin & Erin who I couldnt seem to support) but I have to say.. its a bit random for them not to have any previous winners in.

I know that they've all done it before, but I think at least one should probably have been there.

I hope Rachel from that list wins actually..

what each to their own

Doesnt seem right that Gethin isnt dancing with Camilla

I know he danced with Flavia on the tour, but it doesn't seem right. Also isn't she a little small for him?

It will have one champion, who knows who yet, but it would be nice to see a couple of others.

I'm not one for a conspiracy theory (I may be lying there), but is the problem with the former champions the pros they are partnered with Tom and Ramps' don't compete and Darren and Lilia seemed to being pushed to the give them crap partners and early exits. The only other option apart from those is Ms Dixon, but I assume she is judging.

I'd have liked to have seen Gethin dancing with Camilla one more time but from what I can gather she's recording some of her GMTV stuff at the moment and probably doesn't have the time anyway.

On the other hand I enjoyed watching Geth dancing with Flavia and it would save a dismal series for me if they were to win the Christmas show this year

PS: I won't be disappointed if Austin and Erin win it though

If Austin and Erin win... it would make up a little for a rather disappointing SCD series.

For me 2, I'm keeping my fingers crossed

mind with them judges anything can happen and Len hated their paso the first time around, so I'll be sharpening my claws

I think it'd be great if Austin&Erin do win the Xmas special, they were really good last year.

It's a pretty good line-up, it's just a shame that Rachel is doing it again this year- it doesn't seem fair as she was in it last year, and I never really warmed to her. (I do love Vincent though). I want Austin or Gethin to win, IMO both of them were robbed of places in the final when they were in Strictly.
