Totally People, don't underestimate my skillz! I have the heart of a lion!
I think we may have to go through the heats > quarter finals > semis > final process, thinking about it. The list of Pav-love gets bigger every day

Pah, the heart of a lion won't help you much, the sword skills of the "Dread Pirate Roberts*" would be much better.

I'm liking your idea about the elimination process, we also need a "Fight off", in which the last two fighters have to refight again to go through to the next round.

I think we need our own thread for this, don't you.

*Big Princess Pride fan.

Hello, my name is lach doch mal. You fancy my Pav. Prepare to die.

Lorelei Lee I quite possibly love you. I was thinking of doing something similar, but didn't think that anyone would get what I was going on about. The fencing scene on the "Cliffs of insanity" is class (as is the scene between Inigo and the sixth fingered man.

I am such a PB fangirl I actually have my very own Dread Pirate Roberts action figure, fencing its little heart out on my mantelpiece

My favourite bit is when Westley wakes up in the Pit of Despair and Mel Smith does his spooky voice, then coughs and goes back into his normal one

You lucky person, where did you get that from?

One of my favourite scenes, is the one between the Count and Prince Humperdinck:

"You know how much l love watching your work, but I have my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder and Giulder to blame for it. I'm swamped!" (I think something like that). Actually I love a lot of other scenes as well.

It's a brilliant film, such a classic "inconceivable".

'Twas a Christmas present, but you can get them on Ebay easily enough

^^Fan-bloody-tastic

Y'know, I've been thinking. Pav's a big fella. There's enough of him to go round surely? Can't we all just give peace a chance?

Pav's the DOI man for me!

Edit: OP, why don't you collate all the votes to find our winner?

Pavel is my favourite too.

He is a lovely, lovely guy.

Maria and Pavel

Maria, Pavel and Fred

I liked Maria best last year, but something seems a bit wrong this year with her partner like she is having to overact to make gary look good.

I have never seen the Pavel love. He just looks like an unlikley person to ice dance- sorry

My favourite male is Fred and female is Melanie They're magic when they dance together!

Dan has always been my favourite male pro.

Females - I like watching Frankie skate and have always admired Maria. Florentine was pretty good too!

Fred and Mel! Don't ask me to choose between them!
