Vincent and Flavia

Matthew Cutler and Natalie Lowe

Vincent and Flavia

Vincent and Flavia

Brendan (didn't even hesitate to think there!)

and for the ladies? mmmmm.......... think it would be Flavia!

Ian and Erin

I'm another who's found this easy!

Definitely Flavia and Ian.

(Gonna so miss those red shiny trousers)

The gorgeous Brian Fortuna and the equally ( in a different way) gorgeous Kristina.

Difficult decision as far as the boys are concerned, between Brendan and Ian. Total opposites I know but I love a bad boy and like Brendan's latin, however I adore Ian's personality and humour.
Didn't take to Natalie in the series but did an about turn after the celeb tour.
So Ian and Natalie for me

Darren & Lilia!

Ian and Lilia... only just, I want to save at least half of them!!

Matthew and Flavia.

(Sorry, Ian - you were pipped to the post ...)

I'd save Vincent and Natalie.

I'd bin James and Flavia.

This isn't about who you'd bin, it's not really a thread for negativity! By all means start a thread about who you wouldn't keep but that's not what this game is about...

Matthew and Aliona.

The Hip Hop Samba

Darren and Lilia

Is it just me or is anyone else surprised at the spread (apart from no one saving Anton )?

Maybe it is down to all the activity on the ATs?

I'm not overly surprised, it basically reflects the appreciation threads in order of how busy they generally are! And it also shows just how many pros really are loved by the viewers (and *cough* how stupid the BBC have been! *cough* ) - partly why last year's line-up of pros worked so well I think! All but 2 of last year's dancers have a fair bit of popular support behind them judging from this (although of course it#s only one poll, done on a forum where people do feel passionate in their support of certain pros!)

I'd be interested to see how this would compare with a poll on the opposite, which pros people would have chosen to remove from the competition first, but that's probably a bit too predictable on the male side anyway - the girls is probably harder to call. I'd find picking one guy and girl for that one a lot easier though...

I've learnt with this forum to never try and predict the popularity of anything or anyone.

I'm glad that the people I voted for are both relatively high up, even if the people I think I'd boot are both higher!

My favourites are Natalie & Anton. The reason is because SCD are more likely to axe them if they have fans based on their recent decisions so BBC if your reading this please don't axe these 2 wonderful personalities.

My real favourites are Ian & Lilia. And I liked Katya too.

I'm sad to see James so far down the list, he was my second choice after Vincent

I'd save Ian & Natalie
