... I second that. Did you clock how good they looked together when he was twirling her around! I think their Ballroom will be great.... Latin maybe not so, but hey.

I like Anita and Robin. They seem to have the chemistry straightaway.

She is self deprecating and modest. I like that. She will grow in confidence I think with Robin.

I liked it.

I think

Holly & Artem
Jason & Kristina
Lulu & Brendan
Edwina & Vincent

are excellent Pairing.

Not too keen on Anton & Nancy. Hope they are the first out.

Love, love that SCD is back. Dan Lobb is adorable, can't dance but what the heck.
Holly and Jason look to have potential and little Russel seems full of fun. Kudos to Flavia for her reaction

How do you know that she has no sense of humour?”

Edwina also put a lot of effort and personal pride behind the movement to lower the age of homosexual consent. She might be a Tory but she's one of the few good uns.

She made such a big deal then about being a "star", marching up and down the aisles, shouting to people, pouting and preening. I had no idea who she was, but thought what a silly pratt And now she's had her knockers done she looks even more ridiculous, imho”

Looks like my gut feeling was correct, a tacky chav who we can only hope will be out as soon as possible.

They looked genuinely pleased to be partnered, I have a feeling they are going all the way!

only just caught up on the launch show... some interesting pairings, but so disappointed to see both vincent and flavia given duds... again... are they being punished for something??

I was initially disappointed but I think the consensus on Russell is that he may turn out to be better than expected! From the group dance he looks quite a good mover and he has a background in entertaining . He's already formed a strong bond with Flavia and I'm now looking forward to seeing them perform together

Not sure about Vincent and Edwina - she looks to be giving it a good go on the training video and Vincent is his usual charming self

but not sure she'll last with the pubic!

I too wonder why some of the more seasoned pro dancers get the celebs that may not go on to win it but I am sure there is no hidden agenda.

Although last year Anton prob got more air time than any other, if for the wrong reasons.

I think it's because as others have said on a few of the other threads most of the seasoned pros don't do the SCD tour and do their own thing after the tv series finishes.
