I love this thread - agree with loads of comments and even the ones I don't agree with are interesting perspectives
I suppose this should be a diff thread but the above comments made me think - should Pasha be dancing with Holly and Artem with Chelsee? I fancy Pasha could tap into Holly's understated sophistication and find choreography to bring the audience round to her charms. Artem on the other hand is not single and so Chelsee might feel less embarrassed about intensifying her moves. Just a thought. I'd also put Olla back with her hubby and let Alex and Robbie thrash it out! (James is taken with Alex and Robbie with Olla so it might help Olla and James get over their qualms).
How would you re-pair the remaining couples for best results?
I think that's an interesting topic, maybe you should start a new thread. My immediate thought is Holly and Brendan.
The majority of the comments on here are hilarious! I've finished reading them, but I'm still smiling.
Chelsee: Come on! My forum name gives it away

But, she is sweet, funny, talented, and I wish I could give her more self-confidence
Pasha: Pretty much the same as Chelsee, minus the need for self-confidence. Great addition, and to me, the best pro dancer this series.
Harry: Sweet (familiar theme here

), but that's about it. In terms of dancing, I think if he let go/had more fun with it, he would do even better.
Aliona: I am definitively not an expert on how dance is supposed to be, but I do think there are dances, such as salsa, and the jive, where she hasn't given Harry enough to do/danced around him for most of the dance
Jason: I can't warm to him; it does seem like he's more about the competition, and completely agree with skimpy scampi:
Quote: Why use 30 words when 2 or 3 will do
Kristina: I have loved her since she began the show, think it's good that she's got a partner with great potential, just wish it was Harry, although I can't picture them together in my mind
Alex: Think she's nice (not using sweet!), that's about it, definitely has improved from the first week.
James: I think he's actually gotten softer over the series. There was one series he was with this actress from Holby City/Casualty, and his attitude was unimpressive to say the least. (Quick mention of Brendan, definitely gotten softer, gonna miss him!)
Robbie: Meh! No opinion at all, but I do like his attitude towards Chelsee.
Ola: Love Ola, but it's true, the dresses do make it look like she's trying to detract attention. But to be honest, although I don't remember them all, I don't think she's had any good partners over the series (I was genuinely surprised that Chris Hollins won over Ricky Whittle)
Holly: Love her personality, but the dancing is not good. Again, I don't know if it's physical lack, or unwillingness on her part, but it does not work. Maybe she needs to imagine she needs to dance fast to reach a loved one in danger or something (shrugs)
Artem: Wasn't impressed before, but it seems he's become a bit more relaxed since the injury, and I think it's good for their team.
