They should make the height differences comparible between pairs to make it fairer. Celebrity guys with small partners are always going to have a better advantage than those with partners closer to their height as they will be able to do more spectacular lifts.

Similarly with the girls. Daft putting small girl with the tallest guy when other taller girls are partnered with men the same height as themselves, eg. Jennifer.

I don't think they are considering fairness I think they are looking to create pairing where they can do the mega lifts that were started with Bonni. That's why they put tiny Jorgi with probably the best lifter in the show Matt, just so we could see him throw her about and lift her with one hand.

Say they put Jorgi with Daniel and Jennifer with Matt, it might be fairer but Daniel has never been shown to do huge lifts and I don't think Matt could lift Jennifer the way he does with Jorgi because she's bigger.

Not sure Sean is the best match for Chemmy - he looks like her dad because he has no hair and she has masses of it.
But they're a good match in terms of height & build. Sean did a lot of work with Johnson last year helping him skate & recover from the injuries he sustained in Iraq and from what Chemmy has said he has been doing a good job with her in terms of recovering from her leg injury so they may have benn paired together for that reason too.

Sean isn't that old! I think they make a good team.

What a load of rubbish! Why should hair have anything to do with a skating partnership?

I feel I should also point out that Sean is only slightly older than Frankie - both are in their late 30s.

I'm not sure any of the pros could lift Chemmy - maybe Andrei. That said her partner doesn't look the fittest. Heidi is tall-ish as well and not tiny like Jorgi.

Although to be fair some of the male skaters might well be better at lifts than other. Some are individual dancers, some are ice dancers (who generally don't lift) and some are pairs skaters and some are show skaters. I imagine the the pairs skaters and show skater would be better at lifting than the others. Matt and Andrei seems particularly good at the lifts
I think she's only 5'2?
