Kimberley and Pasha, and Denise and James. Both looked like they could be really be good.

me too or a waltz

And i'm with you too, Smokey. Dunno yet about the dance side of things but Johnny has to be my favourite human being on the show this year, sooo charismatic. He's not a comedy contestant at all but he's nicely nuts and very charming. I hope Aliona realises how lucky she is.

Really want to see PendleBrend. But it's an excellent selection overall.

Voted for Victoria and Brendan, but there's quite a few I'm looking forward to seeing.

Louis and Flavia. She's my favourite female pro and he seems actually really nervous despite everything so I think it's a great match. She's so sweet she's bound to set him at ease. I can't wait for their latin numbers.

When Bruce said to Johnny 'you'll be in safe hands with her' I thought he'd gone nuts. Aliona? She's the last thing from safe. Always playing it close to the wind. But Johnny Ball's more than a bit crazy too, although in the most loveable way, so perhaps it'll work out well.

On Friday's show probably Colin and Kristina to see how the height thing pans out.

We must be sharing a brain, Terry.

Ditto. I know Denise isn't popular on here, but I hope she's good.

I wanted an all of them button

That probably wont last very long but I do find it interesting to see what each couple can do ,those who surprise us with how well they can do, and also those who surprise us with how very bad you can be at dancing even with the very best of teachers

I love Denise as a tv personality. She is funny and bubbly. I really hope she does well

Denise and James/Kimberley and Pasha, fingers crossed for both couples.....

James has no excuse now - he has to show he can do more than simple and safe.
Flavia has (it seems) a beginner who may have huge potential - I'm hoping they excel.
I'm assuming Pasha and Kimberley will always be excellent.
Vincent and Dani are strange in that she can dance but can look gawky so I'm interested in how Vincent remoulds Dani.
Anton and Jerry I expect to mainly be entertainers through their relationship.
I think Erin and Richard are going to have to find a way to liven things up as they might be dull.
Robin and Lisa. I hope they can tone down the enthusiasm and actually genuinely get along well and dance.
Brendan and Victoria. I think some of Brendan's choreography makes Aliona's look normal, so I have no idea how this will go.
Natalie and Michael. Natalie is good, so there might be some hope of dancing.
Iveta and Johnny. Its more a case of what can be gathered together and will Johnny get through the routine?
Kristina and Colin. The producers made them a novelty act, which is unfair on them.
Karen and Nicky - I'm hoping Karen will get Nicky to his full potential.
Ola and Sid - maybe can get along well and Sid may even be able to learn to dance - surprise?

Artem and Fern - Fern doing the talking and some reasonable dancing. Artem proving she's not a dud.

I really love pash and Kimberley, but right now I'm most excited about Louis and flavia. I just feel like he could potentially be amazing so I'm excited to see him. Plus I love flavia!

My goodness you took the words right out of my mouth, I've been inconsolable but putting on a brave front, as is she.

I've found your brain sharing tweet with just 10 minutes to go, how exciting.

For me it has to be Richard and the exquisitely beautiful, supremely talented yet totally grounded Ms Boag

Pasha and Kim but mainly because of Pasha

Also Vincent and Dani


Flavia and Louis
