Welcome Pashionate and Corky.
Thanks to everyone for all gorgeous Pasha pics and all interviews and videos posted, much appreciated. Thanks also to Korky for asking after me. Read that your boy and Flavia will be dancing at some point in the series and looking forward to that.
As for today's pics from his book signing, soooooo hot.
Whatever happens this series I wish Pasha all the best and have no doubt he will be as patient and kind with his celebrity as ever. Whether his stay will be shorter or longer (hopefully the latter, but thinking the former,) I am just glad that the best male pro on the show is returning. If his stay is to be short this time around, it could mean more opportunity for book signings or planning a tour with Katya again.
Am sure Pasha doesn't need anyone either on the forums or the show itself to tell him he is due someone with lesser ability or a challenge you could say or someone above a certain age.
If we were to move up the decades then his next partner would be Susanna, but somehow think she may be Kevin's celeb. So if that leaves Deborah, Vanessa or Fiona (if she is taking part) then fine, I'm going to give them a chance and not dismiss them simply because they aren't the young ones or contender material.
Whilst one or two seem to expect to get the young ones or contenders each year, Pasha will work well with whoever he is given. If anyone deserves a contender then it is Anton, but seems unlikely. Besides, a great teacher should be able to teach any pupil irrespective of age, size or ability.
Whoever his partner is she should count herself very lucky.
As for the show itself, it would be rather funny if a male celeb won again as they do seem to be going all out for a female celeb winner.
I haven't seen the trailer for the new series, but heard it is great. However, as someone on the MF said pity only a select few pros were used and I agree. Anyone would be disappointed if their favourite had been omitted, although I won't email the BBC, taking things a bit too far.
I really hope that this isn't a sign of what the series will be like and no favouritism or fixing will be evident; not so sure though.
Be interesting to see the pairings indeed and also who is heavily involved in the pro numbers, who is centre stage, who is omitted, etc. Gilks of course will have a big say in many of these aspects, just hope he isn't swayed by anyone.
Not convinced the BBC realise what a gem they have in Pasha these days, but Kimberley certainly did.
To quote a few sentences, she says ' Despite being one of the most talented dancers in the industry, handsome and charming to boot, he never, ever boasts.' Before adding, 'Spending so much time together for Strictly, I observed the way he was with people - men, women and children - and he'd always find a way to make them feel uniquely cherished.' Finally, 'In an industry that's notoriously full of egos
masking even bigger insecurities, I've never seen Pasha have a moment of self-consciousness.'
Thank you Kimberley for acknowledging what a humble, witty, talented and gorgeous dance partner you had on the show.
Some could say that Kimberley would have said this about whoever she was paired with, but I don't think so, their partnership wasn't just magical to their fans, but more importantly to them.
Her foreword is indeed wow, what a tribute and spot on with all her observations.
Finally thank you Pasha for giving us an insight into your world, it really is an amazing story.
