Hello Hannah, I wish I could go back to being a newbie again lol, welcome to you, those are good choices, and I get sad too when anyone has to leave.

Mark is my favourite, but obviously I am realistic and know he is totally not going to win. I'm torn between Abby and Natalie as favourites to win, but I've yet to warm to Alijaz, so Natalie for me as champion

Mark is my favourite, followed by Abbey.

Even though Mark's size is a part of who he is, I sometimes wish he'd waited until he'd lost more weight to do this show because I think he would have been a serious contender for that Glitterball!! I think his technique would have been near perfect visually if he was smaller. But on the other hand, I love that he has shown that he CAN dance even at the size he is now!

Abbey is not technically perfect but you can tell how much she feels the dancing and that is what I enjoy watching. She and Aljaz are so suited! I'm really hoping she gets better at the faster Latins and never sees the bottom two again!

Now that Pasha and Rachel have gone, I don't really have a favourite.

Am most looking forward to seeing three:
Sophie because she intrigues me.
Natalie because she is polished.
Patrick because he has made me smile twice for the right reasons.
