I voted Iveta because I loved her partnerships with Mark and Tham!

At the risk of being lynched, I don't understand all the Natalie love. The way she over-exaggerates how great everything is really annoys me! Her ballroom routines are obviously lovely, but her latin is heading in the Erin direction.

Plus has everyone forgotten this:

and shortly afterwards, this:

No lynching from me, but I like the way she interacts with her celeb as a teacher. I'm not especially judging on her technical ability, largely because I am not qualified to, but that's just me and no reflection on others.

As to what "everyone has forgotten" I genuinely had no idea of it, but it changes what I have written above not one iota.

favorite female: Janette for being the most versatile. She has a go at everything. This year her choreography has been brilliant with tons of content and with lots of challenges to her partner.

Aliona is my second favorite, a great dancer and lovely to look at.

favorite males: Aljaz and Trent, I find them to be the better dancers as of right now, not based on seniority but actual dancing.

Fine you don't understand it .. we're not asking you to understand it .. just deal with it
If I'm going to base my opinions on what the tabloids say then I wouldn't support any of the pro dancers.
Love Natalie and love her choreography.

Her ballroom routines are obviously lovely, but her latin is heading in the Erin direction.
I think that's an insult to Natalie. With all due respect to Erin, watching her Latin was like watching an amateur celeb doing Latin rather than a pro doing Latin. Latin may not be Nat's forte, but she still looks like a pro, imo, when she's doing it. Fair enough if you don't like her Latin, but to lump her in with Erin (who is on par with how bad Anton is at Latin) seems rather harsh to me. Nat could out dance Erin in Latin any day!

My answer will never change.

Anton.

He is to me the whole package.
Great dancer, great singer, charismatic, charming, chivalrous, and downright blimmin gorgeous.

He's everything I'd want a man to be


If I had to pick a female, I'd say Ola. She's just lovely. However she's only moved to number 1 lady since Erin left.

Aliona

Natalie has always been my second favourite but she's irritated me a bit this year so I'm going to say Ivetta.

I like all the boys but I'm going to say Trent this year.

Voted for Aljaz but surprisingly not for entirely shameless reasons. He's the best dancer and a good choreographer. However, if we were asked to vote for a male and a female pro, Natalie would have also got my vote.

I really, really, really, really dislike Kevin with a passion. His overdancing, like he is trying to upstage everyone else, including his celeb partner, drives me insane.

Female pro: Natalie/Karen/Janette

Male pro: Alijaz/Brendan

Overall though had to be Natalie - she's such a lovely person in real life, a great teacher and a beautiful dancer.

Aliona or Karen.
But with Aliona out of things, I'll go for Karen.

Aljaz gets my vote but Pasha is a close second. Female pro would be Aliona.

Male: Brendan, simply because he is the best at the ballroom dances (or to use the strictly correct term, the standard dances). Actually he is the best 10-dance dancer among the men.

Female: Iveta, because she is the best 10-dance dancer among the women - after all, who can argue with a World Champion? It's just a pity she hasn't had a celeb yet who is good at the standard dances. Also to me she is the sexiest pro.

I would love to see them doing a professional demo of the waltz or foxtrot but of course it isn't going to happen.
