I feel like I'm the only one who likes Kevin more this series. He and Susanna had good chemistry but it felt at times like they were both elbowing one another aside under the big grins and jazz hands a bit to get in the very very front of whatever they were doing. He just feels more settled this year. His choreography's hit-and-miss with me, but then it was last year, and I can't think of a pro who's managed a more Herculean feat ever than wrangling Defying Gravity into a recognisable tango.
Anton I like a bit more for his relationship with Judy, Brendan a bit less because he could at least try to look engaged, I like Natalie more for how Mama Bear she got with Tim, and Pasha I'm getting a bit bored of but I think's probably just that it's getting a bit old to see him with pretty young woman after pretty young woman, most of them with dance-skills and most of them a bit bland. He needs a duffer/older woman or a big, potentially challenging, personality like Chelsee if he comes back next series I think. Kristina has seemed a bit more mature and a bit less prone to melting down in the face of a crisis than she has before. My opinion of Ola, Karen and Janette hasn't really changed. Aljaz showed more of a fun side via his choreography but he still doesn't seem to be a very sparky personality. Iveta remains Ivetamazing. Aliona didn't really last long enough for me to have an opinion either way.
