a) Jeremy 6.3 - Natalie 5.10
b) Ainsley 6.3 - Otlile (height???)
c) Iwan 6.1 - Janette 5.1
d) Daniel 5.10 - Kristina 5.3
e) Jay 6.1 - Karen 5.5
f) Peter 5.9 - Aliona 5.5
g) Anthony 5.11 Ola 5.2
a) Heightwise makes sense and *she was dancing with him in initial rehearsals* (but that said, so was Kristina. Depends who producers want out first). Nat due midrange to good.
b) They might not want to put a black sleb and black pro together, even though both their latin should be good and newbie usually gets midranger.
c) He should be able to lift her. She is due midranger.
d) She is due a duffer. Wholesome Christian vs Siberian siren bollocks.
e) *Seen dancing together in initial rehearsals* but Otlile has also tweeted him (so could swap Karen to go with Ainsley and Otlile to go with Jay).
f) She is due a ringer. *Seen dancing together in initial rehearsals.*
g) He is injured. She is injured. He was seen dancing with her understudy/spare Joanne.
but Ola/Peter had requested each other so...
a) Georgia 5.1 - Giovanni 5.10
b) Helen 5.7- Tristan 5.11
c) Carol 5.10 - Anton 5.11
d) Anita 5.?- Aljaz 6.1
e) Jamelia 5.7 - Brendan 6.0
f) Kirsty 5.4 - Gleb 6.1
g) Katie 5.6 - Kevin 5.8
h) Kellie 5.1 - Pasha 5.10
a) *twitter comment.* Pretty sure these two will be the showmance
b) He is due a ringer. *Photo of them laughing outside initial rehearsals*
c) Heightwise she should be with Gleb. Performance wise Anton is safe hands.
d) Heightwise she should be Kev/Pash but that said Janette is only 5.1. Unlikely for her to be with Anton as the Laila controversy will be raked up
e) hahahahahaha She is feisty He does not like underrehearsed/lazy. hahahahahaha
Fireworks or she will be like the Olympic one. He did good with last pop princess he had.
f) although she wanted Anton(?!) *twitter comment* /physical parity might mean these two
g) *Photo of them laughing outside initial rehearsals* He is due an early boot/she is less known
h) *Seen dancing together in initial rehearsals* He is due an early boot/she might be deemed midrange due to Georgia, Helen etc
This is the third time I have rejigged this! With an absence of obvious duffers and with fanbases for the more challenged being high, it is anybody's game this year.
Am supporting Ainsley, Carol and Jay. Preference for these would be Nat/Otlile, Tristan if he can choreo/Anton/Brendan, Nat/Otlile (alas no Joanne

)
Roll on next Friday!
