Who would the producer want to get to the final stages?
Who would keep viewer numbers high?

It will depend on a number of factors.
They have had female winners in the last two years and it has looked like there was a 'female winner' process going on two years ago.

A bit of controversy is always a plus, so Peter and Jamelia could fit that role. Jay is likely to be good enough potentially to dance his way to the final. You cant have the best dancer not make it to the final - except last year.

Unless Peter has made it a condition of signing up that he dances with Ola, I don't think they will be paired, because I think getting injured off-piste last year will still count against Ola. Natalie and Oti are too tall for Peter, so it will be from Kristina, Janette, Karen or Aliona. They could manipulate Peter to the final with any of them, but it should be easier with Kristina or Aliona. They have a lot of tall males this year, so that would make Karen and Aliona less likely to be paired with Peter. My logic says Kristina - unless Peter insisted on Ola.

My logic also wouldn't have paired Kristina with Colin Salmon.

So it's anybody's guess what they will do.

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!

I remember an interview Tristan gave during DWTS when he said he loved teaching but was not so keen on choreographing so I do think this may be the reason why he has never been given a ringery type yet either here or in US. The pros can get help with choreography if required but I think there is only so much help available. Maybe he prefers working with a less talented celeb?

For this reason alone I hope he is not paired with Helen. Plus as one of the taller females she needs a tall professional. Tristan never looks that tall somehow.

A lot of people on here seem to think it's his God given right to have a ringer though....I wouldn't mind if Tristan got one......but perhaps if he's not confident about choreography he should have a middler or someone he could at least have a decent run with. I do think it'll be a nice change for him to have someone relatively young though - if only to stop people on here moaning...perhaps Kirsty or Jamelia.

Personally, I don't think Tristam absolutely ought to get a ringer but I must admit I'd like to see him with a Cherie Lunghi rather than a Jo Wood or a Judy Murray.

That's an interesting tidbit. It could be that his fans are more concerned about him getting a ringer-type partner than he is. He seemed more content, less displeased to get Jenny Gibney last year so perhaps he's aware of his limitations as a choreographer and prefers a non-competitive celeb.

I've found some videos of Otlile on the German show Let's Dance and she seems to use lots of unnecessary lifts and, to me, seems like a weak choreographer so if she does get Jay like a lot of us have predicted we may have another Nicky and Karen situation. I myself don't have Twitter but if someone else does, you might want to warn her about the lifting rules on Strictly to prevent this from happening.

Here is the link for where I found the videos: http://www.rtl.de/cms/sendungen/lets-dance/videos.html

I watched the series from start to finnish and there were no rules regarding lifts, I am sure she will be told

Hi Topaz, I like Tristan and would like to see more of him this series. Do I think it is God given right, no. But that does not stop me wanting him to get some one who will last longer longer than a couple of weeks. I original put him with Helen, but maybe Kirsty would be a better fit. Not long to wait now to find out.

Hi milly, sorry I exaggerated and perhaps made sweeping statements about all his fans It's just a few posters had a go at me last year when I disagreed with the notion that just because he'd been so hard done by on DWTS it automatically meant he should get a contender on joining strictly. I actually quite like him and would like to see him with someone he could have a good run with, so I hope he gets a chance to shine this series

That's OK Topaz. I to hope he gets chance to strut his stuff for longer this series
Looking forward to o see who will be paired with whom.

I have just performed some expert analysis of all the predictions made since the whole lineup was confirmed - by which I mean I stuck them in Excel - and I can tell you that, in order of certainty:

Georgia & Giovanni - virtually everybody agrees on this
Daniel & Kristina - around 60% think this, with Ola as second choice
Kirsty & Gleb - around 55% think this, with Brendan as second choice
Jamelia & Brendan - around half think this, with Gleb as second choice
Kellie & Kevin - just under half think this, with Pasha as second choice
Carol & Anton - just under half think this, with Aljaz as second choice
Helen & Tristan - just under half think this, with Aljaz as second choice
Jay & Otlile - around 43% think this, with Aliona as second choice
Ainsley & Natalie - around 39% think this, with Karen as a very close second choice
Peter & Ola - around 38% think this, with Janette as second choice
Anita & Pasha - there are actually more votes for Kevin here, but he doesn't have as strong a lead as he does with Kellie so I went with second choice

There is no consensus on Katie; Anton got the most votes, although not as many as he did for Carol, followed by a fairly even mix of votes for each of the other pros. There is likewise no great agreement for any of Anthony (25% each for Aliona and Janette), Jeremy (25% with Karen and 21.43% with Natalie) or Iwan (21.4% with Aliona and a three-way tie for second between Karen/Janette/Natalie).

Re bib: I confess that I parroted what others had suggested as I have no sense of the new dancers other than height.

On reflection, I can't decide if Ola having the surname 'Jordan' means it's more or less likely she'll be paired up with Peter given his former marriage.
