I like
Anthony and Oti
Jay seemed so nervous and petrified

so Im not sure what to make of him and Aliona yet

Oh dear...I have a feeling that Brendan and his partner are going to annoy me to no end.....
I actually loved
Tristan and Jamelia....I will be rooting for them.
At the moment, these 3 couples.......
Helen & Aljaz, sweet pair.
Well it was always going to be Tristan and whoever he was partnered with for me and I'm actually pleasantly surprised by Jamelia. She seems fun and looked like a decent dancer too.
I can't vote because I'm liking four! Think they will be very good.
Jay & Aliona,
Georgia & Giovanni
Peter & Janette
Kirsty & Brendan
Peter and Janette
Helen and Fag-Ash
I was only half watching while online but Kellie & Kevin looked good
Helen & Aljaz
Not sure why, but there's something 'about' her.
Like Anita & Gleb and Katie & Anton too.

Yes, I'm surprised they put Helen with Aljaz as he's a previous winner already only 2 years ago and Helen could well be a serious contender this year.

Me too, as TPTB don't seem to like pros winning more than once each, especially so soon after already winning.
That said, I hope they give Andre a run for his money!
Can I have two please!
I voted Jamelia and Tristan.
But also like Anthony and Oti, they are the hottest couple, wow!
AInsley and Natalie
And Anita and Gleb
Decisions, decisions. In the end I voted for Jamelia and Tris.
I voted for Jay and Aliona because I like his Twitter sense of humour and i love Aliona as a dancer and choreographer.
Anthony and Oti also could be good pairing.
Slightly disappointed with Helen, which was one of my pre show favourites, found her a bit blander than I expected, but hopefully with Alijaz they will be great.
I think Ainsley and Natalie are going to be the most fun to watch so will pick them for now.
I voted for Helen and Alijaz. I'm quite sure I heard her say when she was paired up with Alijaz that she thought she was going to get Anton.

She looked great, I have to admit.
To be honest, I did think that Carol was going to get lumped with Anton.

Yeah, his partner was Abby Clancy, the model. I seem to remember her nan came to see her perform on a number of the live shows.
I voted for Anthony & Oti mainly because they look really good together, and I think they could have good chemistry when they dance together. I also have high hopes for Peter & Janette and Jay & Aliona.
Kirsty was my early favourite as I actually know who she is(!) and think she seems lovely, but I'm disappointed she was partnered with Brenden - hopefully he will treat her well and not sulk this year!!!

I could be wrong in saying this, Tejas, but I'm sure that he didn't gel with his partner, Sunetra Sarka (who plays Zoe Hanna on Casualty) very well. He got on great with Sophie, two years ago.
I did wonder when I was watching the launch show, about how Anthony is going to manage with his injured shoulder - hence the reason he was able to take part
I think Peter & Janette could be the ones to beat, looking forward to Anton & Katie he might be in it for the long haul this year.
Voted Jamelia & Tristan, but also looking forward to Katie/Anton, Kellie/Kevin, Helen/Aljaz, and Peter/Janette.
