Going back to the original question: Yes, I think he has every chance of winning this year, it very much depends on how Jay is promoted and presented.”

Have to disagree with you just a bit. I saw him on tour just after he had danced with Anne Widdecombe, now I know he had loads to joke about, but some of things he said were really funny. As I remember the auditorium was full of laughter more than once...

All things being equal, they should both go a long way. There again, Anton, himself, is a bit of an exception among the pros. Whereas you see the others training with leggings, sweatbands etc., and obviously working seriously on their partners' fitness as well as their dancing, his approach seems to be to take his suit jacket off. He will need more than that if he is to progress beyond Blackpool.”

Maybe no leggings and sweatbands (whoever needed those to learn to dance?) but in the first weeks training videos I think only Anton and Kevin were wearing the correct footwear. It always astonishes me when the pros wear trainers to dance and, even worse, allow their beginner celebs not to dance in the correct shoes.

Anton has a great sense of humour Chrissie I agree.

Katie seems popular (and fun) so if her and Anton can string some good dances together they could stand a chance.”

Agreed!

Agreed, I cannot believe how many do it though, especially if your celeb is struggling with foo tor leg work. Jamelia could have been better had Tristan made her wear her shoes more. Without them on a beginner will never understand the toe heal movement which in turn produces the correct leg placement and hip movement. It's not about shaking your hips, it comes from the whole placement!!

I do not now if the pros select the order they dothe dances ot production, but it seems to me Anton is playing his cards well.

The jive was amazing, but a cha cha too early doors is a good idea. They do not have to do rumba or salsa, in the past years celebs have missed out up to three dances (sadly), but this allows him the chance down the stretch to perform ballroom coupled with paso and charleston, which Ibelieve they will excel in. Then ballroom, which nomatter what Anton can produce. Better then getting a cha cha or jive later on and ending up in the dance off, they will most likely be left with showstoppers.

they are well matched, just like Jay and Aliona and Georgia and Giovanni.

Agree with all of that, amelia. Either Anton is playing his cards well or the production team are being very Anton friendly!

Have the producer's got it right with his Partner, and does Anton think he has A chance than any other year since Lesley Garratt in the first season, i do think Katie will this to Anton is tell her because some of the other partners he has had done the year appear to do there own thing”



Anton and a semi doesn't sit very well with me, I'm sure he can go further.
