I liked Jamelia on 8 out of 10 Cats, and I think Tristan is the ideal partner for her. They will have fun, but he will hopefully keep her on track and they could go a long way. Its good to see Tristan with a celeb who might last a fair while and gives him a chance to show what he can do.
I'm thinking Jeremy Vine is likely to be bottom of the judges scoreboard, but Iwan (with only 3 days training) may be down there too. There are no duffers this year, so it will be hard to call. The judges are likely to save the celeb who they think has the most potential rather than the one who dances better in the dance-off (I've seen them do that before).
