I have really enjoyed Gleb and Anita this year. She's been good, they've had some entertaining routines and Gleb, well I'm not sure that I fancy him more that I recognise that he's certainly fanciable, if that makes sense.
He's also been good for people watching; his laser like ability to find the camera in a crowd, his waxwork like stance when he doesn't want to play the game or doesn't agree with the conversation, his inscrutable looks and his occasional bone dry wit have all been small joys which have greatly enhanced my viewing.
I just wish that we had seen a little more of his cheeky, flirty side witnessed on DWTS, but I guess having been put in the 'OMG hearthob!' role early on somehow stymied that, unlike Giovanni who deftly steered away from the equally stupid son-of-simone label, possibly because he had no clue what they were on about.
