I saw your Tweet.

Glad you enjoyed yourself and looking forward to seeing some more thoughts tomorrow!

I can see Louise as a potential shock early evictee in the vein of Pixie and Helen

Two or three of those are predictable.
The most interesting potentially could be Danny Mac and Oti imo.

I'm going to stop picking pre launch favourites because they always get paired up with that smarmy little nob.

It's Greg and Natalie for me all the way now.

I was looking forward to Will's ballroom.

... Less so now he's with Karen.

Louise & Kevin I think they'll be fun, and will probably help Louise's popularity. I can see a 4th time in a row as runner up for Kev though!
Tamika & Gorka
Claudia & AJ It was always going to be these two but they will work well together!
Anastacia & Brendan Didn't see this coming! I hope Anastacia's more of an SEB than a Lulu/Michelle
Laura & Giovanni
Greg & Natalie
Judge Rinder & Oksana
Danny & Oti
Melvin & Janette
Ore & Joanne
Will & Karen I'm a bit puzzled by this; Will can be quite shy and reserved and Karen seems to work well with the more extrovert celebrities (Dave, Mark Wright etc). I wish Will had got Joanne who I feel would "get" him better.
Ed & Katya

Sorry from Stig for the lateness.”

Thank you Stig and Monaogg for your work!

My thoughts are in the quote.

I am already sensing a fourth runner-up spot in a row for Mr Clifton.

(Thanks for all the spoiler efforts.)

To be fair to Kevin all of the women seem to be decent this year including Lesley. Danny and Oti and Ore and Joanne are interesting

Thank you some pairings were easy to guess, others not so much. Hope you had a good time.

Thanks all for the spoiler. Time for some sleep now me thinks

Pro dances were, in filming order:

Group pro dance to Olly Murs
Big lively Salsa number to Conga
Group pro dance to Rebecca Ferguson
Opening number to Everybody Dance Now (lots of takes of this)
Final number to Shake Your Tailfeather (no obvious duds... yet!)

Oh, and look out for a backflipping Claudia. Winkleman, not Fragapane.

I got 3 pairings right.... OOPS!

Greg & Natalie
Melvin & Janette
Claudia & AJ

I guess those three were the most predictable going on heights.

Agreed. I have a feeling she will be reserved and not get fully into it therefore the GBP won't "warm" to her.

Thanks for the pairings. I can go to bed now. I'm being forced to play rounders tomorrow at 10.30 in the morning. I did not sign up for this. I haven't played rounders in over twenty years. Not that anyone wanted to know this. Thanks again.

Yep- looks like he got his wish

For some reason, I'm either disappointed or surprised that Will got Karen- not sure why.

All the others- brilliant.

I'd swap Kevin's and Gorka's partners but otherwise 'tis ok. Is Gorka tiny or something?

THANKS so much to Stig & Monaogg!!!

Thanks so much you two for sharing the wealth of knowledge! Much appreciated

A few disappointments for me but a few jackpots too (I hope!)
