Louise is the second of Kevin's partner's in a row that wardrobe seem to hate. Maybe it's him they hate. (It's him I hate.)

I feel sorry for Chloe to be left out in her first year and I also wonder if Neil & Katya will be regretting their decision to join the show given that Neil has no celeb and Katya is likely to be a very early exit.

Kevin didn't get a duffer!
They couldn't resist putting Laura with Gio could they - I bet the producers did an 11th switch between him and Brendan.
I don't like the idea of Will with Karen.

Lesley & Anton - Predictable
Naga & Pasha - Slightly hoped Pasha got Tameka, if there's anyone to bring out the best in Naga it'd be Pasha so looking forward to seeing how they work together.
Daisy & Aljaž - Not surprised, think this will be a sweet partnership
Louise & Kevin - Think they'll be a surprising early exit
Tameka & Gorka - Don't know much about him but judging by Stig's comment about them being cute, I can't wait to see the partnership and hope she goes far!
Claudia & AJ - Predictable, didn't really see her with anyone else.
Anastacia & Brendan - Surprising, can't see them getting along, wouldn't be surprised if producers swapped Brendan and Giovanni's partners last minute.
Laura & Giovanni - Predictable after seeing Georgia and Giovanni split, wonder if it will be awkward seeing as Georgia and Laura are friends? Dread to think what the headlines will be too🙄
Greg & Natalie - Predictable but v pleased!
Judge Rinder & Oksana - What a partnership
Danny & Oti - This will be 🔥🔥
Melvin & Janette - Predictable!
Ore & Joanne - No opinions, probably would of preferred Joanne and Karen to swap partners.
Will & Karen - Very pleased she has a potential contender this year!
Ed & Katya - No opinions

Very pleased with 6-7 of the pairings correct! Looking forward to seeing them all dance
Missing Tristan already

I think both Neil/Katya situation is their choice ... leaves her free to do other stuff as well when Balllsy is voted out first/second ...

He's good at running into a pit. Seriously with the Sportspeople its up in the air. Hopefully he will be better then Iwan.

I'm so pleased about Greg & Natalie I just hope he can dance, other's that appeal to me are Danny & Oti, Tameka & Gorka, Ore & Jo and Laura & Gio .. ohh the press are going to love these two together.

Surprised to see that Katya got a partner and not Neil. Wonder if Claudia was a late booking and AJ was just the perfect partner for her?

Thanks. I'll try to not be teed off. I mostly like Kevin but feel the producers favour him a bit too much.

I got the impression the pros were quite restricted during SCD season when it came to doing other stuff outwith the show?

Agree, and will leave them both for Christmas show

My thoughts:

Lesley & Anton - wish this were not so as the only journey Anton can take Lesley on is a comedy one

Naga & Pasha - unusual and will be interesting to see how Pasha works with someone like Naga

Daisy & Aljaž - not my favourite choice for the lovely Aljaž

Louise & Kevin - very surprised but pleasantly so as I like Louise and hope she'll have a good run

Tameka & Gorka - from the launch show footage I could quite like Tameka. Gorka's unknown

Claudia & AJ - this was predicted

Anastacia & Brendan - poor Anastacia

Laura & Giovanni - yawn

Greg & Natalie - excited. Greg's a looker and I hope Natalie will fashion a credible dancer from him

Judge Rinder & Oksana - not nice

Danny & Oti - unknown

Melvin & Janette - unknown

Ore & Joanne - I would have fancied Ore as a latin dancer and look forward to seeing him on SCD. Joanne is not the celeb I would have expected him to be paired with.

Will & Karen - don't see their personalities gelling

Ed & Katya - Ed came across well in the footage so this might be interesting. Katya looks like she smoulders ...

Interesting that three of the new pros got paired with 'personality' celebrities (Rinder, Tameka, Ed). With quite a few new faces this year I wonder if the producers are giving them a shot at making sufficient impact without too much pressure.

I can imagine the producers rubbing their hands with glee as they imagined the Laura/Giovanni headlines.

Thanks Stig and Mona!

Very happy with the Greg/Natalie and Claudia/AJ pairings, bit surprised on a couple of others but I'm looking forward to what could be a very interesting series!

Big thanks to Monaogg & Stig. Much appreciated!

Literally praying Greg can move.

Didn't expect most of those pairings tbh

Gio got Anastacia and said I'm your no.1_fan. He has a little shrine to her in his dressing room.

Lesley, having been dumped by Brendan, found solace in AJ and went full man-eating cougar on him. He reminded her Dorien is fictional as he ran away crying.

Chloe threw some marbles down the stairs Showgirls style which sent Jo flying. She is now favoured to win with Will.

Pasha got to wear his astronaut outfit again in the space-themed launch show and got paired with Laura. Hell no said Numbers Bitch (Rachel Riley, thanks Monkseal!) and dragged him home to fatten him up.

Neil took AJ's original partner Claudia into a lift but instincts took over and she somersaulted like Fiona Shrek over to Gorka and fed him marzipan.

Aljaz looked ridiculous in Mark's starship trooper spacesuit but was grateful for its waterproof qualities...he was paired with Daisy Lowe.

Natalie got Ed, tried to make a fist of it, amoizing! (Thanks again Monkseal!) But lost it entirely For ****'s sake, I've won on DWTS Oz. Wait up, Brendan.

Oksana got Ore and lo, they were happy.

Danny got Oti but accidentally broke his arm in the group dance and was promptly called an Arschloch.

As a Kevin fan may I say ... I find myself the 'victim' of irrational hates in everyday life. I don't like others trying to make a pathology of those of us who hate people we ether do not know and/or who have done nothing to us directly. At least dancing.queen is honest in her feelings about Kevin. I might add also that hating someone is a Pyrrhic victory.

Probably on the same level as a glitterball for Christmas special, Comic Relief/ Sport relief and Tour.

Bit like Premier League teams and The League Cup

Could be you are right ..... but I somehow got the impression TPTB have bent quite a bit to secure these two ... these two were after all still competing even at the end of July / mid July as far as I recall....
