Melvin would have had a 'cute, little' pairing vote bump, had there not been Claudia in the competition - Claudia and AJ are super-cute, tiny things, that will also probably be pretty impressive from the first step! Melvin and Daisy, IMO, are the two couples (with perhaps Naga, although others have persuaded me that she's pretty popular) that will struggle for votes in the early weeks. Daisy for lack of personality, Melvin for lack of fans and just not having a USP.
Ed Balls will be the comedy contestant, who's a real tryer - and the public loves that, at least in the early weeks. Combine that with a predictable lashing from Craig about their first dance, and I suspect Ed will sail through for the first week, purely on the basis of being at the bottom of the table. I'm predicting he won't even be in the dance off in the first elimination, and we'll lose Daisy or Melvin, depending on which one can sell their dance better. If Daisy gets a ballroom, I suspect the long, elegant lines, with her and Aljaz' heights, will save her over Melvin. If she has a latin dance, I'd suspect it may be the other way round.
