Now we are Tristan-less, I will settle for Ore and Danny! As I said, not bothered about the lack of Gleb.

Gleb is, to me, very beautiful but I can see him being perceived as a bit full of himself; perhaps that is putting some people off?

Aljaz is lovely but, purely from the point of view of his looks, he slightly puts me in mind of Frankenstein's monster - sorry. [Runs and ducks for cover]

I would put Pasha more in the 'adorable' category than the 'hot' one but he does have his moments...

I want Tristan back! (Nearly typed that as 'I want Tristan bad!', which also works )

Gorka has potential. I'm not sure he's quite my type but he could easily win me over if the dancing and personality come across well. Otherwise I will stoically make do with Ore

Danny's doing nothing at all for me at the moment but you never know - I can be very fickle

BIB I agree& I add Oksana in there, Again as a straight guy id say Judge rinder for the men on best looking

Don't find Aliaz remotely attractive ( it's the chin I think ) Pasha for me

I've thought the same. A beautiful monster. He has a good sense of humour and a twinkle in his eye that compensates. I find Pasha a bit wet.

I find Danny Mac bland as bland can be.

Forgot Kevin....in his specs.......I like the nerdy type

I've been looking more at Gorka and he does have very nice eyes actually.

I think they deliberately have a variety, because we don't all go for the same type of guy!

For me, Kevin and Craig are the hotties on the Strictly team!

In terms of the contestants, Ed is the one I find most attractive, but Greg is also cute, and Ore is swiftly growing on me. I might wind up fancying Judge/Robert Rinder as well because I do rather like his bitchy put-downs. It will depend on how well he walks the line between funny and cruel.

So yes, for this woman, not a bad year all in.

Agree with some of your views. I think Gorka is mighty fine, however, I love Pasha! Re contestants, Danny does nothing for me and Ore is gorgeous but the subject of my adoration this year is Ginger Nuts, aka, Greg Rutherford, ahem.

Who are our Strictly girl crushes? Mine was always Flavia. Absolutely stunning woman, I think Oti is gorgeous as well. Never got the Ola love, always thought she was too Barbie doll like.

You can't see his eyes here but I give you Gorka - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpGt1noRLuE

Iveta and now Katya. Can you imagine Iveta with Robert Rinder?

This is a dream partnership that HAS to happen in some parallel universe! I can just picture what they would be together!

Love this thread Trent, Gleb and Tristan were my favourites.

Now Aljaz, Gorka and I do have a soft spot for Brendan

When I opened this link I saw another video on the sidebar for Gorka's Paso Doble; watch that one and you'll see a familiar face competing alongside Gorka and his partner

Giovanni and Gorka for me.

And Pasha and Aljaz but only sometimes. And Kevin solely when he wears his glasses.

I can see why Aljaz is most people's favourite, but whilst I think he's adorable, he doesn't really do it for me most of the time (and I can see the Frankenstein's monster thing!)

Never got the Tristan and Trent love. And Gleb is a truly beautiful man but left me cold

Oti is my "I don't swing that way but if I did" choice.

It was Lilia and Camilla when they were on the show, now Joanne and Natalie (and I love that they're such good friends).

I spent his entire time with Abbey not getting what Claudia saw, but after seeing how darn nice he was with Alison it made me see him in a different light. Personality really does matter- hence why I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Danny. Without it he'll sink into bland forgettability.
Gleb- nothing.
Girl crush- Karen Clifton.

Yeah, and the first boot of the female pro's.

Yep to the JC Chasez similarity, and Danny Mac is a handsome man, but there's something about the proportions that are off--short legs?--combined with an overall blandness.

Aljaz is great looking and seems lovely, but he's a bit dull and lacks sex appeal. Definitely the "marry" in a game of f*** , marry, kill.

AJ is very handsome, but I guess everyone sees him as a 12-year old and thus no mentions here.

My teen daughter has a crush on AJ

He's a good looking lad.

To me, he has a very beautiful face. I just don't find him remotely sexy.

My man crushes have always been Gleb and Aljaz - Gleb is effortlessly handsome and Aljaz just has the personality to go with it. I liked Pasha at the start as well but he's toned down his goofiness!

All of my favourite Strictly women have gone but I like Karen and Natalie. I'll never understand people who thought Aliona was good looking, she always had a sulk on!

My girlfriend has settled for Gorka, Aljaz and Danny Mac. She thinks AJ looks too much like a waxwork!

well AJ does look about 12. I mean when I saw him I would think that no one would say theres 3 weeks between me and him (with me being older idve said he's like half my age) which would be 11 so on appearance seems about right. Lets hope it doesn't mean he looks out of place when standing next to the other pros as I think it may and it may not 50/50
