In hindsight would you have changed any of the partnerships?

Do you think the Strictly producers got it right with all the partnerships? Would you have changed any now that the season is almost over and we got to see them all play out?

The partnerships were:

Melvin and Janette
Tameka and Gorka
Anastasia and Brendan
Leslie and Anton
Pasha and Naga
Laura and Giovanni
Daisy and Alijaz
Greg and Natalie
Will and Karen
Ed and Katya
Rinder and Oksana
Claudia and AJ
Ore and Joanne
Louise and Kevin
Danny and Oti

I liked many of the pairings this year, particularly Claudia & AJ, Danny & Oti, Judge & Oksana and Greg and Natalie.

I felt that Laura and Giovanni were wrongly paired up. This was clearly based on them being two singletons but the whole situation seemed to make them both uncomfortable. It seems a shame as I think that affected their dancing. We may have seen more of/from Laura if she had been paired with another pro, like Gorka/Kevin.

I would also like to have seen Lesley paired with Kevin, I think they would have been better matched in terms of height and given what a good dancer she turned out to be I think they could have produced some good dances. That being said, I did enjoy her partnership with Anton.

I would have left Anton out of this year's line up and partnered Lesley with Neil. I'd also have given Anastacia to Gorka, Tameka to Giovanni and Laura to Brendan.

Ooh I quite like your thinking there! I would have liked to see this.

Having said that, I think it was a pretty good year for partnerships overall. Only really Laura and Giovanni who were a bad pairing.

I think the majority of partnerships worked really well this season. I really liked Greg and Natalie, Ed and Katya and Claudia and AJ in particular.

Like most, I would have put Laura with Brendan and Anastasia with Giovanni. I think the Laura/Giovanni pairing was to attract headlines and it seemed to make Laura feel uncomfortable.
