I would really love for Darren and Emma to win, and Lilia and Matt to come second

Karen all the way!!! I cant wait to see all the new ideas and fun ways she'll interpret the music, its gonna be fab

Although I love Darren, Lilia and well.........all the pros, karen does have some funny routines -the cha cha was fab!

we can't forget the ever hilarious Anton either! Karen still has to win tho....

Antons latin routines are always hysterical! Dont know if thats on purpose though!

If you could win on comic value alone, Anton would walk it. I get very excited when he is about to do a Latin routine, you never know what is gonna happen! It is the bad, the good and the ugly! Great entertainment.

Couldn't have put it better myself TeresaAL. Anton's latin routines are certainly different.

And don't forget the trousers!! Why wear black ones when you can get the costume dept to make a pair of bright pink ones to match your partner?

It was hysterical.

He said on the ITT footage of backstage that week that they could power a small Yorkshire village.

So looking forward to seeing all our ace pros again.

Having seen Mark Ramprakash play cricket on a number of occassions I'd place money on him being a pretty good dancer so him and Karen would be my dark horses to do well - Karen's got a very big fan base with the viewers now. Mark isn't particularly well known outside the sporting world, but he's very easy on the eye and very charming as well

Obviously I'll be rooting for my beloved Ian and Mica as well

My dream final would be those couples and karen and mark (I do love ian, but he's made the final twice in a row, so for me karen deserves to make it over them)

I simply cannot wait!
This time I am definitely taping the episodes - funnily enough I dont get bored watching SCD repeatedly.........hmm

I have a DVD with all the showdances from series 3, all of darren and jills and all of lilia and aleds dances form scd2 (someone on the d&l forum made it and kindly posted it to everyone) - I watch it regularly!

I've got all but the first series on video.

I only recorded the final of that, plus a couple others when I was out. I was so happy when Natasha and Brendan won, but gutted that I had so few eps, so I've recorded it ever since...

I'm happy to say that my favourite couple has won every series so far!!!

I haven't decided who I like from just the names, I'm gonna need to see them dance together first...

I don't suppose anyone has the first series

I was just about to beg for the second and third series, as i only have last years final.

So if anyone has a spare copy of anything SCD related, please take pity on a poor lost soul who is anticipating the return

Ian and Mica to win. If I get my own way!

Scouse xx

P.S.: I love Brendan to pieces, but I'd REALLY love to see Ian win!

CLAIRE AND BRENDAN FOR ME!! I have put my bet on

No one until I've seen them dance.

I'm hoping spoony and his partner will do well , but then i love ian and mica or Darren and Emma i cant decide cant they all win!!! LOL

I dont have a DVD recorder but I will check if anyone I know has and if so I will send you a copy of the DVD I mentioned!
Alrighty?

I couldn't care about the celebs lol!!! But I don't want Nicholas, Peter or Carol to leave early!! Cos I lov Nicole/Erin/Matt too much!!!

Hi CAT123 nice to see you on the forum again. I think I would like to see Anton, Matthew, Karen and Nicole to do well this year.

I think we have a good line up of celebs this series really looking forward to it. I dont mind who reaches the final with Emma and Matt, as I love Darren and Lilia I would so love a Darren and Lilia final so cool.

This is how things stand with one of the bookies at the moment before they have even danced

Of course things may change a lot after 7th October

No surprise that Emma is favourite at the moment

I personally would like to see Brendan and Claire do well

Interesting...............I think Emma may well be a wee bit clumsy although I would like to see her do well!
Cant understand Peter and Erin in last place though?????

My money's on no one until I see them dance.
