Kelly and Brendan vs Gethin and Camilla is my prediction for the final.

Bit harsh i think - who'd have predicted a Mark v Matt final this time last year.

I think he'll be good - he's proved he doesn't embarass easily with his rapping, so hopefully won't have the same issue as Matt.

He's the only one really i'm looking forward to seeing!

As Matt Di Angelo is - to my surprise - the only one I've never heard of, I'm backing him to go a long way.

how can anyone predict anyone for the final!!!

they have not danced a single step yet!!

With respect do you really think someone like Willie Thorne will make it two the final?

with respect reserve judgement until he has danced!!

Betting market has opened.

With Matt's talent and her music background they should be great. Definitely potential winners I think


My first reaction was 'who?'. He doesn't seem a natural to me but neither did Bill and look where Karen got him to.


I think James will find himself with a much tougher partner this year. If James starts any of his nonsense as he did with Georgina I don't see her standing there and taking it.


Huge likability factor could see them do well. Dominic always seems very enthusiastic so I'm sure he'll put his all in no matter what his natural talent.


I can see a very elegant ballroom dancer here potentially but like Carol last year I wonder if she'll struggle to truly let herself go in the latin.


Could be the ladies favourite...


One that I could see going either way. I'm not sure but I have a weird feeling that they won't get on somehow (which will no doubt turn out to be completely untrue now!)


Potential dark horse? He's got rhythm after all.


Probably the most famous person on there but that could work against her (a la Emma Bunton). She's also the least slender of the ladies which may change what Darren does with her - after all he's used to dancing with tiny Lilia. Letitia last I saw her was quite buxom.


I've seriously no idea about these two!


Penny always seems lovely. I think she could be really good at this.


Good chance for Flavia to show us what she can really do this year.


The classiest couple on there! I think they suit quite well and definitely have potential.


On paper a bit of a dud but there again so were a few of Erin's past partners and she's always managed to get the best out of them...

This really does seem like a great and varied line up. Even the ones who might have problems don't seem like complete duds...Is it October 6th yet?

sorry betting markets mean nothing to me!!!!

Stephanie Beacham and Vincent Simone could be great but i do worry about her doing the latin dances.

Jill Halfpenny wasn't exactly petite, and the last time I checked they won I am going to refrain from predicting till I see the first two shows. From last year I remember the group mambo wasn't a great predictor of form . For now I'll just stick to supporting

That's what I thought but then Jill wasn't quite as large up top as some like Mica was. I must put off your balance something awful, especially on those high heels.

I cant see Willie Thorn or Domonick Littlewood lasting that long, No cricketer this year after one winning the last 2 id have thought they would have had one mind you

To me Mica didn't seem particularly co-ordinated, I'm not gonna make much comment till after the first two weeks, as to whether I think people can dance relative to weight

If Vincent goes for routines in keeping with Stephanies age and does not try to be too flash but have great basics they will be ok

What no cricketers!?


I'm in agreement with you, I like the look of both but for some reason personally I like the look of Gabby and James the most I think they could do well.

I really can't see Willie and Erin, lasting long, poor Erin. I'm glad Flavia gets a younger much more able looking partner this year, even though I have no idea who he is. At least hopefully she'll get to dance more than once and not just ballroom.

i'd say
Alesha Dixon and Matthew Cutler
Gabby Logan and James Jordan
Kate Garraway and Anton Du Beke
Letitia Dean and Darren Bennet
Matt Di Angelo and Flavia Cacace

maybe a few other will do quite well

I 100 percent agree with you

Liking Leticia and Darren -lets see Darren work his magic with anoyjer ex eastender!

Also glad to see Anton has not been given the oldest lady - him and Kate might well do okay.

A wild stab at seeing into the future

1. Gethin Jones and Camila Dallerup

2. Alesha Dixon and Matthew Cutler - likeable

3. Kelly Brook and Brendan Cole

4. Brian Capron and Karen Hardy - I have a feeling he might be good bit like that bloke from Seinfeld who was in DWTS I could be horribly wrong

5. Matt Di Angelo and Flavia Cacace

6. Gabby Logan and James Jordan

7. Kenny Logan and Ola Jordan

8. John Barnes and Nicole Cutler

9. Dominic Littlewood and Lilia Kopylova

10. Letitia Dean and Darren Bennet

11. Penny Lancaster and Ian Waite

12. Stephanie Beacham and Vincent Simone

13. Willie Thorne and Erin Boag

14. Kate Garraway and Anton Du Beke

My prediction for the top 5-

Gethin and Camilla
Matt and Flavia
Alesha and Matthew
Kelly and Brendan
Gabby and James

I am loving the prospect of Kate and Anton - I know she has her critics on this forum but I really like Kate - also Karen and Brian

I think we might have a female winner this year

Like, erm, jive?!

I'm slightly worried about which female celeb is going to get voted out in week 2. If you remember, Ian and Mica Paris got voted out week 2 last year and I really don't know who might not appeal to the public and therefore get voted out first this year.

Well, if you are bad, then be really bad and be slated by the judges. Then you'll be at the bottom of the leaderboard and an almost guarantee that the public will vote you in (unless you are an acid-tongue celeb).

Don't be the second bottom from the leaderboard. That's what happened to Mica last year.
