I like the Jordan / Logan married pairings ~ interesting!

I am loving the originality of the BBC by having "Brian" and Karen.

Suprised Nicole didn't get Matt, so we could have had "Matt" and Nicole, like we had "Darren" and Lilia.

Liking most of the pairings, very glad Camilla has Gethin, although not sure about Nicole's

think John Barnes a better partner than either Dom or Willie Thorn

I'm hoping so, she deserves it this time!

He should be pretty fit, and I can imagine him being a bit like Martin Offiah.

Glad to see the pairings have been quite equally done this year.

I did think that Anton would probably get Stephanie Beacham so glad to see they've broken the mold a bit there.

Matt and Alesha could certainly be a couple worth watching out for.

And I can't see Gabby Logan taking any of James' cr*p the way Georgina did last year!

Besides, Big Kenny might get annoyed - and that's NOT a pretty sight if you're on the receiving end ...... but it's pretty damn hot if you like that sort of thing

? Will there be a Chris Parker in there somewhere ?

? Will the Logans and Jordans fight on and off the dance floor (you know, cat fights from Gabby because of Ola) ?

? Who will be the journeyman this year ?

? Will it be an all-out male celebs finals again this year ?

? Who is going to be this year Zoe/Emma (i.e. teachers' pet) and thus slated and booted out before the final or not winning the final because of that ?

? Will there be any Jan 'I-Hope-You-Are-Happy' Raven type(s) in there somewhere ?

This should be exciting!

Some good pairings there - all the old dancers as well - no new faces! This is very exciting! Some big names too! Not sure who to bet on yet...

Very glad to see Matt Cutler back too, and he's got quite a competent dancer in Alesha.

oooh, and very interested to see the Kelly - Brendan pairing! Nice nice nice

Hasn't Gabby been keen to get on this show for some time? Maybe she'll put in loads of effort and James won't need to give her any cr*p.

Maybe she'll be like Jan I-hope-you-are-happy Ravens, trying TOO hard...

I think that might Leitia Dean this year ^^

Well Arlene will be happy because Camilla knows exactly how to show Gethin Jones off to his full potential .

Think Stephanie Beacham is lovely, am really looking forward to seeing her dance, as well as Alesha Dixon and Matt Cutler.

Yes, I should add:

? Who is Arlene going to swoon over, holding the torch high this year for ?

Ooh yes, that would be hideous .

Penny Lancaster and Ian Waite - sorry Ian fans but that strikes me as a personality free zone.

probably anyone that shows her "raw sex".

Hideous (or heinous) would be someone dancing like Carol I-Am-So-Sexy Voderman rumba!

That one does seem a bit vacant. I'd love to know what they 'list' her 'occupation' as.

Rock Star wife? Photographer?

I've seen Penny on tv interviews. She seems quite nice. I can imagine her having a good time with the dancing which for is what it is all about.

I think it's listed as model-cum-photographer? Hmm.

Well anything Rachel Hunter can do........

Do you mind? I'm still trying to repress that memory....

Model

As I remember she lost her modeling contract to Rod's ex-wife!

I tried but failed. So I decided to embrace it!

*shudders*

LOL! Rod's exes do seem rather competitive, don't they?
