Whilst in the shower I got to pondering how different this years show could have been had some of the partnerships been different. So just for a bit of fun amongst all this animosity and bile, if you had been in charge are there any partnerships you would have changed?

Here's mine:

Jessie & Anton - I think they'd have had great chemistry and been hilarious together
Gillian & Darren - Just by default really and it's been a while since he's had an 'older' lady
Tom & Lilia - i don't know why but I feel he would have been less annoying with her and she would have been able to beat the stupid expressions out of him.
Don & Camilla - mainly because she needs a bit more of a challenge and always get's the young good looking ones.
Christine & Brian - Just because I think they'd look hot together on the dancefloor and to see if she'd have gotten as far without the 'Matthew Effect'
Heather & Matthew - Would he have been able to do any more than Brian did with her?

Your opinions please...

Lisa & Matthew Brendan isn't the bad boy of ballroom but I just wonder if the viewers preconceived idea of Brendan is putting people off Lisa. Just a thought, but I think the two (L&M) would have complemented each other well.

Christine and Brian Same reason as you uptowngirl.

Cherie and Vincent For some reason I think this partnership would have been heaven.

Darren and Rachel I thought that these two would complement each other.

Christine would always have done well no matter who she'd been paired with because she's automatically got the northern irish vote sewn up. I agree with you about Heather and Matthew though, that might have been interesting

Camilla and Mark perhaps? Or Erin and Mark? I can't help wondering if Mark would have done better with a different partner?

Kristina was definitely the right partner for John although Lilia has probably got the professionalism to have made it work too. Thank god they didn't put him with mardy little Ola, that would have been painful to watch.

I think Cherie would have done better with Anton or Vincent as suggested by others.

Kristina with Tom - I would love to see her with a decent partner
James Jordan with Christine - would he still be shouting for the voting to go on the dancing
Anton with Cherie - would result in sublime ballroom but the Latin would be

Can you imagine all the schmoozing?

I though Darren and Rachel would have made a good pair too.

Doubtful. Bless him, a very sweet guy but dancing was not his forte.

That is why I think it'd be heaven! She'd have made it further I think.

But Darren and Rachel would have been great and I think Rachel would have let go a lot before the AS week.

I'm loving all your ideas! Anton & Cherie doing the Rumba!! Or Vincent pawing at Cherie like he does with Rachel would have been hilarious! Can't imagine she'd have put up with it for one minute!

if it weren't for the height problem, Vincent & Lisa, as I really like her and I think they'd have had fun.

She'd be lifting him.

Ok, these are the couples I'd have gone for (height permitting):

Anton and Cherie
Brendan and Jessie
Brian and Christine
Darren and Heather
James and Gillian
Ian and Jodie
Matthew and Lisa
Vincent and Rachel

Andrew and Karen
Austin and Flavia
Don and Ola
Gary and Hayley
John and Kristina
Mark and Camilla
Phil and Erin
Tom and Lilia

Anton and Cherie
Brendan and Jessie ( )
Brian and Christine
Vincent and Lisa
Austin and Flavia
Tom and Lilia

I think these should have been paired although it would have been very unfair for Erin and overly fair for Lillia.

I dont think Matt should have taken part, I dont know why but I dnt feel his heart is in it this year after Aleasha.

James Jordan should have just been banned on grounds of bad manners.

Lisa and Matthew. I think her personality would have gone really well with him and hes taller then Brendan so that would have helped.
I also would have anton and Cherie together. I think they would have done some amazing ballroom dances together.

I think Lilia could have worked rather well with Austin (although I love him with Erin)

Erin would have worked with Tom - toned down the rampant face pulling instead of encouraging it

Camilla with Andrew C - much better height ratio

Lisa with Matthew - she's too tall for Brendan, and Brendan with Christine, better physical match

I've always wished that Lisa was partnered with Matthew because I don't think Brendan is tall enough or long enough limbed for her. However, it's turned out well because Christine's such a lovely person & she's much better partnered with Matt than Brendan.

I'm glad someone else thinks that about Lisa & Brendan. It annoys me every week...
