He’s definitely going to get a duffer to end all duffers isn’t he?

No, I think they'll give him a good one to go out on, unfortunately. Provided nothing more comes of the Amanda stuff.

Vito will be wrangling Su (iconic week 1 jive to the Hi-De-Hi theme) while Nikita escorts Colleen Nolan around the ballroom. Both pros are shirtless at all times in a desperate attempt to extract votes.

Meanwhile FR breezes in with Cheryl Cole and they top the leaderboard until they start shagging and things fall apart when she wears Rose's Couples Choice dress for a waltz and the Beryls give her pelters.

Sadly I agree that Fanny Rat with go out with a ringer and will probably win due to all the Beryls voting for him after the awful experience the poor lamb had with that nasty woman.

I don't think the Gio fanbase is enough to sway a win. If they did give him a ringer, it would probably be someone like Ashley Roberts or Natalie Gumede who is more or less unvotable for most viewers.

Either way - I'll be a very happy camper when he's gone!

I think Lady Lav would do it single handed. She’ll remortgage her house to afford all the votes and have a gang with multiple phones poised ready for action.
 
Literally drowning in Vita.

I'm quite warming to this imaginary partnership: a VT where Vito has to watch episodes of Hi-De-Hi and pretend to understand 'this classic British humour of which I have heard'. An ITT where they get a video message from Ruth Madoc to great excitement and bafflement.
*oh I've just looked and she died two years ago. Oh well.

I can see FR, Graz and Lauren (hopefully) getting good partners, as well as Nancy (I don't mind either way about her) and maybe Kai. And while we're on people deserving duffers, surely Dianne MUST get one? after Tyler and Bobby. Give her someone tit AND unlikeable so even the Joannies can't her past week 4...

I reckon he'll get a ringer, but they'll be sure to give him someone with a 'strong' personality so not to have a repeat of the amanda situation. Speaking of who'll get who, I know people think Karen or Gio will leave but I'm worried about Johannes. I know he hasn't won yet but he has such big things lined up and especially with the news of his book being made into a film, and him being a producer, I worry he could leave :(

I'm just hoping that Kai & Lauren get really good ones and Katya & Nikita don't get duffers (not expecting either to get ringers). And that we don't have to tolerate Dianne & Gio for long.

I hope Nancy doesn't get another good partner - she did get Les but she's been pretty lucky overall and did little with Rhys & Will, she's really not proven herself to be a particularly good teacher yet. Then the likes of Graz/Luba/Nadiya fade into the woodwork for me.

If no one leaves, I think
benched: Neil, Michelle, Amy, and Nadiya/Graz (depending on how many male/female pros needed)
duffers: vito, dianne, carlos, nikita :(, and either graz or nadiya (whichever isn't benched)
middlers: nancy, johannes, katya, karen, gorka
ringers: kai, lauren, giovanni, jowita, luba
hoping to see kai, katya and luba do well!
 
If nobody leaves, I could see them bringing in another new male in Cameron's old spot, I think they didn't bother last year because Amy wasn't taking part anyway so stuck with 18. They usually like even numbers.
 
Now I want everyone to be partnered with stars from old skool British sitcoms. Sadly I think most of them are no longer with us. Could you imagine Dianne trying to get Jacko from Brush strokes to sprint across the dance floor or Fanny Rat pussy cat diving with Mrs Slocombe from Are you being served?

My controversial opinion is that I'd rather see Gorka benched than Graz (and I like Gorka!). I know Graz's choreo isn't as strong as others, but he showed with Kym he can do well with a good dancer, and is a lovely partner. Gorka is good but always feels a bit more clinical.

I imagine due to budgeting they're more likely to cut one of the female pros, most likely Michelle (though she is doing the pro tour so who knows) it does seem a bit excessive (to me) to have 19 pros for only 15 celebs. Then again if Amy's not back to full fitness they'll probably keep Michelle

Honestly I love Graz too it's just that he's been benched more recently than Gorka. I could see Graz leaving and joining the italian version tbh as I imagine its difficult for him to be away from his gorgeous wife for so long...
