Hiya guys,
Hasn't the first few episodes of Strictly been amazing and shocking, in terms of talent and the results (book Tameka leaving). I don't remember a year where so many of the contestants are this talented so early because even Ed Balls isn't as bad as people like John Sargeant or Greg Wallace.
Before I start, special shoutout to Judge Rinder who literally entertains me every week and Claudia who proves that us short people can do whatever we want. So, what does a new series of SCD call for... oh yeah a list of my favourite's who I think have a proper shot of winning the glitterball this year. I am sorry for the size of the list, they're all too good to just pick a few!
LETS GOOOO...
1. Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse
I loved Danny in Hollyoaks so I was mega excited when it came up that he was coming on the show and by God he did not disappoint me. I was also thrilled when he was paired with Oti who is absolutely magnificent but couldn't show her talent last year so these two together are a power team! I know there is a lot of controversy considering he went to a stage school but he did not focus on dance so it can't be used against him! However, he is absolutely amazing and I can't believe his talent in both the latin and ballroom dances - I mean did you see that arm shaping in the Paso! These guys maybe are my absolute favourite in terms of talent, pairing and partnership. I am excited to see what is to come... especially in the jive which is my favourite dance.

2. Greg Rutherford and Natalie Lowe
This was the surprise of the series and, even though I love Greg anyway, I am so happy that he is actually good and not just a bit of a joke. Also, like Oti, I am so glad that Natalie has someone good and with a lot of charisma because I haven't seen Nat able to show of her skills since Scott Maslen *do you remember THAT jive?* I don't know whether his latin will be technically perfect but I know he'll put in his all and he'll put on a show! But I want to note that as soon as Greg was announced, I called that Natalie was going to be his partner so woohoo me.

3. Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton
I just want to say... WELCOME BACK TO THE MAIN SHOW JOANNE! I think having Ore as a partner has been a great way to bring her back to being a pro and competing because he is just a ray of sunshine! He brings such charisma and sophistication to all of his dances and I can't believe that this is the same guy I used to watch on CBBC all those years ago because I now feel like I'm watching a dancer not presenter. He can do ballroom and he can do latin, what else could I want? Ore's ability to execute dance moves with his own twist put together with Joanne's beautiful choreography really makes for an amazing watch!

4. Will Young and Karen Clifton
Another Clifton on the cards and I feel like this family do nothing but make Strictly amazing! I have been a fan of Will Young since the Pop Idol days but never did I think that he would be as amazing as he is. Although he may not be up to the same standard technically as Danny, his performance skill and genuine dancing ability makes me smile literally every week. He gets into his character whether it's a Bollywood boy or rocker and puts his all into it which just makes it easy to watch. I don't feel like I'm watching Strictly when Will's on, it literally feels like I'm watching a West End Show. I think he is going to go so far and his skills are improving all the time.

So here are my favourites but not forgetting some of my favourite pro's Brendan Cole and Kevin Clifton! This year is exceptional so I can't wait to see what the rest of the series brings.
Who are your favourites or do you know who you want to win?
That's all for now my dears,
See you soon
