Strictly is well and truly underway and I feel like that starts an actual routine in my life based on the Strictly TV schedule. Monday to Thursday is It Takes Two at 6:30, Friday is It Takes Two at 6:00, Saturday is the main show and Sunday is the results show. My week is filled from Strictly from start to finish! So we're three weeks in and I think it's time to write about my favourite couples and who I think are front runners:
1. Jonnie Peacock and Oti Mabuse
I have always been a sucker for Jonnie from the 2012 Olympics and I have a slight obsession with Oti! So, I was thrilled at how surprisingly good Jonnie has been for an athlete, we might even have another Greg Rutherford on our hands? Oti always gives her partners great choreography and I think that Jonnie has perfectly adapted to her teaching style and is basking in her strict tactics. They work perfectly together and have pretty similar competitive ethics which makes for a perfect partnership. After his week 2 jive (which I can't stop watching), I can't wait to see what else Jo-ti (is that a thing?) has up their sleeves! I want to see Jonnie come out of his shell even more and let that bright personality shine!
2. Alexandra Burke and Gorka Marquez
I loved Alexandra Burke on X Factor and it seems like, after the initial success, she's been floundering in the public eye. Well after Strictly, there won't be a person who isn't talking about her in some way. She has really made one of the most explosive debuts on Strictly Come Dancing and I can actually see her going the whole way to the final. Her first two dances were such spectacles that I almost forgot that I was watching a complete novice dance. Gorka is another one of my favourite pro's (who went out too early last year) so I can't wait to see even more of his beautiful choreography because he perfectly works to Alexandra's strengths. They also have one of the cutest partnerships and I can't blame them, Alexandra is one lucky girl! I only hope that they haven't peaked to soon!

3. Debbeh McGee and Giovanni Pernice
I didn't really know what to expect with Debbeh (sorry I just love how Gio says her name) and I was pleasantly surprised. Debbie McGee is the personification of style and grace and it comes out perfectly when she dances. I'm yet to see her perform a latin dance, which could be her weakness, but so far she's come out as a powerful and strong woman as well as an elegant English rose! Is there anything Debbie can't do? It seems as if she's taken to dancing like a duck on water and adapted perfectly to Giovanni and his teaching methods. There seems to be such a mutual respect between the two of them and that makes for some great acting within the dances... could Debbie be our first *over a certain age* winner?
So, what do you think of my choices? Is there anyone I missed or do you have the same ideas of me for your favourites? Leave a comment below and follow all of my SCD based social media:

Let's see if I can get anything right this year!
That's all for now my dears,
