Bottom 3 would likely be the following - Kai & Nadiya with one of the nice ballrooms, Michelle & Cameron doing whatever styles the youth does these days (with poor Cameron out of sync) and Neil & Dianne can do street/hip hop.
Gio & Lauren and Gorka & Karen would probably pair together since they already dance with each other on tours. Nikita & Carlos were fire! If Nikita danced with a female pro in this though, I'd say Katya since they are the two most batsh*t pros of the lineup.
Nikita and Katya, what a pairing, both have that watchability. As we have all said before Katya is so innovative, Jowita is catching her up though with her lifts. I am amazed that Katya doesn't have her own theatre show on the road by now. I know it may not be to everyone's taste but her and Gio would have a major following and would sell tickets if they had a show together.
Surprised that Kai and Nadiya have their own show lined up, with both going out so early this year they have hardly been at the forefront to drum up ticket sales. More time on their hands to pull the dances together though. After a great first year we have not seen much of Kai, his choreography was so good last year. As for Nadiya I see nothing but a grinning, posturing 'look at me' dancer, who gives nothing in addition to her dancing, am still looking for some personality which all the other dancers give in abundance, on their social media too. Lauren and her wonderful brummie accent must have a partner next year. All the newbies have been brilliant, Vito and Carlos, what a first year giving it large with their personalities and so much fun. Pros have to be more in the forefront, gone are the days when they say nothing and just teach.
