I want Nadiya to have a proper contender this year, either a ringer or a Stacey/Rose male equivalent. She's had some bad luck with partners but always been professional and done her best to give them a good experience (unlike Gio). I don't think she's ever made a final has she?
Angela Scanlon seems like she could have the qualities of a female winner- girl next door vibe, good but not too good etc. So I don't want her within a million feet of Gio. He's due a duffer imo, a real duffer, not someone like Richie who could have been ok with a decent partner
