The Laila Rouass & Anton Du Beke Appreciation Thread! - Appreciation

Jake2008 · 25-08-2009, 12:13

My favourite pairing of 2009, hope they do well

See · 25-08-2009, 12:17

Great to see Anton with a decent partner, maybe this will be his year to dance in December

brumilad · 25-08-2009, 12:34

I hope she's good.

It's really refreshing to have a woman with a bit of 'Eastern Promise', you just know Bruno is gonna go mad.

Hopefully they'll incorporate her roots into some of her performance (just not too much in a gimmicky way mind)

Miss Poppy · 25-08-2009, 12:38

Yes, I agree. I'm all for having an age-range in Strictly, but if feels as if Anton has got the older partners too often for it to be fair.

Hope they do well (though I'm planning on supporting Joe and Kristina... Welsh connection!)

EmilyIRE · 25-08-2009, 13:26

Good to see Anton with a younger partner, this pairing could be very entertaining.

Taz93 · 25-08-2009, 13:28

Nice to see Anton with a younger partner for a change! It seems usually Brendan and Anton would have the opposite partners eg Brendan and Laila and Anton and Jo.

Danslink · 25-08-2009, 13:34

Hopefully Anton will make it through the halfway stage this time!!

25-08-2009, 13:49

I will be cheering Anton on again this year!!!!

25-08-2009, 13:55

There's so many teams I feel like lending my support to this year, and this pair is one of them.

I've always enjoyed Anton and this year it looks like he has a serious shot at winning with a fit, young, stunner.

Good luck to him an Laila

katkim · 25-08-2009, 14:42

Laila is so beautiful! Can't wait to see what Anton's reaction when they met for the first time

Echoing other, I'm glad he's got a decent partner (on paper at least!), which makes a change. It would be nice to Anton get further into the comp, even if that means less Anton and his insightful commentary on ITT.

and is that not in the Middle East?! I believe that's what is meant by 'Eastern Promise'

Which is part of the Middle East.

She's Morrocan/Indian.

I'm sooo excited that Laila Rouass is part of the Strictly Lineup. I just can't wait!!!

I have to say Anton is not my ideal partner for her, i would have perferred Brian Fortuna, as i think they would have been better suited.

Now i just really hope Anton ups his game this year in terms of choreography etc. because i think he may have a good chance of winning, or at least coming close!

LnMidna · 25-08-2009, 15:11

She's beautiful, and it's about time Anton got someone who looks like she's going to be good.

smileycat · 25-08-2009, 17:08

I absolutely adore Laila! I am thrilled for Anton this year.

La Triviata · 25-08-2009, 17:55

She's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful woman, but to be honest I'd prefer her to be dancing with someone else. There again, Anton may respond to having a promising partner by taking more of an interest in the Latin this year.

Paace · 25-08-2009, 18:08

She is a stunner. Hope they do well. Could be Antons last chance at winning.

ravensborough · 25-08-2009, 18:23

I'm so happy Anton hasn't been lumbered with the hopeless older lady! I hope he goes far this year!

bingoman · 25-08-2009, 20:27

So Anton finally has a younger woman this year

lemonnlime09 · 25-08-2009, 20:46

Love Anton and love Laila,so glad he has a chance this year....my fave couple and hope they go all the way!.
