chaptazbru2 - "It's true Aliona didn't like him. I read an interview he gave on Sunday and there was definitely NO love lost between them. Think she would have preferred a younger partner! However, that said, it wasn't very professional of her really."
I think Aliona's issue is less with Gregg, or any individual partner, than the fact that the last three series, she has been paired with an older partner who obviously lacks even basic skill, resulting in her early exit with them.
I guess that is fair enough - someone has to have the token no-hoper, and someone has to have the flat-foots, but she feels that she is singled out each time, when she is clearly skilled enough to win with the partner with enough stamina and basic ability to be trainable.
