SPOILERS!!! Top 20 Rumored Pairings
So rumors have been running rampant with who was going to be paired up with whom… looking at twitter right now there is at least one confirmation:
Just finished rehearsal on stage w Whitney and Chehon for their Samba wed night 8/7 central on #SYTYCD …yip, I'm very excited!

So Witney and Chehon are paired together, not only that but they are doing the Samba as choreographed by Louis van Amstel.
This brings us to another interesting possibility: there has been a lot of talk over at the idolForums of possible pairings. In fact it went so far as to say that according to a series of DancePlug interview videos the couples would appear to be have been paired up.
NOTE: Keep in mind that this is all pure speculation, whether or not this is true remains to be seen.
First the blatantly obvious: Chehon Wespi-Tschopp (Ballet) & Witney Carson (Latin/Ballroom)
George Lawrence II (Contemporary) & Tiffany Maher (Jazz)
Nick Bloxsom-Carter (Latin/Ballroom) & Amber Jackson (Contemporary)
Cole Horibe (Martial Arts) & Lindsay Arnold (Latin/Ballroom)
Dareian Kujawa (Contemporary) & Janelle Issis (Belly dance)
Brandon Mitchell (Stepper) & Janaya French (Contemporary)
Cyrus “Glitch” Spencer (Animator) & Eliana Girard (Ballet)
Matthew Kazmierczak (Contemporary) & Audrey Case (Jazz)
Will Thomas (Contemporary) & Amelia Lowe (Contemporary)
Daniel Baker (Ballet) & Alexa Anderson (Contemporary)
Hi Marianya! I’ve never followed an entire season of sytycd, but as DwtS is on a hiatus right now, I’m trying this time… hehehe
Loved the ballroom girls (that already have appeared on the DwtS Ballroom Battle segment). Think they are well paired. the ballroom guy I’m not very impressed, cause the level is very high, but let’s see what happens…
thanks for your job =]
Very interesting, Marianya. I think the pairing that jumps out me immediately is Cyrus & Eliana – one of the least formally trained dancers paired with arguably the most formally trained dancer this season. My knee jerk reaction is that they’re trying to give Cyrus a fighting chance by pairing him with someone that is strong enough to keep them both in the competition, but on the other hand I get the feeling they’re trying to recapture the magic of Twitchington – a popular hip-hopper and an attractive contemporary/ballet girl. Will be interesting to see how it pans out!
Happy to see my favorite this season, Cole, paired with one of the ballroom girls. If memory serves, Cole has actually done some ballroom in the past – I vaguely remember seeing him at a competition once, so I’m fulling expecting these to KILL any ballroom routines they’re given. Janelle & Darien could be interesting to watch as well – the belly dancer and the contemporary guy with crummy feet that still looks awesome dancing. I think Amelia & Will could be in trouble – he seems like the weakest of the contemporary boys, and she seems to be someone that Nigel really runs hot & cold on. Daniel & Alexa? Zzzzzz. Two dancers I just can’t seem to get excited about…and they’re dancing together.
@Courtney, I really agree with you about the tWitch/Kherington and Eliana/Cyrus thing. Another point I want to add about Eliana and Cyrus is that it immediately jumped out at me how much screentime these two got in Vegas, and how popular they have gotten. They’ve paired arguably the two most popular dancers going into the competition, and then with a pairing like Janaya and Brandon, it seems really unfair.
