I'm hoping for Boris. It would be nice to see to "old guys" fighting it out for the WC. The series so far leaves much to be desired in format. See:

Considering how badly Gelfand played, showing a lot of nerves, opposed to Grischuk's ice cold play; I think the latter has to be preferred

Grischuk's definitely a good blitz player, but can he win a classical match at this level? We don't really know.

That is indeed the question. But, the format does still favor speed play. 

When he plays Anand will he offer early draws in all six of his white games?

He can't afford to keep up this quick drawing with white; Anand's sure to get him at least once.

Grischuk never beat Anand in classical time controls, Gelfand did so 6 times. In a longer match Grischuk's strategy of drawing all his games, even (miraculously) in inferior positions, and then winning the tiebreak won't be effective. Anand has shown fantastic preparation in his WC matches against Kramnik and Topalov and I don't think Grischuk will come close to standing up to that. Gelfand won't be the next world champion either but a match with Anand would at least be interesting so I'm routing for him.

While it's true that Grischuk hasn't beaten Anand once in a classical game, one should keep in mind that Anand has only beaten Grischuk twice.

Some statistics:
Classical games: Viswanathan Anand beat Alexander Grischuk 2 to 0, with 7 draws.
Including rapid/exhibition games: Viswanathan Anand beat Alexander Grischuk 8 to 5, with 14 draws.

Classical games: Viswanathan Anand beat Boris Gelfand 9 to 6, with 27 draws.
Including rapid/exhibition games: Viswanathan Anand beat Boris Gelfand 16 to 7, with 43 draws.

I really hope Anand takes this home, not because I'm a great fan of his (I do like him though) but mainly due to the fact that neither of these two deserves to be the WC, it would only show how hollow and lousy the organisation of the chess WC is.

Grischuk took Carlsen's place. Why not Grischuk as next WC? 

Mainly because he hasn't proven that he deserves a WC match.

He's only won games in blitz/rapid.

He didn't qualify.

He only got the chance cause the better play deemed the whole cycle to be a joke.

He's "only" the 12 highest ranked player.

Realistically it should be about exposure and money as well as quality and that makes a Anand-Carlsen WC match almost a no-brainer.    Maybe just giving it to Carlsen though would rankle to any of the other players but if that got huge exposure why not? 

i wanted kramnik to challenge anand...but that was not to be.

The whole cycle is turning out to be a joke.
