Water cooler conversation:
How about ditching the pro number with (usually at least borderline lousy) live guest act and replacing it with
either
1) Reprise of judges' fave dance from the main show (a la DWTS)
OR
2) Last week's eliminated couple gets to do the dance they would have done if still competing (came up because of Thom's dear departed paso I think
)

Agree, the pro dances are getting worse. Why not go back to showing us how proper ballroom dancing should be done? Nobody needs a barn dance.
I suspect that of the ten million viewers, the majority would like a bit of fun like the barn dance and few would want a very formal 'proper' demonstration dance. Just look at how many serious ballroom dancing programmes there are on mainstream TV channel - zero.
Surely a reprised dancer getting eliminated sans dance off is little better. I suspect they know the voting pattern enough to know what dance to choose by the time it is reprised.
The musical guests I could do without, unless the quality of them improve (Culture Club - seriously..?)
I also think that having the judges pick someone out as their favourite dance would just make certain people look even more 'teachers' pet' than they do anyway.
Since a different couple seems to get chosen most weeks I doubt that. They don' t choose the highest scorer every time, either.
Can't see it working. if they deserrved to go, it ill be a case of seeing again someone we were pleased to see go finally. If they perfom something well, it will make the point they should not have gone, and undermine the credibility of the show. Imagine Ali Bastian coming back in the final , and outperfoming both finalists .Or some of the earlier shock departures coming back and doing the best dance of the week.
I love the pro dances and think they should be kept. The barn dance probably wouldn't have been everyone's cup of tea but it's nice to see different styles of dance and I would encourage them to do more styles we don't usually see. As well as doing all the classic styles of dance too, obviously.
Shake things up eh? ;-)
Don't think pro dances are a problem per se, but some of them are a bit naff IMO, including some of the ones they do with guests.
Often the act overshadows the dancers (unless you are Kevin and throw yourself about with great abandon to a slow song
Len and Bruno fly out to Los Angeles to do Dancing With the Stars after the show so Bruce's retirement makes no difference.
And with a 9-10m audience on a Sunday night for the Results Show it seems unlikely the BBC would revert back to a Saturday night show.
Plus.... the spoiler thread on here is great!!!!
It is not the technical best dance that makes judges choice every week on DWTS.
