Don't really like her.

And she'd look a lot better with her natural dark hair than bright orange.

There's only so much you can teach a person in a few weeks, especially if they don't seem to have any natural talent, Rav was very flat footed and heavy in his steps, there have been other large men who have been very light on their feet, Willie Thorne (I think that was his name, getting older, memory faltering ) was very elegant. I think Aliona was trying to cover up the fact that Rav wasn't that much good as a dancer by over cute choreography that didn't work, she'd have been better off going for the quickstep/foxtrot that Anton dished up, mind you if he is as bad as he looked last night it might have been worse.

Her name reminds me of garlic mayonnaise

She looks like a tranny.

I think she's a good dancer and has a great personality, but I agree with those who say she doesn't appear to be a good teacher or tailor choreography to the talent/personality of her celeb, which you need to be/do to be a good Strictly Pro. I'd like to see her back, because she only really had 3 dances and that's a pretty steep learning curve, but I'd be surprised if she's asked to return.

What a constructive comment to make!

She's gorgeous

Yes, he is

I liked her more than Hayley, but don't mind if she comes back or not really. I think her choreography was more suited to DWTS style and just far too much about her, but I'd like to see her having a second chance because I'd hope she's taken that on board and would choregraph more for her celeb than herself next time.

I like her to I hope she gets invited back for next years comp and get someone can carry of the dancing better

I can't tell if I like her or not!

I thought so.

I do like Aliona as a personality, she is funny and sparky, but she (at this point) is no teacher. Rav was never going to be good but she never tailored a routine to him the way Lilia or even Kristina would have.

I like Aliona but she did mess up with Rav, but i suppose shes on a learning curve too in this competition.

does anyone know if she will be back, i think shes fabulous

She will be back

ummm nice............ ginger nice

Will Aliona be back? I hope so, but a case of wait and see, as I expect there will be a few changes next year.

If there is a move towards a more DWTS style, I think she will, the fact she has been choreographing many modern style pro dances is a good sign. She is also doing both pro/celeb and pro tours in 2010.

My only worry is that she hasn't been seen on ITT since she and Rav left. However I think ITT needs a serious revamp next year IMO. Every weekday night is overkill for me!

Aliona always gets my attention, don't know if its the red hair , but she is one of the best dancers ever to join SCD and has a wonderful partnership with Matthew.

I'm a self-confessed "bored during Pro-dance" viewer, but I have to agree, my eyes are drawn to Aliona when she is part of the group. I don't think it is the hair - often the lighting makes them all look brunette - I think she is just that good.
