Great post! I entirely agree.

The obsessive over-analysing of every move, word, facial expression is creepy.

There are a lot of negative, depressed people on here & it slightly does my head in.

Why not just relax & enjoy the dancing?

I don't really dislike her but there is something about her that grates with me....

As someone else has said - she doesn't come across well in interviews - she just speaks before thinking not just about What she says but also HOW she says it.

BUT - I will put my hand up and say that what DOES pee me off about this partnership is the sometimes discontinuity between what the judges say to them after the dance and the marks they get given immediately afterward. If there are mistakes they do need to be taken into account when marking and TBH, this week the comments for their first R&R were pretty bad - but he still scored pretty highly.

As someone else said they tell him he needs to keep improving, but why should he when he gets high marks no matter if he goofs up or not?

Its a case of them being the judges pets costing them votes through no real fault of their own.

I personally think all 3 new girls will be invited back.

Both Natalie and Katya did well in the contest. I'm sure they will return.

Aliona was less succesful but she has been so heavily involved in the pro dances, choreographing 4 in the last 5 weeks (by my maths!). All with the modern DWTS flavour we're told SCD will move towards next year. Plus she's on the pro/celeb and pro tour. Not the sign of someone who is going to be dropped.

As much as I liked her last year Hayley was hardly seen at all after she and Mark were eliminated.

I more inclined to think if there are changes it may be some of the more established dancers who don't return, as we've seen previously.
