Pairing Chris Hollins with Ola Jordan
Introducing the Charlston
Having a show in Blackpool
Claudia in the Tess pit
Having James Jordan reporting on ITT
All of that, plus Karen Hardy in choreography corner.

Biggest one for me is scrapping the HATED Sunday pre-recorded show. Although the show now drags a bit, it feels like proper Strictly when it's all live.
Yes, that is the best bit for me. And when they return to 2 shows on a Saturday night with a gap between the main and results show, I'll be even happier.

2 dances before anyone was eliminated
The Charleston (wish it had come a week or two sooner)
Karen doing choreography corner
Letting James so some presenting etc to show off a different side of him
Results show on a Saturday (although a break in between might be better)
I think most of the partnerships have been well matched, although that's always as much by luck than judgement.

^^^^ all of the above, plus Blackpool.
The 2 dances before elimination was the best new thing.

-Making the celebs dance both a ballroom and a latin before voting one out.
-Bringing the results back live on a Saturday. If they could've stuck the lottery/Merlin in between, it would've been even better.
-Blackpool week, although I would've preferred Blackpool as the venue for the final rather than halfway through.

Despite my moaning on the revamp thread, I do love this show and there have been some things about this series which have made me very happy.
[LIST=1][*]Having them dance ballroom and Latin before anyone went.
[*]New dances, I’d have preferred to have them all do the same, a Charleston one week then a rock and roll another. But it’s just great to have them do something different.
[*]Returning to Blackpool, I hope they do this again.
[*]Claudia backstage, would love for this to be made permanent.
[*]The new girls, Aliona especially. I’d like them all to stay on but her in particular, I’ve loved seeing her dance with Matt.
[*]The fact that we’ve not lost Karen all together, I’d love to have even more of her involvement next year, but I love the fact she’s still around with her bits on ITT.
[*]Jill Halfpenny! Terrific surprise to have her dance again. I’d love another series of just the best previous contestants, yeah I know dream on!
[*]I think the show has been lit very beautifully this year. I never notice stuff like that, but it’s really stood out to me this year, well done the lighting crew. [/LIST]
