All of that, plus Karen Hardy in choreography corner.

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.

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.

1) Blackpool
2) Charleston
3) No Sunday show pretending to be Saturday
4) Competitive group VW
5) Keeping Brian, VIncent, Flavia, Erin, Anton, Ian, Lilia, Darren e.t.c

Not much else.....

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]
