Today the wild card is Brian but tomorrow it could be Lilia, Darren, Ian, Matt, and Brian all counted together.
Instead I would list each one of them separately. Just my opinion.”

If people feel strongly enough that a departed pro is better than any of the 14 current pros, that is quite telling given that we are now halfway through the new series. But it's not really about how popular they are individually. Just my opinion- but I did give it some thought before I set it that way.
If you don't think it's valid, you could always ignore the wild card vote.”

OK, I must say I didn't think quite so many people would vote for the wild card! Still, the others may pick up when more people come on the forum at the weekend. The favourite couple poll has over four times as many votes, so there must be many more people who could take part. If not, we could always start a new poll without a wild card option.
Wasn't there a 'none of them are my favourites' option in previous years? I'd find it difficult to pick one over all the others...
I went for wild card. My favourite was Brian, closely followed by Matt and Ian. My favourite of this year's bunch would be Brendan.
Does Ian have to be on the wildcard option as he did fill in for Brendan for a week? Wouldn't that justify an inclusion as a one of this seasons pro's?

I did wonder about that, but one week doesn't really make him a competing pro.
Perhaps whilst this poll is running we could agree a fair format for the favourite pro poll, and then we can start another one towards the end of the series. I honestly thought only a few die-hards like me would take the wildcard option!
I wasn't going to bother to vote ...... until I saw the 'Wild card'.
That list is very :sleep: ....... Matthew, Ian or Brian would be on my wild card list.

I went wild card as I really miss the lovely Matt Cutler and would love to see hiim back. Out of the current pro's I'd probably go Artem.
Lilia, she's my overall favourite. I also loved Brian.
Out of the guys this year, i'm liking ... Erin, Aliona, Artem and Robin.

Why not ask the Mods to remove the wildcard option and those voters (like me) can vote again for a current pro? 
It would have been Matthew but I decided against the wildcard option and voted for Artem he has really impressed me so far this year (in more ways than one )
