So, when the big clear out of Pro's happened I thought it was a bit unnecessary and that I would miss the familiar faces, esp Ian Waite and Darren B .. I must say I was totally wrong - I really enjoy seeing the new chaps, especially Artem and Robin who I think are very enjoyable to watch. Just goes to show, a change is as good as a rest....

I still miss Ian and Matthew - if only ANTON had made way for a new dancer...

Artem is the only one I would definitely want back. Robin seems nice but I haven't been blown away by his choreography and wouldn't be gutted if they dropped him. Jared I hope never comes back. Sweet, yes but not good enough as a teacher or a dancer.

I think only Artem has impressed and that Robin in particular is pretty awful. Tbh, if I was someone like Ian or Matthew I would feel rather insulted to be replaced by someone like him or the American kid.

Jared, I'd forgetten him already!!!!!

I thought Jared wasn't good at all - tina would have been much better with Darren. Also think Patsy would have done much better with Mathew. I have liked Artem, bit disappointed with the Jive, but one bad dance over all those weeks isn't too bad.

I agree.

Also glad they kept Natalie and Katya, but would be happy to see the back of Aliona

I've warmed to Natalie and Katya this year, but I struggle to like Aliona. I miss Darren too - and Lilia, for that matter. I think Anton should have gone, and I'm ok with Artem. The pros don't need to change - we have new blood with the celebs each year.

I am still miffed that Mathew was missing and we got Jared ,he may be a nice lad but not a great dancer or teacher . Artem I know love , Robin I am indifferent to to be honest .

Only Artem for me the rest can go away and we can get Ian and Matthew back

Well I agree with this

I do miss Matthew He was such a beautiful dancer and an all round lovely and loveable guy.

I like Artem & his choreography and hope he stays. Not bothered about the other two - would rather have Ian & maybe Matt back. Have warmed to Natalie & Katya this year, although I can't say I've really liked Katya's choreography. Personality wise I like Aliona but not at all convinced by her choreography so far - far too many gimmicks.

I really like Artem & Robin. I hope they are both back next year.
Jared has really made any impression on me so i'm not bothered if he doesn't come back.

I want Ian back.

Lol, Aliona is going nowhere fyi.

I have always felt that Matthew has been partly sacrified because he was Alesha's partner, and that might make it difficult for her to give him low marks. If so, what a shame - I think he's a great dancer, and an all round lovely person.

We don't know yet what the pro line-up will be. I never thought at the end of last year that Darren, Lilia, Ian and Matthew wouldn't come back They were very popular and Aliona, while not hated, isn't exactly a star for a lot of people this year. We don't know who will be back and who won't. Unless you have insider knowledge in which case, share

Artem very big tick.

Robin meh

Jared no thanks

Bring back Ian and Darren !!!!

I miss Ian!

But Robin seems like a lovely bloke. If you ignore the fishnet vest.

I took this to mean that she will be winning this year and therefore will be back next year. But put with a token rubbish (and likely elderly) person so she doesn't get too big for her boots.

The professionals for next series should be this. I'd like to have eight couples, just so we see more of the pros!


Brendan
James
Vincent
Artem
Robin
Ian
Darren
Matthew
Lilia
Flavia
Ola
Natalie
Katya
Kristina
Aliona
Crystal/Aneta/Tanya from the dance troupe. I'd like to see what they can do.

On certain threads Aliona is not liked, I like her and thats that.

So many jokes, so little time!!!!!!!!!

The pro line up is only decided a couple of months before the series starts.
All the pros are on single series contracts.

I know you love old witches chin, chuck


I never thought of that Rebella, you may have a point. He certainly added a lot to the show, as much as I love Ian too, if we could vote to bring one back, my vote would go to Matt.

Old witches? LOL.
