On the whole, I actually quite like the group of pro's. The only one's I'd swap are Jared, Anton (naturally), and probably Aliona.

I feel quite bad for saying Aliona because she seems really nice and deserved a decent partner after Rav, but I'd take Lilia, Karen or Camilla any day over her.
Your take on Aliona, I like her and her modern choreography. At least she dosen't play it safe like some of them do.

I still miss Ian and Matthew - if only ANTON had made way for a new dancer...
Why should Anton make way hes a fabulous dancer.

I would keep Artem, I don't agree with those who dismiss him just because he was paired with Kara It's unfair on him to not give credit to him for Kara's improvement and performances. He's still had to draw out what talent she had and worked on her lack of self belief.

I would not keep Jared or Robin and would bring back Matthew and Ian

I would get rid of Anton and Jared as Anton's Latin just doesn't seem to be on a par with the rest of the pros and Jared seems very nice but he's just not up to the standard in Ballroom and Latin of the other pros. I would bring back Matt and Ian in their places I think.
But I would keep both Artem and Robin as they've proved to be good dancers and teachers.

I like the current female pros but I do miss Lilia.

Artem has been good but I don't rate Jared or Robin. Not particularly keen on Katya either.

I do miss Ian and Matt C - both fantastic teachers who bring their celebs on.

I don't have a real issue about any of the newer dancers but they haven't done anything with a WOW factor for me.
I particularly miss Brian Fortuna and think that to have consigned Ian and Darren to the non event that is the Dance troupe to make way for the newer pros hasn't worked out at all.
Bring back Brian and re-instate Ian and Darren

I'll join in with the Artem love, and I like Robin. Young Jared can go back home to his little house on the prairie.

As for the ladies - bring back Lilia and get rid of Natalie
My thoughts entirely.

Of the three of them the only one that I would keep is Artem, a very talented dancers and designs some very different routines. As for jared he seemed very outclassed by the other dancers, had a lot of timing issues and his routines seemed to have very lttle content. Robin I feel a lot of the time is trying to make himself look good, in early dances he was dragging Patsy around the floor trying to keep up with, and a lot of times he seems to be showing how good he is and forgets that he is supposed to be in time with music. What is really lacking with the new dancers is a bit of class, grace and a pro that makes the best of their celeb dancers, thats whats missing with no Ian, darren and Matthew

Of the new men, I love Artem and after a slow start I now really like Robin too....Jared I could take or leave.

I still miss Matthew and it was good to see Ian again if only for one week, but I'm surprised how little I'm missing Darren...I like him best on ITT.

Of the "new(ish)" girls I love Aliona and Natalie, but I'm not too keen on Katya.

I miss Lilia and even Karen still (although again I love her on ITT and I would like her as a judge).

My preferred pros list would be;

Matthew, Artem, Robin, Ian, James (yes, that surprises me too!) and Brendan
Aliona, Natalie, Flavia, Lilia, Kristina and Ola (again another surprise, but I've liked her much better this year).

Erin and Darren for ITT analysis.
Karen as a judge.
Anton to do the behind the scenes videos (I like his comedy, but too much can irritate!).
