Next year I hope bbc give Ola a much better student than she has had this year. Her choreography speaks for itself and looks fab in her catsuits.
BBC please give Ola a good student next year.

She's won it once so I'm more concerned with bringing Ian back and giving him not only a good dancer but one that the viewers will take to.

Good idea, however I can't help my approval of Ola and think she deserves it again in the forseeable future.
She won last year, so I don't think she has any particular right to a decent dancer.
If anyone "deserves" someone with half a chance it should surely be Anton? Esther Rantzen, Jan Ravens, Kate Garraway, Gillian Taylforth, Laila Rouass and Ann. Give the man a break!

No guarantee that she'll be invited back.
So far some pros with "high profiles" have been dropped.
The programme is supposed to be about the "journey" of celebrities.
When some of the pros are more recognisable to the public than some of the celebs, as it was last year and this year, the BBC perceive it as a problem.

I think that Erin deserves a decent partner far more than Ola, she's already won. I also think that Natalie should get a dud, see what she can do with him. 
Artem should get someone amazing, just so we can make sure he's there until the final.

you have to love Ola on the other hand.
If ANYONE deserves a good celebrity its Kristina. John Sargent, Joe Calzaghe and Goldie. Enough said.

let them both have good celebs next year.
In fairness to Ola, I don't think she's ever got a genuinely talented dance partner from the show. Chris wasn't amazing, but improved a lot and had the best story and partnership.

Another pro could well have got Laila to be much better at Latin, and she made the quarter-finals anyway.

That I agree with!
Ola's never had a natural talent, so she really should have one at some point! I'd be interested to see what Natalie would do with a dud.

Seeing as how good Ola does with the 'journey' celebs who don't really have much natural potential I doubt the producers would want to give her someone natural as she would probably walk it
(although I would love this to happen as she's one of my fave pro's). I think this would have been the same with Lilia too had she been given someone natural 
I don't know what it is exactly about these pros that makes them so good with non-natural dancers (maybe choreography, the partnership they build etc) but they always managed to get so much out of the non-contenders.

btw I've started an Ola Appreciation Thread folder. She deserves a folder because she is commited and loyal to the show.

There's one already for James and Ola, I don't really see the point of one for her on her own to be honest....

I think it could just be that some of the pro's are very good teachers, while others aren't. Lilia in particular always struck me as being a very good teacher. Her record on Strictly was all the more impressive when you consider she never had a naturally gifted dancer. She worked Darren and Matt into being strong dancers, and was making remarkable improvements with Don until their time was cut short - I recall he made a 13 point improvement in two weeks, and performed a very credible Tango. I don't think all of the pro's could do that.
Maybe she could have Billy Connolly and we can relive the Jordan/Connolly nightmare all over again next year.

I can't see Ola accepting Billy's antics as much as James plays up to Pamela's though. If Billy tries it with her I think he might be in for a nasty shock.
