Thanks Sara -nice to have my view confirmed!

A bit harsh I think

(Deborah Meadon??????!!!!)

I think they used that as a "glamourous" pic of Hanna to promote the event!

Mind you, whilst I certainly thought she was gorgeous, when trying to find a pic to illustrate this I found most of her online pics don't do her justice (to say the least)! But, honest, she really is stunning!

I'd have won if I were there, because straight away I thought of Hanna Haraala. I have no idea who she is, or anything about her, but her name has always lingered for some reason!”

I went for Hanna on that question too!!!

Here's a clip of one of Hanna & Andrew's routines from Erotica - taken from the audience but I think the camerawork is probably better than the standard on Strictly

Nicole actually won a world title didn't she so i don't know why she was let go. She wasn't my favourite dancer but if a show wants quality dance routines then it would have made sense to keep dancers that are clearly quality (not saying those that don't have a title aren't quality, but you know what I mean).

Matt and Nicole were world amateur champions and professional finalists- among the most successful professionals to take part in the show. I think it's probably to do with personality- Nicole being such an amazing dancer wasn't enough to save her because on-screen she didn't have the kind of big personality some of the others do. Matthew went the same way later on.

Sadly though, as we're often reminded, it's an entertainment show as well as a dance show! I wish the BBC had had the sense to ask them to come back and do all the latin demos. I miss their choreography and dancing in the pro routines, which have taken a bit of a nose-dive in the last few years.
