Loving the work of the pros this year (ultimately they can only choreograph to the celeb's ability level). I'd love to see them all back with the exception of Anton who should be replaced by Ian.

Oh please, please, please replace Anton with Ian!

Would also love to see Matt Cutler back. Was never a fan of Brian, though.

James gets a lot of flak but people don't seem to get that he's putting it on. Vincent doesn't seem to get the same level of nastiness for his constant self-love. And James constantly choreographs to the level of his partner. He brought out the best of Cherie and Pamela brilliantly. He has been a bit challenged with DVO because there was nowhere to go. She could dance at the start and can dance now. There has been nothing for him to do. As for criticism that he got at one point for taking credit for the Charleston choreography, he said very clearly on ITT that he did not choreograph it, that none of the pros choreograph that dance (or another one, which I forget). He only felt awkward about saying it on the live show when the judges were showering praise on him for it when he'd already said it wasn't him. Stupid of the judges - they know perfectly well the pros don't choreograph that dance. He is also gracious about protecting his celeb - owning up to having gone wrong. Still, if Ola goes, he'll go, which would mean we could get Matthew back. Anyway, enough about James.

I'd also like to see Brendan given another contender. Lisa might have been good technically but was grating personally. Although I hope never to see another Foilgate.

Kristina - absolutely fab. Definitely keep her. Was disadvantaged this year with idiotic height difference and the fact that her partner was available so little to practice.

Artem - a brilliant addition to the show, both as choreographer and dancer. Was limited this year due to Fern, but I think he enjoyed it a lot more with her than with Holly, who didn't try.

Pasha - adore him.

Robin - adore him too. He's limited again by what his celeb can do. He's never had a genuine contender.

Ola - has always been guilty of dancing around her partner rather than trying to teach them.

Ditto Aliona. Aliona was also the first to rely extensively on distracting props and gimmicks.

Karen - oh dreary me. Fierce Latin dancer, rubbish teacher and choreographer. Anyone who thinks Nicky is most improved should remember that his really low marks at the start were due as much to Karen's poor choreography and rule breaking.

Erin - don't know why she's still there.

I agree that there needs to be some new pros introduced, some of the routines are getting a bit repetitive.

Ola: Perhaps having almost had a year off will have given her chance to think up some new moves. I like her and she's a good partner to her pros, but she's the most predictable, especially with Latin dances.

Erin: How many years have I watched her go out and thought 'well, that'll be her last dance'? Really wouldn't be surprised if she chooses to bow out now after 10 years (love her though).

Kristina: Had bad luck to be with Colin (who would have been a better match for Erin). She's a great partner and teacher, when she's not having to overcompensate with knicker-flashing she can put together some great routines.

Aliona: You certainly can't call her predictable, she has to come back.

Karen: I think I'm the only person who likes her! She looks great and moves brilliantly in the pro routines. Her choreography is improving, I think she *gets* the show better than when started.

Natalie: Queen of all pros! Excellent teacher, partner and choreographer.

Flavia: I love the routines she puts together.

James: He's obviously a good teacher and has put together some very stylish routines, but his wannabe bad boy shtick is boring. Wouldn't miss him.

Anton: Beyond the parody of himself.

Robin: He seems to be fairly limited, but I would like to see him with a genuine contender to see what he do.

Artem: He has produced some of the most sensational and original routines on Strictly, but didn't push Fern enough. Of course he's got to stay.

Pasha: Looks like he will get a duffer next year, but I can't think of anyone who would be sweeter with someone hopeless.

Vincent: Very original choreography and a great teacher.

Brendan: Oh dear, I nearly missed him off my list. He's done some great stuff in the past, but I suspect it might be time for him to move on.

I have always loved the fact that the show had continuity through the Professionals so am surprised I think it's time for a clearout. Think Anton and Erin just have to go - we are all weary of each other. Lisa has been the kiss of death for Robin so please move on. Goodbye Ola and James - your heart just isn't in it. Give Brendan another contender please so we can see his wonderful dancing again before he moves on. Natalie has more than proved herself this year and Aliona annoys the hell out of me but the show needs her style. New girl - too American for me. Kristina - maybe time to go. So a few new faces please.

I would ditch Robin, Anton, Aliona & Kristina... Replace the latter with Iveta. (They should never have ditched Katya - who was delightful - without ever once giving her a decent partner).

So would I Terry. I really like and admire him and think he would be a great addition.

Ola: I like Ola as a person, she's fiesty and fun, but I'm not always a fan of her choreography, it seems quite lazy at times. This season in particular I thought she was dreadful, but that could be due to personal reasons, so I'm willing to give her one more chance

Erin: I love Erin....but her dancing Latin makes me what to gouge my eyes out and I think its steadily getting worse, time for pastures new I think.

Kristina: I used to love Kristina in her first few years, but I just haven't warmed to her the last few series. Mainly I think because in the pro dances it just seems to be constantly her front centre wearing half nothing....give some of the light to the other pro's perhaps?! But not particularly bothered if she stays or goes.

Aliona: You just never quite know what is going to appear before your eyes when Aliona takes to the floor! I've found other pro's getting repetitive with their choreography (cough ola cough!!), but she is always unique and different. Generally I love her sometimes rather odd choreography, there have been one or two cringeworthy moments though! But definitely keep to liven things up...and who would people argue about on here if she was gone?!

Karen: I really didn't like her at the start, but I'm warming up to her and would like her to be back next series to see what she does then, everyone needs a series to warm up I think.

Natalie: Ah Natalie, what a legend.

Flavia: To be honest I don't get the adoration for her. Lovely girl but I'm not a fan of her routines all the time, also think she's falling into the "getting lazy with choreography" catagorey, think she could have done a lot more with Louis this year...but they'll prob still win!

James: Words can't describe how much he irritates me. Tries to be the bad boy, but we already have a brendan so.....

Anton: Another one who wants to gouge my eyes out when he does latin. Time to go I think, the only reason I don't really mind him being here is that they never seem to waste good talent on him, they give him the elderly ladies and so if he wants to stay and play that role forever, fine by me!

Robin: I just don't know...have we seen Robin at his full potential?

Artem: The male version of Aliona, never dull on the dancefloor...maybe not as "out there" with his choreography as her, but extremely unique and entertaining a definite keep!

Pasha: Please make his hair grow back to normal...then a definite keep also!

Vincent: Wee vincent! Had almost forgotten about him until his come back this year and I love him! He's produced some great routines this year!

Brendan: I literally change my mind day by day on this man!!!

I'd love them to bring back Darren and Lilia! (This is in a dream world, of course!)

Not too bothered about the rest. Really like Vincent, can't take to Flavia.

See I disagree with this about only beingable to choreograph to their contestants level

Part of their job is to challenge and teach their celebs new things

I am thinking of things like Artem last year knew Holly was bad in hold and choreographed around that for example all the lamposts swirling instead of being inhold

and you just know that Natailie would have sorted out Nicky's posture problems before the programme even started

This is partly why I have taken against Robin this year, Lisa got to certain standard and that's it , no further in fact as she forgot a whole chunk of the cha cha last night she has been allowed to go backwards

I respect and want to see more of those who try and either correct, hide or accomodate their celebs faults not accept them and dance limited dances

When I think back to some of the duffers we have had in the series some of them have gone on to produce at least one lovely memorably dance

This year was Michaels wembley dance , Gavin had the quickstep? I think with him and katya in suits

Fern's last dance had more oomph and personality than all the previous ones put together

I realise some people will have physical limitations to their dancing ability or have no musicality but look what Nat acheived by pure hard work with Michael,

where as Anton could and should have done more with jerry they both barely broke a sweat

I don't want the pros to rest behind excuses their job is to enthuse, teach and innovate and put a rocket up lazy celebs
