Flavia. Out of those remaining, she's waited the longest since previously being runner-up (five years). Followed by Vincent (four years). Pasha's waited one year. I don't believe James will ever win.
Which pro most deserves to lift the Glitterball?

They're all amazing. The pressure on the pros must be extraordinary, especially when they're given a celeb with real potential.
If I had to pick one I'd pick Flavia, partly of course because I'm supporting Louis, and partly because she's the only one of the last four who has had to teach someone who couldn't previously dance, and cope with negative judges' comments, etc. I think she's had the harder job. But they're all great.

She'd better hurry up then, she's only got half an hour to nobble Flavia and steal her partner!
Very interesting question - we love the pros on this forum and probably invest as much in them as we do in the celebs, if not more in the case of those who have been around for a while. I guess it depends on what they have all done to 'deserve' a win.
Flavia - the most patient of all the pros left, I think. She has had some contenders and some duffers and has produced some good, if not terribly memorable (for me) choreography. I love to watch her dance (particularly in the AT, natch), but I don't think of her as an outstanding teacher or choreographer.
Pasha - has produced some stunning dances, particularly last year for Chelsee, but some lovely ones for Kimberley this year, too. Absolutely adored the AS and the fusion dance was the most clever of all the offerings that week. I suppose he 'deserves' a win because of that choreography, but he's been gifted with some good contenders.
Vincent - not my favourite pro by a long way - that 'everybody loves me' schtick is getting more than a little tiresome - but he has produced some lovely dances for Dani, particularly that charming VW and, of course, the AT. But I give him credit for not letting his smile slip when he was paired with Edwina Curry last year, and he has proved his worth over the years.
James - everybody's whipping-boy on this forum, but I like him a lot. He is, apparently, very well liked by the back-stage people at Strictly, which always demonstrates true character, I think. His choreography is not always my favourite, but it is clever - just enough to impress, but not enough to flummox the celebrity. He appears to be an excellent teacher and has certainly put in the graft over the years. So James gets my vote. Sadly, he and Denise won't win, but then how many people get what they deserve anyway?

Vincent - with Louisa, Rachel and now Dani he has had the most brilliant choreography and good dancers without winning. And no, I don't believe the fact that they lost was because of him.
Pasha, he's a thoroughly nice chap and stands in the shade to showcase his partner.
Flavia and Vincent are both adorable but I'd like to see V win over F this year (even though Louis is simply delicious)
Personally I enjoy seeing James switch personality every year to try and win. We've had angry James, passionate James and this year sickly suck up James ("I'm so lucky to be dancing with Denise" as his eyes scream "camera on me please")

Flavia
She has turned a non-dancer into a magical dancer, taught him how to lead, and her choreography was fantastic.

Pasha.
He is an awesome dancer, choreographer and teacher and seems to be a genuinely lovely person. And OMG he is so hot (I would!).
The other three are all vile IMO. My bottom 3 pros actually.

I agree with everything you said about James, so true imo and well said
