I definitely want Kevin, Karen, Artem, Pasha, Aljaz and Iveta to stay.

I want Anya, Natalie and Robin to stay.

I don't mind Anton.

I used to like Aliona and Kristina, but I have gone off them both this series. I wouldn't mind it if they were back though.

I haven't warmed to Janette, but that's probably down to Julien!

I think Brendan needs to calm down,

I do not want James and Ola back. I find JJ inparticular extremely annoying to be honest. Sorry! I just want to here more of the other pro's and I would much prefer someone else to do the behind the scenes stuff and interviews rather than him.

I think we can safely say Kevin From Grimsby will be back, along with half his family if last week was anything to go by.
As long as he doesn't bring the 'Fiance' with him!....



It would be very nice if Matt could come back. It's not been the same without him.
And he could stop trying to flog all those Zumba dvd's on QVC then!.... it's painful to watch!....

I think Erin might return since she will have given birth by then

Have Vincent and Flavia left for good, or was it break just for this yr??? I want them back, they were my favourite pros.

As people have said there may be some package deals. I imagine if one half of a couple was offered a contract and the other wasn't, they'd have to decide whether to return. However Karen started without Kevin so who knows.

Those I'd like to see back
Brendan
James
Ola
Robin
Natalie-all going well health wise
Anya
Aljaz
Kevin
Iveta
Artem

Those I'm not bothered about
Karen
Janette
Pasha - don't throw things
Anton
Kristina

Very unlikely, family is her priority now.

I think it's quite a good line up. Anton fills a gap, but perhaps if Bruce goes he may step into that role.

I've found Brendan quite irritating this year, so I wouldn't mind if he left. I would quite like the new pros to stay for at least another year. I wouldn't miss either Robin or Artem if they went.

Agree with Ian - would also love to see some taller men and women so celebs could be tall too. I like Kristina - would like her to stay, but didn't warm to Janette.

As long as Brucie goes I will be happy. Think James might be back without Ola. Who knows?

I would like to see all the newbies back, I especially love Iveta as I think she's hilarious and Janette seems quite nice (away from Julian that is )
Would also like to see Natalie hopefully return as she is my fave pro.
Wouldn't care if the likes of Brendan and the Jordans went, although I have a little bit of a soft spot for James. Anton should stay I think as he brings something to the show and we need someone who wont get too mad about getting old duffers
From the old pros I would love Katya to come back

Yeah she did, I'm not sure but I hope so. Hopefully her being on them makes it more likely she would return for a full series, I always liked her

No I think that they really left for good (someone correct me if Im wrong ) , unfortunately .

They have so much going on for them outside the show so doing the serie is becoming harder and harder for them to do. Plus Flavia recently got engaged and I assume that she will probably want to settle down and possibly start a family.

I miss them on the show but I'm very glad that they are so successful outside of it so all in all, Im very happy for their them .

The only ones that I'm not bothered to see coming back are Anton and Janette. The rest can stay

-Janette seems like a lovely girl but she has to be least underqualified pro they had on this show. She isn't even a trained ballroom Latin/Ballroom dancer .
Appearing on shows with Jennifer Lopez, Glee...doesnt make you necesarily knowledgeable in ballroom/Latin. I know she is some kind of specialist in one dance (salsa ....) but still...........

Granted Julien was an awful dancer and his personality irritating (I felt a bit for her ) but when I saw her paso for example, I wondered many times what dance are they really supposed to be doing.
I guess my issue is , IF she gets a celebrity partner next year (assuming she is back ) how is she going to teach him some dances when she doesnt even really know them that well herself

Same problem we had on Dancing with the Stars (the US version ) this season with the producers recruiting a Jazz specialist who has never done ballroom or Latin in her life and only did a crash course in Ballroom/Latin for a few weeks (she said it herself ) when she got the job as a pro. WTF ??? !!??!! Her name is Tyne Steicklein (very lovely girl and highly skilled in her discipline but completely out of her dept for a show like Dwts and it showed in all of her routines this season).

-And then another dancer Witney that they recruited but who is also a Contemporary specialist....I just dont get it.....and the season before that Lindsay who has never done ballroom/Latin except when she competed on reality tv show (so you think you can dance/USA ).....I dont get it......

Im really surprised by some of these choices especially when I know that they are many pros who get interviews every year for shows like Strictly or DWTS but dont get the job and someone less qualified does ? Someone who isn't even trained in either discipline ? Yes I know qualifications are not everything but surely you should be able to know what you are going to teach right ?


Anton : awful latin dancer...getting tired of him trying to think that he is too funny or taking the comedy route with a lot of his routines...I don't mind him but I wont be bothered if he doesn't come back.

Oh and Iveta has to be the most accomplished pro dancer we have now ; Her resume is Insane !!!

Sorry didnt meant to go on and on like this

I think we'll see something like:

Staying

Aljaz- A very popular addition this year, he's managed to make Abbey (who a lot of people were disliking before she'd even set foot on the dancefloor) a hit with the viewers, and is now the show's "hunk in residence".

Pasha- He thoroughly enjoys the show and carries one of the largest fanbases. Doesn't seem likely to quit, and producers would be barmy to sack him.

Kevin- A revelation! Despite seeming to be a last minute addition to the roster, he has, for me, had the most impact for a debuting pro since Artem.

Artem- Speaking of which.... I think he'll be there for the forseeable. The closest we have to Derek Hough in terms of innovative choreography.

Iveta- Very popular with fans and taken an average dancer to the upper echelons of the competition.

Anya- Another last minute replacement (I'm sad we didn't get Emma but thrilled to have Anya), she's worked wonders with Patrick, and deserves to stay on merit.

Natalie L- Will she be back? I don't think the producers will have the gall to fire her, so her return is all based on her recovery. I'd like to think she'll be a certain name for next year.

Likely

Anton- He might be knocking 70, but Anton seems to the the pro that will not go. Likely to come back, but a presenting role might mean his skills are transferred elsewhere on the show.

Karen- This time last year, a lot of us were thinking she might not be given a second go. Whilst I'm glad she did, the tabloid "feud" with Ola might not have stood her in good stead with producers (that's assuming, and it's unlikely, that there's any truth at all in that nonsense)

Robin- Never been the strongest choreographer and that was evidenced (to Deborah's detriment) more strongly than ever this year. Appears to be quite popular, though, and is used a lot for touring/ specials.

Brendan- He's been there from the start and has history as the first winner, so I think it's likely he'll want to be there for the shows 10th birthday. Might call it a day for 2015, mind.

Kristina- Despite spending much of this past fortnight looking like she wanted to poke Len in the eye with a very sharp stick, I don't see her leaving. If producers decide to bin Robin, she's in more danger, although I think she brings more to the show as a whole than her dancing partner.

Leaving

James & Ola- The pitter patter of tiny tap shoes can't be too far away, so I imagine they might take a (temporary) hike to concentrate on that. James won't want to call it quits completely until he's won the Glitterball, though.

Janette- Made even less of an impact than Jared or Hayley (but had a far less likeable partner than either of those.) I don't think she was a particularly strong choreographer, but her relationship with Aljaz might win her another year.

Aliona- They already sacked her once, and then, when forced to re-hire her, gave her a 69 year old Golfer who's been out of the public eye for several decades. She's a goner.

I was never really a Katya fan per se but I never understood why she was sacked ..Fiery lady, great personality and great dancer; she did very well with some of the novice dancers she had , and they just got rid of her

-If Kevin's sister ( is it Joanne or Joanna ? lol) decides to retire, then they need to have her on the show as a pro (pretty please ?) ; she is Brilliant !!!

-Am I really in minority in wanting the Jordans to stay ?

-The main reason that I can see Janette staying next year is because of Aljaz.

-I cant believe Im saying this bit Im going to miss Aliona (I did miss her this serie as well ; shocking lol ) but seriously though I wished they gave her another chance but I find it rather unlikely.

I'm starting to think they'll keep everyone on, including Aliona, and bump it up to 16 couples again. I hope not, but the ratings have held up with 15 so I doubt they'll manage to resist the urge. Any pro that drops out of their own accord will get replaced by a Clifton obv.

Zumba will be like hundreds of lose weight methods, a passing fad, maybe he will be back after the novelty of it wears off, as its bound to happen, stepping anyone ? Pilates, Jane Fonda (I have painful memories of that one ).

I agree. I'd also like to see Matt back.............and the back of Len. He's much too full of himself.

Anton and Erin are publicising joint dancing events next June/July so it looks as if she intends to return to work after the baby -is it too much to hope she will return?
