I think he just side-stepped the question. I've really no idea what he'd choose if offered a teaching pro role on both....

I don't think the Strictly pros find out for sure until early to mid-June. I don't know what we can conclude about Ola's and Aliona's meetings tbh
(Didn't Aliona tweet about having great meetings with the producers the year she injured her foot? She ended up in the Xmas show and was then fired! ). I don't know if Artem and Kara are together or not, but, their relationship to one side, he hasn't been allowed to make the UK his permanent home by the visa authorities and without a specific contract here he has to leave, whereas he has a green card and can live in the US. (I think if he didn't he might even put his green card in jeopardy (??), and then where would he be?....Russia?! ). If he and Kara are together, I imagine he'd choose SCD. If not, then I could see DwtS being a better option, (although not the better job) because he'd be able to capitalise on it outside the show (lessons, tours, whatever), in a way he isn't allowed to do here. I'd hate it if he left Strictly, so really hope all the stars align for him to stay.....

Have to admit I don't understand Artem's visa problems because Kristina, Aliona, Pasha, Anya, Iveta and Alijaz all worked and lived in USA and don't seem to have the same problems as Artem.
. Maybe they have US citizenship now and that makes a difference?? I know Aliona has had to leave the country on day trips to France or Ireland to renew her visa, so maybe she's in the same situation as Artem? So far as I know Anya left as soon as Strictly finished and Iveta and Alijaz presumably have EU passports so there's no issue for them anyway.

I can't say I do really, but I do know he isn't allowed to be here without a work contract. I don't think the US work situation and the UK one are directly related - there's a different set of hoops to jump through in each country. I don't know how Kristina and Pasha's circumstances differ from his, but they seem to work here without a sponsor

I can't believe I used to love this show so much
and was having heated discussions about it at times ![]() I completely lost interest in it . Twop is closing. I just learned that Annie at EW who was doing those wonderful recaps got fired. I even tried to catch up to what has been happening this season BUT got so bored and disinterested .Anyways, I remember a few familiar names here and I just wanted to say that I enjoyed discussing this show with you guys in previous series .I'm STILL a hardcore SCD fan though ![]() it's just DWTS that I cannot bear these days. I guess there comes a time when we outgrow certain things.

I watch it, in the hope it will improve, but not really invested in it or any of the pairings really. Much prefer SCD now. I used to like DWTS for some of the differences to SCD ironically, now it has strayed too far off course. Part of the fun was coming on here as you say to discuss it, all I seem to do is moan and that's not good. I don't know how much longer I will last at watching it, not even remotely excited by it anymore.

Some other poster was spot on when they said the producers have turned it more into SYTYCD but with Celebs. |

I feel like I haven't been here in ages (it has just been a few weeks lol ) and I totally agree with you; My sentiments exactly.

Agree, I did not even watch last mondays episode. Just checked to see who gone.

I understand how you are feeling. Always prefered scd but always enjoyed dwts as well. There are too much hybrid dances and not enough proper technique & actual ballroom. Too many changes for change sake & too much style over substance but still watch mainly cos I like some of the pros
They should have stuck with what made the show popular to begin with.Anyways, I see that Artem is in the US. Does he thinks about switching up to Dwts or what ![]()

DWTS continues to try and get itself cancelled. The "mix up" was terrible. Nearly as bad as some of the guest judges and new music set up.
The only change that has worked is the new graphics for the scores. Erin over Brooke is 50/50 - she is the more competent but the show has lost that car crash element Brooke brought. As for the latest dances, I thought Meryl's routine was too frantic and harsh. And I really don't enjoy her style at all. Charlie/Peta both looked gross. |
