She`s there every week.. I think she was there last year too

Perhaps it's the consolation prize for going out in week 1 (2 actually).

It's to make up for having to hide in a cupboard while Gregg was still in the comp.

Aliona looked stunning last night.

Natalie was there as well last night, despite going out last week.

Natalie was there too (maybe not right next to Claudia) but they were there for the Pro-dance, I expect

I noticed Tristan in Claudia's Cove last week (keep it clean, folks) too.

Spotting the gorgeous Tristan is always a treat

I like seeing them back there - is this a new thing? It's a bit of a consolation prize for fans of the pros who are not in the competition anymore. They still dance every week in the pro numbers.

Maybe it's like a horse that has unseated its rider at the first fence.

She is still galloping around the course- even though Gregg is nowhere to be seen.

All of the dancers (pro and celeb) stay up in the Clauditorium when they arent performing.

The pros who are no longer competing are also there as they are needed for the pro and/ or exhibition dances in the results show - as has already been noted - Natalie and tristan were in evidence too - and no doubt next week we'll see the pro eliminated tonight too!

Ha ha ha

Yeah I've seen Tristan there every week since he's been eliminated and same with Aliona

She always looks stunning I hope she is there every week

In whichever order of importance you see fit:

a) I think she might be in the pro-dance in the results show,
b) I like the sense of loyalty to the pro-dancers that it shows; being eliminated doesn't mean they're forgotten, and
c) the producers aren't stupid- she looks gorgeous.

Great to see all the pros up with everyone . Love seeing them cheering everyone on

They usually do don't they.

I think they have the week following their elimination off then they are always about in the background. It would look very empty otherwise towards the end.

I like it keeps up the whole "we're one team in it together" atmosphere.

This.

I am a big Claud fan, but I found it hard to concentrate on her pieces to camera this week, my eyes kept wandering towards Aliona.....

But she was in a short red dress which wasn't what she wore in the pro dances...

Yep - no complaints from me either.

I noticed this also. It bugged me so much I signed up to this forum to ask someone! !
I'm not complaining that aliona stands about in a tiny red dress, but why that dress? I was thinking do they do another Pro dance for the audience that we at home don't see ??

I know she's likely there for the pro dances.. But does she wait there during dances so she can get her lovely mush on camera

Aliona is very popular in the D household. She can stand how and where she likes

I like it that the 'Tesspit' (as was) still has lots of people in it, even towards the end of the series. I hated it when it was virtually empty - meant it was nearly all over.

'Cos Aliona got game!
