Ahh... thanks ...my mistake......
Perhaps there are 15 celebs and 1 member of the public from the Peoples Strictly that would make 16 contestants.

SCD always has allegations of fix and fiddle every year in various ways and things like this don't help.
Just gives rise to even more conspiracy theories.”

Aww, hope not. Strictly is for glitzy showbizzy celebs, not nobodies you don't have any affinity with

Strictly speaking Trent wasn't dropped as he was only taken on for the 1 season to replace the injured Robin.

Why
SMH why do they keep doing this Why cant they just have 15 pros or have 16 celebrities (then do 2 double elimination or 1 ? ) . I hope that one of the newbies is exempt from that .
I also hope it isnt Ola.I wished her husband's behavior didn't taint her reputation
but sadly it does .
Also can someone enlighten me as to why several people seem to think that the pro that will be left out is Otille the newbie ?

It just seems weird to me that they'd bring in three new pros only to have one pro too many - surely it would have made more sense just to bring in two? I just think there must be some sort of twist or something...it doesn't really make sense otherwise.

I said Ola, not because of her husband but because of her injury, they might give her more of a backseat so she's only in the pro routines, so that there isn't the additional strain of having to train somebody and perform in those routines again.
I'm a dancer (not ballroom but ballet) and I've seen that done before until they know somebody's fully recovered and I remember James posting that she couldn't dance in May, so the producers might not want to risk it.
I read Ola is thinking this could be her last series, she said ending on her tenth year sounded good and she hopes to win and go out on a high.

Oh I see . I hope she has a celebrity though
I read a couple of weeks ago that she was doing so much better.
At the end of last night's One Show, Alex Jones said something about the final 2 celebrities being announced there on Thursday. So could be 4 more announcements and the last one is a double?
I just can't understand why they would hire 16 pros if they only have 15 celebs - if they need extra pros, Ian Waite is still around to make up to even numbers if needs be.

No. There are absolutely, definitively 15 celebs - we will get one today, one tomorrow and two on Thursday.

website hasnt been updated yet - its still showing last years pro line-up
none of the 3 new pros are on their either - they really need to update the website!
real shame that the hire 16 pros only to drop one
really depends what the male/female ratio of celebs is
if there are more males then Anton will be dropped
if there are more females - no clue!

As much as it pains me, but why would Anton be dropped?
Out there in the normal Strictly Watching World
which ends with the Christmas Special and starts again about now, Anton is one of the few Pros who have actual name recognition (as opposed to 'him with the teeth' or 'him with the bum' as per my mate). If there is a female celeb of a certain age or upwards who needs steering round in the ballroom and easing through a Latin or 2 then he will be dusting off his all-in-one.(On a purely personal note - if it's a choice of Anton steering round a celeb on auto pilot or taking a more active presenting or judging role - then keep him partnered up
)

no idea, its just my guess which is what the OP asked
I cannot vote in the poll - because "NONE" is not an option.
This is, however, what I believe. I think there will be the announcement of a majorly big (probably US) star that they will save for Launch Night.
Never mind that the show is pre-recorded so we will all know by the next day - it will still be a massive surprise for those attending the live event.
My guess - Henry Winkler.

I think Ola has come back this year specifically because of Peter Andrew, who is on record as saying he would do Strictly if he could dance with her. I think we can take the 'dance with' a bit loosely as they may not end up as partners, but I certainly expect them to dance together in the first group dance.
