Have to admit I have a problem with him...I find him a show off and the way Anita stares at him as though he is some god.

And the report in the paper that states she says that women are jealous of her for being with Gleb...well here is one that is not.

Agree ^^^^ He's a good teacher and choreographer. Georgia seems to get on with him very well - that's really important in a show like this.

If next year he has patience with a weaker celebrity, and can showcase them despite their weak points, he'll really have proved himself.

One of my favourite male Pros.

I'm a Jay fan, but like Anita and Georgia too.

I agree with everything you have said. He's like breath of fresh air

Giovanni has settled in really well after what I thought was an understandably nervous start.
I think he's a great fit to the programme and hope he's back next year.

I have such a crush on him!,

Lovely partnership and really hope to see them in the final.

He's my favourite new pro, I think it's lovely the way he doesn't try to overshine Georgia he let's her have her moment and he doesn't overdance like some other pro's do. Beautiful choreo and he is gorgeous with a fun personality. A bit like an Italian Tristan

Wasn't so sure at first but now I think he's lovely. Great chronographer too.

Ah no, Tristan is unique and should comment on ITT every day and twice on Sundays.

I thought the whole Whitney thing was very endearing

I love him too! Wonderful addition, gorgeous choreography and partnership and he seems great at both Latin and Ballroom. As others have said I love that he makes the focus on Georgia.

I think he was given some horrendous VTs to start with but now through other ways we're seeing his personality and he seems really funny. More like him please and more of him please!

Yes agree can Tristan do some dance commentary and appear on ITT more!

I love his choreography but I don't get a huge sense of chemistry with Georgia. I sense he's a very driven pro.

I really like him, he's clever and has a great interpretation.
Go double G

They are so endearing on ITT - and he is a great addition to the show.

He's been very lucky to get Georgia because it has allowed his personality to shine through over the weeks.

I think it's fair to say if he'd gone after a couple of weeks, a lot of people would be thinking he was a cheap Vincent clone. Now! - That would have been unfair.

I think all the new pros have been incredible additions this year and have freshened it up. They have also pushed the other pros to work harder and be more creative!

Hopefully Giovanni and Gleb can get their celebs to the final!

I am a bit biased myself HD ! but in an attempt to be objective Giovanni has impressed hugely as teacher, dancer and choreographer. He has been lucky in having the perfect pairing for him but nevertheless never fails to produce fabulous routines week after week and get the best from Georgia be it a hot Latin or emotional ballroom like this week. Definitely the king of choreography so far this series and with a gorgeous personality (and the rest!) to boot. Strictly producers are being urged to take note of a lot @ moment but keeping Gio is a no-brainer!

He is definitely an excellent dancer and choreographer. He's grown on me a lot.

In a painful, horrible way but still very endearing...

I like the way he is coming across personality wise, and his partnership with Georgia and his choreography has been fresh and fun.

Can't really decide much about his teaching until we see him with someone else though.

I like Gleb too, and I hope they both make it back next year.

Wish we'd gotten to see more of Oti, so I hope she gets a second season too.

I love Giovanni and I think that he's done an excellent job in choreography, training and seems to really get what Strictly is about and what the viewers want. To me wahtvere the dances he puts on a show and he's better at it than many of the established pros regardless of the abilities of their celebs.

However, (cue audience type boos like they do for Craig) he has also been pretty lucky in getting a partner this year in Georgia who is very good and is also so well suited to him. He seems very ambitious and this whole experience is going so well for him that it must seem like it's a dream come true at the moment. Giovannis journey has mirrored Artems in many ways. His real test of worth will be in his second year when his partner is not so gifted or not such a good match. I'm sure he'll still be around though,

Agree both him and Gleb have injected some excitement into the routines

Are you all having a laugh!??

You really believe that Giovani is choreographing Georgia's routines?? ! I'm sorry to shatter your precious illusions, but that's an absolute load of nonsense.

If he has been allowed any input at all so far, it will have been the Waltz (which scored less than Ainsley's, and only one point more than Daniel's!). Oh, and possibly the Rumba (which Len didn't consider to even be a Rumba...).
I can tell you right now, that he definitely did NOT choreograph their Jive, Chaleston, or Salsa (probably their 3 best dances...)
I'd be very surprised if he had anything to do with much else, including that hybrid American-Viennese-Smooth-Waltz-waftography thing they just did in Blackpool (you know, the one with the obvious mistakes, but which still scored two 10's - one from the ITALIAN judge, as usual...)

But don't worry, when their very late Cha-cha-choo finally arrives, that one might have some Gio input...
Good luck with that. Maybe he's got Trent's number, and can ask him for some ideas...?

By the way, I'm actually a GMF fan! (although not a fan of Gio, I must admit). I'd much prefer Anita or Jay to win though, as I believe they deserve it so much more...

"I think I'm going to cry!"

What a strange post.

Firstly why the intense hatred for Giovanni, did he run over your cat or something?

Secondly, do you have anything to base these disillusions on? You've implied people are stupid for thinking he choreographs the routines but not given us any reason to believe otherwise.

Thirdly, I thought it was quite clear he choreographed all their dances except the Charleston, where he openly thanked the choreographers. Seeing as all pros are expected to choreograph the traditional ballroom and Latin dances and Gio is trained in both and is a Latin Champion there's no reason to believe that they'd take that part of his job away from him.

Fourthly, those crying about a fix this weekend want to know where you got your tinfoil hat.

That would be right...hes most likely to have choreographed the rumba because that was the one that was criticised for content. Any good routines though couldn't possibly be down to him.

I'm not sure why you think Giovanni wouldn't be allowed to choreograph his routines? Because hes new? Because you don't like him? I take it Georgia is a liar for taking the time out to thank Giovanni publicly in front of millions for choreographing the best routines for her. (Probably she was just covering for his obvious lack of input....and she is an actress after all)

Giovanni is a latin champion, I fail to see how you think he'd need help and who you think could do a better job for their samba. If you look at some of his old clips from competition, quite a lot of the moves have been incorporated in to his routines.

And Bruno could only possibly admire their performances because hes Italian!

Strange post but each to their own!
