Male Pros
Contenders Brendan (then retire him) Tristram Middlers Aljaz, Anton, if not retired) Duds Giovanni,Gleb, Kevin (I would not have classed ANY of Kevin’s first three partners as likely duds contrary to some posters opinions. Susanna Reid was always regarded as having dance ability) Female Pros Contenders Natalie, Otlile, Joanne Middlers Kristina, new pro Duds Janette, new pro Could be a problem finding good male celeb dancers, there were only two this year, although Anthony may have been up there if fully fit. |

Now that we know our finalists, I was wondering what partners each pro should / would hope to get next year (provided they're back of course).
Brendan - hoping he'll get someone decent, it was a shame Kirsty turned out to be a bit rubbish. Anton - back to having a dud please. Better still, retire and replace him with someone else. Kevin - well overdue a dud. One that is definitely a dud, and not an 'unexpected success' like Susannah and Kellie... we need to see less of this limelight hogging man. |

I suspect Anton might be retired now he's been a finalist. Brendan and Tristan will hopefully get the female contenders, with Aljaz, Pasha, and Gleb taking the middle celebs. |

Natalie/Oti/Karen/Joanne/Kristina are all due contenders, it'll be interesting to see next year's male line up. Looking at this year, take Jay out of the equation, Iwan, Anthony, and Peter should all have done better than they did, so having 4 decent male celebs isn't out of the question. Janette will take the Daniel O Donnell figure for next year if there's any justice.

Tristan, Natalie, Brendan and Kristina need contenders.
Gleb as we need to see more of his personality. Kevin, Aljaz, Janette all need suffers. The rest can be middle of the road for me |

Jay aside, when was the last legitimate male ringer? It seems we tend to get fewer of them. Simon would maybe count as a boyband guy I guess but it does seem there aren't as many.
I would like Natalie, Jo, Karen and Brendan to get potential contenders (Brendan more to see if he can put his enthusiasm for the other celebs into maybe enthusiasm for his own again), beyond that, I don't think Tristan would necessarily enjoy a ringer (also I'm still not that convinced by him as I think Jamelua should have been better), and I'd be interested to see Gleb with a duffer because I think he'd be good with them and it would hopefully make people give him a bit of a break. |

I don't get why Kristinais due a contender. She had Simon Webbe last year, who on paper is a contender as it gets.
then before Ben Cohen who could have been a dark horse (and she did pretty well with him), and four years ago Jason Donovan (another who was pretty good). Even Daniel O donnell wasn't a complete duffer more of middler that was expected to do better than he did. And I don't get Brendan deserving a contender either. Of the stablished pros, only Natalie I think deserves a contender. (And I say this as a completely neutral opinion regarding Natalie, I don't have a bad opinion at all of her, just not as high as everyone else's in this forum.) |

Kristina had the boybander only last year. She didn't take the chance, nor did she with Jason Donovan. Why is she due another contender?

and the same applies to Karen. She is lovely, but i really think a contender would be wasted with her. |

That's exactly my point. She has had contenders, potential dark horses and middlers, not sure why she deserves a contender.

New Poster's thoughts
Aljaz- Middler/Bubbly Partner: Was good with Alison so the producers may take this into consideration.
Anton- Duffer- He was rubbish with Katie, sorry! Brendan- Contender- One last chance to see if he should be kept on the show. Will he be more interested if he got another Lisa or Sophie? I hope so because I haven't been impressed with his attitude to Sunetra or Kirsty. Giovanni- Middler/Contender- If you look at Pasha and Kevin, Runner ups on their first year normally get a contender the following year, and I would like to see him with someone good again. Or a middler with potential like Anita. Gleb- Who knows???- He could go either way. How would he do with a DVO or Natalie Gumede ringer?, How would the Gleb Specials fit into a Widdy or Nancy Routine? Janette- Duffer- She's had 2 good dancers in a row so should be at the back of the queue for a Male Contender. Plus like Karen she should be good with the Comedy Contestant so I would like to see what she could do there. Joanne- Contender- Why keep pros like Ola and Kristina and waste a Ballroom World Champion with a dud and then no partner. Deserves an actual chance. Karen- Duffer- As said above she is better with the duffers. Keep her and Janette with the duffers and it should be great fun. Kevin- Duffer- 3 finals in a row??? Where's Widdy's identical twin??? I actually think he would handle a duffer well and people's opinion (mine included) of him would change. Natalie- Contender- It's really her time for a real chance. With her time on the show likely near an end, I would give her a Jay or Louis Smith type that is likely to win and then she can leave on a high. Oti- Middler- She's near the front of the queue for a contender, but someone who doesn't have a dislocated shoulder and is a half decent dancer would do it for me! Pasha- Middler- Served time with a dud but has had his share of contenders in the past few years so Middler for him. Tristan- Contender- He's been great with duds both here and across the pond. I like his relaxed way of teaching and think that with the right type of contender, he would do well. Jamelia was too controversial and not a very good fit for him. |

Aliona should get a duffer - probably one that is actually dead. Give Craig something to really complain about.
Kevin should get a Ringah - get to his 4th consecutive final and lose again. Natalie should get Nigel Farage and then spend the entire series telling us what a lovely person he is. Oti should get Idris Elba and confuse the hell out of all the racist voters with ovaries.

Anton was brilliant with Katie and proved he can do something amazing with contenders and finalists he should get another finalist in the upcoming series
Anton got through based on the whole "Anton's never got this far in the competition before" storyline they were forcing down our throats. And I say Anton specifically because it wasn't about Katie reaching the final, it was all about Anton reaching the final. |

What you said is total rubbish. they were in the top half of the leaderboard more than half the time and were top week 4. If he wasn't good she wouldn't be able to dance to that standard. also if he wasn't good with her then they wouldn't have got to 4th place or to the final. he would have finished where he usually does around 9th but he didn't with Katie. At least there is evidence and validity to my point and the same can not be said for yours and that's the end of this discussion since I'm right and your wrong and I know what I'm talking about
