Anton should serve any time remaining with duffers for partners. Katie was wasted on him.

If they are back (and I would be surprised if they are not) both Giovanni and Gleb will likely get a contender. And I think they both "deserve" it as its custom that loosing finalists pros get a contender the following year.
Would make a nice competition:
Oti and Natalie with the male contenders
Gleb and Giovanni with the female contenders.
Other than that, I agree with your list!

Ps. Tristan with a middler. I like him on ITT.

I like that list but I don't think Antia or Georgia were placed incorrectly and I think Antia should have gone in the SF& Georgia 2nd seems right but apart from that I agree unless Anton gets another contender. (im not too bothered as long as he doesn't get a duffer really since he deserves a break from them) and you say middler so that's cool. I agree with all the others you put

They were in the top half of the leaderboard three times (Week 1, Week 2 and Week 4). If you're going to get overly defensive over someone, at least make sure you actually get your facts right first.
I have got my facts right actually because if you actually looked carefully enough you would spot after the Dance a thon in week 10 and in week9 and 11 they were actually in the top half so if anyone needs to get their facts right before posting it's you as a matter of fact and don't just come posting garbage on without checking things. your just jealous that some older professional dancers still have some life in them and can work well with contenders if they are given them. Oh and make sure your sober before you start throwing around accusations about facts being wrong when your points are invalid so it shows you up big time and that's the end of this discussion since Im right and if you cant see and admit that then that's not my issue

I like Tristan too, but I just don't see him getting anywhere on Strictly and he might be happier elsewhere. He doesn't seem to shine as the other male pros do as either a dancer or a character or both, and he's also not one to trade on his looks and whip off his shirt at the drop of a hat. Maybe due to all that he's rarely featured in solo dances and seems to often be stuck in the back during group dances.

... you have got to be kidding me.

Firstly, 5th out of 8 (Week 9) is not in the top half of the leaderboard, 4th out of 7 (Week 10) is right in the middle of the leaderboard (okay, that one could be argued either way) and 4th out of 6 (Week 11) is not in the top half of the leaderboard. You want to try and embarrass yourself with your lack of basic understanding of maths any more?

Secondly, I hate alcohol and have never drunken more than a couple of sips of it at a time in my life, so that's another thing you're wrong about.

Thirdly, why on earth would I have any reason to be jealous of Anton? I like and respect him as a person and as a (ballroom) dancer, contrary to some on here.

You, on the other hand, I have not a single shred of respect for given that you, clearly not being able to think of any well-reasoned, logical arguments, launched an absolutely hilarious and completely inaccurate rant at me which only highlighted just what an idiot you are. But thanks for the laugh - I really needed it today.

This is why i like him so much!

Yeah heard a rumour he may be going and TBF I wouldn't be too disappointed don't think he has made much of an impact or had a time to shine on SCD or DWTS too much
