The Strictly buggers had better invite him back next year, if only so we can chart his progress in perfecting a leetle more his English.

He's been a great addition to the show, easy-going, hard-working, very gorgeous, focused on the basics, a great teacher, a great partner, a fabulous dancer, a little emotional, a strong competitor... And he took the Len drubbing on the chin. Could have been humiliating for him but because he responded in a dignified and professional way, he turned it into a positive. He choreographs to focus on Georgia too rather than himself.

Come back Giovanni!

Love the man, his choreography has been amazing and (rumba excepted) was bang on the dance required.
I would also vote for a return

Can I start a "Come back Gleb" thread complete with little Russian flags?

Sorry, don't get the Giovanni love. I'm sure he's a nice bloke, but I find him a little bit arrogant.

I think all 3 newbie pros will be back. We know Ola won't be but I wonder if anyone else will be dropped? One of the veterans Brendan or especially 50-year-old Anton? Natalie? - I was surprised she didn't get Thom last year and then they follow on with yet another old guy this year when Jay was tall enough - not a good sign

If Aliona wins again, will that be when they let her go, a la Camilla and Flavia?

If Aliona and Janette can get a second series after the first years they had, then Giovanni definitely can.

(Oti too, I hope) (and Gleb can tag along, why not)

Maybe I'm the only one who finds it ludicrous - but will they really have a series with three pros named Clifton? Hurry up and marry somebody Joanne! Anybody!!

Just to be equal...

🇿🇦 and 🇷🇺

(Is it so terrible, I searched amongst my little icon flaggies repeating 'green y-fronts, green y-fronts' to help me locate Oti's flag )

Why not? Joanne is a very good dancer and will do well with a decent partner.

I'm sure the two guys will be back. Not sure about Oti, did she make enough of an impression?

Surely Anton has to go now? Realistically how much longer can he go on for?

It would be a gross injustice, even by Strictly standards, to drop Oti after giving her one partner with an extreme injury.

Ola and Kristina are definitely gone for next year, but Gleb and giovanni will probably be given a new deal to stay on the show.

They quite simply CAN'T drop the lovely Natalie, I would stamp my feet & throw a tantrum till she was reinstated !!

I think Anton may well give up after this year, hence all the fuss around how far he's got & giving him a decent partner for once!!

Regarding Giovanni , I quite agree OP, he is just what Strictly loves, a top bloke, good solid choreographer & charming enough to work with a no hoper as well as a Georgia!!

Gleb I have loved this year & would really hope to see him back next series!! Not sure what he would make of a Carol Kirkwood, Judy Murray or even worse Nancy Dell Olio though
As for Oti she seems lovely & I would welcome her back again too!!

Finally YES PLEASE to Jo Clifton returning for Ola next series, love her!!!!

You know I'm going to agree with all of the above

As for the Len thing - couldn't agree more. His first time on TV, few months in a foreign country, new kid on the block - and humiliated publicly. It couldn't have been easy. But you're right, he handled it with class, took it all on the chin and just worked hard at packing content into the next dance. But I was also impressed by the way he still defended his dance and said that for him it was an amazing dance and he was proud of it and that Georgia did so well.

and obviously, I agree with you sometimes, I forget that Giovanni is only 25, anyway, I look forward to seeing more of him next year

I've loved all the new pros this year, they brought some much needed fresh blood - especially Gleb.

He did say on ITT that he would like to come back so fingers crossed. I didnt like him at first but over the last few weeks hes really grown on me. No Anton next year please. Not too bothered about Gleb but would like to see Oti.

Yes definitely Giovanni should come back and also Gleb. I think Oti was rather unlucky and I'm hoping that she'll be back too.

Absolutely Gio to come back. Brilliant addition to the show and he has proven himself to be a fantastic teacher, mentor , choreographer and dancer with oodles of charisma and personality.
