We know Ola isn't. I think Aliona is done too, perhaps Natalie as well and even if she did come back she is resigned to duffers now.
Who else - Kristina? Anton? Len??

Okay so who is not coming back next year?

Ola. Kristina. I adore her, but think Aliona might walk. How does she top being the first to win twice? I'm not sure Natalie will do more than one more year. I feel like Brendan and Anton will cling on until the end of time.
I think the pro line up will look very different next year.

I hope Anton goes, I'm sick to death of his smarminess (if that's a word) and he can take Len with him. My worst nightmare would be Len retiring and Anton taking his place with the judges.
I wonder if Tristan will be back, he hasn't really made an impact, either with a duffer or someone with some potential. I do like him though. I think all three of the newbies will be back though and I can't see Anton or Brendan bowing out unless pushed, they need the show to help sell tickets for their tours.
I think some need to go: personally I'm tired of Anton. Also, Len's really grated on me. He's brought the most negativity to the panel. I'm so sick of him reacting to the booing. Apart from that nothing should change.
I hope Tristan comes back. Something about him just didn't seem with at all. He was far too laid back almost like he didn't want to anywhere.

same. I think Anton wants it but it would be a big mistake

It's OK, we'll give you Darcey's seat , then your happiness (and our misery) woudl be complete!!
I've loved all the newbies. Keep feeling like they don't want Gleb back based on the way he's been treated (comments on his choreography and under marking) but hope not
Personally I would like to see all the judges go. I think this year they haven't been consistent and there have been two situations when they have been accused of fixing.
I really think next year they need new blood on the panel.
As far as dancers are concerned. I don't want Anton back. He has had his day and the younger ones are really showing him up now. I also think there are too many Cliftons but I know that wont be a popular view.

BIB: Have you ever been on these forums before? It's one of the most oft-repeated POVs on here.

Yes I have been on a long a time and I am aware a lot of people don't like the Cliftons but there are some that think Kevin is the best thing since sliced bread and after the adoration tonight from certain quarters, I expected a backlash from my comment.
Kristina, Anton might retire, Natalie might go and get pregnant before she can even get a ringah how dare she, I'm surprised Brendan's still around, Gleb doesn't have the greatest track record of sticking around on international versions of this show... so I'm guessing next year's show will consist of Karen Hardy and The Man in the Hat.
When Strictly first started I love Anton and Erin but sad to say Anton has just become a caricature of himself, he's too extreme now. What used to be 'little asides' to make you smile have now taken over completely. The younger dancers are also starting to show him up choreography-wise, he never was crash hot at Latin but now even his ballroom is looking mediocre!
Believe me I never thought I would be saying such stuff about Anton but it's definately time!
I also wouldn't shed a tear if Aliona was to go, never took to her.

I think people expecting major changes to anything are going to be disappointed.
I actually would keep the pro lineup mostly as is - Ola's obviously gone, but Jo can just step in and I think the three newbies have fitted in really well too.

Ola and Kristina gone... Iveta back? Hopefully! Joanne should get a contestant as well really. Out of the remaining pros:
- I think the Powers That Be will leave it in Aliona's court whether she wants to leave the show now
- I can't see why Natalie wouldn't stay (and she's due another contender)
- I'm pretty sure Janette will remain
- I fear for Oti but I hope this is unfounded
- Karen's the biggest cert out of the female pros IMO
From the males:
- Anton might bail out after making the final but I'm pretty sure he'll stay with the show in another capacity
- I think Giovanni and Gleb made enough of an impact to stay on another year
- Is Brendan controversial enough to hold onto? They might give him one more season; especially if Anton goes
- Has Tristan made enough of an impact? I fear not, after 'FixGate' they might want to get rid to remove any reminders of it
- I'm pretty sure Aljaz, Kevin and Pasha will remain

Len ...more wishful thinking on my part.
Anton because I think he has peaked getting to the final and will go out on a high.
Kristina... as I believe the BBC find her a liability when placing her with a male partner, Len has said as much and he is the BBC mouthpiece.

Kristina is fab publicity for the show though, she is a tabloids wet dream in terms of her personal life. Don't tell me the Beeb don't secretly dislike the whole "curse of Strictly" nonsense.
