I'm worried about Gleb, with the judges always complaining about his choreography, he might leave for somewhere where it's welcomed (unless there are new judges or he decides to hold back a bit)
I recently came across a youtube video of Gleb doing a pro rumba on DWTS that would've given Len a heart attack (full of lifts) that had been choreographed by the man who is now the head of choreography for Strictly. I think they wanted Gleb to choreograph outside the rule book--they need different types to appeal to different viewers.

I think he'd only not return if he got a better offer elsewhere.

I like the pro line up, they seem like a good, professional group, who get on well.

Don't worry. Everyone who leaves will be replaced with a member of the Clifton family

Gleb.
Or not until after he has read the rules.

Aliona - she has said, including yesterday, that Jay has been her favourite partner to dance with and this has also been her favourite series. She has also is the only dancer to have won it twice and maybe will feel she has reached her peak on the show. Who knows, she probably made her decision, prior to the conclusion of this year's show.

Gleb - of the three new dancers, the one who impressed me the least and is known to be a hard taskmaster. Personally, there is just too much showing off.

Len has been dreadful this year, so rude to some contestants, and fawning over others, horrid little man!!

lots of people seem to think kristina is going - i hope not, she's a great dancer, teacher and choreographer.

gleb can go, giovanni can say. oti didn't see enough of to say, so she can have another year. brendan can go, and anton surely must.

I've seen the one I think you mean. But it was a showdance rumba where Lifts and Tricks are all part of it, the sort of dance the strictly pros do when the guest singers are performing.

Can't see the judge line-up changing unless Len decides to retire, replace with Anton/Brendan.

Ola's gone and I think Kristina will go as well.
Aliona may well decide to retire on a high, think she's thinking about starting a family as well.
Otherwise I think the female pros will remain the same, as much as I would like to see them get rid of Janette.

Male pros wise I think Anton will retire but either head to the judging panel or ITT.
I'd get rid of Gleb as well but can't see it happening, I also would like to see Robin return but can't see it happening and they'll keep him for Christmas only now.

Why on earth would you drop Janette?

Need replacing :

Judges
: Darcey needs replacing by someone who actually knows what he/she is talking about.

Guys : Anton must surely now leave, and - although have always been a fan - maybe Brendan as well.

Girls : Janette (she still can't dance ballroom) and Natalie (seems to have lost the "buzz")

Newbies : Gleb - all that playing up to his looks by Zoe & Claudia clearly went to his head.

ITT : Zoe. She's done enough

I find it annoying how she always tries to force focus on her during the group dances plus I find her routines too gimmicky, and in cases this year with Andre, her routines were more a case of covering up Andre's weak points instead of highlighting strengths like Aliona did with Jay.

In saying that she's never had a partner who I've liked so if she did my opinion of her could change

Because she is really bad at ballroom, and her Latin technique of often faulty as well.

Sick of all the judges, to be honest.

Replace Ola with Joanne, but get rid of Kevin and Karen.
Anton and Brendan need replacing now, too. Anton's utter crap who's only role is to get a cheap laugh by having someone useless. He got the final, nice ending, now give him the boot.
Brendan looks utterly miserable being there. He doesn't care, just doing it for the money now.

Tell Tess to stop repeating the judges comments.
Tess will laugh/moan/smile (depending on the type of comment) and repeat what the judge has just said, giving the celeb a squeeze. She'll do this all night, to almost all of the celebs. Please, stop it, Tess - I really like you - but continue this irritating way of hosting and I'll come to the studio and show you the door myself

I would drop Janette too. She is a disadvantage to any celeb partnered with her because her own knowledge and technique lags behind the other pros. I suspect Gleb falls into this category as well but I'm not ready for him to go yet ...

I think Aliona will leave on a high. Also think Krystina and Tristram will be out not necessarily by choice.

If Len was to leave believe they would replace with a credible latin/ballroom judge of which there are many many, do not think they will use a pro off the show
I agree, I think you need someone with a professional judging background to balance out the other judges

I don't get the stick for the judges, they all have their own ideas as to what makes a good dance, and to an extent are playing roles, Len pretending to be grumpy, Craig giving harsh marks to duffers etc

I would like to see the back of Gleb. So full of himself and his looks. Also his routines were all about himself.

That may be true, but I'd still far rather watch her dance any day than Anton, Brendan or Kristina who are all technically better than her. For me she lights up the pro routines, and I really like her personality as well - she seems to have really got on well with all her partners and is very good at distracting from their weaknesses, which works well until the mid-point of the series and which has been essential for all of her partners as she's never had a complete ringer who was willing to put the work in.

Just remembered I left Tristam out of my previous post. I'd like to see him replaced.

Len and Brendan both look like this has been one season too far for them.

Then she can be what Jo was this year. That would be my ideal as she is a great pro dancer and personality. Dancer being the key word.

But most people watching won't even notice her apparent technique. Why do the ballroom purists on this forum not grasp that?

Seeing as she's engaged to Alijaz and they come as a package she won't be going anywhere.

And who the hell is Tristram?
