I think, as you suggested on the MF, that Elena was not offered a contract and that sealed his fate. I'm very sad.
Edit: He was let go. backstageone has confirmed it. Absolutley gobsmacked. Why would they do that?!

Possibly. It's all very last minute though. I bet the Beeb are annoyed about it as they are now a male pro down.

I'm not entirely sure that Elena ever had any intention of doing it. She's choreographing a show/tour at present which is due to be on at the same time Strictly is on. Actually she's been doing it for a while now.
The producers ARE ruthless. They've axed Matthew Cutler, Ian Waite, Brian Fortuna and Lilia and Darren in the past. Matt, Lilia and Darren were former glitterball winners as well. They won't think twice about letting people go when they want to freshen things up. No one is bigger than the show in their minds, but doing so after just one very succesful series is really, really odd and there's has to be more to it. I'm looking into it as we speak. Have a little bird who has inside gossip. Shes the one who told me who the nice and not nice pro's were. I will get back to you on it asap. of course backstageone might tell us first.

The other thing we deduced was that they both prefer America if possible .

I'm getting a bit closer to the truth. My mole is going to investigate for me. Might take a few days though, but allegedly certain people on the show took agaisnt Gleb. This is all hearsay at the moment and the mole isn't really sure if this is the reason though.
Of course backstage one might reveal all before I get the truth.. But he/she does like leaving is dangling. |

Ok well, apparently Len and Bruno were 'very anti Gleb'. But we're not sure if that's the reason he was dropped. Some fishing will be done to find out though.
Anyway, thank you for replying. That backstageone enjoys the power of half-saying things and will not reveal more I believe.EDIT: May be it didn't help that he was dropping the female pros either! |

I'm sure the truth will come out at some point. It does seem very odd that he made a big thing of getting a new VISA, did Celebrity Masterchef and was also in the UK only last week. Why go to all that trouble if you didn't want to come back?

Sounds like it is a combination of things .Len/Ken doesn't like Gleb but wouldn't he have done the backstabbing by now since the decision seems to have been taken within the last few days ? Perhaps Gleb was signed up already (as I read reports of this months ago) and was hoping his wife would be too and when they heard she wasn't....he decided to drop out as it makes no financial sense for them to be apart for 4-6 months.Last year is a one off.He was hoping to make his mark....he did and she was around to support him but you can't be apart every year.His daughter needs a steady home life .If they were both signed up...financially they are able to move themselves here.
So maybe SCD didn't want to sign her up at Len's insistance....the old goat. |

Well, then .... I'm glad we got the spoilery warning, I was prepared for this. And even thought of the silver lining: no disappointments with possible bad partnerships or early outs. Can watch as a neutral, which is much less stressful.
As to the reasons ... I can imagine he might've negotiated hard; even without Elena in the mix, I could imagine him making demands so as to make it worth his being away from his family so much. Beyond Elena or money, he might've made demands regarding artistic control or choice of celebrity-- the favoured DWTS pros enjoy special status and he might've wanted that as well (understandably so, seeing how much of a splash he made in his first season and on the tour). Would fit in with MF poster's comment about ego. Wonder what he will do next? |

backstage one has hinted that he may have bargained too hard. Apparently he got 'too fresh' too quickly well to me that means trying it on with someone in a suggestive manner, but I'm guessing this means something else. Possibly cockiness? I'm not sure.

Just caught up with the news guys I really am stunned even though we were kind of warned this might be the case. My first thought was that Elena auditioned and hadn't been successful therefore Gleb decided that it just wasn't worth it logistically. I'm going to take some of the "inside knowledge" about his antics with a pinch of salt but I wouldn't be surprised if he had become unpopular with certain people as he kind of stole the show last year. I don't want to be unfair to the new guy but they do seem to have attempted finding a Gleb replacement (he's very easy on the eye) which perhaps suggests they knew a while ago Gleb wasn't coming back. Pure speculation and I haven't had chance to read all the reports and so on so I could be way off there but that's just an observation I made. I do think they will lose viewers although not significantly - I'm not blinded by the fantastical Gleb enough to believe the show can't survive without him . But still, it really won't be the same for me this year.Quote:

See, where I live 34k is a lot of money but I'm out in the sticks so..
![]() Someone on the main forum has suggested I'm a Celebrity, this would not surprise me at all actually and they've had Strictly pro's before. It's also filmed in Australia and only three weeks long. |

Hi Maggie and everyone ,
Still very upset and won't be watching.Never was my thing till Gleb showed up. Its people that make the difference rather than anything and Gleb was it for me and mine. VD.....London being what it is you need at least £70-100k to live in a dump let alone something half way decent.Of course he is saying family commitments and now media is in overdrive about his marriage.I think nothing is wrong there but as Josh has said...he is looking long term.They need to be together not apart for 4-6 months a measly £30-35k. Frankly I am livid with the BBC and SCD.And to put it in context....Wayne Spud Rooney is on £350k PER WEEK plus millions in endorsements and when was the last time he or any of his team put a goal in the net.My mom says she could get it closer in...lol ![]() and when it flies off into orbit they look really as if to say.....how did that go over.................... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Didn't want ruddy Brexit.Sick of it....world is a smaller place now and sick of small minded people.I wanted to go to Madrid to study and work......so many obstacles now.Only good thing is the Vikings beat Spud and his gang and hope to see Gleb on MC. |

HI everyone - Chou, Vodka, Josh, Gaga and Melissa ... I'm so disappointed and it's worse that Gleb wanted to return but was rejected for whatever production reason. Can't say I have much enthusiasm for the next series and like Melissa I feel meh about the new guy. To make matters worse Gleb is still not on MC tonight!
![]() I'm just grumpy. |

Someone on the main forum has suggested the sexy calendar may have been to blame. The new rules in the contract suggest that the pro's are not allowed to do anything to manipulate the public vote, and I think that something like a calender could be classed at that.
