With all the dancers leaving particularly on the female side I would say that all who want to come back will come back. I'm sure that Jo will return with a Celeb. I think Oti will as well, I think it would be fair to give her a second chance with somebody who has two working arms.
I wouldn't mind Anya Garnis being asked back, I know that she has being part of Jason Gilkison's choreography team.

[quote=Vodka_Drinka;81986936

Disturbingly I saw an article that someone had posted on Twitter where Anton has said he will come back if the producers still want him, and of course we know they bloody well will so it looks like he is returning

I'm assuming Neil Jones as a replacement for Tristan,
.[/QUOTE]

Can't see Anton ever refusing to return if asked - I just hope they go back to giving him a "comedy act" partner; given his Latin, he does not deserve anyone who has potential.

To be honest I'd be disappointed to see Neil Jones as a full time Strictly pro. He and his gorgeous wife are doing really well and it would be a big loss to the competitive world if he gave it up now.

I would also like to see Oti back with an uninjured contender!

I hope they don't push as big a storyline on Anton this year. I wonder if Erin might be invited just to dance a pro ballroom number with him one week, I'd love it if she was.

Less than six months to go! I'm so glad Zoe is returning. I did have a head in my hands moment when I first sort THAT photo. The perils of booze ...

Here's what I think:

Definitely:
Anton
Aljaz
Janette
Karen
Kevin
Pasha

Fairly Likely:
Joanne
Giovanni
Oti

Maybe:
Brendan
Gleb
Natalie

NO CHANCE!
Aliona
Ola
Tristan
Kristina

Wouldn't be surprised to see Neil and Katya Jones, Gleb's wife and maybe even Emma Slater joining.

In terms of returning pros- here are the different types of celebs I want them to get.
Anton- Week 1 exit dud
Aljaz- Middler (This Year's Katie type?)
Janette- Dud
Karen- Comedy Dud (Does better with these types.)
Kevin- Dud
Pasha- Olympic Contender (I know he's had lots of contenders, but he had by far the worst female celeb in a fairly strong lineup last series.)
Joanne- Contender
Giovanni- Contender (Give him another shot)
Oti- Ringer
Brendan- Middler
Gleb- Ringer (Liked his choreo, but I bet TPTB will give him a dud.)
Natalie- Contender

The new ones can get whatever is left. If Emma Slater is in give her a ringer as she's had a lot of difficult ones on DWTS.

Gleb and his wife were in London last week and are both being very cagey about what they were doing there. Lots of comments on Twitter saying that we will find out soon, but we are still waiting. On the appreciation thread we think she had a Strictly audition, she often likes tweets asking if she is joining Strictly.

I'd say Giovanni is a cert to return, ditto Joanne. I can't think why you'd think otherwise really?

Neil Jones is the most obvious replacement for Tristan as he already choregraphs for the show.

It's because Joanne wasn't on last series and in Gio's case, it takes 2 series to get onto the 'Definitely' list.

I think Gio getting to the final in his first series and taking part in the tour has assured his place on the next series. The fact that they kept Joanne on as a 'spare' when they didn't have a celeb, shows that they don't want to lose her IMO.

I might be wrong though.

I really hope Neil Jones doesn't become a regular pro as YET. He is doing well in the competitive world, and still - I think - has a lot more to give. Spending a few hours doing some choreography, or even appearing in some of the pro routines, ties up very little time compared to being a full time pro.

I would have loved to see Iveta back on Strictly, but that seems very unlikely as have read on her Twitter that she is pregnant.

If we were to assume that it's 8 male celebrities and 7 female celebrities this year (keeping up the pattern of extra female/extra male/extra female), then there wouldn't necessarily need to be any new male pros if everybody apart from Tristan returns.

They announced 16 pro's last year, I think Jo was meant to have a celeb.

Someone might have pulled out at the last minute and they couldn't get anyone else. Hopefully they will be 16 this year.

Someone must have pulled out, I am sure all previous series have had an even number of contestants.

I maintain that either the intention was for Jo to never have a celeb, or they were considering having 16 celebs but decided to stick with 15, not that somebody dropped out - they'd surely have had a substitute ready, as a celebrity dropping out would have affected how many weeks the show was on for.

I agree with Kaycee about Neil Jones - if strictly is lucky enough to get him as a pro, I hope its not for a while. If anyone's enjoyed his appearances on strictly I recommend youtubing him for a bit. His dances with Katya are so entertaining. He cracks me up on instagram too.

Both Vincent and Flavia have apparently been contacted by the BBC to return to the show.

But from reading that article, it's obvious that they have no intention in of coming back. So that's a non story.

I guess the story part is that Vincent is saying the producers would like them to return. I adored Vincent and Flavia but they've moved on now and good luck to them.
