Here's mine:
Artem Chigvintsev- Ringer-

Karina Smirnoff- Ringer-

Keo Motsepe- Ringer-

Lindsay Arnold- Mid ranger

Mark Ballas- Mid ranger

Peta Murgatroyd- Ringer

Sasha Farber- Ringer

Sharna Burgess- Someone who puts time into training. (Feel really bad for how Antonio treated her.)

Tony Dovolani- Mid ranger

Val Chmerkovskiy- Duffer

Witney Carson- Duffer

If Edyta or Emma are back give them a ringer, If Allison is back, give her a duffer. Same with Jenna if she becomes a pro- make her earn her stripes first.

Artem Ringer
Agree.
Keo Duffer (he had his moment and break this season with Jodie)
No, many other pro's have had good partner back to back (e.g. Mark getting Kristi after Sabrina, Peta getting Gilles after Donald Driver, Maks getting Willa, Laila and Mel B all consecutively etc.)
Agree.
Disagree. He had a really big ringer this season and hasn't had anyone with no potential at all since Bristol in the All Stars. The only bad ones he's had were Kim Kardashian, Bristol and 3 middlers: Shannen Doherty, Kristin Cavallari and Melissa Joan Hart.
No one over 38 either (except Paula Deen in the Switch Up last season)
Maybe, the only BAD one she's had was Ron Artest in her first season (god, he was awful ), but she got Tommy Chong to the semi's and a deaf man possibly to the trophy, so respect deserved. Plus Sharna got Nick after taking Noah to the finals, Peta should be similarly rewarded.
I know, he's had some right old duds over the years, although I'm not 100% sure he's an exciting enough choreographer for a ringer. His journey with Marla was cut short so it would be nice for him to have a break before he returns and gets another NeNe or Wendy or Kate .
No. Just No. He's proved his loyalty to the show over the years and has been dumped in the troupe most of the time. He's had Snooki, who had a difficult reputation and Kim, who could dance but was caught up as a middler in this season's competition.
I'd have liked him with Bindi last season, they seem quite similar (Sorry Derek!)
Fair enough. As long as it is someone who is charming and puts the effort in.
Completely agree!
She had Cody in her first season, and while he wasn't too into it, he was an obvious contender and had the little girls behind him. Simply James Maslow appealed to a wider audience while Cody didn't. Then, Alfonso- huge ringer and a nice MBT to accompany, then Chris- a meh dancer but a big fanbase, then Carlos- boybander- obvious potential and Von- Current MVP.
I feel she really let down Von this season and he would have done better with someone like Karina or Sharna. So each celeb she's danced with has had some attribute that could get them far, hence why I think it's her turn for a duffer.
If Edyta or Derek (by some miricle) return Ringer
Yes, Edyta for a Ringer!!! I don't think Derek will be back next season but if he is, I'll bet he will get a challenge just like he had a big girl (Amber) and a double amputee (Amy) etc. Maybe a septuagenarian to see if he could repeat Peta's success with Tommy Chong? That's not likely though.
If Emma returns Duffer since that's all she's good with
How do you know? Bill E, Billy Dee and Michael W were not contenders in any way, so then onto Redfoo. He could have been good but wasn't the type who appealed to an average viewer and had a bit of an attitude costing him votes and all his mucking around in his Cha Cha pretty much screwed him. Please don't tell me Hayes is a ringer in any way either. No one had heard of him before the show.
What about Karina? Do you think she'll be back next season?

Absolutely.
Karina, Edyta and Emma are due ringers.
Sharna and Lindsay are due middlers.
Witney and Allison are due duffers.

I think they'll keep Edyta to cover while Peta's away as they'll need a tall pro.
That leaves a spot for either Allison or Emma.
The fall season is normally 13 couples, so I think both will get a celeb.

For the men.
Artem, Sasha and Tony are due ringers.
Keo is due a middler.
Val is due a duffer.
I think Mark's out for Season 23, so who will replace him?

Yeah I so want Tony to get a ringer, I think if Marks out maybe they will keep Sasha, if that's the case on what he should get he's had 2 middlers so I find it tricky to place but I would go and give him a shot at a ringer. What are your thoughts Joe?

Yes, they'll keep Sasha and probably promote a trouper to pro or bring back a former pro from previous years.
I do agree that Tony is due someone good. His choreography's not too exciting but I am willing to see him with a good partner.
I really want Val to get a duffer, he's had great partners since Zendaya.
For the women, Witney's due a duffer having won with Alfonso and also had Carlos. Cody also had potential to be good and Von was wasted with her this season so she should get an older guy, like this season's Doug Flutie.
Allison is due a duffer as well. She's had 3 young guys in a row. I know Jonathan was only OK but I think he could have done better if he had another pro. Riker was amazing and then she had Andy, who was also wasted with her, evidenced by his performance with Sharna on Switch Up Week.

Tony deserves a glamorous older ringer; I liked his partnership with Marla, so if they can find someone of a similar temperament, but slightly more popular and slightly ringier, that'd be grand.

Edit: Megan Mullally?

Yes, I would like if he had a break from the duds and got a mature partner that could dance, just like Anton and Katie last year.

Completely agree with the women, but I would give Keo a mid ranger, Tony a ringer and Mark a duffer (but I don't think he'll be back.)
You haven't listed Edyta, do you think she'll be back?

BIB exactly what I want so maybe then Tony can get near the end of the show since he hasn't got past halfway for the last 4 series. Who do you think would fit this criteria I put in bold? Maybe someone like Angela langsby id say?

Karina - ringer
Emma - ringer
Sharna - ringer with time and that she isn't in awe of
Allison - duffer (hopefully not back due to lack of ballroom training)
Whitney - duffer (hopefully not back due to repetitive choreography and not being a great dancer)
Lindsay - don't mind tbh she had a mid and contender so anyone would be fair enough
Edyta - ringer / mid range
Jenna - hopefully not a pro but if she is then duffer earn her stripes
Peta is out she is 19 weeks pregnant with her first child can't see her risking her health by being with an untrained dancer

Artem - ringer ringer ringer
Val - duffer never had one
Sasha - ringer
Mark - challenge would be nice no idea where people are getting the idea he isn't coming back both he and Shirley said he is and he says he wants Lauren the USA gymnast as his partner
Tony - contender
Keo - hopefully replaced by someone who can teach as much as I like him dancing so duffer hasn't done a good job with anyone yet and think Jodie would have done better with Artem or Mark even Val

No difference between Elisabetta and Joanna Krupa, who Derek did well with. Even then, 1 dud in 10 seasons doesn't say much.

That was his first year and she was at worst a mid ranger, could have been better if Val wasn't so new at the time even Mark's duffers like Bristol & Kym were way worst than Val's. If that is an example of his duffers you actually prove my point Artem has had worst and he has only been there 3 seasons and that isn't even mentioning Tristan, Sasha, Tony or even Keo

Artem did have Lea and Mischa wasn't so bad on paper.
Tristan got the raw end of the stick most times he was there, but Dorothy Hamill could have gotten far if she wasn't injured and on SCD, they tried him with a contender but he failed miserably.
Sasha's never had a contender but it depends on height. I hope he gets the gymnast this season.
Tony's older than most of the pros and they pushed him and Melissa to the trophy at All Stars. Even then, Marla wasn't so bad, Leah Remini was a middler, Chynna Phillips and Audrina were pretty good, he had Stacy Keibler in his first season, Jane Seymour and Marissa were good too. Hell, even NeNe Leakes wasn't terrible.
Keo, well, he had a big ringer with Jodie and I think he grew a lot with her, but all the early outs? No one could have helped Lolo, she just had a terrible attitude. Charlotte could have been good but he was too easy with her and Chaka could have gone far as she was a huge name.
That being said though, Val's had clear ringers for about 7 seasons in a row so a duffer is due.

I mean if Elisabetta is the worst celeb Val ever had then he never really had a duffer people didn't like her for other reasons than dancing and she could at least move. I was obviously not talking about Lea
