I wonder. ..did GLEB pulled a Trent
No offense but what family commitment ? I know that his wife really wanted to do the show so maybe tptb said No and she said well my husband isn't coming back then.I wonder if he might end up in the jungle? Doesn't that run just before strictly starts? I can't see him agreeing to be off the telly( I think he likes the camera too much! ) unless he's got something else lined up.

I agree. Family commitments haven't stopped him from taking part in celeb master chef.

Hopefully this is Antons last year. He's a nice guy but his Latin isn't great, there's so much wasted potential with the partners her gets.
I'd love Joanne to win while Kevin remains a runner up. Or better, he comes dead last

Hmmm. I do know James Jordan would be hacked off because he's been trying to get on IAC for the past few years

Devastated about Gleb as he was my favourite I really will miss him. Glad we're getting Giovanni and Joanne back though and the three new pro's look gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing what they can do. And please please please give Jo a decent celeb this year!!!Quote:

I can't see him agreeing to be off the telly( I think he likes the camera too much! ) unless he's got something else lined up.I've no idea what Mr and Mrs Gleb's visa status is, but perhaps it just isn't possible for the whole family to move here for the duration unless Elena's on a work contract too. I'm not suggesting the BBC should ever be held to ransom by a pro, but I could see a scenario whereby both parties have reasonable perspectives on the situation, but which are unfortunately incompatible. If Gleb couldn't forsee a way of being with his family and being on the show, then that's an impasse. All of that said, backstageone hinted at 'ego' issues being at the heart of it, and Gleb 'getting fresh' too early on (whatever that means), so I guess he probably over-estimated his value to the show and they wouldn't give him what he wanted. Whether that was a job for Elena, more money, more control - or whatever - we can only speculate. |

its on a thursday at the Royal Albert Hall so I doubt it would be an issue either
But it isn't a case of a competition lasting only so long, it is the hours and hours and hours needed for coaching, learning choreography, dress/costume fittings, and mostly practice practice practice. Most pro dancers will practice anything up to 8 hours a DAY. If you think Strictly is hard work for pro dancers, it is nothing compared to what the top dancers do to prepare for competition, which is why I'm really sorry the Jones's are involved in Strictly. |

I'm hoping Natalie and Oti get ringers and Kevin gets the dufferest of all duffers.
Very happy that Aljaz Natalie Oti Pasha are back ![]() I look forward to getting to know the newbies, that is what It Takes Two is for! Love that show. ![]() Kevin needs to have the worst dancer there has ever been on Strictly.

I hope at least two more professionals are revealed as I'd like to have 16 or more couples this year.

I'm so glad that Kevin is back!
I love his enthusiasm and how well he gets on with his celeb partners and he is definitely my favourite pro.

First rounds are on in Brentwood on the Tuesday and Wednesday depending on ballroom or Latin.

I am also sorry that Katya has become a pro as I feel her competitive career will take a back seat - which is a real shame but I guess she has thought about it long and hard and its her decision |

That would have been a black mark. |

Glad to see the end of Gleb. He spoilt Anita's chances last year when he jus created a series of show dances. I won't really miss Tristan I wonder if Poppygate sealed his fate.
And all is well with the world (well my world!) with the return of Pasha, who hopefully will get a decent partner this year Do we know what sort of height the new ladies are? |

Oksana's very small - maybe 5'2" (if that). Since Neil is pretty short, I'd think Katya is also - 5'3"? But both Ola and Kristina were about the same, and Aliona maybe 5'5", so not much change really.
I read that the Spanish guy is short, replacing 6'1" Gleb and 5'11" Tristan, so that might be a problem. I also think London didn't really suit Tristan's wife, whose connections are in Sydney and Los Angeles, and with their new baby, just born in April, I don't think London would have worked out well at all for his family. ETA Sorry - I didn't see Fridgesoup's post when I posted - weird issues with this board! |
