If they were really serious about getting Anton or Brendan to take over from Len, then this year would have been a good year to test them out on ITT and small stints on the main Strictly show talking about the performances. (Don't particularly want either of them to do the job, as I think there are far better and more imaginative options, but career planning and all that!)
Re Chloe and Neil: Neil is already professional and so his status is unchanged. I feel a bit sorry for Chloe but shfe knew it was a risk. Tbh, I am mystified as to why Neil would be happy to do such a low key job, given that as an ex Word Champion he must have lots of other options and he probably had to put other engagements on ice whilst he was waiting for confirmation of his role on Strictly. Unless of course, he specifically signed up to do the choreography because that is what he enjoys (as opposed to that being the best offer he could get) because it is quite an influential role. Also I guess it gives him more time to do other things like lectures, adjudication and continuing his teaching exams. He can still do lectures and workshops but as he is a regularly competing pro his comps and demos are on hold as Katya has a celebrity partner although if for whatever reason she is out in the early stages that may of course change? Neil was heavily involved in SCD 2015 as a choreographer and was in some pro group dances although not being one of the official pros. |

Anton is so popular with the public and I don't think it would go down well if he was dropped.

Sometimes you have to know when to quit. I think the audience would get over it.

Anne you are absolutely right in all your comments. Neil and Katya have just come back from Japan and Neil told me it was their last trip until after Strictly.
He can still do lectures and workshops but as he is a regularly competing pro his comps and demos are on hold as Katya has a celebrity partner although if for whatever reason she is out in the early stages that may of course change? Neil was heavily involved in SCD 2015 as a choreographer and was in some pro group dances although not being one of the official pros. I am hoping for some good choreography and incisive comments on ITT. I agree about Anton, that he is very popular. This forum is out of tune with public on some things. Anton is very much the most recognised and loved pro on Strictly. Hence he gets further on the show than he should do. Also in the papers this morning (well the broadsheets anyway), it is Ed Balls who is getting the most coverage of the celebs and generating the most publicity for Strictly, not this forum's preferred celebs. |

Could you confirm if this is the thread which will reveal the pairings?

It was red carpet last night (there's an account from someone who was there on the red carpet thread) - it's pairing up night tonight. I hope Stig has a flask of coffee to keep them going!

As for Anton being dropped, it wouldn't bother me, his Latin choreography is lousy.

As for the two pros sitting out it wouldn't be fair if it wasn't new pros

< >The only ones he can recognise are Anton ("the old one", as he says) and Brendan ("the one with the big head and curly hair"), ie, the two longest serving pros. < >

I think Neil and Chloe. AJ is surely the only option for tiny, teenaged Claudia?

Have just seen the photos in the daily mail (I know, I know).
All focus on Daisy's braless boobs and Ed Balls' moves. He looked so smiley though. Anton is still bloody good at ballroom. Not all the men are, it's Latin heavy. I did not know Tony Beak had such a hairy chest though ![]() Ridiculously excited now. Thanks in advance for the spoiler. Xx |

It could be Kevin and Karen sitting out.
I mean having 3 Cliftons seems a tad like an overload IMO and Jo sat out last year; having 3 almost seems as though the BBC is endorsing the family ![]() ... although that could just be wishful thinking |
