I do not appreciate either Natalie or Karen, and wouldn't miss either if they didn't come back next year. One of them is too desperate to be interesting and the other is too fake-gushing over dance partner.

Anton, Brendon, Kevin, Neil (as long as Katya stays), quite happy with the female pro dancers but I wouldn't miss Karen or Jannette.

If it gets rid of the dreadful Jonathan Platero's AT & Salsa choreography then Oksana needs to go.

I'm happy with this line up. I'd like the pros all to stay, and only change to happe if the pro wants to leave.

Exactly the same here.

I'd love to see the back of Janette and Karen too. They add nothing in dance terms.

My perception of the professionals usually depends on the relationship they build with their celeb partner and the natural chemistry that emerges.

Example: Karen Hardy and Mark Ramps....LOVED. Karen Hardy with anyone else

Another example: Kevin Clifton and Kellie . Kevin with anyone else hasn't annoyed me at all.

Yet Another example: Aliona with Jay .....my favourite dancing SCD partnership ever. Aliona with anyone else complete flew under my radar. Didn't bother me at all but didn't wow me either.

So I think what I am trying to say is I am happy for any of them to hang around because potentially any of them could have a partnership that sizzles.

ETA. Just 2 more examples:- Couldn't bear Brendan until Sophie came along. I adored them together. Anton has been grating on my nerves since series one and yet I found his relationship with Lesley this series completely charming.

Every year I say Anton but this year I found him quite bearable and actually enjoyed his partnership with Lesley.

Kevin can stay for all I care provided he gets a no hoper next year.

Natalie was always my favourite female pro but I've found her disappointing this year.

I don't think I'd miss Giovanni much.

Giovanni and AJ have been my least favourite this year. Janette annoys me as well but reckon she'd be OK in a role on ITT (hopefully to replace Karen Hardy)

You must be kidding!
They have been using Neil as a back-up dancer - him, a world champion! Ridiculous misuse of his talent and energy.

AJ, Katya, Brendan, Janette and Anton I would lose next year. Would keep the rest.

I'd ditch

Karen and Janette for sure and Brendan actually

Kevin's problem is he has never been properly challenged with a bad celeb for 4 years and handed the finals on a plate - I'd keep him, but couple up the pros more fairly

I'd lose Brendan, Giovanni, Janette, Natalie and Pasha. I would include Anton usually but I enjoyed his partnership last year with Katie and this year with Lesley.

I *really* don't like Janette, but I doubt Aljaz would stay without her, so...

Oksana was dull, and Giovanni is trying so hard to Vincent Simone and falling so far short, he really needs to go.

Brendan has been phoning it in for years. I liked him for ages, but he's clearly bored now. Let him go.

Other than that, I'd be happy to see them all back, yes, even Anton!

I love a ginger but find him irritating. And a camera botherer in the extreme but maybe he would calm down if he was on the show.

Oksana (find her snooty), Karen (can't take to her but don't know why). I'm in the minority as I love Giovanni. AJ will grow. Those two for me are must stays. Pasha I'm bored with and if Anton and Brendan go, its time to call it a day.

AJ - Bizarre how he manages to make every word coming out of his mouth sound so unnatural.

Jannette - Awful teacher and sick of seeing her front and center of every pro dance.

Anton and Brendan - Just not very good, it's embarrassing how much newer pros coming in have showed up their complete lack of creativity.

Kevin - Irritating

Karen - Ditto.

I'll reserve judgement on Chloe and Neil until they've had a chance to make an impression based on seeing more of them than just background dancers.

Giovanni - really gone off him this season, extremely arrogant
Oksana - I actually think Rinder could have done better with someone else, she's seems very reserved.
Karen/Janette - the weakest dancers for me

However, wouldn't mind if everyone stayed. Katya has been an amazing new addition and would like to see her and Neil in the spotlight next year,
