Anton - He has got on my nerves since day one, I can't stand him

Karen- Totally full of herself and extremely irritating

Joanne- She acts too babyish at times and I'm not keen on her latin dances

AJ- Loves himself too much

Natalie- She has only annoyed me with Greg this year, it was embarrassing the way she fawned over him.

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,
Yes please!

The Clifton hate used to annoy me and I really liked Joanne but after this series I wouldn't miss any of them if they left. But Kevin can stay for 1 more season if he gets someone crap.

Janette, she seems lovely but doesn't excite me as a dancer, choreographer or teacher.

Giovanni, so far up his bum he can probably see out of his mouth and don't like the way he treated Laura in terms of dances (can't comment on behind the scenes cause we don't know)

Brendan, don't hate him but not a massive fan tho he often gets the difficult ones no-one else wants to have to respect him for that

I would have said AJ but he did well in his last few weeks.

Oti, Katya and especially Oksana have done some amazing and original routines and have to stay
Neil & Chloe deserve a chance to do the job they signed up for
Pasha & Aljaz can stay, nice guys and good choreographers
Anton is a legend, 1 more series anyway
Natalie is lovely and hardworking, she just needs to watch her parking

I think I forgot at least 1, they can go too, they're obviously forgettable.

If it gets rid of the dreadful Jonathan Platero's AT & Salsa choreography then Oksana needs to go.
Agreed! I'm not a fan of Oksana either really, I wouldn't miss her if she didn't return.

I also wouldn't miss Giovanni, Anton, Brendan or Neil (though if we have to have Neil to keep Katya, then so be it). AJ, Chloe and Gorka I'm not huge fans of, but if they return I won't be too annoyed.

I used to really love Natalie, but I've found her a bit irritating this series, and can't quite put my finger on why. Karen I find a bit overwhelming at times, but she's great with less able partners. I also find Kevin a bit over the top at times, but he does seem to teach his celebs well.

The rest I'd quite happily keep!

Karen and Kevin. So over the top they really annoy me so much. He overdances almost all the time, and when I saw Strictly on Tour Live the beginning of this year, it was so obvious in comparison with the likes of Aljaz, who is just style personified.

Kevin is the only one i don't like and i would be overjoyed if he didn't return. It's not him as a person, or the fact he's been in 4 finals or that he's a Clifton. It's purely down to his dancing style, which i absolutely detest.

Pasha seems past his sell by date.
And the one who likes to take advantage of parking in disabled spaces can get her marching orders too

I like Pasha. So he can stay.

All the Cliftons need to be despatched.

I suppose we will have to keep Janette as she and Aljaz come as a couple!

Definitely keep Oti and Katya.

Otherwise I am not bothered.

Katya, Oksana and Natalie for varying reasons.

Happy to keep

Oti - of course
Natalie - not a great year for her but after she's happily put up with duffers for years I'll give her a pass
Pasha - a quiet year so hope he gets someone good next year.
Katya - Good teacher, very inventive - deserves a stronger dancer
Aljaz - though I'm less keen than in previous years - think he's getting a bit predictable.
Gorka - deserves a good run after this year.
Neil - bit annoying but I like a ginger and will be interesting to see what he's like with a celeb
Chloe - has been fun on ITT.
AJ - surprised by this as I've been pretty indifferent to him but anyone who can produce that Quickstep, at last a pure and thrilling ballroom routine not tainted by gimmicks, and put up with all the aren't you cute stuff deserves another run.

Not fussed
Kevin, Joanne & Karen - They all have their annoying quirks and I can't say the show would be worse for them, though they seem to embrace a strange theme more than the other dancers, but I don't think they add anything either.

Janette - Just a weaker dancer than the others.

Oskana - odd one, didn't like her with Rinder but on her own she actually does seem to have a personality and she's a good dancer.

Giovanni - Don't think he came over that well this year

Time to go.

Anton - feel a bit bad as he came over well this year but he's looking tired.

Brendan - too grumpy, doesn't look like he cares anymore.

The Cliftons can go.

Janette. Not keen.

Anton. Maybe one more series? Don't care either way.

Brendan. He really doesn't seem as if he gives a damn. But I could be persuaded.

Natalie. She was all over Greg like a rash. I wasn't keen on that.

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
What i would say too. Bren is just there now, never excited by him despite some of his stunning dances.

And agree about kevin. I like him but he has been given the same partner 4 years now and i find it totally uninspired. If he had been given Lesley i reckon the people be giving him less of a hard time. Louise should have been with Gorka IMO

Gorka didn't leave an impression on me so wouldn't be bothered if he went

Agreed I quite like Oksana but it's an acceptable sacrifice - I'm willing to let Neil and Chloe prove themselves - Neil looks like he might be quite fun actually.

What's wrong with Katya - the rest I can understand if not agree with but Katya's been great this year.

Funny isn't it the one year when the phrase parking in the wrong bay is not a euthanism

A J. He was only brought in to chase the teeny bopper audience.
Claudia was OK, but next year if he's still employed he might get the contemporary equivalent of a Shirley Temple.

Brendan needs to go even he looks bored.
Kevin as he's so desperate.
Wasn't that keen on Oksana.
Am irritated by Jeanette - I'm not sure why
Have always liked Natalie but she was annoying this time. So she's on probation.
Neil really does look like he may be super annoying but deserves a shot.
Love AJ (I think he is very talented) and Anton - specialists for the younger and older lady perhaps!!
Adore Katya
