Get rid of Anton and Brendan, boring now.
Get rid of Neil, he annoyed me even without a celeb partner. Natalie has been an embarrassment this year and never choreographed a decent dance for Greg. Get rid. Karen, Kevin and Jo can go too, though i could tolerate Jo one more year if i had to. Keep Alijaz, PashPot, Oksana, Oti, Katya and Gorka for sure. |

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. |

I would get rid of Anton and put Kevin in the background, give Neil and Chloe a partner, apart from that, I'd keep all the Pros.

I wondered if they might go for a vlogger like Zoella next year to try to pull in the teenage viewers, they had one on DWTS and I guess AJ would be the ideal partner plus Chloe for a male vlogger.
I agree with others that Natalie has been annoying this year, but I still love to watch her ballroom. I don't mind Kevin coming back provided he gets a duffer Loved Anton this year with Lesley so would be happy for him to be back Wouldn't miss Karen or Janette Oksana and Gorka deserve another year to really prove themselves, especially Gorka I think Jo would leave anyway if she was offered a musical stage role

Cliftons I, II and III.
However I would like Jo Clifton to replace Karen Hardy on ITT as I think she's great in that role, authoritative and clear.

Yes, that'd be good, If Karen Hardy wasn't a judge though I'd have them BOTH on Choreography Corner on It Takes Two.

Yes, I'd like to see someone like Zoe Sugg with AJ next year, and maybe Alfie Deyes with Chloe or someone like that, wouldn't it be funny if they both competed?!

Top of the list; Karen and Janette.
Closely followed by; Joanne , Anton and Giovanni. I think camera hogging/gurning Neil could become irritating quite quickly, but as he was only a backing dancer he gets spared. Best pro dancer of the year; Oti |

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. Quote:
I seem to remember that both Joanne and Chloe have done a far better job on ITT when they have stood in for Karen Hardy. Able to analyse and explain things very well and without any gurning or arm waving.
I'm not overly impressed with Janette, but as others have pointed out, if she were to go, Aljaž would leave with her. I'll keep her for the sake of keeping Aljaž. Natalie disappointed me this year but I have a feeling next year will be her last anyway (I would have said this year, but apparently she signed a 2-year contract) so keep her for another year, give her a real contender, and let's see how she does. I'd happily see Anton leave, but he fills a certain spot and I actually liked him with Lesley this year. I don't see the powers that be getting rid of either Anton or Brendan, unless they themselves want to leave. I'd like to see Kevin to stay another year and get a duffer. Not because I particularly dislike him or think he 'deserves' a duffer, but because I'd like to see how far he can bring a less able dancer. Karen got a bit of a raw deal this year with Will pulling out, so I think she should be back next year, although I must admit I preferred her with Hairy Dave and Jeremy Vine than with Nicky Byrne and Mark Wright. I wouldn't mind AJ staying another year, provided Tess, Claudia W and everyone stop treating him and his partner like children. That wasn't his fault, it was down to the producers' determination to pigeonhole everyone regardless of their wishes, or even the truth (gymnastics training did not make Claudia F an experienced or trained dancer, no matter what Len said), but I'm not sure I could cope with another year of "Aww, aren't the widdle children cute!" |

I don't want Jo on choreography corner. Yes she is much better than Karen in her demo's etc but she is massively biased towards Kevin and Karen .. also Janette etc. Unless they go I don't want someone with family ties critiquing the couples. She proved she couldn't be impartial (both on choreography corner and the live show) during last year's semi finals. We don't need anyone else shoving Kevin down our throats. ITT is at capacity with that one already.

Anton had a good year with Lesley he has things yet to give, Neil deserves a chance he might not mug so much with something to do and all of the people who've voted for Greg's dances on best type of each dance of the series would disagree with you about Natalie as would I. I think the fact that Jo just won would indicate that not everyone feels as you do and Kev's one of the few pros the proverbial man in the street would recognise - I think my dear you are not in the majority.

I'd be happy if Giovanni didn't return. I don't like him at all.

The Cliftons 1. 2 and 3 also Brendon. Oh dear that doesn't leave many Pros left, so doubt that will happen.

Any of the Three C's, but preferably all of them, starting with Jo. She is the fakest of fake things and has a crude technique (I couldn't care less what her creds are). What's with the 'dumb blonde' act this year also?
Kevin's style also becomes coarse when he gets over-excited and full of himself- it became apparent again last night. Nothing wrong with having ambition but their brand of it smacks of desperation, and under the supposed amiability simmers a cutthroat competitiveness. awaits 'Clifton bashing' accusations ![]() |

I'd be very interested to hear what your credentials are to assess her dancing technique as 'crude'. But perhaps instead you would be so kind as to give an example of where her technique is deficient and why so as to educate us - maybe with a link to Youtube or elsewhere. No? I thought not.
Quite simply, I don't like her style of dancing. She is obviously proficient but I find her movements and expression of dance lack a certain finesse, that's what I meant by crude. Just my opinion and observation, but it seems to have hit a nerve. |

Thank you for asking; I studied classical ballet (Cecchetti method) and modern dance a long while ago for about nine years, so whilst not a professional (as you must be) I do have an eye for dance - will that do?

Brendan. He used to be my one of my favourite pros, but I didn't like his attitude at all this series. He really can't be bothered any more.
Karen, because I don't like her choreography much, or her style of dancing. |

I wouldn't be bothered about any of them going actually. I don't want anyone to go but I wouldn't be bothered if they did.
