Anton, Brendan, Janette, Karen.

Will never happen.

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.

You forgot lovely Gorka the corker!

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.

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?!

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.

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.

Had to look up both names as never heard of either of them. I hope they can find some better contestants than them.

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

I agree with most of what you say but, for me, the year that I really liked Brendan was with Jo Wood. He knew that she was never going to become a dancer so he was protective rather than competitive with her; he was like a completely different person that year.


I didn't see Chloe on ITT, but Jo was very good indeed. But having won this year, I'm sure she'll be back next year unless she chooses to stay.



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!"

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 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.

Plenty of people want Cliftons and Anton gone actually...

On some forums and some social media sniggering. Most of Strictly viewers don't really care, or they actually like the Cliftons and Anton. Majority of the viewers don't want the pros to lose their jobs.

The oh so gushing Nathalie Lowe

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

I'm not keen either.

That one I can agree on - he just seems like a bit of egoist to me.

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

Agree. I wouldn't be upset if I never saw AJ and Janette again either.

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.

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?

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.

No problem at all with you not liking her style of dancing - what we like is purely subjective and not always related to its objective quality. Jo Clifton is more than 'proficient' - she has been judged a best professional ballroom dancer in this country and the world on multiple occasions, so my take is that it's just a bit silly to criticise her technique unless you actually understand what you are talking about.

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.
