This year, Tameka, Lesley and Melvin (if he had been with another pro - I like Janette but none of her celebs seem to improve much technically)
In past years the only one I can remember thinking it was a shame when they went out was Jimi Mistry. |

I think it was a shame Melvin went out so early as well this year. It's a shame as he only got to do two routines and maybe would have got better if he had had time to find his feet. Not to be too harsh on Janette but I wonder how he would have done with a different pro. Her celebs never seem to improve. I suppose someone has to be the first out.
Definitely feel Laura had more to give. She did a beautiful waltz and tango but was unlucky to get injured and then get a samba (difficult to score highly on) and then be up against Ore (a finalist at the very least. Definitely feel she could have lasted a few more weeks. |

This year: Tameka - I really wanted to see her Latin with Gorka
Laura - but without an injury - for her jive and elegant ballroom Will Young - so that we would have had a 4 person final 2015: Helen George - so elegant 2014: Pixie Lott (although I wasn't at all a fan of Trent) Earlier series.... has anyone mentioned Austin yet

DJ Spoony who was partnered with an unknown pro (Ola's first year) and who was eliminated purely because of the public vote. His, unfair, early exit, was one of the main reasons why the dance off was introduced to the show in the following year. If he had stayed in, the format may not have been changed.

Helen and Pixie's American Smoothes that could have been still makes me sad.
Also, the unluckiest dancer in the pantheon - Tina O'Brian. Who could clearly dance very well, and got lumped with Jared and his horrific choreography.

Was v sorry to see Helen George go her year. Thought she was the best that series and her Ballroom dancing was exquisite.
Pixie prob left early but then Simon kept on improving and was a great addition to the final. Austin Healey was a shame. Agreed with the rest especially Helen since although I liked Anita generally her Cell Block Tango was bloody awful and she should have gone home instead of Helen. |

Ah I didn't watch it then but have heard about Jared. What was wrong with him? Did he only last one season?

Basically take AJ and the theming that him and Claudia have been saddled with remove the good bits then you're left with Jared - horrid twee patronising theming and he wasn't much of a dancer himself.

Ouch. Poor Tina. Just goes to show how important the pro is to the partnership I guess. How long did they last?

Simon deserved his final place but Mark Wright didn't IMO.
Agreed with the rest especially Helen since although I liked Anita generally her Cell Block Tango was bloody awful and she should have gone home instead of Helen. Yes he 100% should've been out earlier.

I think the comparison is unfair. Tina was older than Claudia and more womanly and the twee routines that Jared gave her seemed to reflect his religious views. AJ seemed to be saddled with a lot of poor songs to choreograph routines to and had Claudia's parents sat in the audience every week it seemed. Tina and Claudia do not compare so we cannot comment on how AJ would fare with a Tina equivalent.

Series 5
I can hardly remember it but I'll say Kelly Brook Series 6 John Sergeant! Series 7 Jade Johnson, sad she got injured Series 8 Tina O'Brien, she was actually good, she just had a **** partner, I could come up with better routines! Series 9 Nancy Dell'Ollio! Series 10 maybe Johnny Ball? This series was more about people outstaying their welcome Series 11 Mark Benton, all the good ones made it to the end Series 12 Pixie Lott, probably should have won Series 13 Helen George, should have been a runner up at least Series 14 Laura Whitmore, gorgeous dancer |
