I know this series finished only hours ago () but what are people's feelings on the pro lineup for next year.

I'm sure I read somewhere on here that all of the pro's had signed a 2 year contract to upkeep continuity.

If that was the case I can see them "resting" a couple of them for a series and letting Neil and Chloe have a turn at partnering someone.

In my opinion I feel AJ would be one of these as it seems like he was shipped in to perfectly partner Claudia and they may not be someone suitable for him next series.

If the rumours about Ellie Simmonds prove true, AJ might have to partner her out of necessity.

I'd rather they rested pros that haven't performed in the last few series, Or have had more than their bite of the cherry.

Kevin, Janette and Pasha are top of my list for resting. Also Aljaz dare I say it am getting bored of the same thing every year from him.

If we're judging who should be rested on those who haven't performed in the past few series then I think Brendan, Pasha, Natalie and Janette would be top of the list. And some of them are some of my favourite pros, so my biased list would be very different.

If the producers think Chloe has done well with Gethin in the Christmas Special (and I don't mean in terms of result but in terms of teaching and partnership) then I suspect she'll get a celeb. Neil I'm on the fence about, but I want Katya to return so I guess they come as a package.

Whether or not we have a defending champion may well depend on whether Jo decides to focus on the stage...

Could do without Brendan and Nat imo. As much as I love Janette and her partnerships, she isnt the best pro and i doubt she would get anyone to the final. She has really shown great charisma and presenting skills on ITT so i would happily have her have a segment on that.

I would actually like to see Neil be partnered definitely. He has shown great personality during ITT and i enjoyed his stint in choreography corner. He has looked good in pro dances and think he could really have a great partnership with someone.

Chloe, i am a bit indifferent toward at the moment, she hasnt really captivated me, but will see how i feel after the xmas special.
