that doesn't surprise me...
Brendan Gorka Giovanni and maybe even Oksana Those are the ones who have a big ? against their names. I wouldn't even be surprised if AJ's on the list too unless they find another Teen Celeb needing a partner next year. I'm hoping Karen Clifton be on the list too, by all the reports she seems to be a bit of a $hit stirrer & a drama queen behind the scenes. But they want to keep Kevin so I doubt they'll get rid of her *shrugs* |

If you are referring to the article in the Sun that is, as usual, utterly baseless speculation not worth the paper it's written on, never mind factually inaccurate as well.

I'm curious about all the reports saying that Karen is a bit of a $hit stirrer behind the scenes.

it's well documented Karen's spats with Ola, but also recently there have been reports of "confrontations" with one of the new female Pros, I can't remember which.

There was one spat with Ola, years ago. One. Which Ola has been talking about multiple times after. Where are you getting the info about confrontation with a new female pro?

I feel like Pasha might be on the way out.
I know he's had rubbish partners for the past two seasons, but he seems to have lost a lot of his spark. I'd like Gorka to stay, but feel he may be demoted to troupe next year so Neil can get a run out. |

Wouldn't surprise me if Pasha went and Brendan too. People have said Jo may want to concerntrate on stage and having one may now out on top (like Camilla, Aliona etc)
Anton is looking his age so May be interesting with the twins if he stays on or not. |

the whole report seemed made up though they said Kevin does not get on with new pros and that he and Aljaz particularly dont get on - Aljaz is kevs best mate, and same day as article Gorka posted pics of the Musketeers - him, Gio, Kev and Aljaz so would take it all with a pinch of salt |

Ahh. They make up stories though, and Karen with her one spat with Ola is the easy target.
usually there are grains of truth in the tabloid stories - or more likely they're leaked by the show to gain publicity

It was a general comment that Karen did not "get on with dancers including Natalie Lowe."
They also characterised Joanne as "steely, brusque and very confident" - and those are the last words I'd use to describe her, at least from what I've seen of her "periscopes", ITT appearances, and what not. (I might use the words about Aliona but never Joanne). Is it possible they just make things up out of thin air sometimes? Living in the "post truth" era has become quite annoying

I'm hoping Karen Clifton be on the list too, by all the reports she seems to be a bit of a $hit stirrer & a drama queen behind the scenes. But they want to keep Kevin so I doubt they'll get rid of her *shrugs* AJ and Chloe could leave either this next series or the one after - they're really far too young to abandon promising competitive careers for the pro line-up, as a long term job. I think a few more years competing, and they'd likely be welcomed back with open arms. They'd both have much more maturity and experience to draw on anyway. I'd not be surprised to find this is Pasha's last series, he couldn't look less engaged if he tried, but he seems pretty settled, in terms of a UK based relationship with Rachel Riley, so I think he's happy to keep ticking along. He'll not get a contender though! I wouldn't rule out Gorka leaving - all that stuff with Blackpool has left a weird cloud over his head, and I wonder how much he's actually enjoyed it in the UK. I suspect that pro involvement in the show will become a much more revolving door than it once was - new pros doing a couple of years and then moving on, much more like DWTS. It's a very useful way of keeping the show fresh, along with the yearly crop of celebs, without having to tweak the format too much. Len's departure may mean the end of the road for a couple of the old timers, and I don't see that as a bad thing really. |

I can imagine that she is steely and confident with regard to her profession - no idea about the brusque - and I wouldn't have it down as a bad thing. You don't get to be World Champion in anything without a bit of steel and confidence, and it doesn't mean it's the only things you are.
But Joanne strikes me as gentle - or even appearing to lack confidence (despite her success). Oh well, what do I know...As for Pasha, I don't think I've seen any tweets about him doing a tour this year, like he usually does. Wonder what's up with him - and if he'll be back. He seems a bit sad, but maybe it's just the lacklustre partners. I think Oksana is just the sweetest little thing, and I don't think I've ever seen more desolate tears from a pro at the end of a good long run -- that said, she is practically mute. I wonder if it's language issues or extreme shyness - I think the latter, and so, I don't know if she's really popped all that much as a new pro. If not, it's certainly not for lack of Judge Rinder trying desperately to drag her out of her shell - wouldn't you agree, Oksana? |

I'd be sad to lose Pasha because he was my favourite at one time, however as others have said, he's either lost his spark or just can't summon up any enthusiasm after a couple of weaker celebs. I'd love to see Katya back and also Gorka, but I am not sure what the BBC will think about the "Blackpool incident". There's another article about it today, it's clearly not going to go away and it may work against Gorka, even if there's no truth in it.
