|**|-DS' Favourite Professional Dancer 2016 Results Thread-|**|
So after a whopping 116 countable votes and a fair few weeks of voting, this evening I will begin to countdown where/ how DS has ranked this years professional dancers.
In total 15 Pros this year (due to Chloe and Neil not having celebs) and you ranked them from from favourite to least favourite. The points awarded were 1st place = 15pts. 2nd place 14pts until last place received 1pt. The votes have been collated and I can now begin to countdown the Pros. Current Professionals AJ Pritchard Aljaz Skorjanec Anton du Beke Brendan Cole Giovanni Pernice Gorka Marquez Janette Manrara Joanne Clifton Karen Clifton Katya Jones Kevin Clifton Natalie Lowe Oksana Platero Oti Mabuse Pasha Kovalev Voting Thread : http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2188414 Results will be posted over the next couple of days; obviously please discuss the results and moan etc where necessary

15 = Karen Clifton = 573pts
So coming in last place with 573pts is Karen Clifton. Karen debuted on Strictly in Series 10 where she partnered Nicky Byrne and finished in 6th place. She then went on to partner comedy acts Dave Myers and Jeremy Vine. She has made the final on 1 occasion with Mark Wright where they finished in 4th place. She had a big contender this year with Will, however after a few weeks he decided to withdraw from the show. Karen is quite a way off the pack here and finishes nearly 800pts below the winner. |

14 = Janette Manrara = 598pts
So for those thinking it could be an all Clifton bottom 3, Janette finishes just 25 points ahead of Karen and didn't really have the support throughout the voting to really ever challenge to get out of the bottom 3. Janette made her debut in Series 11 alongside fiance Aljaz and didn't have the best start partnering Julien McDonald and finishing in 13th place. She however then had 2 good runs with both Jake Wood and Peter Andre, however has yet to make a final. This year she partnered Melvin and were the first couple of exit the competition. |

13 = Joanne Clifton = 644pts
Next up is this years winning pro; Joanne who managed to escape being the lowest ranked pro/ Clifton, however it was close at times. I think as the series went on Jo seemed to climb a fair bit up people's rankings. I like Jo and whilst she can be OTT at times I think she means well and some of her choreography was great this year. She has only had 2 celeb partners in 3 years having last year off and whilst her first year was a comedy turn, this she managed to clinch a victory with Ore over favourite Danny Mac. |

Surprised Kevin wasn't in the bottom three!

12 = Brendan Cole = 675pts
Next up and escaping the bottom 3 is one of the longest serving pros alongside Anton who has been in every series. We've seen Brendan change a lot over the years in terms of anger/ cockiness, however despite a mammoth 14 series Brendan has only clinched victory once in the first year with Natasha Kaplinsky. He have featured in 2 further finals with Lisa Snowden and also Sophie Ellis-Bextor. This year he partnered Anastasia and it seemed something wasn't wholly right and it was more evident when Anastasia partnered Gorka. My personal opinion is that he has passed his prime and really is possibly time for him to exit. |

11 = Kevin Clifton = 714pts
And rounding out the bottom 5 is the last remaining Clifton who was a fair way from breaking into the top 10. Personally I don't have a problem with Kevin as a person, more that he has had nothing but wringers or BBC personalities that have been pimped throughout his 4 year stint. Which isn't his fault, but is frustrating when you see other Pros floundering series after series with ropey celebs. Still Kevin has made it to the final every year and has always finished in the 2nd/ 3rd area never managing to actually clinch a victory. Be interesting to see who he gets next year and if he can steer them to victory too. He is the top ranked Clifton though... which I guess is something

So Jo who is the winning pro this year is third from bottom in this poll?
Does that make sense , she skilfully took somebody with no or little dance experience and made him a winner. I'm not saying she should have won but third from bottom makes little sense. |

Also the winning pros/pros that generally do well aren't always popular here anyway. Kevin's the most obvious example but if you'd taken a poll after/during Series 9 I doubt Aliona would be very high up (less so during Series 13). |

Possibly because her choreography lacked sufficient dance content.

A lot of the voting was done quite early on when Joanne's choreography was at its most erratic (tango, cha cha and to be honest I thought the waltz she put together was pretty terrible). Given that Ore was very low in the vote at least twice if not more his popularity and how skillful Joanne might look was inconsistant anyway.

OK that makes sense it explains why I missed this poll when it was taken. I started coming on here in the run up to the US election because it seemed more condusive to sanity to argue about things that didn't matter in the great grand scheme of things rather than things that did with the type of dudes that get MRAs a bad name many of whom were Trump supporters. I've stayed here because I still find I'm less likely to lose the will to live that way.

She's a former World Champion in ballroom. Yes she did not get it right in the early dances. But there was nothing wrong with the three dances produced in the final. The showdance was perfect for Ore.
With oddly enough, two very early flashy successes repeated for the final. |

Personally I hope Nat wins but her (and Pasha) were a bit marmite iirc from others lists since some people found them annoying/cold in their partnerships this year.
