I dont know about you lot but I think it is our duty both to thank Karen for being so wonderful herself this series an even more for being so wonderful for and with Bill.
And also to make it know she should be back again for series Four so we can see her wonderful coreography, and interaction with her partner.
She is one of the ones who shows genuine love for what she is doing and for the competition and I for one love her.
Also very brave of her to come back after retiring and after having a baby.

Seconded. She's funny, fab and popular. We need her back.

Completely agree. She's been a real asset to the show this year, and I would definitely like to see her again next time around.

Her choreography has been wonderful, her methods and attitude a joy to watch. She seems like such a lovely person, I was so so touched by her on Saturday night when she was struggling not to cry (something which typically sets me off!!), it would be a disservice should she not come back again.

Hear hear.....she brought the "dancer" out of Bill....which I consider to be no mean feat. I always loved her in the group dances the pros did at the end of the shows. She always looked bubbly and fun. Let;s have her in the next series

I totally agree

Can we have Bill too?

Still very upset, but chin bravely in the air like our much missed Bill, yes Karen you're magical and an absolute star. The show is already not the same without you, so it's impossible to imagine the next series without you.

LOL PeachUK, YES YES can we have Bill as well. I keep hoping that it was a terrible collective nighmare that we've suffered, but no, it's true.

Oh, yes please, producers - Karen's choreography has been fantastic, and her upbeat attitude has been so good to watch. And best of all, her partnership with Bill was wonderful. I's love to see her back again

I have to admit when I saw the result... I just didn't know who was going or who was staying.. I was in shock... On other weeks.. the people going have just kind of shrugged and thanked each other... Bill & Karen just held onto each other and said nothing...it was so emotional... is so emotional...

When Bill almost broke down in his speech.. and when he kept saying to her 'It's all right baby' on the floor, I was crying constantly. Have never done that for any other couple who's gone out in this series or the last even when I've really liked them.

He's so lovely.. and so is she.. what a guy! What a gal! It's usally the professional picking up the celebrity.. and he was the true gentleman.. she's protected him and taught him and looked after him for this many weeks.. for him to turn around and be the one caring for her was/is so touching..

He's absolutely wonderful. In that moment, his first thought was for somebody else. I'm sure that when this series is over, he'll be remembered more than whoever wins it.

He is the peoples champion... and I'm thinking I maybe said something like that in my message to him last night?!?

Hear hear. He's the best, a real gentleman. I think there was a lot of love out there among folks watching at home for Bill.

Which makes the result even more inexplicable

Aww, I agree! She's lovely, and very pretty and talented. It was so sweet what he said about her when they left! I don't really think they should still be in, myself, but that's technically-speaking. Personally-speaking, I will be sad not to watch them next week!

I always want everyone back!! I think 12 couples is too much though. 10 was perfect. Of the pros, I would like:

Camilla, Lilia, Karen, Hanna H & Erin
Darren, Ian, Anton, Andrew & Matthew

For all you Karen fans . . . here's a little something I'd like to share.

Enjoy!

Thanks Becca I really hope Karen does series 4 she is amazing they did not deserve to go it should have been patsy and Anton

I'd like to see her on the judging panel.

I agree she would be great

Thank you. I'm downloading it now.

Too right, she is by far themost charismatic female professional and we as a forum should DEMAND the BBC have her back for series 4.

We need to set up a pertion for her to come back on series 4

I'd certainly like to see her back again next series... I think that watching someone on the second series shows how good or bad they are as a choreographer and teacher.

I think Anton, Erin and Lilia have really proved themselves. Specially Erin - how do you get someone like Julian Clarey, who hates people touching him and cant dance, through to the final?

The jury must still be out on Darren, as he had a difficult job this time - last time he had a pretty easy time really. Brendan is ok but only works well with someone who is already quite good - he struggles to bring the best out of someone the way that Karen did with Bill this series.

I didnt really take to Andrew, but thought Matthew seemed to have the right temprement to help a celeb, and I think Hana H should get another chance too.

As long as Lilia is in the next series too i don't mind

MikeyD

I felt Bill's speech was gushing and over sentimental and as for Karen turning on the waterworks, well really.

Over emotional nonsense. What with Karen retiring early to have a child and Bill's foot, it's been one big sympathy vote from beginning to end.

I don't think Karen's choreography can hold a candle to the majority of the other professionals on SCD.

Sorry if I've upset the Bill and Karen fans, but that's the way I see it.

Professional dancing is a tough life.
