secconded!!!

Keep the pro's the way they are unless they want to leave by choice! I've become pretty attatched to them and to be honest if most of them left i'd reconsider watching strictly

I don't want any of the pro's to go even the ones I don't like!

I agree with the people saying get rid of the sunday show but not the dance off.

I personally would love to get rid of the dance off

I think its pointless and the judges certainly do not just judge on what they have just seen performed in front of them in the dance off - regardless of what they say

I agree with you Bex.

don't we already have that, with Len and Bruno, then Arlene and Craig, the panto Dame

well said *sends virtual hi-five*

Yay, never had one of those before
Backatcha Bex

haha!! thats so true!!

you're welcome, it was well deserved!

I'd rather keep the Sunday show & lose the dance off!

I think i'd loose both, the sunday show was really flat, and the dance off was a farce as we all knew who was going and who was staying.

it was just a good way to get rid of the rubbish people
but it often back fired

personnaly i hated the dance off but loved the sunday show!!

Hated the dance off as someone said the judges didn't always judge the performance they ahd just seen but i loved the sunday show because i got SCD two nights it a row and also sunday night tv is really bad in ym opinion so SCD was the only thing to watch!!!

I'd still rather go with the whole thing on saturday night AND have an SCD show on sunday night but from a backstage perspective...Can't be that hard to do surely?

what i meant is i wanted all the dancing and results on saturday but like pro dances or backstage like you said on sunday!!

Truth is Zoe I could, and often do, watch these guys every night, and I dare say I'm not alone...

Maybe we could nationalise them or something to stop them escaping!!!

good idea!!!

I don't mean to replace all the Pros, but the show should certainly replace one male and one female Pro, preferably two.
Picking up hints here and there I believe one male and female Pro will not be returning for the next series.

Maybe the pros have mentioned they want to go.....or their contract is up......

Personally, I'd quite to see a couple of changes in the pros, not because I dislike any of them, but to retain some freshness. I didn't quite enjoy the last series as much as before although that may also be because I wasn't so keen on the selection of celebrities in the last series either.

I would like to see one or two of the judges changed as well because I think they have got complacent and have started to believe the show is about them.

I do respect the views of those who don't want to make any changes to the line up though. It all comes down to personal opinion in the end.

I don't know about changing the pros, the older ones have fans that won't like having them go. And whether you like or dislike a pro some of them make people talk (e.g. Brendan, love him or hate him at the start of the series he's usually the one everyones complaining about ). Judges the same really, but it would be nice to get rid of one of them.

I would get rid of the dance off though. In theory it was a good idea, we want the worst to go every week. But in practise it'll never happen. The worst dancer every week ain't usually voted into the bottom 2 so the judges can't kick out the worst anyway.

Now that would be fun...

But I think the BBC like being able to keep the results at a time when kids can watch etc.

I liked the Sunday show for the extra dancing we got to see.


I think it actually makes it LESS likely, esp in early weeks, that the worst ones will go - people vote twice as much if they are fans of people like Kate, because they KNOW that they not only have to avoid the bottom spot, but in fact the bottom two.

It depends where the priorities lie - if they are truly thinking "how can we make sure the best couples stay in" then they pretty much have to lose the dance off IMO, as it was completely counterproductive - we had shock exits this year anyway and I'm convinced it made little difference except if anything keeping bad dancers in longer. But if the producers want to create controversy and get people watching, then I can't honestly see them NOT keeping it, as it's STILL causing controversy

Before the dance-off some "exits" of celebs could be suprising, bizarre, irritating and downright infuriating...

With the dance-off I felt I could add the word dishonest to the list. It's probably over-reacting but the judges constant moving of the goalposts didn't help my confidence in them one bit.

I don't dislike any of the pros enough to want them out - but I do get tired of seeing Anton's partners voted through week after week - and why does he always get the mature ladies, ok I suppose Kate isn't that old, and Lesley wasn't in her dotage, but he never gets anyone like Louisa or Alesha.

He got a pretty good partner in Patsy, drama school girl and young. I suspect he gets the older partners because the Beeb knows he works well with them, and judging by how he's worked with previous partners his weakness in Latin might hold a really talented partner back.
