Hear, hear,
and people who's blaming Hayley for replacemt Nicole, please stop it, Hayley was payed that last night, and her celeb dance partner thank her for the best of his time,
and I find so arrogant compared the world champion(which year) to snowboard instructur, at least Hayley support Mark the best she can,

World Masters Professional Latin Champion, 2000 (see Wikipedia)

Yes everyone deserves a second chance and given a better partner Hayley may well go all the way to the final.

No - prefer Nicole any day!

I don't understand why she's being seen as the one who's replaced Nicole. Why not Kristina?

She's oddly placed, as a ballroom specialist. She gets partnered with Brendan in the pro dances, and him being a Latin specialist, means they don't do solo routines that allow her to make an impact.

Yes hopefully with a fairer crack at the whip than she had with Mark

No, she's really not very good and blander than bland!

I'm with Ravensborough on this one.
She trained hard with Mark and stayed in for a respectable amount of time even though he didn't have as much potential as the some of the other celebs.
She may be quiet but it takes all sorts of personalities to make a good group and not everyone can be outspoken and 'out there' as it not in their nature.
I hope she's invited back next year and gets a bit more resepct for her efforts

When I try the thought experiment, the results are rather different... Kristina will get nowhere with Mark and will look like a showoff who is trying too hard. Haley's warmth and patient teaching will have John dancing rather than marching and they will become favourites with the public.

Ha that just how I see it too - at least she gave Mark dance steps!! anyone can march!! Yes please lets have more of her!!!

I thought she was lovely yesterday on ITT! I do hope that they ask her back next year. I'd rather see her than Ola, Vincent, James, Karen, Brendan and Flavia any day!

I would rather see Hayley than Karen, but would prefer Nicole back.

A definate no !!!

Hear hear!!! Bring back Nicole!!!

Yes - she is my fav professional.

not really. she's bland and boring - no personality at all

She seems nice enough but she didn't impress me with her dance moves like Kristina and Brian have. She's competent, but sadly forgettable.

She was good with Mark, she really tried her very best with him, but I wouldn't be bothered if she didn't return.

I don't think we've seen enough of her to judge.

Bring her back - give her the same exposure as other pros - then hopefully we'll get to know her better.

Her handling of Mark was exactly right - and I'm glad we finally got to see the reality of their relationship.

Poll: Do you want Hayley back next year?

Yes, as long as it is not at the expense of losing Karen, Matt, Brian or Kristina.

Yes - she came across to me as a genuine, down-to-earth person. Frankly, wouldn't mind seeing the back of both Karen and Brendan! (Ducks hastily).

Well, at least there are a few more positive notes .

Mine to alongside Kristina, Brian and Camilla.

Karen is leaving of her own accord, I believe, to focus on the dance studio she is opening.

I know, but I'm an eternal optimist
