A lot of people are saying one half of a couple to go but I doubt Anton/Erin, Darren/Lillia etc. would do the show without the other one.

Could do without Karen (if she is leaving) and Hayley. Ola and Camilla are on the waiting list.
Also, could do without Anton and either Darren or James.

SCD cannot be the same without Brendan's and Vincent's choreography. I always look forward to their routines, as they are by far THE MOST INTERESTING choreographers. I think Lilya, Kristina, Flavia, Brian, Matthew and Ian are brilliant dancers, so I would never let them go. I like Erin in ballroom, both as a choreographer and a dancer. I would ask Nicole to return: nobody could beat her in Latin.

I think it's time for Bruce to depart, he's been painful to watch this series, so a move to presenting for Anton.

I'd lose Karen, her dancing face irritates, and as for the other female, I found Hayley's choreography to be boring, but to dump her after one series might be a bit mean, so since the other male I'd dump would be James, I guess Ola would leave instead.

Of the judges, the only one that has to leave in my opinion is Arlene, she's dreadful. Len's close to past it, but not there yet.

I definitely couldn't see either of the married couples splitting apart like that. Maybe Anton and Erin would though- Anton must surely spend a lot of time not working with Erin, with all the other stuff he does now, so maybe it would be ok for Erin to do another year but Anton do something else?

The ones I'd be happy to see leave are:
Erin and Anton
Vincent and Flavia
Hayley

also could bare the departure of:
Darren
Ola
guess this is less likely as they are part of a couple.

Wish they would find Brendan a good partner though.

Would love to see Arlene and Len go too.

Who I'd keep

Men
Anton Du Beke
Brian Fortuna
Darren Bennett
Ian Waite
Matthew Cutler
Vincent Simone

Women
Camilla Dallerup
Erin Boag
Flavia Cacace
Karen Hardy
Kristina Rihanoff
Lilia Kopylova

Basically I've axed 2 pro partnerships; Hayley and Brendan and James and Ola

However next would Kristina want to do the show for another year after the John backlash; would Matthew want to stay after the Nicole stuff and her not being asked back to the show?
Both Kristina and Matthew are doing the tour..
so are they that bothered??
they obv. enjoy it alot

and according to the papers,
nicole text matt sayin she hasnt been asked, and matt still signed up..

Anton and Erin have a great partnership together,
and do many tours together so i doubt it..

i think the bbc would put it down to 14
instead of 12

I'd like the couples that have been there from the begining to leave:
Darren & Lilia and Anton & Erin and Camilla and Brendon (not Ian though) They been on the show long enough.
Controversially, I will even go as far as saying Matt C and Brian too. *don't shot me* I just haven't taken to them.

All the others I quite like

I agree with this. I am quite sure Darren & Lilia and James & Ola would not go on the show without the other one. Unless there is good reason and even then, I'm not sure.

Brendan (though I appreciate he won't)

Ola
Hayley
I'd agree with the above and maybe add Camilla (too frenetic for me) and move Anton (due his poor latin) to the role of judge or presenter.

Krisitna and Brian have been great additions but no more DWTS USA stars please this time get some good British Pros in there please
Sure, no mass influx from abroad. But it is good to bring in the best new blood from abroad to reinvigorate the home team, othewise protectionism leads to staleness.

Six months ago we were all sceptical about outsiders. Had the imports been banned then we would never have seen Kristina and Brian, and what a loss that would have been!

I'm not fussed about Brian....he can go. (Wierd shaped head somehow?) Also Haley. Karen could go to judging, as she has experience there. Vinthenth can go too - too slimey for words. Flavia...not sure. Ola can go, if I have to watch her dancing around her celeb one more time, I'll scream!

Otherwise, I'm easy....

To buck the trend I don't want Kristina back
Others girl to go Ola

Boys to go Vincent
James (and not because he stood up to the john rubbish that redeemed him slightly)

Speak for yourself I was delighted at the "3 new pros" news, and I know many others were. You're right, it would have been such a loss - Brian and Kristina have been the highlight of this series for me.

I don't dislike any of the pros enough to want them out, but the ones I'd miss the most are Brian and Kristina, mainly because they've had only half a series and I'd like to see how they'd fare with contenders (e.g. Brian with an Alesha/Jill and Kristina with a Colin/Ramps)

I'd like to see at least 3 new pros next series. I won't mind losing Hayley, and if Anton is replacing Brucie and Karen is definitely leaving then there won't be a need for any of the other existing pros to leave. I'd love to see Karen on the judging panel, replacing either Len or Arlene.

[
QUOTE=CaroUK;29000112]Trouble is that most of them come in pairs and its usually both or neither (Cutlers excepted as they have done the show separately and together)

Keepers

Ian & Camilla (more him than her though!)
Darren & Lilia (more her than him)
Matthew & Nicole (she needs to come back)
Brian & Kristina
Vincent and Flavia

Could say cheerio quite happily to
James & Ola
Brendan
Hayley
Karen

We should say goodbye to

Anton & Erin as dancers - as neither of them are particularly brilliant at Latin - but I do love watching their showdances and their partnership is just fantastic, and I'd actually hate to see them go.

I agree with you.........

Flavia and Vincent
Kristina and Brian
Darren and Lilia
Ian and Camilla
Matt C

The Jordans wouldn't be missed by me and then i suppose Anton is a bit past his best and I don't rate Hayley much. So then Erin could dance with Brendan (which I think would work really well)

Ps - hope rumours of Karen leaving aren't true

I don't think that Hayley added much to the competition this year. I don't think many would miss her. I think Anton will be presenting it next year and Karen will go on to some sort of presenting or judging jobs. So only 1 more to choose from. I loved Kristina and Brian and would be most annoyed if they never came back next year. I don't think I would miss Ola or James. Although James is quite controversial.

Karen was a disaster on that living programme would hate to see her judging I dont think anyone who has danced on the show should judge. Antons presenting skills are woeful would rather he dance latin than present

The only pro's I would be devastated to lose would be Darren and Lilia as they make the show for me. However I also have a soft spot for Anton so would be disapponted if he left.

If I could only keep three it would be Vincent, Matthew and Brian. I must admit I wasn't sure about Brian at first but from the moment I saw his amazing street salsa I have been a fan.
