I wouldn`t miss either of the Jordans.
I never liked him since I saw him being so rude to his earlier partners especially the ones from Casualty. Other dancers have been gifted with poor celebrity dancers but Anton and Darren and Ian for example are always very supportive and kind.
Hayley doesn`t seem to have made any impact at all this series. I have liked Kristina and Brian though.

Men: Brian for definite - I can't stand him or those horrible hips I would also quite like to see the back of James

Women: Karen & Ola (Both are so intent in showing themselves off rather than their partners!)

For versatility alone couples like Vincent and Flavia and Darren and Lilia must stay.

I wouldnt miss Ian and Camilla but think they have enough left in them to stay another season.

The 4 I wouldnt particularly mind going are:
Anton
Hayley
Karen
and *looks round before ducking* Brian. (doesnt do anything for me and those eyebrows seem to have a life of their own).

I originally decided James and Ola should go but to be honest, I think James deserves another chance.

I pretty much like all the pros now, so its hard to choose who I'd want to leave.

I'd defo want to keep

Men
Brendan
Vincent
Brian
Darren
Anton

Women
Camilla
Erin
Kristina
Lillia

If it came to a push it I'd want to get rid of the Jordans and Hayley.

Righty-o, my keepers.

One hundred and ten percent, Camilla. Basically 'cause I adore her - not just her dancing or her amazing choreography but her personality. Of all the pros, with the exception of maybe Ian (which says it all, they come as a pair), she's the most down to earth and the friendliest with all her celebrities. Just watch 'Tom and Camilla's party' on YouTube or on the It Takes Two website, it's brilliant and so true. I do feel though as if I have to stick up for her the entire time and I'm well aware she's not exactly popular but I don't care, I've never understood it and frankly the show wouldn't be the same without her - she's been in since the beginning and I hope she stays long into the future. So yeah. Camilla rant over.

Obviously, I want Ian to stay too, much for the same reasons as Camilla. He's an absolute gem.

I'm still a huge fan of Erin, even though my interest in her has slightly dwindled this series. She's a brilliant dancer, there's no doubt about that and particularly when she does the showdances with Monsieur du Beke, but I do agree that her Latin is weak, as is his. If those two left the show they'd take half the heart and soul of the whole thing but I think they should possibly stop competing now. I reckon they should stay on in a pro performing/behind the scenes dirt capacity. I do think the BBC have a bit of an Anton fetish at the moment though, a tad over the top for fear of being shot?!

Erm. So, where am I? Hmm. Oh yeah, right, Darren and Lilia. I don't really have an opinion on these two, neither of them have ever really grated with me but they haven't "wowed" either. I wouldn't want them to leave, but I'd vote for others to stay before I asked for them to be kept in.

Vincent also doesn't really bother me anymore, but that's possibly because I don't watch his performances much now. Mainly 'cause I don't like Rachel, I think she's often overmarked and Tom seriously undermarked. This is probably therefore utterly unfair, but whatever. I wouldn't mind if he stayed.

Flavia, I think, is an incredible performer and an excellent teacher. She can stay in my fantasy world where I control the casting of Strictly =).

Kristina's grown on me. She's actually very sweet and I've definitely warmed to her over the course of the series. Also another brilliant dancer.

I was actually surprised by Brendan this time around. After the Natasha Kerplunksky (and yes, the mistake was deliberate =D) fiasco, I hated his guts. Really. I felt the way the BBC handled the whole thing by recruiting her as presenter on series two and effectively shoving her down Camilla's throat was horrible too, but that's a different matter. Basically, it's taken a long time for Brendan to redeem himself even slightly from that, but I think he's nearly done it this time around. He's grown up and I like him a lot more for it, he's one for keeping.

Matt. =D. 'Nuff said.

Pom pom pom... erm, Brian. Not bothered. Find him a little too arrogant for my liking but maybe that's just my perceptions. Sure he's a nice guy, but I reckon he needs more time to settle in.

Hayley. Never really got her, she impressed me least out of the new pros. Just didn't ever have that Strictly "pazazz," I felt. However, it's only her first series and she should really be given a second chance. Because I'm nice. And am totally deciding who will be in next series 'cause I'm a BBC casting director =|.

So, now for the exits;

Ola bores me, pure and simple. She's just there for male eye candy/to make up the numbers, I'm sure.

I liked the Lunghi/Jordan partnership a LOT this series, and she was outvoted far too early in my opinion, but frankly, James is such a pig! Those things he said about John made me wonder whether Cherie kept him in check the whole way through the time they were competing by kicking him under the table frequently but he truly is only in possession of a single brain cell. What an idiot.

Karen Hardy I could do without. I've just never been able to warm to her and I don't really know why - she seems perfectly nice but I just can't relate to her.

Oops. I kept too many men =D. Oh well, I can live with that!!

That was an essay and a half though. May as well've just written a newspaper column, it would've been shorter! I apologise, I went slightly over the top x].

No that's alright- now you know at least one person has read it! Camilla has a spark of vitality that comes across and I'm sure she's doing just fine with the producers as she's a fine teacher and choreographer as well.
Actually I think Erin has proved a little more versatile with the latin than Anton has but if he ever stops dancing it will probably be because he gets a presenting job instead. I am almost fascinated by that slight edge of steely concentration/determination she seems to have when you see she thinks the camera is off her.
Hayley, New Zealand's "Sexiest Woman" never really made an impact did she?
That fellow James is skating on thin ice. If only I could justify Ola on more rounded grounds than... her rounded grounds.
Brian's gushing words are very L.A. , where if you aren't telling people that they're fabulous (darling), then it means they're... pants!
