Personally, I have loved all of the new professional's, and I think all three have settled into the show perfectly.

It'll be interesting to see how much of an impact, Brian, Hayley and Kristina have made on you to the show.

So, should they stay? And if so, whom?

Or, should they go?

Oh pants I started a similar thread. Deffo want Brian and Kristina to stay, but i think Brian should go with Karen and Kristina with Matt.

Not sure about Hayley, if she was allowed back I wouldn't mind cos she didn't get much of a chance! poor hayley!

Brian and Kristina - YES without a doubt. And I think if Hayley wants to do it then I'm happy to see her back, but she hasn't made such an impression on me. I would like to see more of her though actually.

so yes to all three of them

I would love to see Kristina and Brian back. Don't mind one way or the other about Hayley (sorry Strictly - I know you like her). She didn't wow me in any of the pro dances.

At least you remembered, Daisy .

I've only just realised which thread you were talking about .

They are different so it is fine. My fault.

The three of them should stay. I love Brian and Kristina, but I don't think that Hayley's been given near enough exposure as B&K have had.

Who is Hayley? She must have gone before I started watching.

Keep Brian and Kristina.

Brian and Kristina should stay, Hayley should go.

Well, I know Brian's already been asked back and I'm not surprised. He's wonderful! Kristina and Hayley should stay. Kristina has been a hit and Hayley needs another chance to prove herself. To me she seems like a bright, lovely person and could shine if she has a partner with a smidge of talent! After all, she made it to the semis in NZ! She's gorgeous too!

Hayley should get a chance with someone who can dance.

Brian and Kristina should come back as well...

Just get rid of the Jordan!

I was not impressed with Hayley's choreo for Mark, and she didn't wow me in any of her professional performances.

Kristina and Brian I would love to see back - they have both made a positive impact on the show.

Yep keep Brian and Kristina, get rid of Karen and bring back Nicole

Kristina and Brian should definitely return next year - they have been great additions to the show.

At the risk of upsetting all Kiwis, Hayley just isn't in the same league as a dancer, her technique is really limited, which was so noticeable in the trio routine they did to introduce them, Hayley was completely overshadowed, I'm afraid.

I thought much of her choreography was lame too.

I preferred Hanna Haarala, can we have her back?

Brian and Kristina should definitley be asked back - they are two of my favourite pros now along with Matt and Karen.

Hayley I'm not so sure about now with hindsight. I know Mark was a tough partner and he'd never have won SCD or even come close, but I have wondered if he'd have done better with another more experienced pro like Lilia or Karen. I felt that in some ways right from the start she struggled to choreograph routines that would suit Mark with his lack of natural ability. In some ways we haven't seen enough of her, but then again who wants a pro that can only work with a certain level of ability? If she wants to come back then I guess that would be fine by me, as long as it wasn't at the expense of another pro leaving. I'm on the fence with Hayley.

I think Brian was a huge asset to the show and should definitely be asked to come back. I really don't care whether Haley or Kristina come back. I never quite got the huge thing about Kristina. She never did it for me.

Brian and Kristina - definitely

Hayley No, she just isn't in the same league as the other professionals dance wise

I love Kristina, she’s an incredible dancer, a lovely woman and I thought she did amazingly well with John, definitely want her back she‘s right up their with my favourite pros now. The BBC are stupid if they don’t offer.

Liked what I saw of Brian he seemed liked a good teacher and he’s a fab dancer, to my untrained eyes! Very happy for him to be invited back.

I’ve got to be honest though, Hayley hasn’t done much for me. I know she got a fairly rubbishy partner, sorry Mark, but she never seemed to be able to get hardly anything out of him, I saw very little improvement over the weeks and I kept wondering if he would have been better with a different tutor. Maybe it’s a bit unfair to make a judgment based on how little we’ve actually seen from her, but she hasn’t done much for me in the pro dances either I‘m afraid. I’m undecided about her, part of me says give her another chance with someone else, but another part says I’d rather have her spot filled by another pro.

I'm with the general consensus: Brian - absolutely fantastic; Kristina - didn't like her at first but she really grew on me; Hayley - sorry but I thought she was just really dull in every respect; personality, dancing and choreography-wise. Agree with the comments about her work with Mark. Like a previous poster I would really love to see Nicole back as well, and I also think Brian and Karen look good together, better than Brian and Kristina actually. I'm so pleased to hear he has already been asked to return; not only because of appearing on Strictly but because there may be other opportunities to see him perform live in the UK next year!

Stay, stay, stay...they've all contributed their share to the entertainment this year.

Brian & Kristina - yes
Hayley - go

Brian - stay, major asset to the show
Kristina - stay, major asset to the show

Hayley - err, not so much, as most have said, yes she had a 'difficult' partner, but the choreography was dull, and she just doesn't stand out in any of the pro dances, Brian and Kristina shine in these dances, Hayley gets a bit lost in the mix. I'd be doubtful about her getting a potentially good partner next year as well, as she didn't seem to get any improvement out of Mark at all, whereas I can't wait to see what Brian and Kristina could do with better potential partners.

I agree with lots of the others, Brian and Kristina to stay, their choreography was outstanding.

But Hayley, no, she's probably a lovely girl but her choreography just isn't strong enough. There was no pizzazz to it, very boring and bland. And maybe think about this, have we noticed whether she's there or not in the pro dances, mostly not, I'd say. She's largely been forgotten already, so by next year most of us will hardly remember her name.

all out please. get the broom.

Am I the only one who actually liked Hayley?

Okay, so I'm hardly a dancing expert, but I enjoyed her dancing in the Samba (if not Mark's ). Plus (and I'm speaking as a straight woman here) she is very easy on the eye. Seemed like a nice girl, I'd like to see her get another chance.

Kristina and Brian, absolutely. Brian's hips were quite a highlight of the show this year.
