Keep the dancers as is - except pleeeeeeeease get rid of the Jordans and Hayley this year.
Cannot take to either of the Jordans and don't think Hayley had the personality.
As alas we are losing Camilla perhaps it is time to trim the show back to fewer couples to save all the faffing around of male/female weeks - what a load of nonsense that was - was quite tedious to watch and for me put a dampener on the whole series.
BTW way whilst on a "revamp rant" sort the bloody judges out - we need an odd number if we are to keep the judges decision - or better still leave it up to the public

There is evidence that people off Strictly read the forums - Alesha mentioned Mattesha last year, Austin issued a statement about vis a vis his precious dance experience and hair loss in response to rumors on the site and this is as well as Flavia's statement. James also answered allegations of sour grapes made against him on the beeb board and Christine said she'd been on the beeb board with some trepidation after reading some not nice stuff about her (which is something that made me realize that I shouldn't have said some things I did about her) after she'd been kicked off and been surprised by the supportive messages people sent. It's pretty brave of them to read this stuff as certainly some stuff James and Flavia would have read about themselves wasn't very nice and in the latter's case completely untrue it turns out.

The dancers reading the forums is not so different to actors etc reading reviews in the papers. If people are sensitive they know they are wiser to keep away. At the beginning of the last series Kristina came onto the forums quite regularly, but (wisely) stayed away when the comments about JS were turning negative.

In
Erin
Lilia
Darren
Anton
Hayley

Strictly Come Dancing' to axe dancers?



I wonder who the pros are in the story?

Sounds a bit fabricated doesnt it?
Anyway, hope Darren and Lilai dont go - for me, it wouldnt be the same without them -although Im fully aware that thats the case for everyone and their favourites.

I can't see Darren throwing a hissy fit because he didn't get Hugo Boss clothes somehow - I think we've all got an idea whom that probably is IF the story's true.

i think that might be brendan or james..
however i could be wrong

whos the bitchy woman!?

i hope my faves (Matthew & Kristina) are back, i would be gutted if they wernt

I think Matt and Kristina are the safest in terms of definitely not being the ones the story refers to!

It's funny though, I bet a lot of people are like me in terms of automatically assuming that it applies to certain pros (if I'm honest, James or Brendan), and not to others, when in reality most of us only know the 'TV face' of these people and not what they are like when the cameras are off!

I wonder if the story is true though- for one thing it could be sort of a plant from BBC officials to justify a decision which is going to accept a lot of fans of the show.

Something thats missing from the online version, that was in the print edition of the Star, was a photograph of Flavia alongside this caption...giving the impression that perhaps she's not one of the ones in danger.


FOXY TROT: Sexy Flavia Cacace is a favourite of the viewers. But some of her pro rivals may be dropped

i just want to know now who the pros will be and wont be!

all this specualation in the press etc is driving me insane!
haha.

if the stories are true, i really want to know who they relate to

I know what you mean, I immediately thought of those two as the men. I can't imagine any of the women being bitchy, I just can't. But like you say, 'tv face' and all that.

At the same time, the amount of stuff in the press that is dressed up from the truth, or planted by the producers to get people talking about SCD, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a load of bobbins.

I like all the pros and don't want any going tbh but hope in particular Flavia, Lilia, and Kristina (and partners) are back next year.
