Who's your favourite professional on Strictly?

I always used to love Alijaz but I think my favourite now is Gorka. If I was 35 years younger I'd probably fancy Nikita.

I agree about Anton, I didn't think he would be good as a judge but actually he's fantastic. He gives really good advice on how the dancers can improve and he's kind with it.

Oti is my favourite pro, dancing, choreography, sheer beauty. I will really miss her when she leaves. I didn't like Giovanni when he first started, but he has massively toned down the egotism and puts a lot of effort into making sure that his celeb has the best possible experience. He also does amazing tangos. I used to be entranced by Gorka, but I've kind of gone off him a bit. He seemed so happy just to be there when he started, but seems a bit jaded now.

Thanks for the You Tube links @southcarolina Grin

I absolutely agree about Anton. The Daily Mail had a headline on a piece yesterday, probably all conjecture as I didn't actually click on it, that if Bruno wants to return next time, Anton will be dancing again. As if. He's perfect as a judge. He's kind, but not gushing and gives out quality advice. He doesn't appear to be biased either. Has anyone else detected something up between Greg and Craig?

Lottapianos · 12/10/2021 10:25

Very much agree about Anton, he's great in the judging role

Favourite pro ever - Flavia

Current favourite pro - can't choose between Karen, Katya and Aljaz

whatswithtodaytoday · 12/10/2021 10:27

Oti and Gio. I've seen them both live from the front row and they are utterly amazing.

TheMarzipanDildo · 12/10/2021 10:36

Oti!

Theraindropss · 12/10/2021 10:36

Oti is my favourite, Motsi is my favourite judge. I love that judges aren’t mean anymore, it was so horrible a few years back!

Love love love Johannes, the guys have been great I can’t wait to watch them on Saturday. They look fab together as dance partners.

If I was on strictly I would 100% want to dance with Graziano!

bengalcat · 12/10/2021 10:39

Johannes and fave judge is Craig

Puffalicious · 12/10/2021 10:40

Can we get a petition together NOT to bring Bruno back?Hmm

Lottapianos · 12/10/2021 10:41

Bruno was the worst. It's so much more enjoyable without him

VoyageInTheDark · 12/10/2021 10:44

Oti is my favourite, she seems lovely. Also like Alijaz, he looks so happy and smiley.

MissMarpleRocks · 12/10/2021 11:01

Love Johannes. Love love Anton as judge. Dislike Shirley though I’ve not seen any of her mean girl comments this year which she usually reserves for the attractive females.

I don’t think we should have Motsi & Oti in different roles but will be interesting to see if Oti gets into a dance off.

I’ll be pissed off if we have to have Bruno back - Anton is so much better.

HopingForOurRainbowBaby · 12/10/2021 11:05

Alijaz

DinaofCloud9 · 12/10/2021 11:07

Gio for me. Am not a fan of Neil or Amy.

I miss Pasha. He was always my favourite.

SleepQuest33 · 12/10/2021 11:11

My favourite was always Janette Manrara, gutted that she left before she could have one well deserved win.

alligatorpeardrop · 12/10/2021 11:36

I used to be crazy about watching Flavia, she's a goddess. Aliaz seems to be as kind as he is gorgeous. Katya is queen of innovative choreography. Gorka and Giovanni are very pleasant to watch Grin

'I used to be crazy about watching Flavia, she's a goddess. Aliaz seems to be as kind as he is gorgeous.'

Flavia truly is a goddess. Her AT routines with Vincent were just stunning. She was a brilliant choreographer with her partners too

Aljaz is lovely - great routines, very encouraging and supportive. Does absolutely nothing for me in any other way. I know, weird Smile

Absolutely she was stunning dancer and so lovely. I like that she’s presenting now though!
purplemunkey · 12/10/2021 12:45

Gio. He's grown with the show. At first he came across at quite vain and big headed but he's really matured and comes across as a lovely and supportive dance partner for the celebs. I like Oti too. I was also surprised by Anton, I thought he'd be really irritating as a judge but I think he's great.

meadowbleu · 12/10/2021 12:51

I sometimes found Janette over the top on Strictly, but love her on It Takes Two. Her's and Anton's insights having competed in this particular incarnation of SCD is fab to have.

I was reading about Flavia the other day and her life on the farm with Jimi. They have a barn and seven acres in Devon now and have been together 11 years.

Pinkfrescias · 12/10/2021 12:56

Oti and Karen are great. I love love love Alijaz he is gorgeous and so smiley.

I wish I had watched more strictly in the James Jordan/Brendan Cole years purely for the drama. They both come across as utter arses.

That's so lovelySmile

GetInThereLewis · 12/10/2021 13:13

Oti,she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I loved her and Bill.

Vincent Simone is my GOAT. I could watch him dance the tango all day.

FolornLawn · 12/10/2021 13:14

Anton is a fab judge, in fact, this is my favourite judge line up since the show began.

Favourite female - Janette or Oti
Favourite male - Alijaz or Giovanni

jeanne16 · 12/10/2021 13:19

I love Johannes.

Odile13 · 12/10/2021 13:19

If I had to pick one - Oti!

I also really like Katya. Always enjoy watching Nadya dance too. Kai is my new favourite dancer, there’s something about him that stands out.

I miss Janette. She is one of my all time favourites along with Kristina Rihanoff.
