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.

Agree about Anton as judge, he is great and I really like Janette as a presenter .

factis · 13/10/2021 08:00

It must be very hard for some of them to cope when their English isn't fluent. You probably don't get a real impression of some of the pros when they're struggling a bit at the start.

I'm full of admiration for the way they end up able to understand all the different accents, people speaking fast and colloquially at them especially in It Takes Two, and join in the humour.

Gio and Aljaz really 'get' Strictly.

JaninaDuszejko · 13/10/2021 09:22

Another vote for Oti and Gio. Best at getting the best out of their partner and choreography.

thecatneuterer · 13/10/2021 12:27

@Bloodypunkrockers Pasha and Aliona were my favourites too. I don't really have any favourites now.

I also love Anton as a Judge.

DinaofCloud9 · 13/10/2021 12:32

I miss Pasha a lot. Such a kind person. I was so glad Kevin left with his me me me ways and I'm not a fan of Janette. She was the weakest pro.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 13/10/2021 12:33

Oti is leaving???

Well, maybe. She said this series, or possibly next series, would be her last in an interview with The Telegraph in April. Then she said that wasn't what she meant in a later interview. So who knows. www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/oti-mabuse-strictly-future-newsupdate/

Johannes by a country mile. I love him beyond measure 😂 He’s just incredible.

Honourable mention to Aljaz, he’s like a little ray of sunshine. This is the first series I’ve warmed to Gio actually. His off screen antics put me off. I’ve been fed up with the damsel in distress thing he’s had going on with his last few partners. Like he’s some amazing man come to save their self esteem 🙄 But, with that removed this year, I quite like him!

I do not get the love for Neil.

Of the woman - Oti is my fav. Katya & Oti have incredible choreography. Still not quite recovered from Katya’s cheating scandal.. I want to like her but that was pretty low.

I do really like Dianne as well but I feel like she’s struggling on the show.. I can’t quite work out why. Amy who started at the same time is doing better I think..

Onlinedilema · 13/10/2021 21:40

Gio and Katya for me.
From the past Flavia and Matthew.
Anton is better as a judge than a dancer, his Latin wasn't very good.

Bimblybomeyelash · 13/10/2021 22:34

@southcarolina hilarious clips thank you!

I used to love Flavia and Vincent. And now I can’t take my eyes off Oti and Gio. All so beautiful and talented.

imblueduboodee · 13/10/2021 22:48

Katya just seems to full of life and I like that she's a bit of a girl!
Oh how id hate to be that swimmers partner right now (talking of which he's a nice looking lad!)

I find Karen an odd one, she used to be a different person, anyone remember how she was with Mark Wright? Basically falling all over him.. now she's a power muscle woman who reminds me heavily of the master chef lady (name gone!)

imblueduboodee · 13/10/2021 22:49

*so full of life

Datsandcogs · 13/10/2021 23:04

I can’t just pick 1!

Brendan, oh how I miss Brendan!!

I very much prefer Anton as a judge than a pro.

Current dancers, I love Aljaz, Neil, Johannes, Amy and Oti.

JacquelineCarlyle · 13/10/2021 23:15

@amillionmenonmars

Gio - not just because he is utterly gorgeous, but because he is an absolutely fabulous dancer and is so lovely and supportive of his partners.

Oti is my other favourite. She is just so stunning and seems like she is strict, but good fun to work with. Also an incredibly talented dancer and choreographer.

I feel exactly the same!
Lottapianos · 14/10/2021 06:53

'now she's a power muscle woman who reminds me heavily of the master chef lady (name gone!)'

Monica Galetti Smile yes, she does look a bit like her. Well, people change, and she's been through a marriage break up, maybe felt the need to shake some things up

southcarolina · 16/10/2021 19:22

That dance for example, Gio choreographed the whole thing to show off Rose, so supportive Daffodil

CeeceeBloomingdale · 16/10/2021 19:27

Aljaz and Oti are my faves. I think Aljaz makes it all about his partner and he's so lovely and smiley. I think Katya and Neil aren't great choreographers but I haven't warmed to either of them. Anton I much prefer as a judge. He was becoming too pantomime dame as a dancer. Johannes is amazing but a bit selfish as a partner. Kai is growing on me.

Lampzade · 16/10/2021 19:49

@BlackAmericanoNoSugar

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.

Agree with all this I really like Kai too
Lampzade · 16/10/2021 19:52

@GetInThereLewis

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.

I still miss Flavia and Vincent,
CeeceeBloomingdale · 16/10/2021 20:19

Just thought of a past one, Aliona, great choreographer

CeeceeBloomingdale · 16/10/2021 20:19

Ooh and Artem, he was amazing

sillyrubberduck · 16/10/2021 21:20

Gio , Otti and Kai

Ivchangedmynameforthis · 16/10/2021 21:47

Amy and Johannes.

Thecurliestwurly · 16/10/2021 21:49

Of the ladies, Oti and Amy, but I would like Karen to win it at some point. Oti is a lot of fun and a good teacher, but on some ballroom dances Amy looks absolutely stunning, has great character and she is great at the Jive.

Of the guys, Aliaz and Gio seem like good teachers, but I quite like (fancy) Gorka.

Egghead68 · 16/10/2021 22:00

Oti and Gio and I love Katya’s choreography.

GettingLardy · 16/10/2021 22:12

I had a crush on Robin back in the olden days. My favourite male pro is Johannes and female would be Karen Hardy. None of the current females come close!
