Zoe or Claudia? You decide...

I prefer Zoe. Shoot me down in flames.

I like Claudia but she got on my ...what would Len say? Tits? Pickled walnuts? A bit too coy and a bit too gauche for a woman of her age.

Am I the only viewer to prefer Zoe on ITT? She seems a bit more direct, slightly less starstruck and faux-naive.

Oh, and Claudia's dancing was dreadful.

    I don't dislike Claudia but it's Zoe for me too - not for one minute do I believe Claudia was either coy or gauche and I firmly believe she could dance a lot better than she made out.

    The clumsiness was all part of the act.

    Oo, controversial. So Claudia could dance really? She was just faking her clumsiness?

    I say she CAN'T dance!

    I've started to watch ITT again now that Zoe is presenting. I wonder if she will stay next year or will have to step aside?

    I'm really enjoying ITT with Zoe. Maybe if Claudia had been axed rather than stepping back it would be different, but she wanted to go so ... the next thing is to find someone who appreciates ITT for what it is, which Zoe totally appears to do.

    Personally, I thought Claudia looked a bit going through the motions last year but while she wanted to do it, I wouldn't have wanted her changed, if that makes sense.

    Zoe, however, shows that sometimes a bit of a change can be a good thing when it's done right.

    What is it with Zoe and trousers always? Does she think they flatter her?

    I like Claudia, but she was just going through the motions. I really like the freshness Zoe has bought to this seies.

    This exactly. Then again, Claudia had done it for so long it's fair she might lose enthusiasm. Right now, I'd take Zoe 100%.

    Zoe by a country mile. She's fresh, direct, level headed and uncomplicated. And I loved the segment she did with Ian.

    I prefer Zoe though I didn't expect to. She's bright and very enthusiastic and seems to get on well with everybody.

    Claudia's dim girl act was wearing a tad thin.

    Absolutely, I love all the flirting with Ian. A couple of years ago I'd have said nobody could take Claudia's place, but am LOVING Zoe. Don't really want Claudia back. :o

    This Zoe vs Claudia has been going on since ITT starts!

    I prefer Zoe now. Very much so. Claudia is alright for a short duration in the results show, but I don't think I can stand that ditzy antics for five days now that I can see so much SCD nutrition from Zoe in each 30-minute ITT segment. She's indeed outdone herself, that Zoe.

    Perfect summation.

    Zoe is so much better.

    I had stopped watching ITT because Claudia was so frazzled, jumpy, tetchy, awkward, badly dressed and - towards the end - totally disinterested in doing the show. She raced through everything and looked a mess.

    Please don't come back Claudia.

    Zoe does seem to get through a lot more content, not having the mannered delivery of Claudia of course... I only hope for more educational content. So far the only aspiration for it has been as a gossip magazine.

    Zoe. ITT has become more interesting and genuinely enthusiastic about the main show. I hope Claudia doesn't return because she didn't seem to actually like or understand dancing at all. I only started watching last year and so perhaps Claudia was better in previous years.

    Zoe. She has given ITT a breath of fresh air. I really liked Claudia, but I think after 8 years it's hard not to be too over rehearsed and automated.

    Maybe Bruce and Tess will follow suit. But I have to say I like Tess more this year I don't know if something has changed about her or not, except her wardrobe and hair!
