As several people have commented Brendan looks a bit disengaged this year. Is he disappointed to get a journey contestant rather than a ringah? Is he planning for this to be his last year on Strictly and was hoping to go out with a contender? Has the arrival of Trent squeezed him out of the automatic partnership with Natalie in the headlining ballroom routines? Has he just become more of a family man and is finding it hard to come to terms with the amount of time his type of career means being away from home?
He has tweeted this -

Loved last nights pro dance on #scd btw (was choreographed by Berh Horan). One of my favourites I think.

...possibly helped by actually having a role in it rather than making up the numbers at the back
There's a wink at the end but there is obviously a bit of truth in it.

I have a suspicion that he's having to come to terms with being one of the elder statesmen on SCD - and all that it entails. I don't doubt he's looked at Anton, and then James - who was increasingly being partnered with ladies of a certain age - and realised that the same fate might await him. And now there's no James............just him and Anton.
Seriously, that's how I'm 'seeing' Brendan now. Shame, I really rather like him now he's grown up properly - and I'd hate to think the show might dispense with his services in the not too distant future. Having said that, I'd be very surprised to see him go.
Oh Penelope...............:D
I agree Brendan is missing something.
I didn't think Sunetra was the problem and then at the weekend a few people in the forum said they were having problems, I thought forum members making a song and dance over nothing. Having watched tonight's ITT I see where the posters were coming from, they sat apart, Brendan didn't come back for the end and Sunetra disagreed with him a couple of times. It looked frosty.
In answer to the OP, no I don't think he is happy. Shame really Brendan is one of the pros I watch for and Sunetra is one of my favourite celebrities.
It's certainly not the first time he's given me the impression of phoning it in. ☎ Whatever the problem is (lack of training time, personality clash...), it's not encouraging me to vote for them and I rather like Sunetra.
Brendan tweeted that he was going to Flavia and Vincents new show tonight, so thats why he wasnt there at the end of Strictly! Plus i think they get on great - no hysterics or crying, just getting on with what they are there to do!
Yes! So right!
Well
't's me, I'm Catheeee'
They may have had a trying day ?
Has Brendan done that with any of his partners though (well, apart from Natasha!)?
He just doesn't strike me as the type for those sorts of antics so not sure how much you can read into it really.
He and Sophie were never touchy-feely either, but got on great (and still do, judging from Twitter).
I do sense Brendan's frustrated with the limited training time he and Sunetra have though (probably because he sees her potential and knows their routines could be even better) but he doesn't blame her for that. It's not like she's skiving off or anything! I'd say it's more frustration with the situation.
