What is it with Jake?

I am out of the country so relying on you tube at the moment, from what I can see he is an exceptional dancer yet does not seem to be popular here. Am I missing something?

Agree, but it's his "so attractive, sex symbol" tag that I cannot fathom:o Ah well, it's good we don't all have the same taste. He does nothing for me and nor does his dancing.
I'd call his demeanour phlegmatic. That's how he comes across to me anyway. :cool:
I thought his dancing was great then I looked on the poll and he was only fifth, I thought perhaps there was something I missed.
I don't watch East Enders so have no previous experience of him, I certainly would not call him a sex symbol or even attractive I just liked his dancing, can't find this weeks dance on YouTube yet though.
It depends how people define 'favourite'. This week I didn't vote for him in the poll because his wasn't my favourite dance of the night. However, he's probably my favourite overall so far.
Dont knock that sex symbol tag it gives some of us a least a bit of hope
But I'm always really interested in him and his dances. And the bookies still have him as favourite to win. Not sure where the OP gets the impression he's not popular.
I am in Dubai and have been for a few weeks, all I have are the clips on YouTube that don't always have judges comments. I haven't been able to find this weeks yet, so I really only have DS to go by and it just seemed to be a bit meh when it came to him, but good to have it clarified. Thanks all
Really? possibly Jake - however I can see Pixie possibly being in a shock dance off situation if she has a slightly duff/ just ok dance. I like Pixie, however going by polls and the general feeling on here is that she leaves many cold and she is 'too good'.
Unfortunately I think there is a good case that Allison, Scott and Judy are hoovering up votes at the moment
If you've just started reading DS on this Series you may have missed this thread which got a lot of positive traffic the first few weeks. That might fill in some of the blanks you are drawing right now. It's hidden away on page 3 at the moment.
Things do change from week to week, though, and threads come and go.... and resurface... or get created anew by other posters.
What a brilliant description of Jake. I agree ;-)
Him: he's a low-key, wry kinda guy whose personality might not click with everyone. He seems like he's probably got a lot on with work/family, isn't the type to declare his utter infatuation with the dahnce (although he clearly enjoys it) and the Strictly experience, and therefore just gets on with it without a lot of fuss. Voters tend to like some kind of drama/narrative to buy into, but he's not really creating one other than 'I trained, some bits were hard I guess, here's my dance: hope you liked it.'
I think he will win if he does some more knock-out dances. He's got no real competition from the other men (Simon and Mark have been in the dance-off; Steve and Tom aren't that good I don't think; Sco-hahahaha) and the good women are all ringahs so he'll win because he hasn't had training.
I agree with you. He does the steps, but his dances just don't excite me. I really don't see the appeal.
