Has their appearance on SCD changed your view of someone?

Or did you think they were a gobby so-and-so both before and afterwards?
I had quite a positive view of Jason Donovan before he appeared on Strictly. Seemed a cheerful sort of bloke. I knew he had had addiction problems but was now clean, so kudos to the man for that.
But on Strictly he was SOOO Dull. And not say nothing dull, but rambling on and on dull.
Conversely, I had never heard of Chelsee Healey before she appeared on SCD, but I admit my opinion of her was coloured by her appearance, as I am not a fan of young women with false boobs and lips. But as the weeks went on, I considered her a sweet girl- not a Nobel prize winner, but funny and self deprecating.

Has taking part in the show been a Public Relations disaster for anyone?

She used to be such a funny comedian. I always assumed she was bright,witty and very much her own woman. I never thought of her as being desperate or self absorbed, or even deluded.
She was all three. :rolleyes:
Which just goes to show, never judge by appearances.
Before this season started, I thought Julien would be annoying. Now I think he's possibly the most annoying man on the planet.
Can't think of anyone else that changed my opinion so completely
I didn't mind Julien Macdonald on ITT last year but he is making my ears bleed with his constant screeching and general OTT mannerisms I find very hard to take - I truly hope he is one of the first to go.
Again I didn't mind Dom Littlewood on the tv but he came over as borderline pervy I felt very sorry for Lilia ! !
I thought Widdy would be a nightmare - and she was, and I actually expected Rachel Stevens to be more lively than she was.
Furthermore, I will never even contemplate watching breakfast tv now. :rolleyes:
I thought the same. I am ashamed of myself. I adored her in the end and was rooting for her. I am not even vaguely maternal either and she is young enough to be my daughter. I was willing her on.
I didn't realise how hilarious he was going to be, I now love him.
I thought Austin Healey was a gobby, arrogant, nasty English rugby player and he's now my favourite contestant ever - clever, funny, quite humble and never took himself too seriously.
Thought Nancy del Olio was a professional mistress who just looked good and had no personality, didn't realise how utterly insane and fabulous she is.
This year has only confirmed by opinion, only now I really loathe him and just pray that he leaves this weekend because he is going to spoil the whole programme for me. :eek:
I don't think you are by any means on your own there hun.
Suddenly with the free vote on BBC website they get millions of ABJs, Anyone but Julien.
I thought that that was the truth of the matter.
Before Strictly I had this idea in my head that she was full of herself ( mixing her up with the Angie Watts character, probably)
But what a lovely woman she turned out to be.
My favourite ever SCD contestant, personality-wise.
Chelsee was the opposite. Her 'single & ready to mingle' comment at the launch show had my heart dropping like a stone but I quickly found her to be a real sweethart & hardworking girl. One of my favourite contestants.
I thought that Gavin Henson would be a vain eejit but I grew to love his dry sense of humour & his partnership with Katya is one of my all time favourites.
I totally agree......I positively adored her and by the end voted for her to win. Her QS, Charleston and Jive were season highlights for me and I went from thinking she was some some dreadful, thick ice who could barely string a sentence together to an absolute sweetie. Trouble is hanging round with that hideous Tuloosa has rather sent my opinion backwards again.
I agree, but Patsy was lucky, as Robin always seems to bring out the very best in his partners.
I agree, I voted for Anita every week, and as I have mentioned previously, Robin always brings out the very best in his partners.
Yup I agree with all this. Gavin was a sheer delight, such a shame he keeps screwing things up in the outside world.
Austin waz robbed
Nancy was a hoot.
A great example of this is Stephanie Beacham. I really liked her on Strictly but not at all on Big Brother.
Because of this I try especially hard always to keep an open mind.
