I honestly, (cross my heart and hope to die) don't wish ill will on the woman.
Admittedly, I cannot abide her tweeness& OTT persona, but for the life of me I cannot fathom the love the judges seem to have for her.
Her performance on last nights show was risable, and YET the judges gushed about her performance, with added addendums of how her sparkly personality et all brings to the floor....wtf...I see none, and I mean none of that.
What am I not seeing.

However we watched the Xmas special with the in-laws who were both cheering when she appeared. I saw the smiles on their faces, and while I don't get it, realise a lot of people do see the appeal.
I'd interchange Russell with Anne Widdecombe. He seems to fetishise the bigger ladies with personality, and it grates a bit, honestly.
It may be interesting to see what happens next year, whether they'll feature Lisa again on ITT, or have Alison Hammond instead, or ... both of them. :eek:
I have a feeling Alison may be in next year's Chriatmas special.
I don't actually find Alison nearly as annoying as Lisa because I think she has a bit more self-awareness. At least on ITT, Alison could look back at her dances and laugh at the fact she 'looked like she was hardly moving' whereas Lisa just goes on about being the 'people's champion', how she is 'renowned for her cha cha' etc. and seemed to think she was actually a good dancer
The fact that the poor girl had to lift his arm and do her own under-arm turn because he was so disinterested struck me as highly self-absorbed and arrogant.
Was he like that with Flavia? I tended to zone out when he 'graced' our screens during his series.
Same in my house my Mum thinks she,s brilliant. I hope Alison takes over the Lisa type role on ITT etc next year.
I noticed that Chris Hollins got a mention from Bruno about overindulging on the Christmas pudding and from Darcey about not being as sprightly as he was. Imagine if they'd said that to Russell or Lisa!
Russell said he'd lost two stones but I don't remember him being as large as he was now when he was in the show. I thought he was going to pass out during that routine. I think that's why Joanne had him sat on that golden cushion whilst she danced with Natalie! I would dance with Nat too if I had a chance
Probably harmless, but totally talentless and the really sad thing is that most people are too kind to point this out directly to her.
I wonder who will be next years fat woman.
1 ) After 3 years in the Strictly family her dancing is no better and nobody wants to see it
2) She can't do backstage reports any better than the celebs or dancers
3) She can't make her own ITT features into anything interesting
Why are we still being told she is so wonderful?
Yeah I can't wait to see that exact same jivechamba he choreographs for everything done by someone who can do it justice.
I give in...why?
^_^
Don't feel bad.
I like her too.
Perhaps she works cheap.:)
I misinterpreted a post above.
I agree. It's bizarre .. there seems to be some kind of fat fetish at the heart of Strictly and the BBC. Personally I find this institutional attraction completely odious.
BIB I did exactly this too!
I don't mind Lisa, some people really do enjoy seeing her dance just as I enjoyed seeing Judy dance
