Another week, another snidey Twitter comment from Jordan insinuating that they are the producers favourites, and if it's not that it's nasty comments insulting their choreography. I know that Ola and Karen supposedly had a row last series, but they've apparently put it behind them now, James it seems hasn't. I also don't understand why he doesn't seem to like Kevin very much as any beef he has should be with Karen and not her partner.
Has James forgotten that once upon a time he was also a "favourite" who was even given his own presenting slot on ITT? I actually don't believe the producers favour any of the pros and would toss any of them to the side once they've reached the end of their shelf life anyway.
Here's what I think. James thought that he and Ola were the golden couple on Strictly, Karen arrives, followed by Kevin who become hugely popular due to the whole "Grimsby" thing and James has his nose put out of joint because of it. We know James has an ego the size of Russia, I can't imagine a new male pro, particularly a. British one, becoming so popular went down very well.
James is a bully as seen on CBB I'm so glad we are now seeing his true colours!

I thought his Twitter feed was pretty complimentary about the jive? Have we been reading the same thing?
That might have something to do with it.
How could he possibly know that in week,one?
It's obvious that he's implying that they are the producers favourites.
I think he just has a huge chip that these two are the 'new favourites', the golden couple of the moment. It still amazes me that beige comment he made on CBB because I don't think KFG is beige. The Cliftons are Ballroom royalty.
I honestly think it really is about jealousy over the changing of the guard. James being jealous and his ego taking a knock that the Jordan's are now 'Old Hat' in SCD terms. Plus he's an arrogant arse who thinks he has more value that he has and has no doubt let his mouth run away with him once took often.
Even Iain said that Kevin over choreographs....
They never were to begin with, mind.
He's not always negative, but he's is always negative about Kevin and Karen, that's the point I'm making. It's bullying, and I'm sure they are glad that James is no longer on the show as I can't their working life was very pleasant last year.
Did James and Ola ever win anything of note in the ballroom world? I was under the impression that they were teaching OAPs to dance on cruise ships before Strictly came along... Karen is a former Salsa world champion.
Very plausible
If Ola has any sense, she'll divorce him. He's just a millstone around her neck.
Result (for James)
I agree with everything you said except this. How are Kevin and Karen favourites? Favourites by who? everyone I know finds them annoying and most of the general public who aren't on Facebook, Twitter etc wouldn't even know that they're a couple. I only found out a few weeks ago.
I don't agree with anything you have said. I like both Kevin and Karen as they are brilliant dancers and if you look on the forums you will see that they are liked by many.
Surprised to read that you didn't know much what is going on in Strictly.
Hope that helps?
(Am I correct, JJ?)
I'm sorry, I don't get at all what you're saying here.
As for JJ, he's not on the show with Ola any longer, while Kevin and Karen are.
I've hated Karen since the start, but I loved little Kev, I did wonder how he could be with her (each to their own I suppose he must see something I don't and that's his heart and his choice).
But this year I'm actually starting to see why others dislike him...
Frankly I'd ditch them both this year and reinstate James....
Indeed he showed his true colours on CBB when he happily bullied a brain damaged man.
