I think Denise Lewis should have beaten Jill Halfpenny in Series 2.......
Unpopular SCD opinions
3 of 8
I think Jill Halfpenny and Denise Lewis were much better dancers than Alesha will ever be.
I think Brendan choreographs some great dances (excluding the show dance last series)
I think Craig Revel-Horwood speaks the most sense out of all the judges.

I think you're mostly right. John's foxtrot was no good but the rest of his ballroom was and Lisa I think is someone who tends to be accomodating towards people which didn't help her as she was seen as argeeing with Brendan who behaved like an arse last year. I think her dad was a bit of prat too.
Don's tango wasn't the best dance I've seen but it was a very good dance for so early in the competition and it was a real shame he was eliminated when Mark and Andrew were so ruddy awful on the same night and Heather was retained merely because she performed better in the dance-off whilst Don improved more technically. Don I think had the makings of a really good ballroom dancer and was only really put off his game by the lifts although his latin might never have been to much.

That's not an unpopular opinion - quite a few people seem to hold that one. Why's it anymore ridiculous than the elimination of Gaby to keep Kenny, Kate and Dom or Spoony going to keep Georgina and Jan in? Ironically the only person who lost out Leticia whom arguable on sheer performance on the night alone would have gone out when Matt was in the dance off in VW/Salsa week.

That's a silly argument in pro competitions youngsters don't compete with guys in their sixties - people specialise in ballroom or latin (which a lot of contestants would do better if they could do that - mainly in ballroom but Louisa and Ramps were much better at the latin) and people don't have to do a day job at the same time certainly not one which requires them to remember large sections of dialogue. In a pro competition - some contestants wouldn't last five minutes.

It could have been a disaster but she held it together. I think it was the way Karen waved her arms about, it just got on my nerves. After all, this is the unpopular opinions thread!

Oh my God -I was just logging on to add that very view!
Also, find Flavia a technically good but very emotionless dancer -strange lack of facial expressions.
Didnt think Alesha was that good a dancer (despite agreeing that she does have magical stage presecence).
Kristina - she is alright I suppose...
I also DONT believe that Darren wears a wig and still think him and Lilia get the most from their celeb partners despite all the new upstarts trying to steal their crowns!

For example people seemed to go crazy about Alesha's Cha Cha Cha but I didn't actually enjoy it and didn't understand why it got such high praise when there was hardly any basic Cha Cha Cha content (imo.)
Anyone willing to be brave enough to share their unpopular opinion?”

My unpopular opinion from the series before last was that Letitia milked her tummy upset for all it was worth and that if she was really that ill she wouldn't have been able to dance at all.

It wasn't an argument is was a simple question.
All I asked what happens in a pro competition when a couple cannot complete their routine for what ever reason and someone politely answered my question.

So true!
Matthew is my favourite male pro, but I don't drool over him!

My other unpopular opinion is that SCD is an entertainment show and that John Seargant was VERY entertaining

Definitely definitely definitely!!!! Trawled this thread to see if anyone else put this before I did!!
My other unpopular opinion is that I think Claudia Winkleman isn't really that funny - and I *still* think JLC should be presenting SCD on 3!!

The first part yes, the last part is far too out there for me, but I'm sure you're not alone!
I could go with JLC, but I'd like to keep Claudia too - double act maybe?

More ITT is a good thing
I like Bruno as a judge
I like Bruce as the presenter and i like his corny jokes
I dont get why Lisa was so disliked.
I liked Rachel, ok she was quiet but she seemed really nice.
I have no problem with celebs doing the show to promote themselves/further their career.
I dont get the adoration of Matt Cutler. I like him but cant get excited about him.
I like the dance off, and in most cases think it's a good thing
I think Len should be given more air time on ITT
Ok i was joking about the last one

Yes!
And the christmas special.
I've always found Jill to be a bit overrated.

So... you don't like Vincent either?
I'm confused now!
Another unpopular opinion: Rachel Stevens' foxtrot wasn't sweet and beautiful, it was dull!
