And what was all that nonsense with his name on the back of the cape (and don't even get me started on the belt)? It seems to me that Kristina was relying on gimmicks and her dancing rather than trying to help Joe. I could be hyper-critical because as Erinfan said there probably isn't a lot to work with. However, she is slowly appearing to me as a lazy choreographer who is relying on her partner's popularity to keep them in the competition.

I think they've become the comedy act. I feel sorry for him, He's like a lost kid on the playground with a suspect auntie in tow.

Poor sap.

And don't call the Welsh stupid.

yes it is very lazy and seemed to me to be just self advertising.

who the hell cares, he's a retired boxer - big whoop.

I didn't call them stupid, I can't see any nation being stupid enough to blindly vote for a crap dancer.

As for the suspect auntie, she is 26? And looks nearer 46 - how the hell did that happen lol

I find it very hard to judge as both of her partners have been woeful. (although she got a nice Waltz out of JS) The fact that Joe has been shown struggling with such simple movements and timing makes me think she has little choice but to adopt the emergency tactic. He looks as though he struggles with so many aspects of dance, which makes it hard to draw out a strength.

If the welsh are voting for Joe then why shoudnt they,,,its not any different to the english voting for Darren Gough when he first started, and yes, I am Welsh and will be voting for Joe every single week !!! I will vote for who I want !

I agree. I thought she choreographed a good tango for him, it looked simple but effective. He didn't help by turning into a wardrobe the moment he stepped onto the dance floor.

Well, I get the dirty vibe from her. She's no shrinking violet and a tiger in the sack I bet. She looks pure filth.

Mind you I get the vibe from kawasaki that he just lies there posing and lets the lady do all the work.

Of course you vote for who you want just means you don't rate this as a show about dancing quality

Everone knows that Strictly is a personality contest really,,,and thats why the best dancer does not always win.People even vote for the best professional,,and its not them that are competing. Its the celebrity.

Ok fair enough!!!!!!

But I still can't see the personality in him, he's wooden, but whatever floats your boat

I always thought he was a bike.

Unfortunately i have

The determined pursuit of unsuitable and unavailable men must take it out of her!

Tonight even Craig said it was all about entertainment.


Agreed. I can remember coming on here and reading appreciation threads before a foot had hit the dance floor.

I don't disagree, I find Ricky Groves HIGHLY entertaining.


Just I can't find anything entertaining in Mr Wooden.

It only when they have to keep him in preference to a good dancer that it becomes a problem.

I agree. However, it would depend on what type of voter you are:
[list]Fan of celeb[/list][list]Fan of the "journey"[/list][list]Fan of being "entertained[/list][list]Fan of the pro[/list][list]Fan of good dancing[/list]
These are the main reasons why people vote and all to often it's the fan of the good dancers who don't pick up the phone.

Not to mention any combination of the above!

Comments like this really P*ss me off. Why assume that the whole of Wales is voting for Joe??????

I for one am not and a lot of ppl I know aren't.

It's like saying the whole of Ireland were voting for Richard last week or that everyone in England is voting for every bugger else on the show.

Get a grip and stop with the veiled racism.

Well said.

The wife can't stand him and wants him off, same old crappy 'fisty boxing' routine every time the camera comes on him too :yawn:

I have to admit, i ain't a boxing fan, but i always thought 'good on you' for what he achieved, but he comes across as a bit of a c*ck on this show!!

He's dire but my sixth sense from looking at the order they announced the ones saved in (on the Hannibal Lecter advice to Clarice thats its not as random as it looks) suggests Joe's not that safe. The same sense is telling me that when Phil turns up between the top guy on the judges scoreboard and the top girl Ali in the announcement order it may be him piling up the sportsman vote. That would make sense as he has more personality and actually dances a bit too. That may prove complete rubbish - but lets see.

He's becoming a media whore with his dance partner in the newspapers.

Or Strictly Come Acting
