I don't think that's what was meant

Think it was just that when she was with matt we really got to get to know her and she came out of her shell, that's all. Flavia's fans love both of them as individuals

Im attracted to marmite like characters too....

And although Im a Flav fan, Im NOT supporting craig this year.... because he's a bit....... crap!

Yeah - he is isn't he? Lovely guy but not a clue. I did think he improved tonight though and Bruno's comments were a bit harsh they may have handed him the sympathy vote.

I dont particularly want to carry on this slightly aggressive thread but I feel I must point out because of this

Are you a Gethinite by any chance

That the person posting about Matt is not a GG and I would not like any of the Mavarians to think that.

Don't worry, don't think any of us did

I feel sorry for Flavia only in that she is having to deal with a very complex character it seems to me who if he is not acutally delusional about his abilities is putting on a good act. Its not Flavia's fault he is still in the competition (although I think some Flavia fans might be keen to keep her around and thats their right if they want to vote) Len could have got rid of him in the dance off against Lynda and didnt and Claudia and Tess have been going on about Blackpool. Personally I think he should have gone before now but he hasnt and thats not Flavia's fault all she is doing is supporting her Celeb and doing the best she can with him.

Oops sorry!!

Did we? Thought I knew her well enough before.

Flavia wasn't nearly so badly off as Lilia or Kristina. Now they did deserve some sympathy. Craig isn't terrible, just not good and not improving a lot.

Considering that she went out the first week in her first year then I would say yes.

Shall I tell you the best thing about browsing this forum - it makes me feel better about myself. I sometimes think I could be a lot kinder and more empathetic and then I come on here and decide I'm really quite nice.

Lol!

Thank you.A sensible reply

I will take the votes from anyone who care to vote for our bhoy and for whatever reason

I was just defending him when people were saying he was the worse dancer she has ever had

Alienating (many of) Flavia's fans is not gonna be that helpful to you when she is currently partnered with your fav.

I think you'll find that many of the Flav fans will feel a LOT more loyal towards Matt than Craig!

If they are as big a fans of her as you say they are the wont care one way or another what I say

Children, Children!
If you are not going to play nicely together, Nanny won't let you watch Strictly next week!

Or make you watch non-stop re-runs of Dom Littlewood and Quentin Wilson...

This isn't the place for Appreciation threads so people who aren't wholly supportive of one performer or the other have every right to speak their mind.

I don't go wittering on about Flavia or Matt on the App. threads but I don't feel the thought-police should prevent me from speaking as I find on these areas of the boards.

Craig is not that bad at all and may well have done better with another pro. So cut it out with the poor Flavia routine. Kristina and Lilia had it a lot worse.

ummm...he quite possibly is. matt and flavia got to the final and was an amazing dancer, and they won the tour, so how can you imply that matt is the worst dancer she's had because he got bad nerves?


I'm not saying poor flavia, whoever the pros get they have to do what they can with them, and if they're naturally talented then all the better. I think Kristina was given someone who they thought would be good this year, and he turned out to be awful, same with Flavia maybe as Craig looks like he wouldn't be bad. Lilia has won before, and won many Christmas specials, but I do think she gets a lot of the duds, specially with Dunwoody this year.

I don't know why there have to be any duds at all, why can't there just be a large group of good entertaining dancers, then there wouldn't be this fuss abut people putting other people out and staying in longer than they should.

The title of this thread is "Poor Flavia".

I want them to have personality and then maybe learn to dance a bit. Not start with good dancers. So dull. Look at Whittle. He's fab. I watch his 90 seconds and that's it. I don't get any more value out of him.

I never said he was
