Ditto.
I like her.
She's quite competitive but in a jokey way.
I think someone like Ricky W is taking it all far more seriously.
Not sure where the spoilt princess tag comes from. Two weeks running she's had a right bashing from the judges but has taken it on the chin. She comes across as quite dignified to me.

oh it must be me, I really try to like her but just can't for some reason, horses for courses I supose!
I think Laila takes criticism very well...from what we see anyway...besides which I think she's getting a bit more than she deserves. She can be a bit whiny, negative and insecure and I suspect she's a bit of a handful for Anton at times...but not particularly spoilt IMO.
She doesn't seem unduly desperate to win either.
Overall she's the most engaging and interesting personality this year.

Don't worry, I reckon I'm in the same position re: Ricky Groves!
Some people can just rub you up the wrong way.
I can actually see where you're coming from, OP, and I kind of thought that about her at the beginning, but she's grown on me since then. I now think she's both fairly game and fairly dignified.

Yep, have to say that I agree with you.
Aw, Laila's lovely, I don't think she comes across as spoiled or 'princessy' at all. I think she's really down to earth, I like the way she wears normal tops and jeans for training (and still looks incredibly beautiful) - she is very natural, and has plenty enough humility for me.

She certainly is someone i would have a relationship with if I had the chance
She seems a lovely girl to me.
I feel sorry for her having to pair up with the worst 'pro' on staff.
IMO the Dancers should be able to do both styles of dance to be on such a grand stage and he clearly can't.
And once again he gave her an awful routine tonight.

Fingers crossed this is Anton's last year... It's not even like he can't choreograph routines, because he could be helped with that by an outside professional. It's that I question how well he can actually teach the dance to the celeb.
Whatever has kept him here this long, it's not the quality of his dancing...
I admired her for taking last week's criticism on the chin and turning it around a bit.
I did think she was a bit spoiled princessy, but am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. I thought she did much better this week - well done her.

Yes but they must change together and tan together

It's not just you. I really can't take to her either, in fact she's been my least favourite since week 1!

You been watching the same programme as me?
She is completely the opposite to what you say. In fact I feel sorry for the girl because Anton just doesn't seem to be giving 100% to the partnership. Its as if he is so used to losing with naff partners like Fiona Phillips etc that he just doesn't care.

Actually, Fiona danced with Brendan and he spent most of the time upsetting her!
I think it's just you OP. In fact I would think the description is more suited to Anton who has really been found wanting this year. He's got a partner with lots of potential but can't choreograph her a decent latin dance for toffee and somehow manages to blame her for it!
No disrespect to Jo Wood but, she's the type of contestant Anton is best suited to these days as he can ham it up and no-one can question him. If Laila had been teamed with Brendan I'm sure she would be getting the solid all round marks of people like Zoe and Ali.

I might just as well post the previous one to you too! And what evidence do you have that Anton isn't giving 100%? Laila doesn't seem to be saying that and she's already been quoted lots of times saying she's rubbish! Plus, Anton has had to cope with the orchestrated campaign being waged against him in the press, initiated by Laila, which must be distracting.
