I just dont like this guy

I like most of the Dancers on the Show...But I just cannot warm to James Jordan

He has done nothing overly wrong to merit this but i cant help think he comes across as extremely arrogant smug and patronising

Is it just me or does he just not come across as very likable

Thoughts?

I don't think he's nice either. Comes across as spiteful at times and up his own ar$e.

He's not charismatic like Vincent and Anton.

He's not gentle like Matt C or Darren.

He's an inferior bad boy to Brendon.

And he doesn't choreograph like Ian or Brian.

There's just nothing especially appealing about the guy.

I love him.

I think he can be extremely sweet and charming. And there's an element of naivety to him as well which is endearing.

I've heard a few comments on herer similar to the OP's.

If Gabby Logan was teamed up with another dancer in Series 5, she probably would have won it.

I didn't warm to her either.

Too clinical on the dance-floor, too competitive away from it.

He's my favourite pro and it frustrates me that he gets such a hammering on here. I wish he had started the year after he did, as he has never been forgiven for his relationship with Georgina. Who wouldn't have got so frustrated with her?

He has proved since that he is fantastic with his partners and i like that he says what every one else is thinking, but doesn't have the balls to say!

If only he could lose the dodgy songs!!

I think it has as much to do with his choreography as it does his temperemant.

His routines (particularly the Latin) just don't grab me. They are always dead slow.

I can understand the critique about the choreography (not that i always agree and he has said he is better teacher than choreographer), it's the comments about him personally that annoy me - i find that most are a hangover from his first series and it's not fair.

This is exactly what I wrote above even before tonights dance off. If Zoe and Gabby had different partners, they would have gone far

He was out of order to Georgina in the first series. Ever since then he has been supportive towards his partners and taught them really, really good technique.

I feel very sorry for him, as it must feel very personal.

His choreography is a bit boring though.

I like James, his partners love him and so his fellow professionals. So he says what he thinks but him and Ula are fantastic dancers. Please some of you give him a break, you voted him out with Cherie as well when they were clearly good. I don't like to beg but hating people you dont even know just doesn't seem right

It just goes to show, we all have different tastes - I think James is a great dancer, has been supportive of Zoe, and has a certain sexy something about him. You can't please everybody, though!

He wasn't out of order towards Georgina. She didn't show up on time at rehearsals. Didn't put any effort in the dances at all. She was just a lazy so-and-so.

I really like James, I always have. I don't really understand why people don't like him. And I enjoy a lot of his choreography (although I'll agree that sometimes it's a little on the slow side). I can understand why Gabby didn't do well with him (I think she needed a more laid-back partner, to try and make her seem less competitive- the public hate competitive women after all! ) I don't really know why the public didn't take to Zoe, I thought she was great!

Personally, I think he's OK; so far I haven't found any fault with him.

Yes , I doubt he will ever win , he is not popular and his partners will always struggle to overcome that

She was by no means innocent in the the whole thing, but he stepped over the line with her in response and some of the personal comments in general were uncalled for. (imo)

That was back then though, I have liked him in every other series and he hasn't deserved the consecutive early exits.
