I'd go along with that, and in the jive it was compounded by yet another dress disaster that was as bad as some of the awful outfits Letitia Dean was put in. They just don't seem to have a clue how to dress anyone with a fuller figure. That outfit made her look like a pair of dancing thighs and that is the last place you want attention on when doing a jive.

What are you saying with that analogy ? For me a cat who got the cream is a smug little git .

I agree about N and V being mismatched, no matter what dance they are doing Natalie appears small and squat, but especially so in the jive.

Even that is so fake. What a ghastly gusher she is!

She's heavy footed with flat feet, no core strength, no grace and no fluidity. It's got nothing to with her weight, she is simply ungainly and hasn't got much talent.

She also only has two expressions when dancing. In ballroom she sitcks her nose in the air and purses her mouth like a spinster aunt sucking lemons, and in everything else she dances slack jawed with her gob wide open. Not a clue. Awful to watch.

Time she went. Nice girl, zero talent.”

Agreed *nods*
