Is it just me that's noticed that every dance Natalie does is the very one she loves the most and entered the competition to perform?!

The truffle shuffle

She loves all the dances but the jive is her favourite, i think

I have to say that I find Natalie so irritating that I try not to listen to her anymore.

Eh , Waltz ? No maybe Samba , there again Paso , well maybe Foxtrot or no maybe The Jive .Ok the jive .



Till next week .

As she's learning each one she's having fun, so what? I thought that was what reality tv was all about.

Natalie grates at me, which I find surprising as I always liked her on Eastenders.

She just isn't very good, and I am tired of hearing about her enthusiasm. That said, there are a few still in the competition who are worse than her, so I don't think her time to go has come just yet. Soon, though.

She's enjoyed all the dances for various reasons but the Jive is her favourite (which makes sense as she said Louisa & Vincent's Jive is her most memorable Strictly moment to date).

That's the impression I got anyway.

I love Natalie. She lights up the screen with her smile and larger than life personality.

Give me her over some of the bores anyday.

That jive training clip where she looks at the cameraman and shouts "I love it ! " was magic. Laughed out loud at her happiness, great to see !

I believe that her enthusiasm is genuine. She loves all the dances but Jive is her favourite.

Says it all for me.

And me.

The OP makes a good point. She needs to tone down the kid in a sweet shop act.

And she needs to stop kissing Bruce's hand. What's that all about??

Its the gushing that gets to me and the overfamiliarity with Bruce and the judges .

I couldn't agree more, when she is listening to the Judges she always mentions she wants to come back next week.

Natalie has little personality except when she's performing one.

I am so sick of the excessive praise for her.

The way she's singled out is insulting to the other dancers and extremely irritating besides.

I normally think Claudia is great. But the way she goes on about Natalie makes me feel ill.

And Vincent was one of my favourite pros.

Right now on ITT she's playing the faffing "they think I can't do it" card.

agreed also her gurning whilst dancing puts me off their dancing altogether

That has just summed her up completely!

Watching her on ITT, when she called Claudia Claud I cringed.

Well it's good that not everyone shares your view, how boring would that be. :yawn:

The only interview Ive enjoyed as much has been Phil's.

Natalie is a diamond, so she is

Agreed.

Tonight's show would have been extremely depressing had it not been for Nat & Vinny's appearance at the end.

Natalie managed to convey her sadness at her friend leaving the competition, but didn't brood on it to the extent that it brought everyone down (like Brain).

She also has something interesting or funny to say (unlike Ali).

I'm explicitly comparing those two couples because they were both on tonight's show. One made an impact, the other barely registers in my memory.

Have to say i agree. I've surprised myself with Natalie this year as i liked her before the show started and usually love the extrovert personalities but she's becoming more nauseating every time i see her.

I don't know whether its actually her or not thats irritating me so much or the over enthusiasm about her personality from the judges/Claudia and the lack of any criticism while the others are not afforded the same privilege.

Saying that she does appear to me to be 'playing up' to that image now. Saying shes still so sad about Zoe and yet jumping around like a duracell bunny! Its just too OTT for me.

She loves all the dances but the jive is her fave. To be fair, I read an interview in a tv mag before her first performance and she said her favourite dance was the jive. So it's not as if it changes weekly.

And so at ease on the show - no airs and graces - just like having a chat with a mate.
