Do you all realise that he is in the ITV1 series every day this week - Monday to Friday! With his brother.

I think he did, just about. I suppose he expressed his admiration of her rather than simply thanking her.

Eh? Fiona Phillips, Kate Garraway, Quentin Wilson, John Seargent, even Kenny Logan, to name but a few, couldn't dance, and seemed to be perfectly aware of the fact....
They wouldn't entered strictly to be ridiculed every Sat night They **found out** they were crap dancers *after* the whooooooooooole world told them so Yet another tediously obvious Fact!! . |

I'm happy - because Jade and Chris are still in the show!

I've read on DS that he said he got to dance with 'the best dancer in the world.'

If someone is presented with incontrovertible proof that something is true ie that they cannot dance, if they then continue to believe they can dance then I would question the state of their mental health.
I thought my singing voice was ok until I heard a recording of my singing. ![]() Now I know I am bad. Nothing anyone else says to me could change my mind. My husband, bless him, says its not that bad. But it is, it really is. |

In fact virtually every celebrity dancer who has been rubbish has been perfectly aware that they are not cut out for dancing: in my eyes Craig was almost unique in apparently not being so.

He tried really hard and was hoping the comments might reflect that no doubt.
I applaud his effort and the way he continued to work hard and remain positive. His dancing was of the "floppy fish" variety but Flavia seemed to have given up on him long ago. Where were the poles up the spine? The corset to tuck him in? Did we just not see it or was it not done? Fabulous dancer she is. I know what makes a good teacher and she doesn't have those qualities. |

I always reckon its important to like yourself. One of the best ways to be unhappy is to try to meet standards other people set for you. Its better to set yourself your own standards and be happy. I hope Craig is still happy and now people will give him a break. He didn't actually do anything wrong unless you judge him by the wrong standard.
It was a dance competition dressed up as entertainment or entertainment dressed up as a dance competition. Craig gave it a go and learned to dance a bit - like everyone else. |

Thank you for wise words.
Craig was different from everyone else I've ever seen learning to dance, but he is a nice person - thats important. |

Always!
they are not aware of it At All - Fact! You have merely made bad assumption people tell bad dancers they are crap dancers and if enough people tell them they will accept it - but they are not personally aware of musicality in the slightest = hence they cant dance = they'll NEVER know they cant Obviously! |

Yeah I gotta say it really amazes me how he thinks he's really good!
On a slightly different topic, Alesha's comment "Zoe went out last week and I had to endure that!" was far ruder than Craig's "bush kangaroo" and yet nobody went storming out. Just shows how immature Brendan was. |

I don't really think someone can fully make that judgement unless you've been taught by her yourself. She did have Craig wearing a belt in training to improve his posture I recall aswell. Its easy to make judgements on the little training footage we see, but it can never be truly informed.

Isn't that saying he has a mental illness though? Saying that despite being faced with proof he still remains delusional?
but Craig was exceptionally impervious to evidence / reason... so glad he's gone.... |

We did see Flavia teaching Craig the basics before the Waltz and his best in training was better than he did on the night. I grew to doubt Flavia's teaching ability, and she only had one pupil (Matt D) who had talent, so we didn't have a large base of evidence, but I'm prepared to give her a free pardon on Craig - I think even Lilia would have struggled.

AD has gone up in my estimation, "Zoe went last week and I had to endure that". Brilliant.

It must now be a blessed relief for Flavia.

i think i mean that Craig (like many) genuinely does not know how bad he is at dancing and to interpret this dilution as conceit is wrong.
Just as some seem bissfully unaware what complete drivel they post as FACT. |
