Wasn't that comment a joke? Certainly don't remember it being "bitchy", or are everyone else's comments about their fellow celebs marks/dances etc jokes but not her's?

She was going on about how Ali was 'quaking in her little slippers' in this really bitchy tone. There was a thread about it last week.
She was joking. She knows Ali is streets ahead of her as do all the men when they talk about Ricky W.

She wasn't too complimentary about Brian in her BBC radio2 interview either. Why make personal statements about someones looks
Indeed, especially when she has come under attack herself regarding her looks/weight. There is a time and a place and on SCD you need to act with a big of dignity.

Not at all, Im not like the 'one rule for <insert vilified celeb's name here> and one rule for the rest'.I can appreciate a joke but I just didnt feel it was meant completely in jest to be honest.

No, it was said in a lighthearted way, as many people commented in the thread last week which you mention.

Ali has used a similar jokey tone about a rivalry with Ricky W. All the contestants do it.

She is incredibly annoying not to mention has all the grace of carthorse, yes she is enthusiastic and she puts the hours in but she is just a great big mass of flailing limbs, she has only two expressions and has exhausted them both throughout the weeks.

Also, she needs to stop harking on about her weight - she does it in every interview she gives - whatever size she is if she wishes to be known more for her acting (although her skills in that department are somewhat limited too) or for her performances she should just stop going on about how happy she is at size "x" - if she was truly happy and comfortable in her own skin she wouldn't mention it in every interview she has given since the DVD debacle and since signing up for strictly.
Have to agree with your comments also annoys me that she never shuts up even Vincent can hardly get a word in and thats a first!!

I can't take to her at all and I don't get that she and Vincent have a 'great' partnership; he alway seems a bit subdued and doesn't seem as warm towards her as he has with previous partners.

Like half the DS population you mean?

Of course there is the other side of that coin - Rachel e.g was hardly the life and soul of the party so Vincent had to compensate for her.
Natalie holds her own this year.

I don't get all the Natalie love to be honest, but all the other celebs seem to love her so either she's like the Godfather of Strictly and they are too scared to say otherwise or she genuinely is a nice girl.

I dunno, I still dislike the way she gets extra points for effort and enthusiasm each week, if I were her I'd find that rather patronizing!

I feel real sorry for Vincent, poor bloke he can hardly say I want to sit on her head or please give her a gag... Natalie seem to be a compulsive talker and imo could drivel for england.

I admire her enthusiasm and energy but I don't enjoy watching her dancing. I feel the judges are too soft on her most of the time and I don't see any chemistry in her partnership with Vincent. For me she lacks grace and natural ability.

She was begging for 9's on ITT - nee naw nee naw - don't think that will happen somehow - she is overmarked as it is.

That made me quite cross last night on ITT. I did like her enthusiasm at first but I am gradually going off her.

No its not what i mean. Probably half the DS population is uncomplimentary about Natalies weight too but you wouldn't expect to hear anyone from the show saying anything negative about it on national radio.

I like her personality but she annoyed me begging for 9's, she has been overmarked quite a lot already. IMO

Lol, but she already has a bigger wish and that is to get to the final.. Does she really think she's that good enough? I wonder how their showdance will be?

And she wants to win it, now her favourite Zoe has been knocked out! (people took that very personally didn't they?)

I am the other way around, I do not enjoy her dancing but I have enjoyed her enthusiasm. However that is now wearing thin so for me her time is nearly up.

I have no problem with Ricky W. He is a good looking bloke and doesn't appear to be too cocky with it. More important than that though is the fact that he can dance.....

I didn't hear it but my friend told me she heard a radio interview with her and she said he looked like a vampire, could be that one. My friend wasn't too impressed as, though not a Strictly nut, she really likes Brian.

I'm sure Natalie's just having a laugh but she's perhaps a bit insensitive. I like her generally and I didn't think I would before the show but do feel her dancing is overmarked.

She's shallow and fake. Can't stand her.
She really put my back up when she was promoting her keep fit DVD on Radio 1. With so many teenagers with body issues listening, the self-satisfied moron said she had been aiming to slim down to a size 10, but when she got that far, she decided to keep going to a size 8. Can't you just imagine girls across the country pushing their plates away?
I think it's extremely harsh to call her a 'self-satisfied moron'. I'm not a fan of hers and her constantly open mouth gets on my nerves, but she doesn't seem to me like a moron.

The problem for me with this year's show is that there are no stand out stars. Jade and Chris are my favourites but the others I find to be a bland lumpen mass.

The clue is it was a fitness DVD - not advocating extreme dieting but exercise.
To my mind it is more moronic to be unable to distinguish between the two

I know what you mean. I am now indifferent to her because I'm bored with the fake over exhuberance punctuated by snide comments about the other contestants ( her pointed fremarks about Ali and her ballet slippers last week was uncalled for), and am just wondering why she's still there?

She's not a good dancer and won't get any better. She keeps on and on about her weight, but that's not why she's a hopeless dancer so why does she mention it?

The judges indulge her every week and it's time she went. I won't miss her and her daft two expressions. Silly girl.
I could not have put it better, she annoys me,as soosn as she has danced she starts about wanting to still be there next week.

No, she didn't beg for 9's.

What she said was that she needs to start getting 9's or she will be out of the competition.

That is stating the obvious, not begging. What she seemed to be doing was acknowledging the great marks that some of the others were getting.

There was a bit of a hesitation between the 'I need to get some 9's now' and then the 'or I'll be out'. It didnt come across as acknowledging the great marks when you couple it with the persistant 'I want better scores' VT's throughout the weeks.
