In my opinion Natalie Cassidy and Ricky Groves are two of the most annoying contestants ever.

Craig Kelly would have been on my list too but luckily for me he has finally been booted off.

I find Natalies puppy dog enthusiasm so annoying. Her so called bubbly personality seems to have blinded the judges so much that they don't realise she has the posture of a sack of potatoes.

Now to Ricky Groves. What a pretentious waste of space. His face is disturbingly smooth and reminds me of a character in a horror film. The faces he pulls whilst dancing makes me cringe and the glasses he has taken to wearing have really annoyed me.

I'm sure all these contestants are nice people but they really do ruin strictly for me.

I do however really like Ola and Chris.

What is with the Natalie-bashing on here all of a sudden? Your comments are pathetic, there is no need to make personal remarks about the contestants.

I think she looks like a bull in a china shop when she dances...

You can't possibly like Chris' paso face surely? He looked like Tom Chambers doing the paso, though Tom has less excuse on his side seeing he was supposed to be an actor. But Chris' paso was cringe-inducing, expresion wise.

I have no problem with Natalie's personality and her dancing ability. She's clearly not the best dancer, and she's not pretending to be one. Also, Ricky can be annoying in his latin dance when he 'hams it up', but he's also a nice chap, and I don't find him in any other way annoying.

Ali, Rikki, Lalia. I dont like the first two the 3rd comes across to me as a whinger.

Natalie really gets on my nerves. She is so enthusiastic adn this crawling to BRuce every week, kissing his hand is painful.

It is merely my opinion which I have stated on a public forum.
Yee gods, are we only supposed to write positive comments now? If so, I'm off!!

Contestants signed up to a show where many of the public will judge them on their personality as much as their dancing ability.

Besides, I bet I'm only saying what a lot of people think.

My opinion stands.

Yes I agree she looks like a bull in a china shop.

Poor Ricky. I'm not sure that he can do anything about a "disturbingly smooth face". And as someone who has to wear glasses sometimes (instead of contact lens) I'm somewhat perturbed that people might find them annoying.

I do like Chris' paso face. It amuses me!

But only a size 12 bull

Are we just talking about the current series, or can we go back and recall kelly Brook and Lisa Snowdon?

This series, it is Ali who is really annoying me. Like a wet weekend, she is! And before he was finally booted off last week, Craig was intensely annoying.

I'm not saying you can't make negative comments, I was just saying that personal remarks on the appearance of the celebrities aren't necessary and are just pathetic.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I am equally entitled to disagree with it.

Also, I hope this doesn't descent into Natalie being 'fat' and that kind of thing. Strange someone could describe her sedate foxtrot performance as bull in the china shop.

Its because she's leaden footed (and that's nothing to do with her size in case the weight police are about).

I don't care what size she is - that's got nothing to do with why I don't like her.

Feel free to discuss any contestant on any series.

I would also add Lisa Snowden, I found her especially annoying.

I can't take any more of Natalie Cassidy's 'loving it', or isn't Chris such a loveable fella, or the annoying RickyG. I mute the sound now when any of those 3 appear.

Ok I gotta ask,

OP what precisely is it about Ricky Groves' glasses that annoys you?

I'm afraid I can't answer this question really.

All I know is that they do and I can't help it.

I don't have a problem with other glassess wearing people, I have been known to wear them myself on occasions such as driving and going to the cinema.

Maybe if he tried a different frame I would be happier.

This is such a funny post

I think she is starting to think she's a bit better than she is. She seems to think she's almost entitled to improve every week - I'm starting to see a touch of the Craig Kelly Syndrome about her. The difference is that the judges have done nothing to dispel these thoughts in Natalie; indeed they've positively encouraged them. I don't think she's particularly shown improvement in the last couple of weeks but she's still been rewarded with higher scores. She's not a bad dancer; she's better than any of those that have gone (bar Zoe) but she's being moved (score wise) so close to the top of the leader board now that I fear the syndrome could get worse. I'd like her to stop talking about scores and/or positions on the leaderboard (just in case that creeps in too) and just concentrate on enjoying the dancing.

How about a Dame Edna type of frame?
Could that help to make you feel less unsettled?

Are you serious?! A Dame Edna frame could only make me feel MORE unsettled!!

What a horrible thought!!

OK then, how about some Aviator mirror shades.
Maybe you'd feel better if you couldn't see his eyes???

Just trying to help.
You are obviously very distressed.

I think the Aviators are the best option!

Right, how do we make him wear them?

We need a plan.
