I didn't want Natalie to win because she wasn't winner material but I'm glad she got as far as she did. She brought a lot to the show.
I argee (well I would have got rid of her two weeks ago but it wasn't a travesty she was still there) and their exit was one of the most moving I've seen on SCD - they obviously had a lot of affection for each other. I won't miss her as it was her time to go but I think she added something to the show and it was good she got as far as she did.

Unfortunatley throughout the series the Judges have commented on her"enthuisiasm" and not on her dancing. Giving her the wrong signals about herself. Last week and this week, she has had critiscism and she did not like it, hence, butting in on Len and making excuses as she has done every week.
She really thought she was alot better than she was, and I blame the Judges for that.
Her enthusiasm brought much enjoyment to the programme: I don't for one minute think she believed, realistically, that she would win the competition - but what is life without dreams?

What you might see as an excuse, I see as a reasonable basis for mitigation.

You didn't like her - she's gone - be happy.

I liked her, I thought she was an ok dancer but I couldn't consentrate on her dancing for watching her mouth and facial expressions, it was really off putting for me and why did they always seem to put her in awful outfits , her size and looks didn't come into it as far as I was concerned, and if it was down to enthusiasm then Natalie would have won the show. I felt very sorry for Vincent though, poor man.
Yes you are right. Her hair and make up was awful, and they did not give her the best dresses either. She looked older than she is.

Both Gethin and Matt Dawson have tweeted that they will be texting her (they probably feel they were the kiss of death for saying she was their fav on ITT) I have asked both of them to tell her how much she will be missed by a fair few Strictly fans.

That's lovely of you, Jan.
Judging by the audience tonight, many will miss them.

Absolutely agree with you .From day one the judges didnt giveher any hint of her heavy footedness and no one mention her gaping mouth .
Her butting in tonight was actually a little pathetic for me

Not that particular post fredster - and tbh I tire of trying to explain my point of view.

I'm sure you get my drift.

There are plenty of other anti-Natalie threads on here, such a shame to see this one going the same way.

Will miss them also. Funniest thing ever was the ITT bit when Vincent was saying he was 'cream cracker-red' and Nat's reaction, they were very funny together.

I loved Natalie and Vincent.

But Nat isn't a great dancer. She was huge fun though and goodness she tried really, really hard.

And I adore Vincent and thought they were really great together.

I'm not sad they're gone, it was their time to go.

And I am so glad they had such a heartfelt and wonderful send off - real enthusiasm, effort and charm there and that makes us happy.

And I will miss them terribly.

Well, I think she's very pretty and who cares if she's not a stick insect? She's lost weight, toned up and looks like a normal, healthy human being. I'd much rather see her on TV that Posh Spice or Nicole Richie. A much better role model for young girls, body-wise.
No she is not and that is the usual tosh trotted out about anyone fat on TV. She is overweight and more than likely obese. She is not a good role model at all.

I'm really going to miss Natalie and Vincent, a terrific partnership. SCD is going to be a lot duller for me from now on.

I felt really emotional at their exit, and their ovation was well desereved.

As others have said, she maybe wasn't the best dancer and I concede she was the worst of the 5 tonight, but definitely she is the heart and soul of SCD.

For the first time this series, I felt the reluctance from all concerned in the studio to vote her off and the affection from everybody was plain to see - how could anyone doubt it?

Well done Natalie and Vincent for the joy you've given over the last 11 weeks, I've loved your contribution.

(As a geeky aside , at this point in time, Chris and Natalie are exactly neck and neck in points )

I will miss Vincent , poor guy was well and truly lumbered this series. Natalie was so OTT it wasn't real, she acted like an over excited teenager and lumbered around like a sack of potatoes in the silliest of costumes and daft hairdo's, tonight they made her look like a clown.I think someone was taking the pee out of our Nat.

I agree Seymour - in my opinion Natalie was very OTT, and extremely irritating. She had to have her say tonight when she mouthed off at the Judges when she disagreed with their comments. She did not dance her Rock and Roll as well as Ricky and the other Natalie and I, for one, am relieved she has gone as her Pollyanna on Crack routine was starting to pall.
