However, I wonder why Ali does get a lot of stick over this sexy thing where the blokes don't (and by blokes I mean Chris as I suppose Ricky is ok in this department and gets a lot of positive reforcement of his image from the judges...well Alesha).”
There's a big 'meh' factor for Ricky on this forum - which must be at least 90% female. How many times have you seen him labelled 'dull', 'boring', 'no personality'? The conversation amongst his detractors - as far as I can see - has never progressed beyond that point, and from memory, I've never seen a post saying "Well yeah, he's dead sexy - but he's boring".
Ricky is undoubtedly beautiful to look at, but has about as much sex appeal as a - well, I won't say what, but because apart from anything else, I have no desire to upset his supporters. And I mean, none whatsoever. I'm just expressing a personal opinion. However, suffice to say that Ricky has no sex appeal because there's a lack of a certain vital spark. And I'll leave it at that.
As for Ali? A difficult one, that. I remember posting very early on that (in reply to criticisms about her being 'wet') that women - and this is quite a generalisation - warm to other women who have a bit of chutzpah about them. That's possibly why she's been derided in a lot of quarters. Moving on from that, I think maybe there's a degree of frustration amongst some FMs (me included) that she can't get past that 'girly' stuff and be a strong, assertive woman - and exhibiting one's feminine allure, sex appeal, whatever you want to call it - is all part of that. Or something like that.
Sits and waits to be hounded by Ricky and Ali fans.
