Never having been a fan previously, I really warmed to James on the second SCD tour when he danced with Cherie. They danced beautifully together, and he was so protective of her in his comments to the judges and audience. A perfect gent

I don't think James has changed he just been allowed to show more than one side to his personality. That said I still find him a repulsive hypocrite.
... James is no hypocrite. There was a huge and unnecessary barney kicked up over the JS scandalgate mainly pushed by a certain tabloid and a couple of excessive squeakers on the BBC Message Boards. Why don't we just watch the dancing, when it comes, and comment on that? |

rehabilitation sounds like something they do to prisoners or drug addicts. What's the poor boy done?

I think he is going to get more popular this year, judging by the training video.
He seems very happy with Pamela - loved the little tongue in the side of his mouth after she did a move, as if to say "Did you see that?" |

He says vote for the dancing in series 6 but not in series 5 when Ola's partnered with a man who makes John Sargeant look like Fred Astaire, and much as I loved Chris James was a hypocrite again backing Chris. I've been waiting 5 series for a partner who can bitchslap him, I hope Pamela Stephenson is that woman. If she can keep Billy Connolly in line... Quote:
So he's a hypocrite for being supportive of his wife?
People's opinions can change you know, it's not a crime, it's called growing up and accepting that you may have been wrong. Why is James not allowed to do that? I have no problem with people disliking him, that's everyone's right to do, but to call him a hypocrite and refuse to accept that he may actually have changed annoys me. You can't tell for certain until this series, and if he doesn't tell anyone this year to vote for the dancing, will you then believe he has changed? |

I dont think he had to change as a person, or personality, just had to accept that it wasn't a dance competition, but a dance/popularity contest, which he seems to have done.
No big deal. |

I've always liked James and have never thought he was in need of rehabilitation.

I would love James to win as I have always liked him but it isn't very likely as his partner is 60 years old.
He was an excellent presenter last year and I hope he does more of that. |

c'mon harsh on Chris Hollins (and get his name right if you're going to diss the guy). He's a bit like Mr Darcy in my book in that he made a bad first impression and is now trying to atone for it - half a result of living and learning and half just being misunderstood. I don't agree with what he said about JS but I do understand his POV and if it's the second year you've been eliminated at the expense of someone whom was a lot less talented than your celeb and the only time it didn't happen to you it did to your wife then I understand how that grates - he also admitted at the time of the JS affair that Ola didn't agree with him which I thought was honest.
The thing that really bugged me is James only said anything when he was on the receiving end. Did he complain when better dancers partnered by other professionals were on the receiving end? No. Who's name did I get wrong? |

Me neither. Two things can change a person's personality; a serious brain injury or 10 years of psycotherapy, I don't believe he has had either! Leopards and spots and all that!

Wotcher langwidge, mate. This is a "discursive forum" and personal remarks like yours using words like "repulsive" belong more on POV.
James is no hypocrite. There was a huge and unnecessary barney kicked up over the JS scandalgate mainly pushed by a certain tabloid and a couple of excessive squeakers on the BBC Message Boards. Why don't we just watch the dancing, when it comes, and comment on that? The dictionary definition of hypocrite is: Quote:
somebody who pretends to have admirable principles, beliefs, or feelings but behaves otherwise
James had principles about voting on the dancing in series 6 but supported someone who wasn't, terms of judges marks, the best dancer. I comment on James' personality because that's what this thread is about. |

Well why should he? He's not there to be a spokesperson for other professionals, they've all got mouths to say whatever they wish! it's their choice if they want to comment or not. And it wasn't your use of hypocrite that was being complained about, it was the adjective 'repulsive', which is frankly rude when in reference to someone you know, let alone someone you don't. |

He is self opinionated and would eat himself if he was chocolate and he is given far too much airtime. Do not like him at all
I can understand people disliking him if there is some foundation for it, but I don't think there's any foundation whatsoever for a claim that he 'would eat himself if he were chocolate'! |

Please provide an example of him being self-opinionated. There's nothing wrong with giving an opinion and defending it, and he has retracted several comments when later proven wrong, which he's also entirely entitled to do.
I can understand people disliking him if there is some foundation for it, but I don't think there's any foundation whatsoever for a claim that he 'would eat himself if he were chocolate'! eg. Billy Connolly was waiting in Pamela's Psychology waiting room and got talking to a mother in law and daughter in law who were there to see if Pamela could help them like each other. Billy got chatting to them and persuaded them there was no necessity for them to like each other and they went home. He then told Pamela why she had lost two customers.

Some people just dislike other people without having a reason - as I have found out over the years on this forum. Its not something to worry about.
