I don't want to change my vote. I voted for how I felt at the time I voted.
I'm just pointing out that reacting so OTT isn't going to do who you support any favours. Just be happy they are doing well on the favourite poll.

To be fair, it would be an over-reaction to vote against/for someone because of the actions of their supporters. Petty even some might say.

and why do you insist that some of us are trying to change your opinion. It is difficult to change anyone's opinion when they so obviously dislike a competitor and for such petty reasons.
It is ridiculous that Hayley and Dan are the 'least favorite couple' and I really don't think many people can disagree with me here....but I'm just pleased that they are top of the 'favorite couple' position (right now, anyway) Funny how that works........EH ? :P

It's not ridiculous.
It's just people's opinions. I don't see why people should feel forced to like a couple they don't like.They have a lot of fans, and a lot of people who really dislike them. It's just a classic divisive couple - people seem to either love them or hate them.
Nothing wrong with that.

Well when I looked at the poll before writing that message Hayley and Dan were at the top....hence I put in brackets (right now, anyway) !!!

calm down, just pointing out that it wasn't the case anymore and that Daniella now has the lead - no big deal, Hayley is still comfortably 2nd with Mikey and Kieron 3rd/4th.
Still quite a big divide there between the top 4 and the other 3 and its the ones again who seem to be able to perform that get the votes
At the moment my least favourites are Emily and Fred, which is slightly surprising given that Fred is in my top 5 on the favourite professionals thread.
Fascinating that Hayley and Dan seem to be such a "love 'em or hate 'em" couple....that often seems to be the way with those who appear (one of) the best early on. Not sure why that should be the case but it very often is true. Think of Ricky Whittle on Strictly, Danyl on X Factor and even Ray Quinn seemed to polarise opinion despite the fact that his skating was head and shoulders above any other celebs.

Hayley is marmite - either love her, or hate her.
I love her
Hate marmite .... however :-P
Hayley has read this and seems to be either unhappy (understandably) or upset about it, so maybe people could keep their criticisms to her skating and dancing, rather than the personal insults.
She's not my favourite (this week) but I don't really understand why Hayley's top of this poll. She works hard, does good routines, doesn't change her music without asking T&D and has a positive attitude. Her crimes seem to be being "too good" and having an annoying smile, which is rather a pity.

People put themselves in the public eye and are open to scrutiny. It's the nature of the business. If she doesn't like it, she shouldn't read it. I wouldn't.
It seems okay to call Gary dull & Emily spoiled. Hayley isn't exempt just because she reads it.

Who said she was too good? I don't think she's that much better than Daniella & Gary.
The most common reasons are annoying and comes across as false.
Some people agree, some don't. Nobody will change their minds because some manic fan on a forum says so though.
Actually just read Hayley's tweets. I wonder what she expected. Complete praise? Why did she call people "bitter"? That doesn't make sense.

Just this once, I'll totally agree with you, Strictly_Irish!
Most of the skaters have been subject to some criticism. If you go reading forums about you, then you can't expect to always read glowing praise.

It's not okay to bash Gary or Emily, but there's a lot less of that going on. Partially that's because Emily isn't acting the way she used to.

Haha, it had to happen at some point.
