I think it can be somewhat justified in terms of the way the show presented itself this week - she topped the leaderboard this week, the judges procaimed her to be the one to beat, everyone else is on a downward slide after Blackpool and put in sub-par performances (by their standards).

Naturally I think a lot of people would disagree as to whether that is true, or whether it means anything in the long-run, but if this were a sporting event she'd be the favourite, and there's no solid evidence at all that she's not pulling in the public vote.

Really I think they're just trying to keep the last few weeks interesting, and feel wide-open. One minute Matt's the favourite because he won in Blackpool and he dominates It Takes Two, now it's Pamela because she's the only one not being subject to the Blackpool Blues. Ups and downs, swings and roundabouts. It'll probably be someone else after this weekend.

Might be contrived, but it's better than last series, when their storylining was saying "Ricky and Ali are the Judges Favourites, but Chris is the People's Favourite so who will win the public vote in the final????" over and over again.

I know he had a shaky start in the show, but since then James has developed into a great pro partner IMO - fiercely loyal to his celebs and dedicated to choreographing and teaching them in the very best interests of their development and progress. In light of all that I can forgive the fact that he is, on occasion, in the interests of honesty, a tad brusque.

How rude.

I agree. I think face lifts always look most unnatural.

I didn't see the prog but I can't see them beating Kara/Matt. I wouldn't begrudge them though - they have worked extremely hard and done some wonderful dances.

I think it should be either Kara or Matt to win (would prefer Kara she's my favourite).Would be bitterly disappointed if Ann even gets near the end. Hopefully the GBP will realise this week and we could then end up with a good competition.
Not keen on Pamela, never have been really, but for her age she has done well.

Pamela was very popular this week on twitter, as she has been from the start.
More popular than Kara from what I've seen and not far off Scott and Gavin.
Matt is way out in front. ..and I sense people are getting bored of Ann.

I reckon Matt is a cert for the final, with 2 from Pam, Scott and Kara filling the other places.

If i had to have a bet, I'd be puting money on Kara being the one to miss out.

I think the poster was rude and nasty. You are defending the poster's right to be rude and nasty about someone they don't even know, so don't be hypocritical please.

I fail to see why the forum rules allow people to be nasty to celebs they don't even know, but you can't say anything to people who can actually answer back. At least I wasn't being cowardly like the poster.

Why would you make comments about someone's appearance if you were happy with your life and the way you looked? You simply wouldn't.
