obviously with looks it's all down to personal opinion but I think she's a really pretty girl ... far more so before the DOI makeup department get their hands on her .. loved her Kss Kiss styling/makeup but she's been lumbered with some very dodgy hair styles/pieces

Neither female contestant is to my taste, but Chloe is quite plain in an inoffensive way whereas Laura is more striking. Both seem to be nice girls though but surely we should be judging on skating and imo (and clearly the judges) Laura has now proved she is better in several shows. Looks should be irrelevant, if the best perfomer and skater was unattractive - key examples Hayley Tammadon/Kyran Bracken, I'd still want them to win.

I think this thread was started as a bit of fun in response to a thread started about how beautiful Laura was ... think the intention was for people to post in support of each girl but as usual both threads have attracted the negativity along with the positivity

I don't think it was the intention to compare the two or to judge them on their beauty .. or skating for that matter

Fun......its madness, why do people work themselves up over such things, its like they are taking it as a personal insult (why??) because their favourite is being threatened - so they need to put others down? Talking about looks when this is about skating could be construed as vacuous or shallow, as I said I think people need to focus on the skating and performance a little bit more. Perspective is needed too.......when you look at whats going on in the Middle East, Japan etc and people feel the need to resort to insulting contestants on a TV show on an internet forum. I hope the people that engage in this behaviour realise they need to get a grip.

Chloe is stunning, Laura is stunning and Sam is stunning. I'll have all of them while you guys argue about it.

DOI Orgy spin off.....sounds like ideal ITV2 fodder, would probably attract a bigger audience than OMG with Peaches Geldof.

In fairness I don't think many are actually getting worked up about it.. as for vacuous and shallow then I guess that's all of us who've commented in this thread about looks ... lol

speaking of which I'm totally shallow when it comes to Michael Zenezini .. just as well I also think he's an awesome skater though .. to perhaps drag me out of shallowness

Of all the male pro skaters my personal favourites are Colin, Sylvain and Mark Hanretty (the last two left too soon)

yeah I quite like Sylvain .. although my favourite from the start has always been Matt (but Michael is challenging him now )

He's distinctive that's for sure.....I think you should choose him over Matt every day of the week. Out with the old in with the new!

oh no .. couldn't do that ... the more the merrier

Not your idea of stunning but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone wants to date a stereotypically stick thin model - yawn

And no need to post a picture of her like that. Very mean.

There are plenty of forums for serious issues and I'm almost certain that most posters on DOI are aware of the devastation recently experienced in Australia, New Zealand, Haiti and Japan not to mention the Middle East conflicts. Having a very dear friend in Queensland, Australia I wouldn't want a repeat of the fear and anxiety I felt whilst waiting for news, nor would I wish it on anyone else. The relief I felt when I learned of his safety was indescribable.

I've donated to all the relief funds and I'm sure many other DOI posters have taken similar action. I wish I could do more but I'm doing what I can via monetary donations.

I really don't think that seeking a little light relief by way of a light entertainment programme signifies ignorance or dismissal of world suffering.

Post a picture of yourself, perhaps, and let us judge you.

Mean-spiritedness is NOT a good look, hon.

I totally agree trevvytrev and off topic but how are ya diddling mate after SCD8?

But she DID pose for it?

she looks great in the Daily Mail today

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...#ixzz1HVaB9Jag

WoW She looks fab..
Lovely lean and toned legs. Come on Chloe, give it your all on Sunday and blow the competition outta the water, or off the ice

She is well fit.

She still looks like her dad though.

a lot of kids resemble their parents .. male of female .. doesn't mean they can't be considred pretty

you say "she still looks like here dad though" as if that's a bad thing .. I thought you were against derogatory personal comments being made about the contestants

Not at all, I think Richard Madeley is pretty good for his age. I don't think Chloe is pretty at all, and certainly not stunning, she's just OK.

She's a bit better than okay, but stunning is OTT. Good-looking, I would say.

that's fine although I do find it a tad hypocritical that only the other day you posted that you though I should be posting defending Laura from the posters calling her fat. You said you like to be fair and don't like personal comments being made about ANY of the contestants yet I don't see you defending Chloe from some obviousy OTT personal comments being made in here by a poster .. in fact you seem to be supporting/encouraging them ... which of course you're entitled too .. I don't expect you, or wish you to defend Chloe over any comments personal or not .. just thought it's a bit double standards considering your views on personal attacks on Laura

To be honest I haven't seen any OTT personal comments on this thread, nobody has called her fat or ugly etc.
