I seriously don't remember anything about her! Apart from the fact that her dresses always seemed a funny length, they were always mid shin like a little girl going to a party and that she looked like a doll toilet roll cover.

I don't remember a word she said or a dance she danced. I don't remember any training, any ITT - nothing!

Obviously the trauma of Austin going out was greater than I thought.

But I remember the odd Smug Vicar or Snowdonia dance. Rachel absolutely nothing.

Yup, absolutely no memories of her dances beyond the black negligee in one, which may or may not have been a rumba - mainly remember her eyes, very Bot, very very Bot

I remember the rhumba - but only because of the hatchet job TheWonderfulDayVarchandtheStrictlySingers did on the song.

I remember her brothers, though

Were they the ones that looked like the Mitchell Brothers?

Indeed they were...

Ah yes, I remember them as well

BE MY FRIEND RIGHT NOW.

thank god I thought it was just me. despite obviously being told at the time that the reason I thought she was dull was cos I is a jellus hatah, I'm glad to know it really was because she was the dullest person on the planet, duller even than Greyson

didn't Matdi angelos brothers look like the mitchells too? I am just merging all SCD brothers into one mass cockerney overweight balding mass?

By the way, the bandwagon's leaving soon.

Please jump on, everybody.

*Mutters quietly* Not all Londoners are cockney, Rachel comes from the leafy suburb of Southgate (went to the same school as Amy Winehouse, who wasn't a cockney either )

Thank you, point proven. Rachel was an excellent dancer technique-wise (for a Strictly celeb, obviously) and I liked enough of her dancers to be a fan but her personality was... less than sparkling. And her performance quality often wasn't great. I don't remember anything about her interviews beyond "amazing" and "rollercoaster." There's a reason most people preferred the boys that year. Lisa was divisive and Rachel seemed to mostly remind people of one of those plastic ballerinas that spin in old fashioned jewellery boxes.

In fairness, I can remember her AT and weirdly her salsa, which I think might have been her first dance. I have a complete block on the rest, even the rumba.

^ This. Which is why I am so glad the dance-off is scrapped from SCD for good. I hope I didn't speak too soon before SCD brings it back on again.

I have to be honest, I remembered her rumba and the AT.

Gosh, I remembered more of Lisa's actually, and not all for the right reasons either... *resists temptation to mention what exactly I remembered*

I know that although not a londoner I've spent 20 years working there and l live within the M25 so I know's the difference

that's why whenever people start giving out about "that London" and it al being awful and dangerous and full of feral pearly kings who stab you whilst singing the Lambeth walk, I ask them which parts of Hampstead or Richmond they've been visiting

Yeah, that's mainly Lewisham

Christ, I literally choked on my coffee.

Morning DOTs!

The only interesting thing Rachel did during that series, was earn me a trip to Bognor because I posted a link to a picture of an english bull terrier and said I thought she looked like one! I wasn't saying she was a bitch, only that she had a slightly odd face!

Is Harry taking lessons from masterbating Yoda on how to be duller than dull? Last night he excelled himself!

I know. I do feel a bit sorry for him. they're so trying to make him all sexy and stuff and he's not. He's just so patently what he is - a nice well brought up public school boy who plays cricket and just happens to be in a band (and it's mcfly for godsake not areosmith). bless him, even his g/f is just an identikit nice young middle class well brought up young lady, no fake tan, acrylic finger nails or ironed hair for her

they just need to get married and have children called Charlotte and James

Or Olivia and Charles so they can be hip and call them Ollie and Charlie!

Sorry snuck in for a bit to appreciate that I am not the only one who can remember not a job about the Rachbot

His mum calls him 'Dinky' for heavens sakes ... on National Tele - while he sits there in a Val Doonigan cardi.

The Rock Star points must have plummeted to subterrainian levels at that.

oh god I'm now wishing he's g/f is called Caroline so that they can be harry, carrie, ollie and charlie

she was the original Bot - no other Bot has come close. Ali did but ruined it by showing actual emotion, even though it was irritating simpering emotion

did she?? kerist I missed that. probably too busy waiting for a rocking chair and real fire to appear for him

snerk! snerk! snort!

...such a sex symbol!
