Chemmy is a skier - nobody watches that much - although I do cos I love Ski Sunday!

She isn't as elegant as the other two girls but I like watching her and Shaun - glad they did that lift tonight - she can do the big stuff but she will never look as elegant cos they're tiny in comparison.”

And what soap would be that Jen has been in recently??

I was going to say something nasty about Chemmy, but your post sums it up better!

Yup, even despite his glowing praise of her skating, Robin was still commenting about her need for finesse. It's week 10 now, there is little excuse for her squared feet.

I really like Chemmy, but then I really value good sportsmanship as a trait. I can't see anything negative about her myself, so am surprised anyone would think nasty thoughts about her.

However, I am not completely naive; I suspect most voters find her too confident, too competitive and too jolly posh to be endeared toward her. Inverted snobs

I adore Chemmy, but sadly there is always one (often female, actually) who ends up in the bottom two continually.

I actually really liked Jessica Taylor too

Nothing wrong with her at all. But there are three blond women. The other two are trained dancers and have been on TV a lot.


She hasn't trained in dance and no one has seen her on TV before.


If she was in a different series where there were fewer trained dancers, she would have done better.

A strong minded attractive well spoken female all factors that a lot of but not all viewers of this type of show dont like imo. Some men are intimidated and some females are envoious of girls like Chemmy, seen it all before a bit pathetic but true imo.

Shocking legs too.........yes, yes I know she is a skier but she should stay out of frocks and preferably keep her pins....or rather trunks covered! Now......where is my handbag?!

Not really, I think it might be for that fact that she looks like Titanic on ice. I agree with the poster who said her dancing doesn't go with the marks she got tonight. Just because she is in sports doesn't equate for her being sporty on ice. Too heavy footed and slow.

I think Chemmy has done very well to get this far considering the public didn't know her before DOI as she hasn't appeared on 'entertainment' shows.

I think she's probably nearing the end of her time now on skating and performance ability. Matt. Jorgie and Chico are better than her imo and Jennifer's performances always look very graceful.

It's a public forum and if you're going to make such douchey posts then you should expect some backlash.

We comment on what we see and what I see is someone not as good as others, she is very very slow very similar if only slightly better than the American actress who was in Dallas and now I can't remember her name. The two greatest skaters which I think you mean Torvil and Dean? are there to promote a program are mentors of course they are going to be positive all the way where I have nothing to lose, just have an opinion and she is just too slow not good as others. Nothing against Chemmy just regarding her dancing on ice.

Charlene Tilton was the Dallas actress who escaped your mind dear Nanny.

Well you made up for it in later posts. Note you don't actually say anything about her performances just a load of personal insults baed on her looks.

I assumed they meant Robin and Kati, who are there to score and comment on the skaters. Robin, in particular, obviously rates Chemmy and knows a thing or two about ice dancing on which to base this judgement.

I thought we saw a lighter side of Chemmy last night in the girls group. Perhaps she comes across too focused and to be honest I did'nt know who she was before she came on the show. I like to see a good partnership between the Celeb and Professional and I have'nt seen that between her and her partner. I don't know him either and he's not come across as well as the other pro's. I can't put my finger on why.

I think she doesn't get the votes partly because she's an unknown on this type of show. She skates well but apparently not well enough to have the wow factor. She doesn't have the fastness and wow of Jorgie and Jen is now surpassing her and has more grace apart from that awkward lift she did at the end of the team performance - not her fault it just didn't suit her. To me she is competent but rather slow and unexciting.
