I'm not watching SCD, not at all my thing, but after watching her in the Olympics cycling i'm hoping she can do well on this - is she doing well?

She did poorly last night - forgot the routine

Keep voting for her - she showed real glimpses of ability

If your interested, just try watching. It's honestly a lot of fun. You might just enjoy it.

Her bike could have done a better job last night.

I only tuned in to watch her to , looks like i missed her

Poor old me! The world's always against her isn't it

The moment I saw her I knew she wouldn't be a dancer. I think once again Brendan has got a terrible partner.

Wouldnt it be great if Victoria could take a leaf out of Lisa's book and just relax, enjoy it and just go for it because i really think she has potential!

She might do this now. Maybe she needed a bit of a car crash. Brendan and her still have a lot of potential.

Disappointed that she didn't do well..

No thanks, Bruce Forsyth watching a bunch of washed up Z listers dancing is not my thing

No, it's much more fun to play forums when you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Why let the facts get in the way of a good troll?

Not tonight - nerves got to her and she forgot her steps. But if next week is a waltz in hold, then she'll probably redeem herself.

also don't forget that cycling is very much a team activity, including the training, whereas she's just had a measly 3 weeks one-on-one training with Brendan, with no backup team, and this must have felt really weird. No permanent feedback, so no idea what she would be like on the floor under the lights. She'll be kicking herself tonight.

She is still very much an unknown quantity, and I hope she does well. She could not have a better partner for the ballroom dances.

I hope Victoria does well too.

Thanks everyone, hopefully she can improve.. the public like supporting an underdog in these phone vote shows I think.


Troll? Seriously? I was just interested in how Victoria had done since I took a liking to her at the Olympics.

I'm sure that will go down well here in the Strictly forum

Actually it's a really good line up this year. Victoria will improve, I'm sure of it.

Aha, now we come to the real motive of this thread . . . .

Victoria didn't start particularly well I am afraid, but it isn't where you start, it's where you finish. I think she and Brendan will have enough of a support base to see them through the early weeks and so they will have time to improve and perhaps get quite far into the competition.
