I felt she was over-marked and it was almost because she is so overweight.

Like the judges were over-compensating to make sure they weren't seen to be discriminating because of her size.

Ultimately, she was enthusiastic but nowhere near as good as Kimberley.

No it was because she was brilliant. We were all clapping at the end in this house.

It's not a jibe.

I felt she was over-marked and was giving a potential reason for the over-marking.

Her foot movement was better than the superfit and slimmer ladies that have gone before her.

No. It's because it WAS good, best chacha of the night, irrespective of her weight. She had clean lines, lots of bounce, full of energy, and they took risks.

Because she is a larger lass, it was even more impressive, and yes, there will be things she'll struggle with - everyone struggles with something. But still best dance of the night.

I thought she had great rythm and timing. Maybe the scores were a tad elevated due in part to the surprise factor of her confidence and competence (let's face it,ordinarily you don't expect large people to be quite so light on their feet) but that gal can definitely dance and i reckon the marks were well deserved.

It was okay, not better than all and definately not amazing. I thought it was a bit stilted actually. Just IMO

I totally agree here.. if she were a size 8 she would have got an average mark of 4 from the judges I feel... Its not a 'fat' jibe at all.. wonder how many of those that were all 'clapping' at home..(which i find a little strange in itself anyway) would have done so if she was an average size ( And no im not saying an 8 ! ) of 12/14

The sad thing is that she will very quickly become a novelty act and then progress to a laughing stock ..:

Sorry why is clapping at home weird? The kids are loving it and dancing about and clapping and we are enjoying it with them. Not weird at all. You need to lighten up.

No, it was because she deserved every one of those marks! She was the best of the night, the only dance I really enjoyed and smiled throughout.

I never said weird... and I knda though it was the adults who were clapping.. ( which I do think a little strange)I of course think its great that the kids are enjoying it... mine are too

It is only my opinion so please dont take it personally.

We were clapping as well, and we don't have the excuse of having children.

We do have animals, do they count.

Strictly is my escapism, and I want to be entertained. Lisa's dance entertained me.

It was good but not worth an 8 and sorry it wasn't as good as Louis's dance.
