Criticising her ability to dance is one thing. Criticsing her as a person is a whole different ball game!
How does anyone know her smiling nature is not 100% genuine unless you have met her personally?”

And why is it not permissible even so to still find that irritating?

There are lots of (I am sure) genuinely lovely people who get right on my t*ts. I have nothing serious against them; I'm sure they have lots of people that love them and that many of them would find mucho fault with me too. It happens in life.

This is going to sound odd to say but I think Lisa dances well from the waist up but not as well from the waist down. When I've watched her it mainly seems the top half performs better than her body as a general whole. Yes I know, very odd view.

Along with a lot of people I love watching Lisa and Robin.
It's the sheer unadulterated joy that she brings to her performance that makes me smile and feel happier....
That can't be bad..........

I agree with that. In the Charleston all the energy going into the acting side of it could distract you from her feet and the lack of actual Charleston content.

The repeated use of the side-by-side sections does make a lot of their dances seem very 'samey' - and it can seem that they're trying to ape the success of their week 1 cha cha. I do not think this is a tactic that will see them safe very much longer - Tom, Kara, Alesha and all the previous champions (and indeed finalists) were so diverse in the styles they could do, whereas, yes, Lisa does seem to be cultivating a reputation for just being 'big fun'.

In addition, the 'sameness' of their dances and how the same thing is always the 'highlight' makes it more difficult to tell if she's progressing as a dancer. She started well, but a lot of the other dancers who didn't make the same impact in week 1, such as Dani, have progressed much more and are frequently outdoing her now. She's at risk of going the same way Anita did with Robin, not making progress as much so the voters choose to save somebody else who's slowly got better and finally overtaken her because she's stuck in a rut.

Sorry, that post rambled more than I thought it would - hope it made sense...

You have to blame Robin for the "sameness" of the choreography. I like Lisa and her positivity but the lack of variation or creativity of the dancing has become tedious for me.

I agree to an extent. I just don't think Lisa is capable of much more than she has shown. After her "jive" she promised to work on her footwork. She probably tried, but there was no evidence of it in her Charleston.

Yes it was all side by side repeat repeat last week!

At least not from Lisa and Robin.

I was going to post something similar but you've put it perfectly.
I see Robin's two previous partners were eliminated in week 9.

We are a nation of tubbies, the girl will have a lot of support from fellow porkers who see her 'giving it some welly'.
I'm a bit bored with her routines now, same old same old :yawn:
