Lisa has been overmarked since week one, in my opinion, but the judges don't seem to notice her mistakes.
Lisa Riley was so awful I wished Victoria was BACK!!!

Lisa thinks she is better than she actually is. Notwithstanding this delusion of hers, she is the best fat dancer ever on SCD. But she is not good enough to go any further.
I don't think she has improved at all from week one, she certainly won't have a "journey" to talk about when she eventually gets voted off, because she hasn't been any where.
I don't see any specific steps and the gurning and arm waving is calculated to detract from the shuffling about she does.

I have thought this through most of the series. In the beginning I was pleasantly surprised by her energy and sense of rhythm but IMO she has not improved and is by far the worst dancer left

Haven't seen your other quote, and I really can't be bothered to comment any more, it really is a waste of time. But she is one of the better overall dancers out of the whole competition, I didn't say she was the best, in fact I said she wasn't the best. But she's in the upper half.
She's one of the worst out of the remaining contestants right now. But out of all the competitors this series, she is in the top five or six easily. She has deserved to get this far, but I agree she is reaching her limit now when compared to the remaining contestants. But if she made it to next week and beyond I wouldn't mind at all. I'm not going to be ego-ish and explain what I do, but I do know what I'm on about.
Out of all the people that have left so far, she is a better dancer. If you really think she is worse than
Johnny Ball
Jerry Hall
Sid Owen
Colin Salmon
Fern Britton
Richard Arnold
Victoria Pendleton
Michael Vaughan
Then please let me know what you are drinking, so I can can make a note to never touch it.
TBH based on this evenings performance it was a shame we didn't get to see what Natalie would have done with Michael.

I think that Lisa is actually very modest.

Since people spotted you bumping your contentious old threads you bump those of others?
I like them both.
Victoria tried hard but was either crippled by nerves, or just couldn't dance. I never did decide which

Lisa at her worst is always better value than Victoria at her best. Even when she makes mistake after mistake like last week she still has gusto and looks like she's having a ball. Victoria usually looked liked she was praying to be put out of her misery 
At least Victoria recognised that the others were better dancers and knew when it was time for her to go. She said she felt guilty if people who she thought were better dancers than her were voted off.
She soon realised her limitations (as did her fans) and the worst thing for her would have been to have been kept on being voted through because of her popularity from the Olympics. As a sportsperson she would only have wanted to win on merit, not popularity.

I agree, Victoria had no illusions and knew she was not good enough .
Personally I think if Lisa does win this show it will change the dynamics of it and loose a lot of the regular audience .It might well gain a different type of audience who knows , but I know I wouldnt watch it if it turned into a half hearted dance show with lots of FUN and gurning and happy clappy dances .

Hear, hear!
When will you lot realise that many others seem to think the opposite of you as they are voting her through every week ...
Your points about her dancing and lack of improvement may be true but what is she supposed to do?? Not everyone can do a John Sergeant and bow out and, more to the point, why should they?

Excuse me but "us lot" as you call us are not stupid as you are implying. Of course we know that other people have different views and are voting her through. Are we not allowed to voice an opinion because others disagree now ?
I don't agree with the OP in wishing Victoria back, but am pointing out that Victoria recognised she wasn't as good as the others, Lisa doesn't.

Us lot ? we are entitled to have an opinion just as much as you are entitled to vote for Lisa .No one stopped them from voicing their enjoyment of Lisa at all

What I am saying is that however much you bleat on about how 'crap' she is, she is being kept in by a larger proportion of people voting for her than are voting for some of the others. Time will tell whether she has enough votes to carry her past her certain bottom placing tonight though.

Very well said, thank you.
