I'm trying to like her but I just can't because there's no journey involved... nothing to improve on. She's a great dancer but the show is about growing... I think she's peaked too early and this will go against her. Anyone else agree?
Has Natalie peaked too early?

Nope she hasnt. She is amazing and out of all the celebs she is the one I look forward to the most each week.
She is a good dancer with a great sense of humour, doesn't take herself too seriously and, most important of all, I enjoy watching her dance.
I don't think she was ever going to win, even if she tried to deliberately dance MOTR-ish for the first few weeks. So, it's whatever.
I'm enjoying the panicky reactions she's provoking.
I don't think she'll win but nevertheless she will be almost certainly the dancer-of-the-series.

Maybe, I'm sure there are lots of people like myself who just enjoy fantastic dancing, without the need for any gimmicks or time wasting .
Natalie and Artem are the couple I most look forward to seing every week .

I guess only time will tell, but I think you're probably correct. I think the BBC are setting her up for a DVO-style downfall.

bib: Could not agree more!
She and lovely Artem should make the final.
Yeah I like growing with the dancers watching them improve.
Plus she has no emotion with her dance partner.

Heh. Middle of the road.
Yes.
She's boring and its only week 3.
She'll be shoehorned into the final by the judges whether the public like her or not.
The thought of her for another 10 weeks is awful.

Yes,ordinarily a performance like tonight's would have got at least one ten.
What were they marking down - the errant hair?
Seriously? That's a serious question? 
She hasn't done one single dance that suits her personality, she's got all the really good dramatic dances left - tango, paso, AT.
I cannot wait to find out what Natalie can do with Artem's extraordinary choreography.

I don't know that she has peaked to be honest. I also can't think of one dance that she's going to do badly... So she's only going to get better, or stay on a level. A level which should get her to the final without much trouble.

Thats rather an odd thing to do...why would you want to miss out on some of the best dancing?Even if you dont like her surely you can appreciate her talent.
