Loving Dave ... and predict he will be there until only the 'seriously good' are left (Natalie, Sophie, Ashley, Abby, Susanna and another 'improver' at the end).

Well unless we see another side to his character that we don't like! But so far, loving his attitude and howl with laughter at his dancing. TV gold

Dave's dance last night absolutely horrendous. I didn't find it funny at all and I am tired of him already. We have had "dancers" like him in too many series so it's becoming boring much quicker now. I can't see him improving at all he just stomps around, has no rhythm, and I think he is like Vanessa and thinks he is better than he is. I've never watched his shows so didn't know what he was like at all but I find him irritating. I will probably even give all my votes to Julien next week just to try and get rid of him he really really annoyed me last night. Julien was incredibly OTT on the first night but he has calmed down and I genuinely believe he is trying to improve although I can't see him lasting much longer.

I love him but he needs a proper ballroom where he has to learn some technique. Foxtrot or QS. You can't 'bluff' those so much.

I'm sorry but the Clown 'oh I am so funny because I am useless' number just doesn't entertain me.

Once is fine, but after that I think you should stop insulting the intelligence of your audience, some of whom actually like dance.

I felt that last night he was revelling in his useless performance, playing to the gallery and doing the whole, 'yeah I am so crap I am a STAR' and thinking he was being so anarchic, rebellious and brilliant. He was just an unkempt bore in need of a shave and a little bit of self awareness.

The one who is blossoming out of all of this is Karen, who looked amazing and has a lovely sense of humour. Mind you, she needs it.

Dave needs to come back to earth and stop hamming it up.

Mark is a prince in comparison. HE knows his limits and his work ethic and humble approach is both sweet and endearing without ever being cloying or fake.

Yep. Agree. I also watched his show to see if there was another side to him and just wanted to fling my shoes at the TV. I think he is a bore. Much ado about absolutely nothing.

My thoughts exactly

I don't think he is...and that's the issue I have with him.

I think he tried his best last week but not this week.

NOT AT ALL. I will be voting for him until the final 6 (if he gets there )

The novelty "fun" factor wore off after a few seconds last night. He might be having fun, he might be giving (some) people a laugh, but he is not dancing, neither is he learning any real technique.

I would question that he is trying. At the moment he can get away with it but once better dancers r against each other in the dance off I think thats when it gets ridiculous. However this happens most years and I cant see it changing. As people say Mark is at least trying to improve and I hope he outstays Dave cause I cant see that he is putting much into it.

Anyone else getting tired of Dave and Karen's comedy routines?

Yes:yawn:

LOL!

I've got nothing against the comedy act, but only as long as they're at least trying to dance. I've no time for somebody not even trying to learn the basic steps. Last night wasn't even an attempt at dancing, he and Karen had just decided he'd always be hopeless so just fool around.

Dave will probably outlast Julien and Vanessa, the only two other dancers with no real aptitude, but everybody else after that is actually trying to dance and all of them are at least competent in one discipline, so it would be nice if he went after that.

I find Karen very odd looking! Pretty face but the body is very masculine
