There's just something about her.

She seems far too full of herself, far too loud. Overconfident.

And she made me cringe at her reaction when she got those 10's.

I much prefer someone with a bit of modesty like Patrick, who is an equally good dancer, but carries it with a bit more style.

I haven't really formed an opinion as to her personality.
I do know that watching her dance makes me feel oddly uncomfortable.

I have just watched her dance recorded from last night..and was mooching on here for the results..and was about to say exactly what you have said..there is nothing not to like really as she seems nice..but there is just something that stops me liking her..in fact am not struck on any of the BBC news girls..they all have a slight "Im better than you" attitude..whenever I have seen them perform for Children in Need or similar have felt the same..

Maybe it is lack of modesty..or the pretend modesty act..either way I am gladI have found someone who shares my views..as I thought I was alone.

She's a bit too keen for me, almost desperate

I concur. I really want to like her but there's something about her that bothers me for some reasons. She seems a bit " fake " imo. Way too eager and fake modesty imo.

Love Kevin but she leaves me cold, I'm afraid. Her paso tonight was outstanding though , I will give her that. Another dance of her that I liked was her tango but overall I'm not too keen on her.

This is what I see. She attempts to come across as down to earth but I see her as a bit calculated. Don't get me wrong, she's doing well but her demeanor just doesn't seem natural to me. I can't warm to her.

I feel genuinely sorry for you. All of the dancers remaining seem like nice, genuine people to me. Susanna's paso last night was just...wow. That someone can be genuinely overcome by marks for a performance they will have spent hours and hours practicing to me is touching.

I find her quite fake and I usually switch BBC Breakfast off now if she's on - since she started on Strictly she's taken to speaking over her co-presenter even more.

She's hardly lacking in confidence and the reaction to the tens was a bit OTT, as was the long lie down for a nap at the end of her paso.

I agree entirely - you're absolutely spot-on regarding BBC news/current-affairs presenters, they live in their collective bubble. They really do feel they're a cut above everyone else.

She wowed the studio audience and the judges. She and Kevin are way ahead on the week 8 favourite couple poll.

I get the impression she is popular with the public generally.

There have always been issues on here with celebrities that seem competitive. This is a competition so not really sure why it should be an issue.

She is just what many Brits love to hate - someone who wants to do well, to be the best at whatever she does and is competitive. The fact that she is an attractive woman also goes against her. I think she is conscious of all of this so tries to play down her reaction to good scores and as a consequence her reaction can come across as false modesty.

She seems to work hard, has improved over the series and is competing with the best celeb dancers in the show, so as far as I am concerned she is deserving of any success she achieves and why should be embarrassed about it?. Good luck to the girl.

P.S. She can flash her knickers at me any time she likes, although I might struggle to fit into Kevin's matador outfit.

I don't think she's especially competitive...she just seems that way compared to the simpering "look how lacking in confidence I am", flutter lashes act that many of the ickle girlies put on.

You need to check out the unappreciation thread.

Its interesting how the same show can be interpreted so differently by different people.

I like her and don't see what some of you see.

Just to flip it, I see things that Brendan does which I dislike yet others don't see it.

It would be a boring old world (and forum) if we didn't have our differences.

Good judge , agree about the general BBC girls attitude but Susanna is a grade A MILF

There is nothing wrong about being competitive, always trying to do the best you can. Having confidence is great, it's the way you present it to others which matters. Patrick is confident, especially in his Latin, but he presents himself far more unassumingly than Susanna. She wouldn't carry herself like she does on breakfast tv if she didn't know exactly what she was doing and the effect it was having!

I don't like her but I noticed last night both her and Abbey as well as Brendan and Sophie congratulated Nat on her Dance which was nice to see.

Interestingly Susanna and Kevin are streets ahead in the poll for favourites.

Bit too Head Girl for my taste and overdoes the Ronseal.

Just feels over promoted by the producers, which is not her fault but I do find it annoying.
