I like Susanna. Don't know much about her but she seems very dedicated to putting in a good performance and when I heard she had 3 little kids, as well as holding down a full time job...well good on the girl I say!

Why is it ok for you to have a negative opinion of Susanna but nobody can have one of Natalie?
There's negative and negative. I have watched Susanna on breakfast tv for years and have never taken to her. I have always thought her unfriendly and snobby. As least I hasn't judged her after seeing her on Coronation St.

The very little I watched of Breakfast I found her to be none of those you've described?

That's ok, we all see things differently. It's just my impression of her.

Why do you say that? She's not at good as a few others, and doesn't deserve to.
Really? She was the best last night from what I saw. And if she is the best in the final she will deserve to win.

Well your reply is pathetic. I am not going from thread to thread posting nasty things about her as some Natalie detractor's do about Natalie, I suggest you go and call their posts pathetic.

Yes! The dance was brilliant last night, Kevin was brilliant last night, Susanna was average.

As it it, she doen't deserve to win, but if she improves vastly, and is the best in the final then yes, she would deserve to win, but at it stands, at the moment she doesn't.

What constitutes deserving though?

It's not all about who is the best technical dancer, or the funniest or the most likeable.

It's a mix of all those things, including who has improved, how well their dancing partnership gels with the public and who the viewer connects with.

I am aware of this. We were talking about Susanna dance ability at the moment though.

It's not the common thought that Susanna Reid is over competitive, smug, over confident, head girl etc etc..... There is just something about her that irks me so much.

I don't know Susanna Reid but because she's a TV personality we have the right to comment on this.

Susanna Reid is supposed to inform and entertain in her current roles.... She does neither for me. I don't watch Breakfast anymore when she's on and she most definitely does not entertain on Strictly..... I have to leave the room or fast forward if I'm on my own.

I don't like the woman and I try to pretend she's not in this series.

Susanna Reid is what she is.... A tidy looking woman in her forties who, unfortunately, can dance a bit.

Apologies if I offended you however, you did say she wasn't yet deserving to win. Many viewers may think she is due to all manner of factors.

I'm not sure if she would be my winner, as of now I don't have an outright favourite.

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.
She's used to live television, which I guess most/all of the others aren't - consider that this might be the 'real' person, whilst the others are being a bit reserved. That would put them out of step with Susanna.

I've never watched breakfast TV so she was a unknown to me at the start. Over the weeks I've warmed to her and her and KFG are my favourites.

Ive met Susanna professionally-I dont work for the BBC though and am not a fan of Strictly per se -and she is a friendly down to earth woman.From what Ive seen on Strictly she's modest and humble,dont see the dislike for her really.

Abbey Clancy on the other hand thinks she is something special,almost as if she is better than other contestants being a WAG

I quite liked her at the beginning but from week to week I've found myself disliking her more and more.

I think it's the far from below average Samba that did it for me and then her reaction to the scores afterwards.

I just don't find her endearing at all and I don't like all the Kevin from Grimsby hype either - but that's a different point altogether and probably for a different thread.

As she was the best last night it says a lot about the others then. She out danced Natalie, Abby & Sophie :yawn:

She didn't. Kevin did. Susanna was an extra in the Kevin extravaganza.

I have never watched Coronation street but I do think all the hype about Natalie's injurys and ? faint is getting boring and not doing her any favours. Brilliant cartwheel by he way, hope her injury is not playing up after it


Susanna seems a bright intelligent woman with a sense of humour and a good partnership with Kevin ...never hear her moaning

Yes she did. It's easy to miss because the camera moves towards and focuses on Kevin because of his leaps.

Sure. You've been taken in by the Grimsby smoke and mirrors. It happens .

And when her back was causing her problems one week she quickly shussed any mention of it when Tess brough it up post-dance.
