I'm not sure why she is so negative about her looks (unless she believes the Frankie Boyle stuff).

She is a nice looking girl - yes, Amy is prettier than her ( but everyone has people who are prettier than them or else we would all be potential models). I think Rebecca has lovely skin and beautiful hair. She suits her looks and is witty and warm.

I like her and think she is nice looking as well.

I suppose he is going to Amy, because she is the only single girl around his age.
I'm not saying that he should'nt be interested or fancy Amy , after all she is a very attractive girl/woman , but if I had some muscle problem, I would have opted for the sports person, who knows what they are doing.

Yes, she shouldn't be down about her looks.

So it's just me who likes her much less than I expected to.
Why? What were expecting her to be like?

That's what I find odd - she's exactly how I expected her to be, I always thought she was lovely!

I don't think she come across at all as self absorbed. She's seem like a pretty normal person. The same can be said for Kian and Lucy

Please enlighten me as to what you consider her failures are
As I can't see what could be considered as failure. She's only 24 and has won

Olympic Games
2 x Golds
2 x Bronze
Commonwealth Games
2 x Gold
2 x Bronze (All at the 2010 Games)
World Championship Long Course
1 x Gold
1 x Silver
2 x Bronze
World Championship Short Course
1 x Gold
1 x Silver
European Championships
1 x Gold
1 x Silver
1 x Bronze

Aged 19 she broke the 800m world record that had stood for 19 years and held it for 5 years. She is also still the holder of the olympic record in the 800m
Why has she retired from competitive swimming if she's only 24 ?

Another Olympian who didn't do herself any favours by going on Strictly Come Dancing, Victoria Pendleton .

She's retired at 24 because like she has said, 24 for a woman in swimming is quite old, especially when you have girls of 1 5, 16 , 17 etc,etc breaking world records. It's like gymnastics , the younger girls have the edge.

Adlington is so insecure... and a bit of a Prat to be honest. Amy didn`t push her off that seat at all.

You'd never hear a male Olympian talk like that because a man's looks aren't automatically used to determine his worth. Rebecca has achieved great things in her life, and she's only 24. Despite this, however, it's her looks that are often the topic of conversation. Frankie Boyle wouldn't have made a joke about a male athlete's appearance, because it's not a natural reaction to factor in a man's appearance when making a judgment on their value, as it is with women.
Slightly different but I remember Linford Christie getting all the lunchbox nonsense. It used to really pee him off.

In fact I rmemeber Jimmy Greaves saying it to his face once on a panel show and you could tell he was having to bite his tongue. He was fuming

I don't think she's a prat. But she is very insecure.

Amy is lovely but Rebecca is just a young woman who has always been put down about how she looks, and she's probably feeling a bit emotional and vulnerable out there.

I feel sorry for her.

Found it quite sad when she was talking to Amy about her figure, and in the telegraph house thingy, said that she always looked crap.

I really hope she does well.
I thought she would have.

I would like to see Becky win. She is natural, down to earth and really lovely. I can't understand why she has such a low opinion of her looks as I think she is very attractive.

The nasty comments about her looks are a bit mean I think, and Frankie Boyle needs to take a good look at himself before slagging anyone else off. Rebecca comes across as a really sweet girl and after all beauty is only skin deep.
