You have great taste if I may say so
Rebecca.....totally not what I thought
3 of 3
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'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.

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!

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.
Well I think she is very beautiful in so many ways, sooner have her massage me than anyone else in there.
Adlington is so insecure... and a bit of a Prat to be honest. Amy didn`t push her off that seat at all.

Agree there was plenty of room

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.

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.
