Will have to agree to disagree - it wasn't a good dance.

girning and posturing right of centre in the TESS pit for the entire show.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. A lot on here (mostly other women I would guess) don't like to see a (slightly older woman) taking part especially with enthusiasm.

We'll I didn't notice

No that's not it - we just don't like her or her dancing.

I don't believe it!!!

She's even being blamed for the dress the costume department made for her to wear. This really is barrel-bottom-scrapping!!

some men with taste can see through shallow women like miss " its all about me ".

I for one and me mates regards her as " High Maintainance" and Me me me demanding controlling type.

Sorry if that annoys people, but not all men are pervs and many can see through the act / facade.

She has an unnatural personality, and is probably a bad tempered person if doesnt get her own way.

If its to good to be true ....

That would be the Royal 'we' I assume?

One eyed ?

Ok goldberry1 who are you supporting just out of interest & debate.

I wouldn't say she was aweful, even though I find her dancing odd at best, I always think her shoulders look hunched, do not like her mouth open all the time and I disagree with those who think she is absolutely going to be in the final
My own opinion is based on her dancing alone as I have never watched her before strictly. No problem with her confidence , tho I believe the judges have much to do with that as their critique is very favourable most times and sometimes unjustly.

all in all I just don't get her..

Talk about exaggerating

Strange to say - hard as it is for some to believe - there is more than one person who doesn't like Susannah or her dancing.

I haven't a clear favourite.

......but there are plenty who do like her dancing too, even if it was not good this week.

A little bit of objectivity goes a long way.

Thank you for that, mr self appointed man of taste. People have different opinions and you and your mates have yours.

Just, try not to be so judgemental as to why folk might disagree with your holier than thou taste.

It is possible that many folk ( guys indeed ) just genuinely like the enthusiasm she brings to each show and are not just shallowly won over by a slightly older woman wiggling a bit in a skimpty dress, such as to get called "pervs" !

Just unbiased

She did I noticed it as well.

Harsh, but yes from what I have read, fair about yourself

I expect she would be devastated to know that 'you and your mates' don't reckon her. Intelligent women often make men feel emasculated

I never noticed her at all in the Tess pit, amazing isn't it how personal preference makes such a difference.

And naturally not one word of that wee tirade has any basis in your personal agenda - despite your not having the merest vestige of evidence for any of it.

As it happens I don't think it was a good performance - but it was also the first time she underperformed compared with say Ashley. And several performers got overmarked (again) for dances which were really low in content. At least she gave it a go.

But none of that has ought to do with their personalities about which, may I suggest, we know little or nothing.

Because I think 'groping' on TV is cringing !!

I think it's called having a bit of fun !

That really was done for effect. She does like to hog the limelight and make out she's dazed when she gets high scores. The constant gurning is very off putting. This being her second latin dance, again shows she has to wear a revealing dress that screams look at me. Yes I will be happy to watch you dressed like that if you were somebody who could pull off a professional dance which is what you're desperately trying to do. I really do think she watches the female dancers and tries too much to emulate them. Another thing is, and this will no doubt be jumped on, she hasn't got very slim legs. Why doesn't she play to her female mature curves in a sexy way as she does on BBC breakfast?
