This is SCD is all about innit...doesn't like a person, so that her dance is crap I loved Natalie's dance, and thought that she was dancing from heart. Her dance never left me cold. This is just my humble opinion

Sorry - took longer than I thought because when I read it again I fainted in disbelief at such a weak and feeble attempt at baiting.


Obviously not seen the footage of Mark + Iveta in training have you?”

I'm not actually trying to bait you. But I really don't like your personal comments. Just because Mark pokes fun at Iveta's surname doesn't make it acceptable. And if he wore a Nazi uniform, would you do the same?

I see Artem + Natalie on ITT, with Artem rarely if ever looking at her - even facing away from her.

I see Natalie collapsing with exhaustion and reducing her training days.

I see Natalie at the results show each week not looking worried about being in the dance off - may just be by MY perception/opinion, but that's the way I see it.

With the exception of Fern Britton last year, who Artem actually treated more like a celerity learning to dance than a student to be moulded into a pro, I've not seen any closeness or connection between him and his partners.

No doubting their dances are technically good - but I much preferred watching Deborah + Robin, Susannah + Kevin, Mark + Ivetta Lukapoopoo because they (in my opinon) exude(d) more enjoyment and pleasure at dancing than Natalie + Artem do.”

BIB guess you didn't notice his closeness with Kara - the lovely lady he's been with since their SCD partnership?

As for your preferences for Deborah + Robin, Susannah + Kevin, Mark + Ivetta that's fine and surely what SCD is about. We form opinions about the participants often basing our opinions on nothing more substantial than what we see on our tv screens.Some appeal to us, others don't; we warm to some others leave us cold.

I have never detected a coldness between Natalie and Artem - but then I haven't been looking for it.

Poor Iveta having to put up with such a horrible, racist partner

And now that Godwins has been invoked - this thread has been killed.

Wonder if Kevin (from Grimsby) feels the same way ....

Mark's not poking fun. It's a pet name. He is, as Iveta says, 'her family here'. I don't think Toby J is poking fun either. The Nazis got here how? (Don't say 'across Europe' )

OMG!!!!!!!! How can you poke fun at Kevin like that???!!! Just because they call him Kevin from Grimsby on the show doesn't give you the right to mock him as well!!!!!! Have you no shame????????????

It's you, on a public forum poking fun at Iveta's surname.

Don't understand the rest of your post but I suspect you think you are being witty.

Pasha did well with Chelsee without treating her like crap. I agree that Artem has never really had chemistry with any of his partners. His choreography and music choices have been a bit suspect this series.

I haven't seen Artem treat Natalie 'like crap'. Have you? When?


You know for sure that all the pros choose their own music?

I'd actually forgotten about Kara - which I suppose tells its own story about my perception/impression of his partnerships on the show (or at least what we are shown) - and now you have mentioned her, I recall thinking that again, his choreography and content were always too intense and I think the judges actually pulled him up about it at points during the series saying he was making things too difficult so she wasn't getting the emotion into the dances.

I don't think there's a coldness between Artem + Natalie - just a lack of warmth. He is undoubtedly a great dancer, she is by far technically the best dancer on the show - but they don't 'move' me when they dance.

It isn't that I am looking for coldness - I look for good dancing, good chemistry, a love of the show and participating in it and the dreaded 'J' word. Personality and performance in equal measure - and personality in the performances from Natalie just doesn't come across to me.

I was talking about Kara - he was definitely harsh with her.

No, I don't. Someone said that the pros compile a list of possible songs, though I'm not sure if that's true.

With a couple of slips this year regarding dances/music being foisted upon people, that seems to not be so any more.

I think you've forgotten Kara. Hard to deny they had a great connection, whatever you see through your telly box (Personally, I thought his relationship with Holly was fine, too, but they were a bit stuffed by mischief-makers in the red-tops)..... As for Natalie, we'll just have to agree to disagree. I don't think two people with no connection have such a prolonged and close embrace at the relief of being saved as those two did, but hey, we see what we want to see. *shrug*

Can you sort out your quote please. One of the [ from the other poster is bold so the quote is messed up.

Thank you kindly.

Unless it was an Oscar-winning acting performance after earlier criticisms of looking too confident in previous results shows ... but that could just be me being cynical

Yep, that must be it (as I said, you see what you want to see)
