I don't want to think that you are being disingenuous.”

I have seen nothing negative about Natalie's appearance or personal life on DS. Doesn't mean it hasn't happened but I missed if it did.

Her demeanour, yes of course I have, that is sort of natural to see comments on all the celebrities like that.

So no disingenuity.

There's been a high density of (now) repetitive posting about Natalie, both pro and con. Hardly anything detrimental has been written about her appearance -- nothing that I can recall. Nothing about her race, acting career, relationship status or sexuality.

Most discussion, as far as I can tell, has centred on the following: the producers' decision to include her in a show about learning to dance; her perceived character; the nature of her relationship with Artëm; her (and his) injury / health issues; her dancing and Arty's choreography. All of that has been very well aired.

There has also been a prolonged parallel discussion of the dogged nature of her fans vs their perception of a DS climate opposed to her.

I've no intention as I said earlier, of repeating very negative stuff on a personal level which was removed. Or naming the posters, some of whom have toned down their comments and moved on to praise their own favourites, thankfully, or who no longer post.Those who post pro Natalie were usually, but not exclusively, spending their time defending her against the negativity.

Me neither. Other contestants in comparison get a lot of unwarranted personal attacks . What people say about her, is the same old : can't connect to her, dance experience, Artem .......but she doesn't get a lot of vitriolic personal comments like other contestants do (not that she should, no one should get that imo) but I fail to see what sort of personal attacks some of her fans are complaining about.

I'm with you here lateone, every little thing Natalie says or does has been picked to pieces on here and she has been vilified over and over and over and over again:yawn: For 9 weeks, a whole 9 weeks of it

Its behaviour like that which cheapens the show and not pleasant to read.
