Just cant like her no matter how she dances. Only there because of her husband

Abbey has charm. She is very engaging and immensely likeable. Natalie Is possibly the better dancer overall, but she lacks warmth. That is why I think Abbey is more likely to win the audience vote.

There is that. And she's about as warm as an iceberg.

I thought her dance was good tonight, but it didn't work with the music. Like with Cabaret she projected a 'smiley' attitude and clearly didn't understand the song.

Yes she was indeedy
got my online votes

I agree. She has a natural gift for dancing.

She was simply stunning tonight, and great choreography from Aljaž

I don't see that at all. She comes across as very warm to me.

My thoughts exactly and I'm a member of her fan club, but she was by far the best tonight

That should read - I'm NOT a member of her fan club - sorry!

I was ajazzled.

It's him that's pulling in thee votes. over marked yet again.

If you check her background you'll find she became a model (and a minor celeb in her own right) BEFORE she ever met Mr Crouch. Her season of Britains Next Top Model launched her career, as the programme aims to do.

Until we saw him during previous episodes of SCD I wouldn't have recognised him if he passed me in the street, but I would have known Abby. Each to their own + all that

She is elegant and long limbed, but was by no means the best.

So not winning Britain's Next Top Model makes her a celeb? She's done nothing since except marry Crouchy. Would any other runner up on that show be asked on to Strictly?

I will simply say no.

A " nice " thread and quite nice complimentary comments about Abbey on DS

Shocking !!!

Am I in the wrong forum

No not the best, the choreo was quite average and they were a little jerky....Aljaz does nothing for me at all choreography wise and Abbey is strictly average.

I will simply say no as well.

yes but finished third in the points so she is in danger

A fabulous dance; choreographically one of the best Strictly Viennese Waltz's, and definitely the best VW of the series. Minimum of 'tricks' just honest to goodness dance. And beautifully danced by Abbey; it's really not easy to keep that poise so well that dance.

And, although I didn't like choice of music, at last they actually danced to the correct tempo, instead of using a much easier, slower tempo adopted by so many couples.

How can you say that when Sophie's last week was in a different class.

Abbey's topline was better than Sophie's.

Yes, but the standard was not very high tonight. Even Abbey had one or two foot mistakes and her topline wasn't all that either. On a good Strictly night her dance would have been 3rd or 4th best on the night.

I said this from day one and was ripped to shreds for doing so.......! Her stance was superb in the Waltz she performed in week one, and has improved week on week for me and she is exciting to watch, there's absolutely no contrived approach to her dancing, unlike many of the other contestants....!
