OP you'll find plenty of criticism of Zoe on the ITT thread and I'll own up to moaning on there about Zoe tonight.

I like Zoe, but hate her loud and shouty presenting style - plus she regularly talks over the guests. I much prefer Claudia doing ITT, but I continue to watch because I want to know what's going on about the show. The producers are as much to blame for how the show has changed. It was but no means perfect under Claudia, but it was better than it is now.

Well l didn't realise there was an 'annual Zoe hate thread' as I've only really used this before for the spoiler thread. I don't want a horrible thread, just couldn't believe nobody had mentioned her (in the ITT thread I can never find where I was last so I never bother reading it). At least I'm not the only one who can't take to her.

I usually like Zoe, but don't like her shouty, OTT style on ITT. I watched avidly when Claudia presented it, but, last year and this, have given it a miss with Zoe. Karen and Ian are stale too imo, so, I won't be watching

Not liking the way someone presents a particular show does not add up to "hate".

Zoe is brilliant. By far the best of the three Strictly presenters and also the 'most robbed' Strictly contestant of all time!

Agreed.

But on being "robbed" I'd put her third behind Ricky Whittle and Colin Jackson (on her series).

I'm amused with remarks like "the annual Zoe Ball hate thread."
Yet I've not read the word in a post that's critical of her.

But that's DS for you.

For me, she's unwatchable, as she's as "hyper" as Kriss Akabusi.
Gave up on ITT when Claudia left.

This is who I was quoting. I don't hate her. I'm not an animal. As far as I'm aware these are threads for opinions and I wondered if anyone found her annoying, as I do.

She was a fairly talented dancer on this very show.

I also think she's dialled it down a bit so far this series- less of the "What drugs is she on?" breathless rushing. I like her a tiny bit more with each passing year.

I like Zoe Ball she is an acquired taste though. I find her excitement infectious and love her and Mr Waite's segments. She is prone to foaming at the mouth when an attractive man appears
