I've seen Addicted to You as a Tango before and it's worked fine, the trouble was Alison couldn't dance to it, she's two flat-footed and slow on her feet in Ballroom. Even the insufferable James Jordan said it was good Tango music, but she needs to pick up her feet A LOT. She's one of the worst in my view.

I'm sorry but I feel for Alison tonight, producers that music was c**p, the poor girl,
However, other celebrities faced with the tango and danced to the same music would have performed better than Alison. She just isn't as good as a lot of the others. |

I didn't know what dance she was supposed to be doing tonight, as I missed the announcement.
She really is terrible. Stop the favouritism, its getting boring. |

I think the people making fattist remarks should look at their own lives before slagging others off. Alison is good and no, I'm not overweight I'm just sick of all the jibes about her.

OP - I think any thread about Alison will inevitably end up talking about her weight. I watched tonight and could only admire her rhythm and ability - but also thought - if only she was 5 stone lighter - what a contestant she would be.
In the meantime - I am a little tired with every Strictly including the token obese dancer. What are they trying to prove? However PC they are being - the facts are there. Anyone carrying that amount of weight is risking damage to their heart and their joints. This is not "weightist" - it is a simple fact. And I am speaking from having lost several stone over the last few years and improved my general health immeasurably - including risks of heart problems and diabetes. |

I can honestly say I have never seen a tango like it
Don't think it was the music that was the problem. |

Susan I agree, having lived with someone who as lost 15 stone, BUT they could have helped her by giving then a better music choice, her pro could have given her a better chance of going through
Alison's problem is her feet. I know how she insists she is flat-footed, but the insides of dance shoes can be built up very easily (takes minutes) to help with that problem. I have students who are flat footed, but with the correct dance shoes they soon realise it is not a problem. Then she may actually be able to dance, because although she is moving her top half a lot, all she is doing at the moment, is walking through her routines |

It would be a fitting dance to go out on. The fat personality stereotype bubbles have gone flat, she has proved a chubber can go a few rounds and now needs to duck out the ring before they carry her out on a stretcher

Alison had said she was wearing low heels but I thought she was actually in flat shoes last night which is never a good look for the lady!
Flat feet, my eye! She can't wear heels because she is simply morbidly obese and too heavy to wear heels. Why doesn't everyone stop pussyfooting around her weight? She is HUGE and when she met Lisa Riley on ITT she made Lisa look almost slim!! |

It wasn't great and possibly had a mark or two too many, but she was in the right position on the leaderboard ie just in front of Scott and Judy

Thank you
what is the problem with the producers, they give the couple they want out the worst music in the world,By worst music, I mean that it did not appear to have any Paso rhythm to it at all (phrasing of eight beats) and so I don't know how Caroline managed to dance some decent Paso steps. |

I want going to say this. Alison Hammond is even bigger than Lisa. I like Alison whereas Lisa annoyed me. But she will always look flat footed and there are limited costumes Alison can wear. She needs to lose weight for the sake of her health.

If you just focus on the dress it looks kinda like Aljaz is dancing with a Pac-Man ghost.

I thought at the outset that she would be much better than she has turned out to be. There are quite a few obese Salsa dancers who are pretty good. Though any dance in close embrace looks odd if the bloke can't get his arms round the follower. |

Allison strikes me as someone who would be the first person to get up and dance at a wedding. I like that attitude.
However, with the lack of improvement from the hip down, her dances are coming over as a bit dull and very samey. To keep it fair though, if someone like Jake hasn't got his snake hips and knee lifts going on, he looks decidedly average. |

Here is a fat guy dancing. Pretty good. So much better than the skinny Dad Dancers at the back.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPhXZQFBeEE Alison and Lisa have no excuse for relying on the FUN FUN FUN. |

I actually think that Alison does pretty well for someone of her size (and there is no denying that she is a big girl, that's a fact) - she seems to have plenty of energy, so she must be reasonably fit.
I don't think it's at all "fattist" to point out that if you are a large person in terms of carrying round excess non-muscle weight, there will be some things that you just can't do, and being light as a fairy is probably one of them. However, Alison's obviously having great fun, she's entertaining to watch, and she will inevitably be voted off in the next couple of weeks, so I don't really see what the problem is. You might just as well say they shouldn't have old people on there if it's a question of what someone is physically able to do. |
