In the context of dancing ability can someone explain how/why 'personality' is THAT important

And I know SCD is as much, if not moreso, a popularity contest that a dancing contest

Even the best dancers don't win if the fabled GBP don't like you

The top 4 (Jake, Frankie, Caroline and Pixie ) actually..... ALL of them are devoid in personality IMO

Shame that one of them will probably win ..............

Jake and Frankie are not loud and demonstrative,Caroline and Pixie spark more obviously

and as they are the best it's great that one of them may win..........IMO

To the people saying certain contestants are devoid of personality, I ask you this: What, in your opinion, constitutes having personality??

^ Try not just talking in clichés and platitudes, like "I've taken on board the judges advice, it's been a great journey and I'm going to do my best", as if a schoolteacher taught it by rote to the goody two shoes. You can say the same sort of thing in a round-about more witty way, but when it sounds that trite and scripted my eyes just glaze over... Zzzzz
Lots of contestants have hardly had the chance to show personality, because Strictly now uses the contestants as props in their grand scheme of things. The VTs are scripted, the routines are themed and choreographed from outside.
Tim, Alison and maybe Steve have revealed themselves... but who else?

A lot of people in the public eye possibly rely on platitudes to avoid being pilloried for saying something original and stupid or for being inadvertently controversial.Then there's the natural urge to fit in thus picking up and using the common idioms.
It's not enough to have a personality,it's having the courage or confidence to wield it.

Too right. Absolutely intelligent point.

I'm chucking Judy too into Craven H's list of the Revealed. And Gregg. To fight your own unexpected terrors in public as he had to is the stuff of nightmares, and his terror took him right off script. He was awfully unbland for two weeks. I have to respect him for not getting a doctor's note. Tim, Alison, and Steve I agree with completely. And Sunetra. She just says what's on her mind and has a funny gawky kind of presence
