I agree. The other 3 finalists overdid the "this has changed my life" shtick. Yawn.

I feel Kevin let Frankie down in the showdance there was quite a bit of 'faffing' about at the beginning then the bit on the tables seemed to go on forever with no actual dancing. This seemed like a ploy used by some pros to cover up lack of technique in their celeb partner but Frankie was well capable of delivering a stunning dance so not sure why Kevin decided to go down this route.

Maybe if Kevin realises it's not all about him and stops the manic overdancing he may get somewhere. Don't feel sorry for him atall, he is an over emotional boy who has got to two finals with competent dancers.

I can't see why anyone would feel sorry for him. He never had to dance in a dance off this year and he's made it to the final. If anything I feel a bit sorry that Frankie did'nt have a better teacher, I think she could have been pushed a lot more than she appeared to have been.
Their show dance was anything but as far as I was concerned, no excitement, no great choreography and no pizzaze. (sp) He needs to learn that it's not all about him.

Frankie comes across as a bit lazy so maybe they decided to do an easy quickstep as show dance and then focus on other two dances that she already knew. I think the fact that we all know she is dancing regularly on stage went against her

Not really - KFG is an annoying little tit though his partner was lovely

No not at all. Look at Pasha and Kristina (aka gusset girl) when there is applause or praise given, they always take a step back and let their celeb get the credit. Not Mr Fromgrimsby. Occasionally he does, but only when he remembers. I don't like that attitude. even Brendan, who used to be a bit big headed, gives his celeb all the credit.

Kevin is just an annoying little tit. I am glad his massive ego has not been nurtured any further..

When push came to shove Frankie wasn't good enough to win and her position on the leaderboard was fair. Having said that I think Craig was mean to only give them a 9 for their paso.

God no.

I wonder if he gets another contender next year.

Not only does he seem to get good dancers he seems to get massively popular ones too.

I believe it's his celebs popularity with the GBP that keeps him dance off free not his teaching.

He is 100% due a duffer next year. As is Pasha actually, as Rachel was expected to be good iirc.

I agree with everyone else that it would be nice for Kristina to get a win due to how hard she works. However I feel she gets given someone who looks good on paper most years as well, just sometimes they turn out not to be or the public don't warm to them. She hasn't been given an obvious duffer since John Sargeant.

I hope Kevin gets one of the no hopers next year. I find him smug and annoying.

Gee, why so nasty?

Kevin and Frankie were great!

Kevin has had two finals in two years and deserved to be in both, he's taught both Susanna and Frankie to dance and perform.

Thought the result was right this year but I wouldn't have minded any of the final three winning as they were all fab-u-lous darling

Actually to be fair he's had the same start as Pasha so it's a bit unfair to stamp our feet about his dancers when Pashas had 3 finals, 1 winner 2seconds and a mid run.

Agree along with his sister Joanne.

He and Frankie did extremely well. They have all the reason to be proud not pitied.

Don't feel sorry for him at all. This is supposed to be a celebrity dance competition, not a pro-dancer competition. His OTT behaviour when getting through to the next round or getting a 10 gave the impression that he was much more concerned with his own status than Frankie's - and that did not endear him to me (and others judging by this forum).
I've also been a bit irritated by what I perceive as the production team's constant pushing of Kevin as THE pro-dancer. It started off last year with the continual references to him being from Grimsby - so what? None of the other dancers are referred to in those terms, so why him? This year it's been even more noticeable, with him being being asked questions in post dance interviews ahead of his celebrity partner, being given front of house positions in group dances or theme nights (Blackpool was the most obvious) and then cumlating in the camera showing his reaction when Mark and Karen got to the finals instead of actually concentrating on Mark or Jake's reaction.
I don't like it when a TV show tries to tell its audience who they should like 'the best' by way of over-exposure - it usually has the opposite effect on me, in fact, as I start to wonder whose interests are being served by this.
It's a shame really, because all it seems to have achieved is make him a fairly divisive character - something that really goes against the ethos of the show.

Hopefully the pipsqueak will be gone by next year.

I don't feel sorry for him . I think he is a good dancer but let himself down when waiting with the other contestants to hear viewers votes , he threw his self on the floor screaming on numerous occasions when he heard they were through to the next week Very Unprofessional he has a lot to learn from the other male proffesionals.

They were extra determined to appear platonic, to the extent that portraying even their emotional connection was impaired. Other couples happily attached elsewhere did not do this. A constructive hint for Kevin I feel. That and up the game in the show dance in terms of viewer appeal. Pasha broke his duck by doing this IMO. I voted for Simon BTW.

Being paid good money to do something he has a natural talent for and coming home to Karen each night - where did it all go wrong? Don't feel that sorry for him, must be honest.

I think both Kevin and his sister are genuine and worth watching when the dancing starts but mildly annoying when the dancing stops.
