She just does not improve each week.

I fear we might reach Pendleton Week 8 levels with her. Hope she is in the dance off.

Also it comes across like she is not even trying. Like she has given up. I know Brendan certainly has.

What do y'all think?

She staggers about at times and until I took a proper look I thought her and Brendan had rubbed muck on their faces last night.

she has significant balance problems, but as ever brendan doesn't really work at it and sort of gives up in disgust, which i have little doubt he communicates to his partners.

She always looks seriously peed off with the judges comments. Whatever positive spin comes out of her mouth with Claudia she always seems furious. I think she thinks she's better than she is and doesn't deserve the poor scores she's getting.

It makes me laugh how she always looks so puzzled by negative critiques. As if she thinks she's done a wonderful dance but nobody else agrees

I think she is wishing she has never said yes to SCD. She thought it would be easier.

I mean, it's only dancing after all. How hard can that be? Besides, she's beautiful.

And then she met Brendan 'Brenda'.

The last person on earth you want to be your partner, if you haven't actually got any natural talent, a short attention span and a loathing of a dull intellect, is Brenda. This is the ultimate Drag Her Around the Floor maestro.

Kirsty is very, very beautiful but has absolutely no natural talent for dance, balance or grace. I call her the Drag Doll. Is she happy? Are you kidding?

Someone needs to save her from herself and from Brenda. Soon.

I think she's probably one of these dreadfully precious princesses who has had everything given to her that she's asked for and traded much on her looks. When it comes down to talent, or lack thereof, she will throw a strop and call foul. From the looks of it Brendan has little time for that type of attitude either.

Pendleton knew she was shit though. Kirsty thinks she's good - you can see her barely disguised rage at the judges' comments every week.

Kirsty is an unfortunate mix of the talent of Pendledrama with the competitiveness of Gaby Logan

Yes, agree with this. I'd liken Kirsty more to other deluded "dancers" from previous series, like Kenny Logan and Craig Kelly. Having said that, neither of them reacted quite as badly to criticism as does Princess Kirsty.

I think a good half or Kirsty's problems lie with her pro partner.. can't abide Brendan and only applies himself to his celeb when it suits him it seems.

Indeed.
It makes her very uncomfortable to watch from the moment she sets foot on the dance floor (or not depending on Brendan's choreography ) until the moment after she receives the last score. Neither her dance nor her reaction to it is an easy thing to witness.

I'm not disagreeing with what anyone has said, but Brendan is the last person she should have been partnered with. He isn't a patient enough partner and frankly speaking I think he's had his time on strictly.

He's been dragging people around for years now, instead of adapting to the standard that his partner is capable of and using that as a starting point.

The difference between Kirsty and Victoria is that Victoria could dance when she relaxed. Check out her salsa, her last dance and compare it to her samba, for example. Look back at her ballroom routines. I'm not saying she was wonderful but she had some movement. What spoilt some of her routines was her self consciousness and perfectionism. Kirsty cannot dance imnsho.

Is it bad that, with her balance issues, I hope that she gets to do a VW before she goes out of the competition

Someone perfectly described her in a thread : she's a mix of Craig kelly ( a bit delusional) and Victoria.

As I said earlier "Shades of Gabby Logan," she too though she was better than her scores, Her husband Kenny, came across as a much more likeable person.

where and when? And where is this trend for Jeremy or Carol? Carol seems to look miserable each week despite her "happy happy" act

Would you really do that to the poor cleaners?

Kirsty is a big hit for herself and a little deluded, she actually thinks she is improving each week ...wrong. I did laugh when Claudia mentioned Brendan's child wanting to see him dressed as a dog ...quick as a flash Kirsty is in there saying "and my boys" .
Time for her to go , the sooner the better.

Shes undoubtedly gorgeous, so before the jellus brigade level that at me....I think she is stunning but my God she's shockingly bad on the dancefloor.

That in itself wouldn't be a bad thing, IF she came accross as a sweeter character. Her initial quizzical look when she receives her marks is quickly replaced with genuine puzzlement as to why the judges are marking her so low.

I also concur with those that have said, that Brendan isn't the best partner for her. In fact, whilst I don't dislike him, he needs to go. His performance last year was just risable and he looked out of condition. He looks slightly better this year but at this stage he's just going through the motions.

I wouldn't be at all sad to see Kitsty go. In fact I hope she does.

She rates herself more than anyone else rates her, that's her problem.

I think that it's hilarious after every dance she thinks that she's done well and can't understand the judges negative comments, surely Brendan should be taking her aside and explaining to her that the judges are right and that she needs to work on her weaknesses, l find with Brendan that he tries to hide his partners faults for example with lifts, pulling them into position, dragging them around the floor, rather than fixing them and trying to get them right.

That lassie irritates me something chronic .
She is undoubtedly very pretty , but boy does she know it . That air of nose in the air all the time looking down on lesser mortals is not attractive .
Plus she only seems to have one expression in every picture 'ready to cry'. Very distracting .
Then there's her mouthy attitude in shared interviews , constantly interrupting brendan or whoever is speaking , "yack yack yack listen to me, not him." With her superior attitude she must be very draining to work with .
Lordy I miss the proper training vids where we got a more true impression of the celeb's attitudes .
Shades of Viki Pendleton's journey .
I never ever thought I'd ever pity Brendan .

Uncomfortable is a good word to use about watching her .
She dances half heartedly while brendan carries her (often literally) , then looks gob smacked at even the mildest criticism .
She's like ---- ----
I keep waiting for her to throw a huge Scarlet O'Hara style tantrum and storm off set with a flouncing of petticoats .
