I presume your post translates as:

'Posters must not criticise a female contestant who can't dance. In a dancing competition...'

Duh!
You forgot the word pretty . Lest they be accused of being a jellus hatah.

"Have a high sense of self-entitlement " thanks for proving my point........
Proves nothing, other than you have a ridiculous agenda to attack any female contributor that doesn't agree with you.

Moreover, please stop with the personal attacks. Unacceptable and unwarranted.

Or she just wanted to say hi to her kids like other celebrities have done because she knew they were watching and what does her saying hi to her kids have to do with anything?
I think I'd have done the same, why should Brendan's daughter get a shout out and not Kirsty's kids?

Again proving my point and look your female and also very bad with jokes and the criticisms are more of personality that some are making rather then dancing

People can criticise who they like but there is no need to be nasty just fore the sake of which some people seem to find great pleasure in doing and get off on it and it makes me boke.

Well, quite. Why don't we just spend half the show looking at everybody's kids? Then we can do the grandmothers....

The criticisms for female contestants are about personality and being cocky or up themselves rather then about dancing talent, but a majority of the people on here who do it are the ones who cant take it back or refuse to acknowledge it when it pointed out to them

What makes me boke is men assuming all women posters who post negatively about a bad (but pretty) dancer are jellus munters .
Sometimes being a stunner is not enough . For sure it opens doors, lets not pretend otherwise, but it sometimes gives those pretty girls a false sense of their abilities .
Kirsty can't dance well and cannot hide her astonishment/anger at negative critiques . Nothing to do with her wonderful figure and pretty face .

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.
God ... Victoria's salsa was terrible! Kirsty's was pretty bad but I didn't cringe half as much as I did watching Victoria's which was toe curling. Also that terrible paso with the leaping!!!

She irritates you something chronic which imo is a horrendous thing to say about someone you have seen a couple of times on a TV show therefor that speaks volumes to me. Who mentioned anything to do with her looks she is a very successful TV Presenter and is currently on Sky Sports organising the Prize Giving at a Major Golf Tournament Live.

Look Mac, those of us not interested in sports channels, or Prize Giving Golf events can only judge on how she is on Strictly and she isn't endearing herself to many of us . It's just that simple pal .
I'm glad she has a career chit chatting on a sports channel because she sure as heck isn't going to win any dance shows .

Brilliantly put. I loathed Pendleton with a passion and said so, even when others are the previous message board were praising here because of her Olympic success. What the lovely wonderful Brendan has done to be lumbered once again is beyond me. I hope she goes really soon although it is sort of amusing to watch somebody so delusional about their own ability.
I think she has got some of the same balance issues, hopefully coincidence.

I don't think she is as easily upset as Victoria seemed to be.

Oh I am well aware of you opinion of her you have made that very clear with your description of her. I just hope she does not look in here.

As a (former) fan of Brendan, I blame him - he needs to go. He really couldn't look less interested if he tried. If he's not given a decent celeb, he writes them off and seems like he's just there for the money.

Kirsty's unlikely to win regardless of her partner, but she could've been an underdog, she could've made it past the halfway mark... instead I suspect she'll be gone within the next three eliminations and it's all down to Brendan.

I agree he seems less interested this year . But it might be because he is having difficulties with Kirsty and has thrown in the towel trying to transform her into a dancer .Watching them on ITT she constantly interrupts him when he is answering something asked of him by Zoe . Most annoying . Yes, chattering on might be her trade but for goodness sake let the pro have his say when he is addressed .
Her balance is very bad so I doubt she'd get too far with any partner to be honest as it's hard to work around balance issues . Pretty girl , dud dancer .

I think Kirsty is great. Don't understand the judges. She does better than some. I think they have it in for Brendan as he gets stroppy.

Indeed. She was bad but wasn't the worst this week after all .
So she has another chance to shape up .

Is it bad that, with her balance issues, I hope that she gets to do a VW before she goes out of the competition
she does inappropriate emissions? Be careful what you do with her firmware.

I agree. Kirsty's a poor dancer but picking on her for something like that seems very petty. In any case I found it odd that the spotlight was put on Brendan's kid rather than the celebrity dancer... but of course it's all about Brendan isn't it!

But you've said it yourself - he's thrown in the towel. Why? Okay, so she may never be a dancer and he has no hope of winning the show, that doesn't mean you give up/pull your face. He's been with the show since day one, he knows what it's about, he knows there's duds every year; it's how you treat your partner and how you dance with them.

Spitting your dummy out and giving up doesn't get you far, but then again, neither does having fun if you don't have the technique or talent... but it's a TV show, he could at least look as if he's enjoying himself for a few minutes, if he can't even be arsed to do that, the producers ought to give him the boot.

If it was just a one off, I'd be more inclined to blame Kirsty/the partnership just not working, but he's been like this with several of his partners over recent years... he just doesn't seem to throw himself into the experience with the duds like the other pros do.

Part of that is a problem for her votes wise. Not everyone has Sky.
