I know Claudia's not for everyone, but had to say how much I enjoyed Claudia last night.
She seemed on top form and I just loved her dry, one liners ...... such as Peter - "oh sorry, you don't like hugs......" "No. I don't like humans!" complete with a straight face. Very funny. Regardless of how harsh the comments are, she lifts people back up again and brings a natural, infectious exuberance to the Clauditorium. In fact, it feels like she's always been there.

She always makes me laugh, but I just thought last night she was exceptionally funny. All credit to her too, as it can't be the easiest time of the year for her at the moment.

I don't either. I feel the urge to fast forward every time Claudia is in front of camera

Tessbot can't compute anything that isn't programmed into the autocue.

No, I don't think she does, I think she's a bit thick, bless her. Thank goodness for Claudia.

That quip to Peter last night was brilliant (and how stiff she was when he tried to hug her ha ha)

Claudia is the bright light of SCD for me. I love her

Tess should have retired, not Brucie.

The only time she's made me laugh was off the back of Katie's remark when Katie said she's never getting off the sofa the same was again and Claudia mimicked her. But that was more blatant physical humour not dry , to be honest most of the time I can't stand Claudia.

I love Claudia. She is sadly missed on ITT. She can think on her feet, unlike Tess , who is like a rabbit in the headlights, and is like a robot.

Makes her sound like a loon, not funny.

Not by me she isn't. Zoe replacing Claudia has made ITT watchable.

Yes, and then she apologised for it! I love Claudia. Sometimes the 'staged' jokes are daft rather than funny and I doubt they're necessarily her idea. But Claudia is at her best when she just says something off the cuff.

I don't get that. Can somebody explain the joke?

Claudia is funny but I think a memo will go round before next week requesting that she isn't to be touched.

Sorry but I just can't take to her at all.

I've never once been evenly amused by her props either.

Not a joke as such, more her mannerisms and the way she reacts when things get raucous or unexpectedly "weird." She'll have a laugh to an extent, but likes to keep some control, so when it goes too far, her body stiffens up, as if to say "enough!" So her flustered reaction to Gleb whipping his shirt off was funny, but then later when Peter suddenly grabbed her, with total control lost, it was a quick and clever verbal way to to register her "disgust and displeasure!" All in jest though..... I think!

Good when witty with contestants and spontaneous.
Cringe-making when with Tess + props/costumes etc.

Until I saw these posts I thought me and my wife were the only people in the western world who couldn't stand Claudia Winklepicker!

There was a bit when Helen was trying to explain the nicknames between her and her partner and Helen did not explain it well.


Claudia was funny in that part too....

I love Claudia - she is very clever and funny.
God knows where we would be if we were just stuck with Tess as a host.

Fully agree. Just makes Tess look so bad in comparison - so wooden.

Loved the 'just hate humans' remark

Claudia is brilliant. Just a shame that her humour clearly goes over some peoples' heads.
