I thought Tristan was lovely on ITT and it was great to hear Jamelia say what a cheerleader he is.

I watched him on dancing with the stars and SCD and it's clear to see that he can not dance and is worse than Anton. He had around 5 series in America and 2 series here and has never made a final or won or done anything worthy. His partners i feel sorry for since they have someone who dances worse than Anton since Tristan cant choreograph a good ballroom or latin. someone else probibly choregoraphed Jamellias Charleston for her. Hope this is his last year on SCD and gets axed before Anton. Cant see Anton going though since he has a fanbase and has been on every series. if he was going to be axed it would have happened before now

I vaguely remember all this about Tristan also not wearing a poppy last year, I think he wore one for the main show last year but not ITT. Personally I think it should be up to him if he wears one or not.

People in Ireland don't wear poppies, I have a feeling it was a deliberate choice not to wear one. It probably wasn't a snub to the country but rather a snub to it's history.
In fact they sell and wear poppies. Thousands of young Irish men fought and died in WW1/2 and many feel it appropriate to commemorate this by the wearing of the little red flower. It is a personal choice and I see no disrespect in any individial choosing not to wear one. Why does everthing have to have a negative slant on it.

I find it fake how everyone is made to wear one.

It's the Irish in him coming through and those dimples are so sweet. He is one of the nicest pros on the dance floor.

People in Ireland most certainly DO.

Then again the BBC portrayal of it makes it look like every British person wears one all day every day. So I've no clue how many Brits legitimately wear them. If the Russian state broadcaster was demanding people wear something to celebrate the "Great Patriotic War" I'm sure the BBC would have their knickers in a twist over it but they force-feed the poppy on British society. |

If you see even 3 in one day in Dublin that would be astounding, as a general rule people don't wear them so while a couple of people do its certainly not the done thing in general.

I have personally seen sellers (in Rathgar&Rathmines) selling poppies and people sporting them..and that has been for a good many years. ![]() I absolutely loathe those that berate people for not wearing them...its ridiculous. &to bring it into a SCD forum seems really sad

I concur that it not as prevelant in the UK, however, in response to the contributor who berated Tristan for not wearing a poppy as some form of disrespect to the UK, I gave my honest reply.

I love Tristan's laid back personality. Not a diva at all. He's not British. So why should he wear a poppy? Doesn't make sense.

No shock then that they're a South Side commodity
![]() I do agree though that people shouldn't be berated for not wearing them. Surely it's better that people wear them because they want to and not because they're forced to so that people don't think they're being disrespectful by not wearing them. |

Like Tristan's dry sense of humour and easy going manner. At the beginning of the interview with Tristan and Jamelia plus Kellie and Kevin on ITT yesterday, a couple of times he glanced at the camera to laugh.
![]() (Don't think anyone should be slated for not wearing a poppy - least of all someone from a different country! Think the BBC encourages poppy wearing as the Daily Wail and the Sun would slate them if they didn't.) |
