I've always been fine with Danny - he's not the most engaging interviewee, but then neither is Louise or Daisy or Ed or...well quite a few of them this series (to me). I'm glad he's moved beyond the "me nerves" stage of his Strictly cycle, because it was getting repetitive, but bland luvvie "well it beats working down a coal mine doesn't it darling" platitudes aren't exactly setting my world alight either.

I too am a Nat fan but found this needyness and pleading very out of character . I guess we all have periods of it and maybe she is having a bad week .
It was in stark contrast to Danny and Otis " so be it " attitude . Danny was so right with his " a bad dance is not the end of the world , there are much worse things happening " I have voted for Greg everyweek but if she keeps up the " woe is me " I might not |

Ote hasn't spent a long time being paired with utter no-hopers nor has she been given utterly unsuitable music. I like Ote a lot actually but just saying. Also her choreography hasn't been ripped to shreds by someone who is normally overlooks that type of thing. Ote has a ringer she knows it, she can afford to be laid back.
Didn't Natalie dance with Ricky Whittle if my memory serves me right ? Personally I start every year afresh and normally love Natalie and her attitude . This week I found her a little needy and bleating about the whole saga . My first thought was " buck up Nat and put it behind you " My guess is that others may well think the same |

To be honest with you most people won't know or care about previous years . I watch every year and still struggle to remember who danced with who ?

My first thought was " buck up Nat and put it behind you " My guess is that others may well think the same I can sort of understand it though - it's been years since she got anywhere near the final, so being partnered with someone fit, young and popular was bound to raise her hopes. And now she's realising it's probably not going to happen once again (especially with it only being a 3-couple final this time) so a hint of desperation's crept into some of her routines and responses. It's not like with Oti who can shrug off criticism of her choreographical choices because Danny's pretty much assured a place in the final regardless. |

Yeah she'll forever be Strictly goddess in my eyes but "advanced rumba"? No one's falling for that one, Nat!

I've tried the Advanced Rumba excuse when a culinary creation doesn't turn out right.

It was Darcey and Craig who specifically called out lack of content - Len just settled for "you sacrificed technique for performance" (although he did comment on the quality or otherwise of Greg's basic rumba steps so he did see some in there).

You see I don't think you're honest about being a supporter holding two contary opinions at once isn't a supporter it's being a double agent or at least a spy.
My immediate concern is to carry Laura through to Blackpool, I doubt it. I will happy if Laura, Greg or Claudia win. Should Kevin win, I will be fuming for a very long time. I am neutral towards the rest of them. |
