For me Kevin and Karen are as valuable as big characters as they are as dancers. The Cliftons generally bring a great deal to the show.
Never been able to understand the Jordans' dislike of them, or the forum's targetting of them.”
I agree with you too. The first year Jo was on the show she had a duffer, last year no partner at all, that is hardly being 'favoured' ! I am glad she has Ore this year and I hope she does really well with him. Karen too , as you say has been amazing with the less talented celebs. She too deserves her chance and although I would have preferred Jo for Will I think Karen may well be better for him as she will keep it fun and relaxed. Kevin is a perfectly decent man too, he is very enthusiastic and can be a bit hyper but that's just his style.
There are quite a few married couples now, it's nice that it is becoming more of a family affair. Perhaps it will stop some of the media nonsense - well maybe!
