Karen is said to be leaving soon

the way she was talking it sounds like this year will be her last& I wouldn't miss her

Why?

I neither like or dislike her

As I mentioned on another thread, Karen said this will probably be her last series as she and Kevin want to start a family.

Me neither.

could that be the reason she has got such a ringer this year as in Will as it would be her last chance to win the show?

Yes, a very Camilla goodbye (hopefully without votegate).

yeah and a Aliona goodbye since she left also on the back of a win?

I'm so disappointed because I thought of the wrong Karen.

I want Karen Hardy to leave ITT.

My thoughts exactly!

I find Karen Clifton a bit OTT at times, but she's been good with the less able dancers she's had and I like Will Young so I'll be interested to see them this year. I did think she wouldn't leave until she actually got pregnant though.

I blame the BBC for her over-the-top performances, she'll be encouraged to be as daft as Zoe Ball. Far too hyper for me. Can't watch it now.

Much preferred it when Claudia did it, she was far more witty and acerbic, ("but in a good way,") in the first few series, before the BBC must have told her to tone it down.

What's she waiting for? Can't she leave now?

I'll miss her. She's never been a complainer. I loved the nutty relationship she had with the Hairy biker bloke. She's a bit like Natalie in the open-hearted approach she has with non-dancers and beginners.

I'm not supporting Will exactly. Nothing against him either! It's just that there are so many good ones this year. But I would not mind at all if Karen and Will got to the finals

I'll miss her if she leaves! She's so good with the duffers, and I love her uplifting, cheery personality.

Glad I'm not the only one irritated by Karen Hardy.
She's OTT in ITT.




What refreshing positivity about the other Karen.

Unlike Zoe Ball, Karen H does know what she is talking about when it comes to dancing. Blaming the BBC for her being hyper? If you actually met her, and got to know her, you'd realise that is pretty much how she is - it's not an act. She is a live wire, to be honest, but basically a very kind live wire, and a very good teacher.

I agree with this. Her ballroom does leave something to be desired, but she seems a lovely person.

I'm afraid KH may be a permanent fixture in some form or other. In fact she's replacing Bruno on the live tour as a judge this year.

I'm blaming the BBC for encouraging her. No one can be like she is, all the time.
It's still partly an "act" even if you have met her. I bet she's not like it all the time at home, few men could put up with that.

In other words, testing her out to be Len's replacement?

Damn!
I thought it meant Karen "screechy like an eight year old " Hardy.

Dunno, that'd mean two women amongst the judges. That'd be unlikely unless "Cinderella" leaves. Then they'd need another "pantomime character." In my opinion the quality of the judgements seem of lesser importance to the "show!"

Why?
