Kevin I loved in his first year and then went off him a bit. His hyperactive behaviour with Kellie last year drove me up the wall. His choreography can be wonderful at times and other times so frantic that watching it gives me a headache. Having said that I like him with Louise. I think her calm personality might be a good influence on him. And I absolutely loved their jive from start to finish. I think I could enjoy him again this year.
I don't see any "hate" for either of them. Strong dislike, perhaps, but that's not the same thing. The main complaint I see against Anton is that he is past it. That may not be strictly true but there is some merit in it. Kevin is complained about on two fronts, as far as I can see - his hyperness and the whole "Cliftons are taking over" piece. Well again, there is some merit in both views. I think 3 members of one family is a bit much, myself. But that's just my personal view. I don't see them ganging up on anyone or throwing their weight around in any way. They are friendly and professional at all times. I can live with that.”
What a great post. Thank you for bringing some sanity to this thread.
'haters' really is a very teenage word. No one in their right mind 'hates' strangers'. Its just silly.
The fact that people do not agree with each other about slebs or whatever, does not mean they hate the world. They are just exasperated by certain behaviour.
Forums - and social media in general - give people a platform to voice their opinions. If we can't handle others being more vocal then us, we should step away.
We do have a choice.
