Why can't I warm to Claudia
Genuine puzzlement from me.
I'm a bit of a titch myself so should be rooting for her but for some reason I keep forgetting she is in the show until she is announced to dance? I also find her a little like the tiny ballerina that used to pop up on a girl's jewellery box, more cute than elegant? I don't mean to be unkind - is there anyone else who feels the same? |

No, I think she is adorable and a brilliant dancer and of course gymnast. I look forward to her and AJ to see what routine they are doing. Both her and Danny are my favourites.

Opposite here, I think Claudia is fab-u-lus. She's a beautiful dancer and has absolutely the right attitude - healthily competitive without being hard as nails about it. |

We all react differently to different people. I cannot take to Louise as a dancer, she is a lovely person but her dancing reminds me of 'paint by number'. yet others raved about her dance this weekend. Just go with the flow ...

It's the opposite for me. She's the only remaining female celebrity that I like. I can't warm up to Louise and Daisy

Lol... because you alread established who are your favourite perhaps... Claudia is a potential winner here... can learn proper technique without dancing background... her showdance will be amazing.

Her back when she goes into hold, is just a thing of beauty , they have something just don't think AJ has got her into a lyrical smooth movement when in hold just my opinion |

I know what you mean. Although I can't warm to AJ at all she seems genuinely nice, but I think perhaps although their dances are technically almost perfect they are forgettable for me. I remember Danny's Cha Cha Cha and Paso, or Rinders QS from this weekend, or even Louise and Kevins Charelston, but I would be hard pressed to remember any of her dances other than that one with the huge glitter ball and I only remember that because of, well, the huge glitter ball <shrugs>
She's polite enough and an an above-average dancer...but is just so forgettable to me..though, like you Osusana, I don't really know why - and I'm a guy of 5'6". Is it some sort of 'short' thing??? ![]() I feel the same about her dancing - apart from her Charleston which was one of THE outstanding dances of the series. Can't say the same for the rest... |

More a case for me I've got annoyed by being annoyed at how we are being constantly reminded about them being so young. It was funny for the first week but now it sounds like a broken record.
Also, tthat hideous shade of pink the producers keep on forcing them to wear. |

My favourites are Greg and Rob, but realistically, I guess that Greg's Strictly time will be up next or the following week, and that's fine for me as he has done so well so far ![]() So out of the three women left, if one has to make the final, I would prefer it to be Claudia now. |

It does nothing for her at all.

I thought you meant the awful Winkleman, if the choice was to vote her off it would be great.

I like Claudia and AJ, but so far none of their dances have been that memorable.

probably because she's being treated like a child/ imbecile/ imaginary munchkin therefore none of us are being given any sort of rounded picture of her

Claudia doesn't interview well and neither does AJ. Does it matter? Plenty of people have won without being a laugh a minute.

I really like Claudia, but I do find AJ a bit annoying.

She's my least favourite celeb on the show. She seems nice enough but I can't warm to her or AJ. I've never warmed to many celebs from an athletics background, maybe it's because I have no interest in it all. I only mind Greg because he's paired with Natalie who I adore!

Claudia is composed and focused for a 19 year old I am impressed with her maturity.
Most of the athletes they have had on have been similar, certainly Louis Smith. I say this with the notable exception of Victoria Pendleton.
