The strongest evidence being "I feel..."
OK, it must be true then.

Me too, I think he is really sweet, so different from what I expected after watching the 'Judge Rinder' programme. He's like a little boy, trying very hard and excited. Lovely chap and isn't he doing well?

Could you please point out the place in my post where I said that my opinion was fact?

This however is a public forum & the OP asked a question which I answered with my personal opinion as you do!!

In answer to your previous post 'over sincere' means gushing sincerity to the point it comes across as insincere!! Many of us, myself included, felt it from Peter Andre last year & seemingly some, myself included also, are feelng it from Rob Rinder this year!!

Not fact but just my opinion!!

never heard of him before this and doubt I will watch him outside of the strictly universe

I love him

No, Rindervhas been faking something since week 3.

And despite the judges comments his gurning has been infuriating just as long.

I like him, he is a good dancer and a happy person. Don't think he will make it to the final, that is likely to be Danny, Ore and Louise!

Am I the only who recognises that asking 'Am I the only one..." always receives a resounding 'no' in response?

For me Rinder is a slippery fish. I like, dislike; am attracted and repelled; convinced of his sweetness and his deviousness... BUT HE IS NOT BORING! He is manipulative and clever and he knows how to present himself. Is that being 'fake' or is that being an advocate for a particular point of view?

He's making what he's got go a very long way and in truth it is not just smoke and mirrors.

He was playing a dangerous game with Craig though... Am I the only one who thought there was more edge than pantomime in their exchanges last night? It really depends how that conflict plays out with watchers whether it'll help him or not, if he goes forward in the competition.

Same here.

I hope he wins!!!

I can't help but like anyone who only has 1950s or earlier music on his iPod (although personally I have managed to make it into later decades).

I didn't get the forum's initial enthusiasm for his cha cha, but I'm enjoying his dances now, maybe because the last two have been ballroom and danced quite well.

Ohh, Nat King Cole week would work for almost all the dances and I would be in heaven!

He's about as genuine as that tacky programme of his. I don't mind him but do think last night with his Grandparents was a contrived tug at the heart strings. Having said that, I respect my elders and what they did for us, just it was an opportunity he went going to miss, given that today is Remembrance Sunday.

I don't mind him at all, I forget about him very week though until he comes on.

A lot of my iplayer is in a time warp. Not a lot of Nat King Cole, but Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday and even Doris Day. I do have later stuff though, although the majority of it is pre 2000. (Lots of Leonard Cohen and David Bowie. )

I'd love to see an Ella Fitzgerald week. I think everyone could do with that woman's voice in their ears on bad days. I really, really want someone to do an FT (not my favourite of dances) to Fascinating Rhythm. It would make a good AS too but I'd prefer pure FT.

As to early era music. Love lots of it but the 1960's is my favourite decade.

I agree that Fascinating Rhythm is a great Foxtrot.

No. He's an OK dancer but his annoyance is starting to grate on me.

I'm torn re Judgey.
At first I loved him , but I suspect that it was because he was so unexpectedly keen and eager and puppyish in his enthusiasm .All bouncy and bushy tailed and very un-judge-like . But since then I'm less of a fan . Nothing against him at all , I'm just not bothered either way at this point .I wouldn't mind him winning but doubt he will .

me too, I didn't think I would at first, didn't know who he was but I love to watch him now.

I guess you have to be a bit competitive and pushy to get into law school and become a top barrister?

You've got to be determined, focused, network and be clever.

And versatile. Maybe a bit of an actor too. Advocacy must be like the world's most challenging computer game in terms of shifting your imaginative perspective whilst staying clear of mind too

Absolutely! I was thinking purely of the student and then seeking a pupilage. But once at the bar you have to play whether to a gallery or the judge presiding over the case!
