There is nothing wrong with wanting to honour your grandparents... but did we really have to know about it?! Did it have to be hammered home!? I'm always skeptical about this sort of thing. It's not as bad as dead nans but it's close.

I agree with you. I really love watching him and find him very sincere. I would love him to win.

Having watched tonight's show, he seemed a lot calmer and came over as more likeable.

And in trade unions, or working on cosmetic counters, driving cabs, buses or on bicycles, or on "I'm A Celeb" - aggressive and overly competitive isn't confined to grammar schools.

I found it endearing before, but it is starting to grate now. Hamming it up to the high heavens!

Yes, he is hammy, without doubt, but I do feel he does get real joy from dancing and it shows which I find infectious. Even though he does sometimes appear acerbic and confident there is a vulnerability about him. I'm a sucker for that so I just can't dislike him.

I perfectly understand why some find him annoying.

I, however, think he is AWESOME.

Oh, I don't dislike him at all. He's obviously very committed, joyful and is genuinely improving.

He seems to be a favourite with the producers giving him two ballroom dances in succession which he was looking forward to doing, with favourable music .

Judge Rinder! He is so cool during his own TV show but has really dropped his guard here. So much whimpering, crying, looking agonised, etc. etc.

I like him alot, but it really is starting to grate.

Have never been keen on Judge Rinder, but what really sealed it for me was last week, when it was announced that Ore was in the dance-off. Rinder was delighted and had a nasty smirk on his face. I don't think he realised the cameras were on him. If anyone has the show from last week saved in their recordings, just check it out for yourself.

I think he's ultra competitive and thinks he's way better than he really is. I don't buy his faux self-deprecation at all real. He's in it to win it. He also annoyed me in the results show last night with his irritation at how long it was taking Tess to announce who was through to next week.

I think he's got a very nasty streak in him. I think Craig and Bruno have picked up on it too, hence their sarcasm towards him.

No, that's just a catty streak amongst certain men.

Perhaps you're just projecting your own prejudices onto him?

I'm not keen on him either and I get annoyed that he doesn't/didn't stop the producers calling him "judge". He isn't a judge!

Surely that was worry and wanting it over with? Bruno seems fine with him also.

I can understand this and Darcy made a point of calling him Robert. However, it is his 'stage' name so I get it.

Oh, I've seen that many times. I have a lot of gay friends.

No, it's more than that. I think Craig and Bruno have rumbled his game and are putting him in his place, imho.

I've watched back the edited version of the results that's available on YT. That incident occurs at about 8:14 into the edited version. What we see is just as they call Ore and Joanne, Robert is saying something to Oksana. After the red light falls on Ore and Joanne the camera pans back and he his fingers to his mouth, with some sort of smile I agree and is turning away. It didn't look like "yes, result!". Difficult to interpret what was going on for him at that point. I think you attributing to him what you do is because you dislike Judge Rinder. Everyone has nastiness in them and shadows sides.

He does lay it on a bit thick at times, and repeats himself. But overall I think the show needs people like him, with a background in something other than presenting, soaps or boy/girlbands
What name??

He is a presenter. His day job is appearing on tv and presenting his show.

And the remaining contestants are him, 2 sportspeople, an ex-politician, an actor and a presenter and an ex-girlbander so the luvies are hardly swamped.

What a Post-Brexit, Trumpian, post fact world this is. He is no more presenting the non-showbizness entrants than Trump is a man of the people and self made millionaire as he claims. Sometimes facts are just facts.

I love him. I never really watched his tv show but a lot of what he says resonates with me as someone who is also learning to dance and becoming more and more passionate about it as the years go on.
