I like her.

Louise is lovely, in my opinion. She has a warm and friendly personality, a ravishing smile, and her dancing has improved week on week. Kevin is clearly a superb teacher, and every year he gets his partner to the final. I don't know why he has never won, and would love to think this was his year.

Kevin is a great choreographer, and is always given a partner with some ability. But he has never had that winning partnership - I don't get the feeling he gels very well. He loves to big up his partners in an attempt to build their confidence, but telling them 'you're amazing' a thousand times over tends to lose its genuineness after a while.

Very unfair on the other contestants. Louise had been in a band and also judged dance shows, then to say others were very confident, how would she know??.
I know Daisy said that she was always very nervous before all the performances.

BIB - I do agree that Daisy and Laura had potential and were not given time to get there.

She's in her forties, she hasn't the body she had after having children etc. I think it's pretty normal for a woman to feel that way and lack self esteem. Seriously is there anything that cannot be turned into a snipe at her?

And I'm guessing she knew through meeting them that first time. or are you implying she is lying?

Don't tell me what I am thinking??. I was thinking that she shouldn't judge people on their appearance. This is a dance competition and not Miss GB.

Domestos, Please remember that we are forum members and should be allowed to express our views, don't try to run down fellow forum members, because they said something negative about your favourite pro.

I will give you an opinion and it stands. You imply she is lying. Everyone makes judgments on people all the time. I mean you've already judged she wasn't being truthful and you were not there, at least she was present.

Again you have it wrong. Louise isn't actually my favourite celeb (I think you meant celeb?) but I like her and find the amount of flak she gets on here disproportionate to her supposed weaknesses.

I thought the implication that somehow she was doing OTHERS a disservice by having self esteem issues was preposterous. We all express views and everyone is entitled to challenge a view, it's a forum for discussion.

Well lets see if she gets the Samba or Salsa this week , both dances she has so far managed to avoid .

See you're jumping to conclusions now. All I said was " How would she know??"
Because nobody knows.

Yes it was meant to be celeb.

This is a forum, but don't tell me what I meant. I will tell what I meant, not scared.
Again you are going for the self esteem issue. Nothing to do with that, all I meant was don't judge a book by it's cover.

Fair enough but she was actually there and that was her perception. It was how it made her feel.

She has to do one. I think she will do the Salsa, but popular opinion is that she will do Samba. Either way her DO dance will be the Tango, ballroom again, she will be fine.

I've heard she ignored a "Don't Walk on the Grass" sign a few years ago as well. What kind of people are they allowing on prime time TV these days. Disgusting.

Oh I wonder, did Natalie do that too, obviously both from the same arrogant cloth.
