Not heard of Kevin's temper before. It's odd to hear about it here since people I've met who remember him competing have only ever had nice things to say about him. So please forgive me if I reserve my judgment on him.

Kevin really didn't seem incensed about not winning the pro challenge at all.

Probably the same people who decided that Neil and Katya clearly can't dance the jive and actually gave a monkeys about the pro challenge result.

On the other hand you might quite enjoy it .”

This has conjured up a vision that I now need to get out of my head!

The Cliftons bug the hell out of me with the way they take over.
The show is about the celebrities, not them, but their collectively enormous egos geg in on everything, be it pro dances, segments on ITT etc.
I seem to remember Darren and Lilia being dropped from the pro line up because the producers deemed that they had become too famous and were 'bigger' than the celebs, even though the pair of them were lovely and fantastic dancers.

People who put that amount of vitriol out in the universe deserve to be rewarded by seeing the objects of their ire thrive.

In fact, I hope he gets the forum pet next year - that would be fitting.”

And me! Yes, let Kevin have the forum pet next year! I had to laugh out loud when Kevin and Jo got into the finals, knowing the gnashing of teeth there would be on this forum

Heaven knows how Joanne coped with getting Scott. Heck, I bet she punched a hole in the ITT studio and that's why she got probation there next year to repair it.”

Just stop..I'm ROFL ...

Voting for someone because you think it will wind others up? Do kids post on this forum?

Clearly yes as evidenced by all the playground nonsense thrown at Kevin, Jo and Ore!

Idk, is it any more childish than people saying they are voting for Danny for the sole reason to stop a Clifton win? Funny how people can dish that stuff out like it is fine and dandy but they don't like it when people are as petty as they are. What goes around...

I do quite like Karen although she is apparently a bit bitchy and I can find her manic at times. Joanne seems OK - quiet and reserved but I just don't like her being paired with Mr Waterworks Ore who has to find the camera at every possible second.”

Where did you get that Kevin was incensed after losing pro challenge from? apparently he was so incensed he was joking with Gio on twitter and facebook later that night . Jo quiet and reserved?? is the last thing she is (I don't mean that in a derogatory way either)

Kevin has competed since he was 6 and he knows how to take winning and losing - yes he likes to win but he has good grace when he does not - know for a fact that Keith and Judy would have stopped either of them competing as kids if they had reacted as anything other than good sports

I can understand fans of celebs on the show being disappointed when their celeb does not get as far as they want but don't understand when they lash out at other couples who have not gone - it is the fault of the judges and voters not the couples themselves.

Noticed tonight on twitter that someone congratulated Jo and Kevin for making the final (her post had #fam on it ) she is their cousin - but she got a random reply " Excuse me! I thought it was supposed to be about the celebs learning to dance NOT promoting the pros"

the same tweeter has been ranting at anyone who congratulates Louise or Ore too

Strangely I never think of them as a group. They are all great dancers. Kevin is a bit head boy and tries a bit hard for my liking and he never seems to get a complete duffer but does well with his partners. I enjoy watching Joanne dance and her choreography but occasionally she's a little disingenuous with her reactions - and def could have lived without the what us?/blubfest tonight. Karen isn't really on my radar as haven't noticed her that much but sense she likes the limelight, but then so do most performers.

What worries me is the Clifton vs CLifton story will become the narrative to the final.

I saw that person - she seems completely deranged and well seeing she cowers behind an egg account to do her social media bullying. I hate the way people think they can say and do whatever they like on twitter - the abuse that gets directed at people is awful. We've obviously seen it when the Jordans set their attack dogs on Karen, but it keeps getting worse and poor Jo and Ore seem to be the favoured target right now, even moreso than Kevin (for a change.) People think they can say and do anything - forgetting they are real people with real feelings whose only ~crime is to do their jobs well.

Don't mind them at all really, think they have quite a good mix of pro's , I quite liked the look of Jo this time with the blond thing going on, always a soft spot for them lol. Now is Kevin's wig alive?? looked like it was on Saturday hehehehe.

You don't know me, which I count as a major plus. I have no issues with the Cliftons, nor do I believe there is a judging conspiracy. I begin to wonder if this forum is solely peopled by paranoiacs.

And will it be repeated year after year as they are unmistakably the favourites by the producers.
