Perfectly calm, sweety!!

YOU find them smug and irritating, others find them delightful. Funny old world isn't it??

As to their parents/Len/BBC comments, they sound like desperation on your part.

But obviously not the wider public eh? Two of them in the semis. Burn.

I think that for what these threads lack in quality, they're trying to compensate for with sheer quantity.

The standard of trolling has really gone downhill this year, has it not?

Wasnt there a thread like this one here last week?

And yet only one other agreeing with you in this thread thus far, the rest of us don't seem to loathe the Clifton's.

It's poor. They wouldn't make a final.

Bring back Terry!

NONE if this is true in the real world.

1) Technically it's the CELEBRITIES people vote for

2) Ever heard of viewer manipulation? Ever heard of under marking and over marking? You should learn about viewer manipulation, Simon Cowell is REALLY good at it.

Yeah because Digital Spy forums represents the REAL world

Simon Cowell is on the other side, this has not occurred in Strictly.

This thread isn't in reality.

I think that if you can be bothered to count, you'll find there's many more than 1. However, I'm sure that like me you have far more important things to do like count how many frozen peas are in 500gms, than waste time on such a useless search for anti Clifton threads,

When so many different people share the same sentiment, I think it's safe to assume there's something about them which has the potential to irritate...

I agree Kevin over dances and Karen is very attention seeking, Joanne would be much more popular if she wasn't associated with them. To be honest, a lot of the other pros do the same as the Cliftons, I think the difference is that it feels like there's no let up from them - whether it's the pro dances or in the main show, the producers clearly love them even if few others appear to.

Oh sorry, I didn't realise that you were speaking for the entire world - how silly of me.

Exactly.

Maybe your real world......................

As much as they're is a lot of bias towards them which is ruining the show, that's down to the BBC/producers/judges not the Cliftons themselves - I actually like Kevin, Karen and Joanne.

Rubbish. The judges did everything they could for a Kellie/Kevin win, didn't work. Same for Natalie, didn't work. Peter Andre ring any bells?

Yes it should probably be based only on the celebs but it's about the partnership. That's why I didn't vote for Claudia because even though I like her I dislike her partnership.

What has that to do with my reply You are on a DS forum asking people on here a question, now you are saying their replies unless they tie in with your opinion don't matter, is that right?

Well, you know.... I know a lot of people who enjoy Strictly and watch it every week - and I have yet to find anyone who has a bad word to say about Kevin, Karen or Joanne. Anyone who has commented is either indifferent to them or actually really likes what they all do - both with their celeb dancer and as part of the show.

Just as well there is balanced opinion outside of the DS Strictly forum steamroom, isn't it?

Bring on more Clifton's I say, the more the merrier!!

They have the brightest personalities and shine when in the spotlight... Neil Jones & Chloe have tried to seal that this year but nope, Clifton reigns supreme!

I used to hope that Kevin got a duffer next year because I find his choreography a bit bland for my tastes, but I truly, desperately hope he gets a ringah and goes straight to the final again. In fact, I hope he never gets a duffer - I hope he's front and centre every week, scoring high and makes people choke on everything from his kicks, to his hair, to his wife to his parents.

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.

Yep, I don't like them either. They are too smug and show-offy for me. Nothing would make me happier than Kevin coming 2nd for a 4th year running, with Joanne coming 3rd and Danny/Claudia winning.

The only solace I get is that thanks to Will Young leaving, we don't have to put up with three Cliftons in the final. That'd be overload!

You're not alone, but I don't agree. I like them all. Incredibly talented, hard working, and nice people.
