Mine too. She absolutely shone in the West Side Story pro dance.
I also love her personality, she's hilarious.

Apart from cave trolls. The finest moment in Peter Jackson's sprawling mess of a trilogy* was the impulse of pity for those pallid ugly trolls in harness charged with opening the gates. Love for the unloveable.

![]() And Pa Clifton would have to endure the outcry of the public when it became known that he had wrenched the very food out of his own children's mouths.

Which ones this series have they been front and centre of?
In Kevin's first year, they brought his mum and dad in and themed a dance around them. Sorry, but that is blatant favouritism. |

Any perceived bias is all in your overactive imagination.
However you must be thrilled at the speculation (of which this is the first I've heard and will take with an enormous pile of salt as it sounds like utter nonsense) about Mr Clifton Snr replacing Len..... as this would make the position of Kevin, Karen and Joanne entirely untenable and they would not be able to continue on the show. ![]() I somehow doubt though that their father would go out of his way to attempt to compromise the livelihoods of his own children. ![]() |

They're actually ruining the show for me.
Kevin, although a decent dancer, couldn't get any smugger. Karen, possibly the most annoying person on the show. (I've never seen anyone play up to the cameras more) Joanne, also incredibly irritating, and a VERY average dancer. Why is there such praise on them from the judges? Does Len know their parents or something? For example, Louise's second dance last night was NOWHERE near as good as they made out, it was average, yet they praised her. If that would have been Danny and Oti, they'd have had something negative to say. |

So nothing really to complain about this year then. Just a pre-conceived bias and a desire to jump on anything that justifies this personally held bias.

Are you a genuine poster d56 or a troll, having a laugh?
Some if your comments are bordering on libelous, by that I mean a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation or a written defamation and online postings are regarded as published. Just enjoy the show, if 3 pro dancers exercise your emotions so very much , give yourself a break and switch over! |

There's plenty to complain about. If you can't see there's a definite bias towards the Cliftons then you're not watching properly. Louise and Ore get away with things every other dancer would get marked down for. The only person who judges them fairly is Craig.
Oddly enough, it's the people who dislike Louise where I most frequently look at their posts and wonder if they're watching the same programme as I am. And I'm a Danny voter. |

Well it doesn't seem to be a problem in the US where Julianne Hough managed to judge her brother fairly for 4 entire seasons.
I have absolutely no axe to grind against any of them but I think it would be wildly inappropriate for their father to become head judge on the show whilst his son, daughter and daughter-in-law were engaged in competition with their celeb partners. |

I'm not a big fan of them or anything, but I like them.
They seem a jolly, straightforward, competent and skilled lot, particularly Kevin and Joanne. Great pros and choreographers, and good fun. |

Well, given the attitudes towards the Cliftons on here, there is zero prospect that there would not be a huge outcry about it and no matter what, the anti-Clifton movement would NEVER accept any high marks as being fair.

The thing is, I don't dislike Louise. She is a good dancer but she hasn't improved since about Week 5. No matter how much they say she has, she hasn't at all. If she was with a partner who could actually tone down his dancing to match her ability, like Aljaz or Pasha, she'd be brilliant. Unfortunately, Kevin has to show at all times how good he is and when his partner has reached their top level, his dancing like his life depends on it makes them look worse by comparison.
However I do agree there are corrections in her dance he needs to push her to do. Namely floor spotting. It was remarked upon how he was showcasing his partner at one point. |
