So true. Being nice appeals to a certain demographic who need to feel they can somehow relate to someone who 'is a bit like the girl next door' or a nice neighbour.
This is particularly important if dancing is something they watch but don't know that much about. They know what they like.
Dynamic, particularly talented or different is not their bag. They like modesty and humble, even if the humble is outrageously faked

Louise has had a solid grounding in dance, particularly ballet. She has done a number of pop videos and you can see how well she can move in them. She has also been a judge for another dance competition programme, so she knows her stuff. Of course she's a lovely dancer. She ought to be!
It makes for fairly dull watching yes, but jaw dropping talent is just a bit too disturbing and it makes GBP suspicious.
Shame really, but there it is. She is a nice person and I wish her well, but I tend to prefer someone who really knocks my socks off.
But since I never vote it hardly matters. The public will choose their own for their own reasons. It is just a show.
