OK got down to your local pub tomorrow and do a survey and I bet the majority would not like him

When I did this last year it was like 70% that did not like him

sample size?
I have zero confidence in your maths also

But most do...You are in the minority ..Sorry
Most people I know , in real life, including me, really like him , and find him lovely with his celebrities. I do not understand the irrational vitriol against him on here.

Final size I did was 212...I did spend 3 hours doing it so don't feel the need to rush it

It a good excuse to sit and have a beer as you wait

Or wine if you prefer

Good Luck

I am absolutely loving the image of the OP down his local pub, doing a survey on Kevin Clifton!

I would like him a little better if he didnt do most of his dances as though we were still in the 50s / 60s
if he didnt kick his leg at the start of every programme
wasnt so frantic
and wasnt part of a clan thats taking over SCD

No forum can survive without a hate figure. It's the Cliftons here, Karren Bradley on the Apprentice forum.

I'd like to see Kevin with a partner who is not a shoe in for the final in week. I think my annoyance with him comes from all his partners being already goood dancers. He's never had to teach anyone to dance and struggle trying to choreograph a routine around the ability of his partner I like Kevin as a person but think he's had an easy strictly experience even though he's been there for a few years now.

He could choose to walk away but it would be his call.
Something about this year makes me feel he might just call time on it.
I have the feeling his partnership with Louise really made a big impact on him.
He seemed very emotional about the end to the series. I think he truly has made a friend for life. My gut tells me this series has been the one he has enjoyed and felt the most.
After four finals in a row and this particular series it would not surprise me if he callls time.

With an argument like that, I'm certainly convinced.

No take it out his hands,,, If I was the Producer I would call him in the office before he leave tonight and say.....Kevin Your Fired.,,, You got to be tough to be kind,.. It may be the making of the Boy...May help him evaluate where has gone wrong with his life and stuff...I hope so anyway

Maybe if he has 4-5 years away he could come back a better person in time

I think his track record deserves better than to be fired irrespective of how talented people say his partners have been but I respect your opinion.
And his partners have been glowing in their praise of him to be fair so he can't be that bad.

I admire what you say too and I respect this but this is business. .He is not popular and need to go IM afraid

Also Karen should be given a final warning not to speak as much when they are upstairs...Its becoming tedious now her antics

I think his spirit animal, whatever that is, has already left and is running free over the horizon.

I like Kevin I don't see why he should leave if he is happy doing SCD. He comes across as a nice person to his partners and a good choreographer

Shop in not shoe. But I agree with your points.

Shoo in, not shop.


I think he should have a duffer but I don't wish one on him out of dislike. Joanne did a great job with Scott Mills and I think it would take some pressure off him if he had someone who obviously wasn't going to the final. He could kick back and relax a bit and have some fun getting the most out of a duffer. Just ask Katya!

Kevin's a good pro in terms of teaching and choreography. The public seem to like him (even if he can't win). His partners seem to like him. As long as he doesn't get too frantic in his dancing, usually with Karen, he can stay for 10 years.

Shrewd move, fire the pro who has performed the most consistently over the last four years (by a mile). It makes complete sense.

If he gets another potential finalist next year I will be annoyed. It's his time to have a dud so that another male celeb has the chance to go far with his partner

There has been some bias since Kevin joined the show always getting a good dancer and making the final. He's a good pro and comes across as a nice person.
