I feel a tad bit sorry for Kevin. He has lost the final four times. I still think that he should get a duffer for next year.

He might be the nicest, sweetest man who ever walked the earth....... but that doesn't take away from the fact that he hasn't managed to engage with the voting public well enough to give him the win on this show.
If he chooses/ is chosen to stay for next year, he really needs to tell the producers to give him a duffer to partner, as apart from his first year when his partner was probably the reason he didn't get the votes (she was too Marmite), he has been given a contender - something no other pro has been given. It's not fair that the other dancers have to deal with the less able candidates year after year whilst he gets handed a ticket to the final four years on the trot. Having to deal with an Edwina Currie, Esther Rantzen or Gloria Hunniford next year would go a long way to rehabilitating him with the viewers, as would the recognition by the judges that he and his partners make errors which are penalised when others make the, but ignored when Kevin does! Come on producers - give the guy a break and let him rehabilitate himself in the ranks of the also rans for a couple of years. Incidentally - Joanne and Ore were worthy winners last night.... 3 absolutely amazing dances performed with heard and soul in every move. |

Whilst not quite on the same level as the OP, I too like Kevin, have done since he first appeared. Yes I'm dissapointed he didn't win again. I am still of the opinion that he is by far the best choreographer in the show at the moment.
I don't think he will get a duffer next year, because of his skill and his reputation on the show. BTW if he isn't so popular with the public how come he has only ever been in one dance off in four years? The public vote got Louise out of the bottom two last week. So maybe next year And sorry all the vitriol against Kevin is part of the reason I do not join in on this forum as much as I used to. |

I agree with the rest of your comment though, it would be nice and different to see him with a 'dud' contestant but regardless I love him on the show. |

I cannot see any evidence that the pro, by engaging with the audience, wins Strictly - it's the celeb, or just possibly the pairing. This forum, in my opinion, massively over-emphasizes the role of the pro in winning. Also, you need a celeb of the right type, in Kevin's case a 30-ish woman who can dance. He won't win with a 40-ish partner - no-one else has.

I love Kevin Clifton
I can't see the point of anyone on here having a go at any of the professionals, who are just doing their job, teaching and presenting their partner to the best of their ability.
It just so happens some are better at it than others. |

. Perfectly nice woman got labeled mumsy and beige and accused of dressing like a granny . Those are the milder 'insults' .So it's as much to do with his partners as about him . Women get treated very harshly in my opinion , much more harshly than men . T'was always so and unlikely to change . He could dance with a woman who rescued 45 children from a burning orphanage and she'd still get slammed for being too chubby/loud/thin/mumsy/beige/ or for not rescuing the orphanage cat . Kevin is not cool and doesn't have a sexy foreign take-me-to-bed accent or a rippling swarthy torso either, like many of the other pro guys . They should give him a male partner next year . Yep , a nice gay man with fabulous looks and def with a cute accent . That way he'd be guaranteed to win . |

However, if the Pro does not produce the right choreography, the celebrity is hampered.
Too fast Too slow. Too twee. Too action-man. Too much content. Not enough content . His receding hairline is evident (oh how hilarious) . He smiles too much at the judges. He sulks at the judges comments. He scowls in hidden corners. He takes over in the Clauditoreum. EVERY . SINGLE. TIME . He has flounced from the Clauditoreum .(might be in the loo, but why spoil a good potshot). It's relentless, but unfortunately his non-fans are very very verbose and tend to feed off each others' negative comments so it looks like there are more than there actually are . Group think ? Probably . |

His choreography is excellent most of the time . But he has a tiny crew of non-likers who will criticise everything he does . Examples.

I think his partners may have had an effect though . None of them have been super popular .Kelly Bright most certainly drew some shocking brickbats on here for daring to live up to her name and be bubbly and loud . Then Louise

In short I'm a feminist and have the scars of arguing with douches on You Tube to prove it but I support MRAs that dudes don't always have it easy either and certainly not on here in the immortal words of Len - give over. |

Apparently it's OK for them to be relentlessly repetitive tedious, but it's not OK to post that you find them so. |
