Do you really think that? (Not a slam, an honest interested question) The posters on this forum are a tiny proportion of the voters and viewers.

I've posted a few times as to how lovely I have found one celebrity, but I have only voted for them once. I've also voted for Zoe the first week and Patsy last week.

It was also the same in the 1st series when Chris Parker? was kept in week after week after week although he was a terrible dance

Chris Parker had fun with it though. I just find it uncomfortable to watch Fiona Phillips because she doesn't seem to enjoy it at all.

Chris Parker he did look like he was enjoying it, which is partly I think why people warmed to him and kept him in. Fiona looks like she is hating every second.

Too right, all she does is nod her head and agree when the judges tell her she's rubbish. I bet Brendan feels like shaking her.

If she's not enjoying it let her tell all the ridiculous GMTV viewers who must be voting for her, to stop - now!

Look, anyone who phone votes for Keith Chegwin to join them for breakfast is unlikely to listen to reason.

Apparently on GMTV this morning Fiona commented on how surprised she is that Chico is still in the X Factor... oh, the irony

It does seem that since the weekend we have about 3 threads going on this forum which are devoted to "Fiona should be voted off" or "we don't like Fiona because...".

The topic is fair enough but do we need to have so many threads talking about the same thing as well as people posting words to the same effect in other threads and also the fact that there is a massive thread devoted to "Fiona Phillips - anti-feeling" on the Entertainment forums?

I understand this is a big issue in the world of SCD so it should be discussed here but perhaps I could direct some of you to the Fiona Phillips thread in the entertainment forums?

Am I the only one who, while happy to moan about keeping the likes of Fiona in, wouldn't dream of wasting money on a phone vote.

I'm not helping any show to make extra money by lining their coffers with my phone bill. That's why I pay my licence fee and Sky Subscription.

I agree totally, except, SCD if for charity with 12p from every call going to Children In Need...the website declares that "all profits" go to charity. This is why I love it more than X-factor or BB.

Perhaps you can request to have threads merged or closed? I think there should be one thread about her on this forum though - the Showbiz forum is intended for people who have a general interest in her but most people here probably only have an interest in her in so far as it relates to SCD.

I get one vote a week (which i give to bill and karen religiously becaus they are just the cutest couple) and i dont mind voting because it is for charity after all.


This is my written pledge that if Bill goes out before Fiona i am never watch SCD again (this series) So please let me watch and keep Bill in! Fiona is a pian in the A*se who cant dance and doesnt even have a decent personality, i cud understand ppl voting for personality but voting for that lump? please have sense!!!!

I'm just frustrated by how little effort she seems to put in, she has made up her mind that she is no good so doesnt even seem to try on the night.

Wel now Gloria has gone (moved like a supertanker turning), I think it is only right that Fiona gets the push now.

then again maybe its the fee that she is given to be in the show thats keeping her there. She should have went but thats showbiz, you need someone like that to "Spice" it up. The first series I remember Natasha given her fee to a charity that she was involved with.

At least Gloria was trying (and I am far from being a fan of Ms. Hunniford).

I think three people who could've developed as dancers have been thrown off the show in favour of Fiona. I can't understand it. Does she really have such a large fan base? (Or as others have pointed out, Brendan does? Or is the public just taking sadistic pleasure from these terrible displays and awful dances. I had to laugh this week where Brendan was really overdoing the dance moves ... was that to try to make the overall routine win? All it really does is show Fiona up even more).

sorry if it's been said before, but the voting for this show is all about raising maximum money for children in need and voting for your favourite personality throughout the week. It is a shame that the public vote for the following Saturday starts almost a whole 7 days before we've actually seen them dance! This is the main reason why we have a 'surprise' as to who is booted out as most of the public votes have already been phoned in. Unfortunately it means we may have to put up with watching cringeworthy Fiona for more weeks to come- she hasn't even been in the bottom two yet!

Hey come on folk. Give her,her due, she is trying. The British puplic will always vote for the underdog...you go girl.
As for Brendan, has a man ever been more up his own arse!!!!!

Brendan may be a total tyrant, but I think he's perfectly justified in expecting Fiona to make some kind of effort. She decides she can't do the dance, and so doesn't bother to give it her best. She's like I was at five years old when I was learning to ride a bike - I couldn't do it straight away, so I couldn't be bothered. Thankfully, I've grown up a bit since then (and have taken off my stabilisers )

Girls, Girls. Just because you fancy Brendon it is not a good enough reason to vote.
The training clips may be entertaining in a sick sort of way.
Back stage rants and giving the judges a bit of lip adds to the programme.
I can not dance My wife says I have 3 left feet but I know she has to GO!!!

I find it embarrassing to watch Fiona & Brendan & whilst I can sympathise with a fellow two left footer, I do dislike the fact that every effort is being made to garner even more sympathy for her.

Has anyone else noticed the way in which all the VT of her training sessions seems to consist of the tearful moments, Bredan's nasty comments; who knows if he is actually offering her encouragement as we are never allowed to see it, & her dejected comments to camera?

It also helps that the Daily Mirror has been running the stories of Brendan slagging her off as, "the worst partner he's ever had". Funnily enough, he denied ever having said this, on ITT, the next day, but, to my mind it does help this type of story to be printed, when Fiona has a column in the Mirror &, let's be honest, they are getting lots of inside gossip to publish out of every week she stays in.

Sad to say, that, whilst I have every sympathy with her plight, it has reached the point where those who have actually proved themselves to be even fairly competent dancers are going to find themselves ejected from the show simply because people feel sorry for Fiona & this woud be very unfair.

I admit that I don't have a lot of time for Brendan; having always been led to believe that arrogance wasn't a desirable character trait, but I do feel that it is unfair to him that he be asked to continue flogging a dead horse, week in week out, whilst having their Saturday night performances reduced to him strutting his stuff, whilst she bounces up & down, two-footed, around him.

Agree totally - I feel sorry for Brendan - first Sarah and now fiona! she just looks as though she hates every minute of it and I really don't believe she is trying at all. I
all her GMTV viewers should stop voting for her now and do us all a favour
