your opinon

i think she is as entertaining as an ant and her dress sense

She is not suited to the programme, Natasha Kaplinsky was much better. She doesn't really have much of a role on the show, but reading from a card and asking identikit questions

I'd rather have Natasha.

I'm with the Natasha voters.

Natasha might have too much history with Brendan and by default with Camilla to be an impartial host. Whereas Tess has been doing the job since the beginning and knows enough about SCD to do her job and be able to work with everyone on the show.

I'd rather have the drama of the history. It did just add an extra element to the viewing of Series 2.

I love tess! She is wicked!!! Natasha seems a bit cold towards people where as Tess is really cheery and supportive! (But I agree that it is good to see the reactions between Brenda/Camilla/Natasha when she is on!)

Dull as dish water! not in the same league as Natasha imho

blimey! we're in agreement here

i'm not terribly keen on natasha, seems too self-absorbed for my tastes

Sorry, but I have to support Tess. She's a Bolton lass who's done well for herself & seems to be able to get on with the couple so well.

Add to this the fact that her & Vernon chose to get married in one of or local churches; the village isn't all that big & most people wouldn't even spot it on a map, never mind seeing it in the national papers, & I've got to like her.

Im sorry but am I the only one who didnt notice any tension or drama in series 2? Im a bit thick when it comes to thngs like that. They all seemed really normal to me.

Exactly my opinion, I couldn't stand it when she presented the beginning of Series 2. I must say though I don't get why people say that Natasha is more 'qualified' just because she won Series 1. Tess has been with the show from day 1 and started at the same time as Natasha with the same amount of experience. When the series began it seems they were just as qualified. taking this on board does it mean we need to replace Claudia with someone with a dance back-ground for ITT?

IMHO when Natasha stops looking so self staisfied then I will be happy to watch her. To painful right now.

No, you're not the only one. I didn't notice anything either.

And I much prefer Tess as a presenter. She's really cheery and encouraging.

Tess is brilliant. Much better than Natasha at the job. She has so much more warmth and is much nicer to the couples.

I feel sorry for Tess really. The way she has to butter Bruce's huge ego means she cant really get off the ground, i wish they would dump him.

Tess is way better than Natasha - she was so stilted with Bruce's jokes. But have to agree the reactions between Natasha, Brendan and Camilla were interesting last series!

Natasha doesn't have enough confidence and she always appears too busy thinking about herself; also she comes across as a cold and shallow person.

I think Tess is great, she is one of my favourite contemporary presenters; warm and friendly;natural;genuine;attractive; slim without looking like a twig and no 'boob job.'

For those interested:

Tess will be on ITT tonight to talk about dresses, working with Brucie and backstage gossip.

I LOVE TESS. I think she's fab. She does a fantastic job, and SCD just wasn't the same without her.

She also has nabbed a fantastic hubby. I have a litte crush on Vernon.

Tess is fantastic at her job! Her and bruce get on so well on the camera!!! I hated natasha's presenting skills- the only thing i enjoyed was when julien said she looked like a prostitute lol. her face

I prefer Tess too, she's very warm and likeable. Manages Bruce well also.

the only thing that makes me cringe is the dance she does with Bruce at the start - it never looks elegant.

With Natasha it looked elegant.

There were LOTS of moments - or at least moments for us all to build on. There was a particular moment where Brendan reached behind Sarah Manning's back to place his arm on Natasha's rear end who was at the other side of Sarah. I think it was at Blackpool. And then there were the coffee pictures in 'OK' magazine.
Ok I'm stopping, I sound rather sad.

I hate Natasha - one of the great things about SCD III is that she has nothing to do with it.

Tess is tall though, which does make dancing more difficult.

Natasha was rubbish at the Christmas special last year, it was clear she hadn't bothered to keep up with the practice, which unfortunately detracted from her win of series one.

Also, splitting up Camilla and Brendan didn't do her any favours. I'm pleased to read Camilla has found a new happiness with James and I hope there relationship goes from stength to strength.
