Plea to the producers please give Brendan someone with a smidgen of talent and confidence next year so he stays in a bit longer
Poor Old Brendan

Don't even suggest that to us teddyfreddy! Only just getting over that he's not going to be competing in the rest of the series!
Thank god they have gone! Finally! I have to say also that I thought Brendan was extremely ungracious in the way he took his departure. What a contrast to the other male professionals in the first three weeks.
Also, how would the producers know who would have any talent until they start. Its the same problem for all the professionals. It is up to them to push the celebrities to the extent of their (albeit limited) abiliities.

I disagree, Brendan wasnt ungracious he was gutted and rightly so, he is a brilliant dancer who has been held back by a terrible partner, and who won the first series of the show, dont you think it must be so hard for him to go out so early and have to watch everyone continue without him.
Of course he was disappointed. I make the comparison for instance with Darren Bennett last week, who is also a brilliant dancer, has won far more that Brendan ever has, and is rated in top six in the world He has also won Series Two. However, he managed to smile, say pleasant things about his partner, and took defeat in a professional manner. I would add that he also had an unfortunate partner and had no chance of getting very far either. I do not see why Brendan could not have behaved in a more professional manner.
But you have to say Gloria would have been better to work with than non stop moaner/cryer Ms negativity 2005 Fiona

Have to agree, it was about time they went and Brendan looked like a child having a tantrum at the end!

I am sorry I have to take issue with you there Brendan has won so much in his career, just like so many of the other dancers.
He wasn't ungracious he did say that Fiona had improved and that she was a lovely person.

I think I am right in saying that Darren B has won more than Brendan, has a higher European and World ranking than Brendan has, or indeed ever had. however, that was obviously not the point I was making. I don't dispute that Brendan has won many competitions. But I still think his whole demeanour and facial expression and general behaviour was appalling. When you teach dance, part of the learning experience in competitions is to behave graciously if you do not win - most dance teachers like myself would be annoyed if kids behaved like that in competition, from adults and professionals at that it is unacceptable.

<eclipse being a bit dim> Were you essentially calling him a butt head?

Spot on. The guy was absolutely devastated though. He couldn't even look Fiona in the eye during their final dance
. He just looked away while she tried to speak with him. It was very unprofessional indeed

Ahh I see. You have to spell it out for me.
I'm a big Brendan fan. Nothing negative about him enters my head.That's not a very nice thing to say. He still has a cute butt though
Theres only 2 male pros left now Anton gets my vote Ians cute but I just like Antons dancing for me anyway
IF there's another series, and IF he wishes to take part I hope he gets someone with some ability. This year he looked like a Derby winner teamed up with a donkey.

true
nice to get to see the women a bit more though. they seem to be more adventurous with their choreography too which is surprising
Brendan went down in my opinion last night. His attitude was awful. If he is going to *teach* dance he must learn thats its different than*competing in dance* He has to grow up.
You lot all seem to think he'd be great in the bedroom. He probably wouldn't give you a second thought and knock whatever confidence you had in turning you down.
Yes, he got a bad partner, but I don't see why they should be cherry picked for him. The professional are ll great dancers. If he wants to join in (and be paid) he takes the risk.

Totally agree. She was dire. She hadn't a musical bone in her body and I can't think why she entered it. She MUST have known she had no "rhythm".

I think the reason why Brendan is so good is 'cos he is extremely competitive: he HATES to lose.
I like his way of moving, he is marvellous but Ian is very balletic too.
