She is probably gutted that Gladiators isn't still on, where she could have been Olympia!

I am not keen on watching her skate, but give her credit for trying and improving but cannot stand her arrogance and churlishness towards Todd. DOI is doing her no favours personally, regardless of how many goldmedals she has won, which Ims ure everyone admires her for.

That is why she didn't give up when her whole time seemed to be spent recovering from injury and is why she wont give up now.

Make your minds up people - love her for being the hero of our Olymics - And all the personality traits that goes with it. OR have a go at her for being compettitive - you cant have it BOTH ways
Just because you have two Olympic golds at running doesnt mean you will make a good ice dancer

she looks like a cart horse on ice

sorry but i speak as i see

she must have the sympathy vote, but the more she gobs off in the papers the more sympathy she will lose

no one likes a big head and thats how she comes over to me

Oh come on guys, give her a bit of a break.

The way I see it, she's trying to do something that's way out of her experience - it's a skill, but also a show. Bonnie and others have that showmanship in bucket loads, but Kelly obviously doesn't.

A lot of the time she looks like a startled rabbit, but fair play to her for giving it a go.

I think what comes across as arrogance is perhaps, a result of her nerves and defensiveness. She knows she's out of her comfort zone, and she knows she's not the same physique as say Bonnie, but she is giving it what she can.

I'm not sure I believe what the papers say, but I do think if she could relax and be a bit more gracious with regard to the criticisms and advice then she'd enjoy it all more, and come over better to the audience.

Do you know thats exactly what I thought.

I found it really silly in week one, where her partner lifted her in the air and she pulled toungue's at the camera! Childish and pathetic. She is taking the whole thing way to seriousley.
