I think a lot of the time she is looking bemused by Brendan's antics.... she must be wondering how the judges are going to react all the time.
Anyone you're not keen on, but don't know why?

I can't knock him for that though - that competetiveness (which seems to be a bit of a dirty word these days) is why we won the World Cup and retired or not you can't just turn it off.
Perhaps Colin and Darren could mask it better, that's all. I know for sure that I wouldn't want to play Monopoly with any of them!”

This is very well put mindyann. I agree with you completely.

To make this thread a little more positive there is something about Matthew Cutler that I really like but I don't know why
His salsa with Carol, I had to watch it again to notice Carol was there! He looks good!!!! Very good!!!”

Stella - get in line. He is just one of the most stunning male dancers you will ever see.
I fully expected people to think Claire was smug just as i thought people would find Vincent slimy which I've read on here. With both of them there's more than the surface presents. I like both of them because there is more to them. Claire seems really nice when she interacts with people, don't think she is a bad girl and hasn't played it so far and she's coped with Brendans tantrums.

Just can't warm to Louisa and Vincent - it might be a hangover from EE in that Louisa seems a bit too much like Ruby - but I just don't like them
Matt C seems totally adorable - if I got to go on SCD, (I wish!) and considering I'd have to be paired with someone reasonably tall, I'd hope to be paired with him, he seems such a patient teacher.
Vincent: I'm fully prepared to believe he's not at all slimey and sleazy, there are people on here who know and love him - but he does come across that way - rather a shame.

12,762 (don't worry, I tried to stop people taking multiple tickets but I promise it will be orderly).
Sorry guys, haven't read all of the thread properly, I would just like to say I have never been able to warm to Erin.
I know she is a brilliant dancer etc I just don't like her.
I would like Mark to win but I don't think I would if he was partnered with Erin.
Sorry Erin lovers!

Can't warm to Claire- Brendon I've had no real opinions about, but Claire seems so smug, and although she has a fabulous figure I wish she's tone the mutton dressed as lamb schtick cos it really does nothing for her.
Louisa and Vincent- I know she's only 17 etc etc and I have tried to warm to her. But I feel uncomfortable watching her doing "sexy" dances in her revealing costumes, and I always get the impression that she is playing dress up much like a little girl would in her mothers clothes, the fact that she's partnered with sleaze personified aka Vincent does nothing to alleviate my dislike. I wish the judges would stop fawning over her, didn't like her in EE and SCD has done nothing to change that.
Carol Smillie: Bland, forgettable and a bit too like your mum after she's been at the Xmas sherry.
Love Lillia, Darren and Emma.

The couple I don't get are Ray and Camilla - they are really good dancers etc etc but something is very flat about them.
To be picky I don't like Ray's weird actors voice and he seems a bit pretentious and calculating. I noticed them pushing the 'we're falling in love with each other' story last week and some how I don't think anyone is buying it - they have zero chemistry with each other!?

That's the only problem I see with Ray and Camilla. I feel they would be far better playing the we are great mates card and then getting on with it.

To be fair though the 'romance' angle is mostly down to the editing more than anything.

I feel like that about them, which annoys me, they've got everything going for them... but I don't "get" them. I'd like to!
The only time I've come close to "getting" them was the Viennese Waltz.
I just don't like Claire and Brendan. I'm sick of Brendan and his rebellion, but Claire doesn't inspire me at all as a dancer. She is tall and has a good figure, but it's not a good figure for a dancer, I don't think. She looks too statuesque and not very supple. The costume for the salsa was totally wrong for her. There was no fluidity in the skirt, and it made her legs looked like tree trunks. The dance was dreadful as well and you could tell the audience wasn't enjoying it because there was very little applause as the dance progressed.
I don't feel any connection between her and Brendan, their dancing as a couple doesn't please me at all, and I was hoping to see the last of them last Saturday.
