What's happened to Tess, she is so confrontative this week and she looked awful again. Bring back the old Tess please

Me too she should hav eleft brendan alone!

Why? He's been spouting off all week about what he thinks so surely he wouldn't mind being asked directly about it today?

I don't know what it is about Tess, but I just can't take to her. I find her quite wooden, she's not a 'natural' presenter IMO.

I actually thought she made Bruce look good tonight....which is an achievement of sorts!

Calm down dear! Have a cooooppa tea and enjoy all those cooooples dancing, as Tess would say - what a tess pot she is.

I was in the studio last week and I have to agree, I think she actually looks positively bored with it all, and seems disinterested, in comparison to Bruce who is so enthusiastic about it all

last week he didnt mention EMMA!! why bring himinto it at the scoring stage!!

Tess was out of order and should GO!

I have to agree with musicangel he and in that I mean BRENDAN never brought up Emma... He brought up the bad marking and the only name he dropped was Ray's...

It was then on ITT that Claudia brought up favourites and because it was Craig with him it ended up Emma being the example... If Bruno had been there he would have to have brought up his obvious favourtism to Lousia and would all this have happened???

I never really liked Tess, but after last night I think she was damn wrong... Its not fair to critise someones opinon... And he'd explained himself clearly enough on ITT so why they need to keep bringing it up I don't know...

ROFLOL!

"Tess pot"??? That is a VERY clever play on words. Uncharitable. But very funny and smart.

I too do not like her, she was way out of order, she's also eally smug and did anyone else notice her doing weird stuff with her lips!?!? trying to pout or something?

One final point, after 'that' episode did anyone else think Claire was glaring at Tess, she seemed to be throwing her a few looks.

you are so right, it's the accent I can' stand, please don't jump on me I am just a southern girl, born and bred.
I'll take a coople of aspirin and ave a lie doon.

What has happened to her dresses this year? Last year they looked more and more stunning each week, and really classy. This year it looks like someone's trying out lampshade designs on her!

I think the accent is definitely bugging me this series, and she just spouts such rubbish during the backstage chat.

And those outfits - put them back on the lamp stands, please!

I'm a Northern girl and I think Tess's accent is laid on thick...I know she's from Sheffield or somewhere, but even Darren B (also from there) doesn't sound that strong.

she's probably copying her husband re: her accent as he always lays it on so thick you can never understand what he is saying without subtitles!

She seems pleasant, but her interview technique makes me cringe - she even makes Davina look good. I know her friends and family chat only lasts a minute or two, but it seems like hours - I blush at her nonsensical babble and frozen smile, you'd think she could manage even slight coherence!

The coom dancing thing does bug me a bit too.

she was most definitely glaring at tess although it can sometimes be hard to see as i swear claire always looks like she is chewing gum.

Tess is SOOOO irritating! I used to think it was Bruce that brought her down (as he IS doddery!) but its her! She is AWFUL! She winks and nudges and if a 'conversation stopper' had to be represented by a person it would be Tess Daly! GET CLAUDIA to do the main show!

I LOATHE Tess Daly!

She is soooo awkward and uncomfortable to watch!

Claudia doing the main show would be hysterical!

*bursts into laughter just thinking about it*

That really could be funny... :blink:

I used to think Tess was good however lately I have begun to think along the same lines. I did miss Tess when she was off taking time off from having her 1st child. I do think it would be better to bring back Natasha as she knows what the celebs will be going through!!!

Personally, despite not being a fan of Kerplunsky, when she filled in for Tess it did prove just how poor Tess can be.

Tess was very irritating this week. Totally unnecessary comments to Brendan about Emma. Anyone who doesn't watch takes 2 would have been mystified.

Mind you she is generally very annoying anyway. She never seems to know what's going and she clearly doesn't listen to whats said. Presumably she's listening to someone in her earpiece so can't pay proper attention.

Dress was better this week though.
