Reading thorugh the comments, I have noticed that there are not many comments about these two people, which in my opinion, I think is unfair.
Although I think that everyone has done excellently in this series so fair, I feel that Carol has definitely shone. She obviously puts a lot of hard work into her dancing and is obviously committed. I really do admire her as I can't imagine it is easy. And they think they also have a good chance of winning.

On another note, am I the only person int his world who thinks that Bruce Forsyth rocks?

THink you need to take a closer look. Matthew even has a thread to himself!

G

Exactly, theres a Carol and Matt fan thread and a Matthew Cutler fan thread.....the reason we arn't inundated with them is because they don't have lots of "i hate" about them so theres no arguments surrounding them!

Well said Princess. Others may want all the hype but Carol and Matthew opitimise the very best of SCD. It drives me mad people calling them bland - this couple work hard, have fun and get on with it.

Carol who remembers at all times that its a tv show and a great opportunity and refuses to get involved in any of the BBC's shenanigans.

Matthew whose dancing is anything but bland and brings style, panache and world-class technique.

I'm more behind them than before, because I WANT to get back to the essence of SCD. To those people who are have said that Carol needs to connect emotionally with the dance and that's what makes it bland. Fair comment and I accept to get to the final this final piece of the puzzle must be found.

To all the people calling them bland because they are not involved with the arguments/hype and turning this show into a pale imitation of X-Factor, we will have to agree to disagree.

I think of all the Lady celebs Carol is the one that looks the part of a dancer, imo she has a near perfect figure and an elegant grace ... and has got the lovely looking and patient Matthew as a partner. I hope they go far.

ok, ok, so I didnt, see the thread. My mistake.
And I don't know if the bland comments about Carol and Matt were aimed at me, but I for one do not think they're bland at all.
They are both very hard working and I hope they both go fair with this competition.

No, I don't think they are bland either and some of their routines have been badly under marked. They keep their heads down and work hard, both have sunny personalities and get the job done. I hope they make it to the final because they deserve it.

Annie, of course this wasn't aimed at you! You're post was great and very supportive.

I suppose it was the only opportunity I've had to comment on the 'bland' criticism's levelled at Carol and Matthew. Come and join us over at Carol and Matthew's thread, I'll buy you a drink at Bar Cutler.

Well said! Hopefully this will be their week! They are such a fantastic couple I do so want them to stay in.

I think she really deserves to get a bit further in the competition, she has worked so hard and has been so consistent! She will need the votes this week though as it starts to get tough from here onwards! She's definitely got my support though. I'm voting Carol and Cutler all the way!!!!

I get so nervous for them every single week! I ADORE Team Cutler...probably a little bit too much!!

And the comments DEFINITELY weren't aimed at u hun!
