If I have to hear ONCE MORE about the wonderfulness that was Karen's career I think I'm going to scream!

She has progressively irritated me over the series, I just find her histrionic and self involved and she just rambles ON AND ON AND ON!

When she was talking back to the judges (and she wasn’t even making much sense!) I was like SHUT UP!

And if she says ONE MORE TIME ‘He’s worked so hard’!!!!

(Let me make it clear I have NOTHING against Marc!!!!)


Has anyone read her official website
My god - she's SOOOO bitter and emotional about her past career and its just GET OVER IT and think about someone else for a change!

I don't think she realises that this show isn't actually about her!!!!

She was just standing up for Mark, that's all.

To be fair I think she can say what she wants on her own website.

I was at the top of my career when I had children and chose to stay at home to bring them up. It was a big change, in fact an incredible change, and if I wanted to explain that on my own website I do feel I should be allowed too.

I've definitely had enough of the woman. I spend all the time shouting at the telly "Just shut the **** and show some dignity woman"

I liked her last year, as she was lovely with Bill, but this year, when she has the chance of winning/getting to the final she has been a total pain and seems so desperate.

It's actually put me off even wanting to take them seriously, and it's a shame as I liked Mark early on.

And I wish she would put those chunky legs away. That outfit tonight didn't do her any favours. There was one Latin dance earlier in the series, where he looked the pro and she just looked like an overenthusiastic clumsy amateur.

I so want her to go tonight.

No not in the slightest I thought she was fair in what she said!

She doesn't go on about her career on the show, if you read her website you'd be expecting to hear about it!

Yes, she bugs me. Always has!! I *should* like her, but I just don't and I have no idea why!

She was amazing at the jive though. And I object to how harsh Arlene was.

She annoys me too. I really wish she would just shut up.

I appreciate she is a great dancer but I just can't take to her at all.

I like Karen warts-and-all....but I agree there is a touch of the 'it's all about me' syndrome with her.

This part of your post is cruel and pointless you don't have to like her but to insult her weight is a cheap shot

I agree she is irratating and i no longer vote for mark because of her

She really bugs me too. So unprofessional and emotional. !

DerChef says

I think if it was anybody else I would be pissed off

Yeah Karens a DIVA so what

When I race karts I dont say to everybody I am here for the speed and thrills , there you go ahead and win you deserve it more than me

Ohh yeah

Mark looked destroyed tonight. He has confidence problems anyway and the judges really did a good job on him tonight. Karen was just sticking up for him imo.

I love Mark and wouldn't mind him winning, but yes, she is increasingly getting on my nerves and particularly tonight. Even I was sitting at home thinking "Oh just shut UP!!"

I agree, sometimes when she talks back she comes on a little strong. But I still like her, just wish sometimes she would just smile and nod instead of letting the judges get to her. Arlene was a tad harsh tonight imo.

How dare you say that about her?!

I'm sorry, but what gives you the right to say that about her, do you even know her?

They put her in those costumes, ok she may have some say in what she wants to wear, but don't criticise someone's size.

I'd like to see you go and perform every week on that stage, and go through what BOTH of them go through.

A little of Karen goes a very long way! She is so needy and OTT, and yes I agree about the chunky legs.I feel sorry for Mark as he seems such a nice guy.

Stop this Karen bashing!!

She is a great dancer and she was only sticking up for Mark!!! Karen is fab!

Yea, I never used to have a problem with her, but shes answer back a hell of a lot, and ive heard "we worked so hard" far far too often!

I So agree - i liked her last year, but this year i just want her to SHUT UP TALKING!!! I am sure she is doing her partner no favours either. Everyone is working hard - it's a competition, did anyone enter not to try and win. Bla Bla Bla!!

I ADORE KAREN!!!!! im glad shes sticking up for herself and her partner! on the whole her choreogprahpy is amazing yet unsual!
this women is a genius
GO KAREN!!!!!

Why do some people here have to comment on her 'chunky' legs? (I don;t agree btw) that is so personal.

Didn't know we voted on how Karen looked. I thought it was about her dancing.

And what the hell have her legs got to do with their dancing?!

Emma and Louisa have both said they've put on weight since doing SCD, but people aren't criticisng their sides.

Karen's only standing up for her partner!

At the end of the day, everyone's entitled to an opinion. & if you don't like Karen, fair enough - I mean, I [& many many others] disagree, but it's your opinion.

But to criticise the way she looks & what she puts on her own personal website is just damn out of order. Personally, I hope I look as good as she does after I've had a child

I like Karen the dancer, but I don't like Karen the Diva. I don't see any of the other professionals making such a fuss that she does. Stop the fuss and I may begin to like her.
