however I am probably biased because I seem to be the only female who doesn't find him attractive in the slightest! I'm sorry, don't eat me it's only my opinion, but he does seem a bit boring and a little wet......maybe it's the kids tv presenter thing!”
I don't find Gethin the slightest bit attractive but he is still a great dancer.

No way was that AS worth a 10
I`ve always thought they should leave the AS until later in the series as it has the potential to be a `wow` dance. Even the RBC said Letitias was the best ballroom of the evening.
As you say Muggsy, compared to Colins AS Gethins was just not in the same league and I`m amazed there hasn`t been an `I love Gethin but he was overmarked thread`
Gethin has come on a lot, but I agree, his AS was not worth a ten at all. But then, considering how devalued the tens have become (bar Craig's) it doesn't make a difference now!

Agree his AS didn't feel it deserved 10's. Don't know why the judges are just handing them out so easy this year. I really like Gethin but felt he was overmarked in AS.
The only one who's taking the 10s seriously is Craig, the others give them out willy nilly based on their mood. But Gethin was very good, IMO, although I expected more and at least he did not crack under the pressure like Matt and even seemed to be enjoying his dances.
He's impressed me the last couple of weeks (but I don't think he deserves 10's with splayed hands like that !) but every time I see his face I cannot for the life of me help but see Steve Martin in Roxanne (y'know, the Cyrano de Bergerac film with Darryl Hannah)
