Does "knowing" the dancers put you off them at all?

Sorry, VinTHent.

So when I see him dance I just can't take him seriously. Same for Matt Cutler and Ian being so camp! When you hear them speak. And now I know about the real Tony Beak.


Anyone else gone off someone for "personal" and not dancing reasons?”

HOW VERY DARE YOU
You are now on my list mister

There are some pros I've gone off because of they way they have come across this series. Some I am still indifferent to, and there's one whom I've grown to like a bit more.

I hope you are not talking about "knowing" in the Biblical sense!

On ITT it was said that Flavia wanted to dance with Gethin but Camilla was lucky enough to be chosen.

Yeah I know that. I'm not sure how that relates?

No, I love getting to know the dancers alongside the celebs. The one exception to this is Brendan, who I just think is out for self promotion not for dancing or the show - his personality makes me not want to watch him.

I find Matthew really intriguing, just because he's so different to what I'd expect - bearing in mind the things he achieved in his career. So he's an example of someone who I've enjoyed getting to know a bit, even if I'm not convinced we're seeing all sides to him. Plus he's the one I always end up watching in the pro-latin dances, which is an achievement considering it's normally the female dancers who attract all the attention. He just makes it all look so fluid & easy.

Anton's latin dancing puts me off watching Anton do latin. I think he's got a great personality though and obviously enjoy his ballroom.

Don't know about the professionals but with the celebrities i never liked Kelly Brook, so even though she could sort of dance i never really warmed to her.

I'm not sure why but I always thought that Darren was gay. Probably just a terrible stereotype that I have but I was genuinely shocked when I found out he was married to Lilia!

Sorry I made my post like that, just wanted to avoid an argument Maria Sloan. The ones I've gone off a bit this series are James (still like him as a dancer, but that's it) Camilla; never taken to her and don't like Brendan. *dons suit of armour*

The ones am still indifferent to/dislike are Anton (he does make me laugh sometimes, but that's it) Ola, even though I liked her with Kenny.... and Ian.

Being paired with Letitia made me like Darren a bit more, seeing a bit more of Erin on ITT did the same.

Do you think he has a dark side?

I feel the same, I think we could still have a bit more (in lieu of random celeb guests who don't know what the show is called plugging their wares...) but I think they have made more of an effort to involve the pros which is great

Any excuse to show this - cracks me up every time....

Lol, I dunno about that. It's just all the stuff he's achieved in his career - there must be alot of grit and determination.

That was seriously funny (if you know what I mean). Trouble is, it makes me want to watch the GA dance again which is even funnier.

God those guys are hot (but camp) though!

It's great, that clip. The dance was unbelievably camp but cracks me up having seen matt taking the piss

Has to be said, major credit to all the guys for still managing to 1) make it look almost like a real dance by dancing it really well and 2) looking incredibly hot doing such a rubbish routine. Class

i personally like knowing about the dancers lilia is my fave actual dancer and she has a great personality as well which makes her by far my fave also i love matt cutler he isn't my fave dancer (i do like him) but i think his entries on carolcam last year were so funny that i really warmed to him after that

I like knowing the people behind the dancing. 99% of the time it makes me love them even more. Although I enjoy DWTS because I can watch it objectively because I don't know those involved. Best of both worlds

Oh dear! Not sure how I missed this, but it nearly did me a mischief once I compared it with the video of the performance. Gives a brilliant insight into Matt C's sense of humour . And I've never been so glad to see Camilla....

No its cool I understand but this is between me and you and I promise not to argue with you also never be scared to express your opinion your entitled to it Doesn't mean everyone is gonna agree with it eg. me lol I agree with the Camila and Ian those two I have never warmed too and I do like Erin this is my first year of SCD and even though she was voted of early I really like her however I love Ola she is my favourite pro her dancing just wows me and shes so cute haha not in your face like some cough*Karen*cough lol but if you like Karen no affense as I don't dislike her lol

I really don't understand why/how Karen evokes such strong negative feelings in people. I think she's very passionate and genuine, and her partnership with Mark last year was inspired. She comes up with some rather tragic comments sometimes, but that's Karen. She's definitely my favourite female pro
