She's a stunning looking girl, is young, is a good dancer but it ends there for me. My cat has more charisma than her (and my cat's been dead for two years!), she just seems so distant and icey, all the VT shows her whinging and taking time out from Vincent because she needed a break. She seems a bit Diva-ish, spoilt princess type. Is it just me that can't warm to the ice queen. It's a shame how she's coming over, because i think she could go far.

Austin has the "rugby player" card, as well as the "family man" card.

Cherie has the "I'm a mature woman who's just having a go!" card

Tom has the "I've just got married!!!!!!" card

Rachel is just being herself. I find it cringeworthy when contestants exploit their family etc in order to get votes. That also doesn't mean that they have a great personality.

You got me here under false pretenses, but you're right, icey.

But on topic, I'd sadly have to agree. I love Vincent - he's so very very sweet and such a laugh, but I get the feeling he's playing off a brick wall with Rachel. She is a good dancer and it would be a pity for her to be voted off because the public don't take to her personality, or lack of. I don't seem to get the feeling that she's enjoying herself.

I think she's very bland but a bit of a sweetie.

She and Vincent make an attractive couple...and she's the best dancer of this year's crop.

I've seen no evidence whatsoever of spoilt, diva-ish behaviour or iciness.

I know what you mean but I also think it could be down to editing. I enjoy her partnership with Vincent and I'm a bit of a Vincent fan so I'll give her a chance and some votes!

I don't think she's an ice queen at all, I think she's just a bit shy. It's like her personality doesn't go with her looks, she seems like a naturally quiet and modest person which isn't what you'd expect, given that she's so stunning to look at.

I was wishing tonight that Vincent had someone with a bit of spark. Rachel's sucking the life out of Vincent.

She is deathly dull. Remember when Vincent was with Louisa? She was such a bubbly little thing and they bounced off each other so well. Rachel just has no personality.

That's exactly what I was thinking

Ah - but he brooded beautifully in the background, tantalising a veritable HOST of ladies to dial in them there votes!

I keep forgetting that she's in the competition! She's a good dancer, but has about as much charisma as a wet marshmallow!

Ermmmm Sclub7, performer, painfully shy? and what was the single she brought out, dressed in black leather (or am I thinking of someone else) I don't think so

I think Rachel's nerves are just crippling her at the moment and she's freezing up quite a lot. The next couple of weeks will make or break her - she'll either overcome or learn to deal with those nerves or she'll start to sink.

I like her. But I am not buying this shy thing at all, she flaunted her body plenty as a soloist, and anyone remember the testicular examination advert?

Shy my arse

Have to agree. She has beautiful lines and grace but isn't too exciting.

Many performers are actually very shy people, Johnny Depp is pretty shy.

Rachel is completely innoffensive and there's nothing wrong with that but her and Vincent don't make the most interesting partnership I'll agree.

However, I thought they were wonderful last night, probably just edged Tom into being my favourite performance. She did very well.

But when he acts he is very exciting and mesmerizing to watch.

Mark was shy and he flaunted his body on the show.

She is not painfully shy - she has spent much of the last couple of years doing the "Remember me! I am a sexy little pop kitten with few clothes" photoshoots that girls with little talent and symetrical features rely on...

here is Rach doing shy:

Personally, I think she is just one of those dead-eyed ambitious "SMILE!!" kids they churn out of stage schools...

Why single out Rachel. None of the girl celebs this year set the show alight. I still enjoy the Sat and Sun shows though.
