She is but then again so is Austin, Tom Cherie and Rachel. I thnk they just want to keep these five in as long as they can and get rid of the dead wood celebs. If say Lisa got low scores and ended up in the bottom 4 she'd probably go.

I understand what you're saying..I'm the same.

Unfortunately this year there's not 1 outstanding celeb dancer so whenever there's a celeb who might not even be a great dancer all the way & then by some luck managed to have a good dance on the night could be a cause for a bit of celebration as far as judges are concerned.

Different people have diferent tastes. Lisa and Brendans partnership is one of about 3 I like this year, and even though I still think Kelly and Brendan were better (they had me going wow every dance) I think Lisa has been amazing. But everyone to their own, different dances appeal to different people.

If you've determined to dislike them, of course you 'don't get them'. So the answer is, if you're biased then nothing will ever work. Fortunately not that many of the 10 million viewers are like that.

Overrated by who?
She's only just been tipped as a real contender after being in the shadows of Austin/Tom and Cherie for the last six weeks.

Curious to know why she leaves you cold. Can you give a little more detail as to why ?

I don't get the fascination with some of the other celebs this year, it's just a matter of taste! I love watching Brendan and Lisa dancing together and this comes after years of despising Brendan. But I think they have great chemistry and this shows in the dancing! On a more personal note, I think that Lisa comes across as a really lovely, down to earth and modest girl! She seems really sweet and I want her to do well in this competition!

I like Lisa, and I also like Brendan and her as a couple but I know that I am in the minority. Also confused that this thread is started when she gets a few nice comments abd people start to be a little kinder to them both-its not like anyone is going over the top about them (unlike some others ).

I still can't make myself warm to Brendan, but actually I like Lisa, and a couple of their dances have been good. I am, also, extremely impressed with the improvement in Lisa's posture for the tango, that was a great turnaround and IMO she deserves great credit for taking on the criticism and working to improve so much in a relatively short space of time.

a) Because she did a good performance on saturday.
b) (unfortunately) she still isn't that popular.

yep that's exactly how I feel. I'm liking LIsa a lot. She seems to work very hard, doesn't whinge and manages Brendan very well which as we all know isn't easy

I think you'd be surprised at how popular she is away from this board - a lot of the problems on this board are to do with her dance partner not necessarily her, which is a shame.

I thought their tango was really good - and everyone knows how much I can't stand Brendan

Now I prefer Lisa and Brendan's partnership to Kelly and Brendan, Kelly and Brendan's dancing was all about themselves rather than being a real partnership.

I'm not feeling the connection between Brendan and Lisa, I feel like she's trying to hard to please him and he would probably respect her more if she told him to bog off occasionally, but I've been really impressed with how hard she works and how genuinely nice she is, I would also kill for those legs!

And I can't believe how much negativity there is on this board this year, everyone is so willing to look for the bad, rather than the good. Austin is cocky, Tom is smug, Cherie is cold, it's also quite personal abuse too, if you don't like the dancing of each couple, fine, but why does it have to get so personal?

I agree - For example Tom clearly 'enjoyed' the dance from the SUnday show highlights in the back stage and surely thats all that matters.

Does Brendan like Lisa?, When I see them after the dances and even on their VT he always gives me the feeling he doesnt like her that much and is keeping her at arms length, I dont see him messing about with her in the same way as he did will kelly. Perhaps its me I dont know

As a pairing, I'm a little indifferent to them - I'm not a big fan. But I have to say that dance wise, they've been good and I thought that their Tango was excellent.

I doubt I'll ever be able to warm to any of Brendan's partnerships because I simply cannot put aside my dislike for the man.

Lisa is pretty good and she seems like a nice lass. But she doesn't sparkle. Not for me anyway. I never sense a true connection between her and Brendan, Instead, I always feel like she's dancing to please him in case she gets a telling off afterwards!

Like other have said, it's all very subjective.

Basically the current situation is:

John in dance off with anyone - John goes

Heather in dance off with anyone bar John - Heather goes

Christine in dance off with anyone bar John and Heather - Christine goes.

The rest are pretty even.

There's nothing to "get".
They don't seem to attract a lot of fan-mania (Mattesha/ Mavia) OR a load of abuse (Cherie/ Jessie).

So they just toddle along.

dance wise they are great they were easy the best on Saturday, I don't go for all the adoration stuff other couples do and whilst Brendan toes the line and produces the quality of dances he is doing would be happy to see them in the final

I think they are very good and she is a delight. I like the way she and Brendan are "matey", he gets the best out of her. I am not all that mad about Brendan but credit where credit is due.

I don't believe they will win (though you never know!) but I think they are doing and will do very well.
