What was lacking in her very good performances? She was graceful and technically talented.

The probable reason for her not having voters "warm" to her - this is a stock phrase I see when female performers are being criticised - is probably because she is older and has the bl**dy cheek to be slim, attractive and vivacious.

I presume a lot of voters didn't "warm" to Heather because they didn't identify with her - nothing to do with her skills as a middle range dancer. she had to go too.

This not "warming" and "leaves me cold" sound like empty phrases - covering other reasons for rejecting a performer. They clearly need fleshing out with actual properly expressed reasons. So far, I haven't seen any.

She should be angry because the costume on Saturday was so Hideous!

It is the most unflattering style and completely unsuitable for a novice dancer because it has no movement in it. Only the best dancers - and then only if they are young and very supple - would attempt to wear that sort of thing, as the dressmakers should well know. It's a shame the pro dancers don't have more say in their celebs costumes.

Glad you said that, I thought I was alone. Fortunately I don't have tickets.

I think I was delivered by the stork and that Elvis is still alive and living on the moon.

Now that is the most sensible post I have seen all night!

Disappointed - yes. Rightly - questionable.

Her ballroom was elegant and graceful, but she was always going to struggle with the latin (the rumba excepted).

First, to declare an interest. Her first foxtrot astonished me, her second rumba electrified me, then I became a lance-carrying supporter.

Sadly from the third dance on the choreography did not connect with the audience, nor did the music. Worst of all Cherie did not warm to Cherie. She did not believe in the latin young girl she was assigned to portray and nor did I, ending with the air-guitar teenager in a gymslip.

A shocking waste of her immense potential, as if the choreographer of the first 2 dances had made off. Yes, please please vote on the quality of dancing. And of choreography.

Cherie is lovely and was graceful in defeat.
There was nothing bitter or angry about her that I saw.
Agree the dress was awful.

I dont think Cheri would have gone all the way anyway, as long as the dance was slow and at a walk's pace. But anything faster, she was bad.

LMAO!

what a daft thread!

Goodness me Cherry is reduced to appearing on the SCD travelling show!! Good grief. She must have absolutely nothing else to do, no acting roles etc!! Personally I think both she and James are very poor losers. Quite honestly I thought her outfit on Saturday night and the routine poor. She was so self-conscious in the dance off it was embarrasing to watch. I think everyone is taking Strictly much too seriously this year. No fun and joy anymore now John and Kristina are gone. Everyone seems so desperate to win, to revive sinking careers. No fun anymore to watch! Who cares who wins???? It is developed into the BBC version of X Factor, aruging judges, nasty personal comments to the competitors etc. Quite honestly I find it sickening to hear the judges now all back-track about their comments regarding John. Who would want to appear on Strictly now to face humiliation and vile comments from the judges. Arlene's comment about John being "a pig in cuben heels" is appallling.

You obviously did not see the This Morning programme on the BBC with her and James!!!

Another pointless thread. :yawn::yawn:

It's funny you should say that because last night, as I was gazing out my bedroom window, I thought I saw an Elvis-like shadow on the moon. It could have been the bottle of vodka I'd drunk but I'm pretty sure Elvis was on the moon.
