...apart from those who have gone, like Heather, who was really nice (not saying the others weren't)........

Christine
Jodie
Rachel
possibly Lisa, haven't heard about her one way or the other.

Non-malicious, not supercilious, loved John and didn't resent him being saved by the public.

All women too!

are you suggesting Austin and Tom weren't nice to him then?

The only celeb I've seen show even a shred of bitterness towards John has been Cherie, and likewise the only pro doing so seems to be James.

Happy to stand corrected if I've missed something but everyone else seems to have been fine.

Christine is genuinely nice. I really hope she makes it at least to the semi-finals. Jodie seems like a nice girl too. Rachel and Lisa I'm not sure about. Tom is okay, but I dislike Austin. Sorry.

I went to watch the show a couple of weeks ago and Jodie was lovely.

I am voting for her - don't care if she is the weakest in there, she is my favourite

Jodie has very much converted me ... when SCD started I'm afraid I had definitely pre-judged her and was kind of prepared not to like her. Actually she seems lovely and I really like her now! Her and Christine are my new favourites (now John has gone lol)

I want Rachel to win, she's who i'll be voting for.
I know it's not "cool" to like the non-underdog sometimes, but I do think she's had a journey and I think she's really sweet not to mention gorgeous and a beautiful dancer. She might not be the most outgoing, in-your-face celebs ever but she seems like a nice girl and I like her relationship with Vincent.

I'd say out of those Jodie and Christine are the only genuine ones. Jodie is particular has surprised me as I never expected to like her at all. I think Lisa would be nicer paired with someone else-Brendan brings out the worst in people.

I just cannot take to Rachel at all though. Cold and dull.

Jodie most certainly, she has always reached over and given John a reinsuring tap on the shoulder or arm.

With Jodie, I certainly judged a book by it's cover incorrectly. She is such a sweet, likeable person, so down to earth. It seems she doesn't have a bad bone in her body!

My favourite contestant to ever participate in Strictly .

Someone who had a relative at the show said Jodie and Christine were really sweet to him.

Heather Small is being very nice about him on Newsnight

When was Cherie nasty to John? Come to think of it, when was James? All James did was speak the truth. Are you sure you're not just making this up as an excuse for it to be alright for them to have had to leave the competition in order to keep JS in? (Rather futiliy, as it turned out )

He said on ITT they got on very well. She seems like a nice lady.

i always got the feeling Christine was quite close to John. she seemed quite upset on the one show about him leaving.

Not entirely sure how people are making their judgements here - it all seems very subjective.

Jodie and Christine.

I view Tom as being on of the celebs who is totally loving the experience...you see him every Saturday giving enthusiastic applause to all his fellow celebs and really getting into the experience.

He hasn't come out and said he is desperate to win and today's ITT is the first time i have heard him say he wants a 10.

agreed........

I have to say it came across to me more like he was saying he deserved a ten. But maybe that is just me.

I know

For me Christine didnt seem overly upset John had retired and she couldnt wait long enough to ask him "who should people vote for now?" with a *please say me* look of desperation behind the eyes. It worked

Actually, I thought he was saying he felt he wasn't but should be at the standard for a ten, but recognises that he has made mistakes in each dance so far.

Fair enough.

Perhaps it is just you, but still, the main point of my post i relation to this thread was the first bit.

Cherie hasn't said anything nasty at all! She was gracious in defeat, always the lady. Agree Heather is really nice.

Jodie, Christine and Rachel are lovely and they have all improved so much.
