Why are people anti Rachel????
I personally think Rachel is amazing and apart from this and last week has been sadly under marked.
IMO she without doubt deserved 4 10's tonight. |

No way did she deserve four tens! She stumbled and missed several steps- had anyone else done that they would have penalised. Its a travesty that she received a perfect score.
For me she is cold and she doesn't sell the dance at all. |

Rachel is one of my favourite - not my most favourite, but one of them. Last week and tonight I thought she was amazingly good, tonight in particular she also let a fun side to her show through.

Boring and robotic, doesn't feel the dance.

I'm not anti-Rachel - her dance was beautiful and deserved 9s, but not 10s - she did all of it on the toes as far as I could see and Len at least would normally penalise people for that.

I'm not anti-Rachel as a person, she seems like a perfectly nice, sweet girl. She just bores me to tears when she dances. As I said elsewhere, IMO all the right steps with the personality of a dishcloth.
Someone in another thread called it 'dancing by numbers' and I couldn't agree more. |

I like Rachel but I think she's been overmarked by the judges for the past two weeks because they don't want to see a situation where she's in the dance-off again.

You seem to know more about dance than the average forum member. Could you specify which steps she missed?

I think it's simply to provide a sensible balance to the not wholly deserved adulation from the judges.

Her dances always seem to take ages for me. I guess I'm never excited to see her, and most of her dances haven't really done it for me.
I'm not anti-Rachel really, though, I suppose it's because I haven't warmed to her thus far. |

When I watched the dance the first time I felt it didn't "flow" very well and I wasn't sure what Rachel was doing with her feet, but I am by no means an expert so couldn't say what was wrong. It didn't particularly work for me and I was underwhelmed.
Then the judges waxed lyrical and gave her four 10s. I noted Len's remark that he hadn't been wowed by her jive but now he was wowed by everything. I thought her jive was great, better than this fox trot. But what do I know? |

Now Cherie's gone, the judges seem to have picked Rachel out for special praise and marks.

I'm not anti Rachel at all. I think she's delightful, love her dancing and she's currently my favourite. I was really pleased for her and Vincent tonight.

A bit dull and a bit overmarked perhaps?

Why do people always drag this up when the female dancers they like get criticised? Isn't it possible that some people just don't enjoy watching her dance, female or not?
Because there is a good deal of truth in it. Competitve young girls who dont go all jokey are not liked. Saying that if Rachel was in her 50's she would be forgiven. Just my 2 pence. |

It was too bland for me. But then I didn't think anyone deserved tens tonight.
