I'm almost relived that Austin's gone: not because of his dancing but because at least we don't have to listen to endless tacky comments from Tess anymore. How many times did she trot out the awful 'Get the guns out' comment last weekend? Imagine the uproar if Bruce made comments like that about any of the female dancers physiques.

Crickey, I though one of the floor managers was going to have to come on and throw a bucket of icy water over her to calm her down.

She really is the most dreadful, comon, brassy woman imaginable. (She almost makes Kerry Katona seem sophisticated)

She was a bit embarrasing when trying to remove Bruce's shirt after Austin took his off.

Generally though she is OK and does a good job IMO.
It's her affected accent that annoys me. "Jooges" in particular slips in out of place. Why does Tess try to disguise her real accent? I would much rather hear that.

Imagine if Bruce kept asking Lisa to get her tits out?
But of course it is different the other way round - she couldn't even see that he was really embarassed about it.

Yes, week 12 and she was still going on about his muscles.

Very boring and I would think insulting to him.

Typical female double-standards. It's OK for women to go and see male strippers, but if a man goes to a strip or pole-dancing club, he's an old, mac-wearing pervert.

Tess just comes over as being like a rough barmaid. Its like a benny hill scetch or a bad Carry On movie.

I'm also intrigued as to why the wardrobe department don't make her wear some decent underwear. Her boobs never seem to be the same shape twice. The dresses she wears are pretty dreadful anyway but a decent bra might help her look a little more 'in hold'.

Didn't she also hold his bum during the group hug at teh end. I'm sure her hand was positioned on Austin's lower back.

Do you think Austin has a case for sexual harassment?

Yes, it was embarrassing wasn't it and I don't think poor Austin was at all comfortable with it.
Her previous drooling over Mark Ramprakash also turned my stomach.

Mind you I loved her dress on the results programme. You could almost see if she had a brazilian.

Women do it all the time on TV and get away with it. If a man did hit he wold be called a perv.

Arlene /Sharon Osborne X 1000+ female presenters...

It's ok women are allowed to do it they dont really mean it unike we male pervs

Tess is a complete air-head, I don't know what she brings to the show. Perhaps she she is secretly an expert at mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in case Brucie collapses ?
I agree, it was all a bit cringe-worthy..SCD trying to appeal to the LCD of the Briitish public ?

Austin was loving it, or he wouldn't have took his topoff at the end.

Yes, probably. I have mentioned this loads of times and on SCD forums countless people have mentioned it and how yukky it is. She seemed to stop for a couple of weeks but is back on 'top-gun' form again.
The only good thing about Austin going is that we wont have to cringe when Tess starts drooling.

Graham Norton should host it on his own, like the guy on Dancing with the Stars

I agree, asking someone to get there arms out is hardly the same as asking a women to get her breasts out like some people seem to think.

Not that it wasn't cringeworthy.

I think Tess represents the view of most female (and some male) viewers to the show. She is fun and not at all stuffy. I think her comments are funny. I think that there is an older element who may view strictly who may be shocked that females actually verbalise this. Wake up and smell the coffee

More like 'there is an older element who wouldn't be so common as to verbalise such thoughts on TV'.
I ain't shocked, just appalled at some of her comments. Still haven't forgotten her 'will you be seeing each other after the show' to Flavia and Matt last year.

Austin had three comments about his "gun" in the Sunday night show. I should imagine he (briefly) took off his shirt to shut Tess up.

What the hell is wrong with the woman? She comes across as a tragic sex-starved psycho ...
