As stated in the title, why doesn't Brendan have a break from all the silly tv shows he does and take some time to learn the AT??

He knew it would be in the semi finals, as it has been for a few years.

So instead of complaining and trying to manipulate the public into feeling sorry for you, just shut up and learn the dance!!

Perhaps, going on past years partners with the exception of series 1, he didn't think he'd need to learn it?

Matthew Cutler and Camilla didn't have lessons before the competition last year so it's not as if it's only Brendan that hasn't bothered!

I know that, I'm just saying that he is complaining every chance he gets that he has never danced it before. That is nobody's fault but his.

I thought for first time he was stunning! and bloody good job!!

he dos have to earn money....

But it was a fantastic AT, and he didn't say he was nervous tonight, Arlene mentioned it.

But I don't recall Matt Cuttler moaning incessantly about being new to the dance.

I did become fed up with Brendan playing the 'I'm not an expert' card.

Being an expert did Flavia no good last year and being novices didn't hold Ramps & Karen back the year before.

I thought he did a fantastic job and that it was sweet that he said he didn't want to let Lisa down

Love the title of this thread.

Yes, he was very charming tonight

And me Good point, succinctly made!

his AT was fantastic .... and i don't seem to see him at more celeb parties than any of the other pros ... just being the most well known he tends to get coverage more

Not the point being made here. just think that instead of complaining he has never danced it before and implying that R+V have an unfair advantage he should STFU and learn the bleeding dance.

I actually can't believe that he's never danced it before. It's a bit weird that as an experienced dancer he's never been curious enough to learn it. Same for those professionals (e.g. James) who said they've never danced the salsa.

He didn't complain and he said Vincent may be world champion but he doesn't have Lisa.

freedom of speech ... he was nervous .. he said so ... much more human than the keeping schtum

Exactly, you would think that a professional dancers, thay would want to vary their experiences.

Have I mentioned him being nervous?? NO. I just think that he should not manipulate the public by saying he has nevr danced it before as that is nobodys fault but his.

give me a break ... manipulate the public ... i'm sure some people think we're all drones that do as told

You'd be surprised. have you read some of the treads on here?? Poor Lisa and Brendan, neither have danced AT before, R+V have unfair advantage, come on ppl, get behind Lisa.

It really makes me sick that some ppl do feel that way.

Take a look at this

i suggest a doctor .. its a tv show after all .... i'm sorry but not every dancer is skilled in every possible dance there are many of them .. he doesnt spend the year waiting for strictly he judges in new zealand ..
whatever you say the fact remains vincent has an advantage, plain and similar ... he's the world champion at AT!

OK, you are right. What is Brendan an "expert" in? He and lisa had an unfair advantage that week.

Now get the toys back in the pram!!

your hatred for brendan is bordering on the humorous

How is he manipulating the public? I can' t stand him but for once he has a point.

Actually I am warming to him slightly

Totally agree with the OP, Brendan is an a spoilt little whiny brat, and Lisa is as fake as Katie Price's breasts.

Rachel danced like a pro tonight, her and Vincent to win and I hope Tom and Camilla come in second!
