[Vanessa]

perched for Vanessa's rage when she finds this thread

We all have our favourites.

[Vanessa]

Charlotte Latin is crap, but her ballroom is good.

[BigSister]

Probably Joe or Richard but that's because I don't really know them. Based on dance ability prob Brian

[hijaxers]

Only just saw this but Chizzy she is dreadful , i hope she went this evening, Charlotte may as well give up now as well, she's like a cow on a crutch.

[Denver]

Twatton

[Withano]

Not really watching it, but I've always hated Aston and Anton.

[Nicky91]

my least fave Gemma & Aljaz, Simon & Karen

[Morgan.]

I promise that by the end of the series I will find out the true reason for Nickys irrational hatred for Gemma especially when he likes Brian

[Nicky91]

I promise that by the end of the series I will find out the true reason for Nickys irrational hatred for Gemma especially when he likes Brian

hatred for Gemma umm i can explain


i find her annoying, not likeable at all, and i still find her really wooden, something i keep seeing with her legs i just don't know what i'm seeing


i like Brian, because he has no previous dance experience, he is having a good time, he and Amy are already good friends, i like their T-shirts

50% Welsh, 50% English, 100% Strictly


i have promised RileyH, not to hate or talk nasty about Charlotte any further, so i am keeping myself to that promise, she isn't my cup of tea but she's Riley's fave and Riley is becoming my best friend on here :hee:

[Barry.]

Debbie, drama.

[RileyH]

the fact that 5 people have voted for Charlotte smh

[RileyH]

[chuff me dizzy]

Alexandra or Debbie

[stewartf]

Yep I went with Alexandra too. Never seems very happy.

[GoldHeart]

According to this thread people dislike the talented good dancers hmm okay :conf::joker: .

Simon he has no rhythm.

Simon has comedy factor, but he is so wooden, he's just walking a bit instead of dancing :joker:

Aston is cocky and Isn’t likeable at all.

[GoldHeart]

Aston is cocky and Isn’t likeable at all.

I think you're confusing him with Davood & Joe after his ridiculous 10 :nono:

[Nicky91]

I think you're confusing him with Davood & Joe after his ridiculous 10 :nono:

Joe's 10 was over the top, a Paso Doble is a latin dance so it needs fluidity good latin hips, it ain't a Tango where you need staccato and stiffness

I am a fan of the Paso Doble because it is a sort of showdance, when properly executed it's truly amazing, Joe's wasn't perfect at all

[GoldHeart]

The point making is Aston isn't cocky, he's a nice guy why is he being penalised on here for being good at dancing and having confidence jeez:fist: .

Joe is going to get to big for his boots and delude himself that he's good and both Davood and his partner have been cocky and egotistical from day 1 but I guess that's okay for them :shocked:

Nadiya's choreo is just so awful, i truly miss Oksana who had really lovely choreo's for Judge Rinder


Amy and Dianne can stay for next year, but Nadiya gone please

[Withano]

Agreed.

[stewartf]

I tend to judge on improvement and personality. Debbie, Aston and Alexandra all have previous dance experience and tbh there isn't much room for improvement which doesn't help their cause..though Aston probably hasn't done ballroom before.

Think of the three, Alexandra has been favoured by the judges and that isn't going in her favour with the public. Meanwhile, Debbie in particular, has had unjustly low marks and gets her a bit of sympathy vote. That and the toyboy romance thing.

[smudgie]

Found this thread a bit late in the day, however my opinion hasn't changed since it started.
I like Ruth and Alexandra the least, personality wise that is. Alexandra is an amazing dancer and could well win.
I do find Davood a bit too full of himself at times.
I like Simon but his dancing is pants.

We're all entitled to our opinion but I don't understand why the good dancers are being ripped to shreds on here! :bored:.

This is a dance competition after all so excuse them for doing well jeez :laugh: .
There's nothing wrong with Alexandra's personality she's bubbly and a nice person .
Aston is a nice guy too so I don't know what people's problem is .

In the past in SCD unlikable people have won yet people praise them , so it makes no sense to me .

I found Abbey Clancy a lime light hogger, and Caroline Flack was irritating . And Jay was boring yet all those people won but whatever:conf:

You can dislike whoever you want, but I don't agree with your opinion and I think Davood is the cocky one and Joe is getting more annoying .

Na wrong Aston is

[chuff me dizzy]

Alexandra and Debbie, both arrogant

[rusticgal]

Alexandra....good dancer but she grates on me BIGTIME. She knows she's good but acts all surprised when she gets praise...so frigging annoying.

[stewartf]

Alexandra and Debbie, both arrogant

I have Debbie second on my like ranking. Can't disagree with you though on the arrogant bit, she rather projects a front of superior wisdom due to her age.

[Vanessa]

Simon and Karen. He's crap and she's sooooo annoying! :fist: Also he has sad some things about Aston that have pissed me off.
I like pretty much everyone else. I actually really like Alexandra and i don't think she's arrogant at all. And Gorka is hot :flutter:

Let's see how Aston does first. :laugh:

[GoldHeart]

You can always vote for both:bouncy: .
I'm glad you're voting a lot for Aston though, I can only vote online for free a few times with different email accounts :laugh: .

I'm trying my best to keep him in. But this year competition is fierce. So anything can happen.

Yes the competition is very fierce I just hope Aston gets loads of votes and support until the show ends this year:laugh::cheer2:

My least favourite now is Ruth and her overblown ego

[GoldHeart]

Me too :fc:

[stewartf]

My least favourite now is Ruth and her overblown ego

Probably doesn't help her ego when she keeps escaping the dance offs in spite of being bottom or close to bottom. Breakfast presenters have a strong following and go into Strictly with a viewer voting advantage. The weather presenter, Carol Kirkwood, was a good example of that.

[Livia]

I just can't warm to Alexandra Burke. She seems so false... and there's no way she's never danced before. I liked her before this but she irritates the bejesus out of me now.

I'm also not keen on Aston, because he's obviously had dance training... and of course, Debbie McGee who is trained ballerina and had her own ballet company up till a few years ago. They are not what Strictly is all about for me.

Aston has never been to dance school. He's self tought. He has obviously danced before, but everything he knows he has learnt by himself. I admire that.

[Livia]

Aston has never been to dance school. He's self tought. He has obviously danced before, but everything he knows he has learnt by himself. I admire that.

He went to stage school though, so he at least knows the basics. He was a dancer before he was a singer. "Merrygold stated that he loved to dance and perform and certain TV appearances got him into singing."

You can tell who's had a lesson and who hasn't, and he definitely has. Alexandra Burke is another one... and Debbie McGee, the professional ballerina.

Makes a mockery of it for me.

Edit: NESS! I'M TAKING ALL THIS BACK! I didn't know he was your fave x

[GoldHeart]

Aston has never been to dance school. He's self tought. He has obviously danced before, but everything he knows he has learnt by himself. I admire that.

I'm so sick and tired of people picking on Aston,Alexandra & Debbie .
when to an extent most of the celebs have done some form of dancing in their life due to their careers, it doesn't mean they're trained Latin & ballroom professionals for godsake .

To all the people giving Aston and some of the others a hard time , what exactly do they want on SCD?? just news readers as contestants with 2 left feet to keep it entirely zero experience hahaha, it's never going to be 100% level playing but they're all in the same boat learning dances they've never learnt before.

In a way sports people could be seen to have an advantage due to their naturally athletic strong and disciplined way , but it's not their fault if for e.g a tv presenter isn't as good or focused that's just how it goes:shrug:

So excuse Alexandra ,Aston ,Debbie etc for having natural rhythm It's such a CRIME:joker::hehe: .

I'm sick of people sticking up for them and saying basic dance training doesn't count. When it does. Especially for Debbie. Her dancing is not down to natural rhythm, it's down to years and years of practise at the barre.

In respect of what we want on SCD, we want what it professes to be: a show about people learning to dance.

[Vanessa]

Going to stage school doesn't mean you will be good. Tameka last year went to stage school, but she was quite Frankly crap.
You also need to have natural rhythm and not everyone has that. Debbie is a dancer and shouldn't be on this show. She a professionally already.

I think Aston and Alexandra just have natural rhythm. Debbie is a professional dancer and should not be on the show.

[Vanessa]

Jay McGuinness also had a lot of dancing experience, but he didn't find every dance easy. I remember I he messed up his foxtrot and quicksilver.

[Vanessa]

Johnnie definitely has an advantage, because he's a sportsperson. Similar to Louis Smith.

[Nicky91]

Johnnie definitely has an advantage, because he's a sportsperson. Similar to Louis Smith.

Aston has a bit of Boyband dancing experience, but that's not really ballroom or latin techniques so the only thing they can Judge him on is he was a Judge on got to dance


Mollie same, a girlband dance moves aren't ballroom or latin techniques



and yes Jonnie has got that sportsman mentality very well noticed Nessa ;)

[GoldHeart]

Johnnie definitely has an advantage, because he's a sportsperson. Similar to Louis Smith.

Exactly my point :clap2:. But why should we scrutinize the celebrities when the truth is it's hard to get a celebrity who has never danced a little and they usually have natural discipline & an edge , especially when majority of the celebrities are from the entertainment industry or pop or performing arts so it's hardly they're fault they've been in contact with dancing of a kind it's going to happen .

The people complaining must want a really boring competition with nothing but Simon's & Ruth's :bored: .

They all get same amount of time to learn a new dance that they've never done before.

btw if Simon is training again, the injury isn't that bad i think, or they are slowing things down :eek:

:hee: But it's true .
Some people on here are so hard to please , if they want a competition with zero experience then they must want a very boring show where the contestants are so rubbish and clumsy it's literally judging who is the worst out of a bad bunch .

Where they never improve or learn rhythm and SCD then becomes a bigger joke than it already is .

I prefer a mixture of talents .

[Vanessa]

Aston hasn't been to stage school. I just checked on wiki. It was a comprehensive school. He used to to play football, then started to get interested in singing/dancing.

[Vanessa]

Obviously Aston knows hot to dance. He isn't a beginner. But he has never been to dance or stage school. He has natural rhythm and he used to dance in jls.
Alexandra has been to dance school, but doesn't have the extensive experience that Debbie has. Debbie is a professional ballerina. Like Darcy.

[Vanessa]

:hee: But it's true .

Jay had a lot of dancing experience, but he has also had a lot of likability. And that's important to win.

I didn't know his education background but I knew he WASN'T a trained dancer, but if anything it just proves he's just got natural rhythm :thumbs2::flutter: .

So people should leave gorgeous Aston alone and stop picking on him :nono: , as it's really clutching at straws embarrassment LOL .

I think he's just very talented, same as Alexandra. Debbie is good, because she's a professional ballerina.

[GoldHeart]

I think he's just very talented, same as Alexandra. Debbie is good, because she's a professional ballerina.

I knew Debbie had ballet experience but it doesn't bother me :shrug: , you can tell from her frame and straight legs that she's done ballet but the same with Abbey Clancy I'm sure people said she did ballet.

And the actress from call the midwife did ballet as well ( I forgot her name was it Helen I think). But she didn't always perform well and sometimes looked like she was tip toeing and afraid to let go , so I don't mind that Debbie has done ballet as she's not the first one and she's still had better dances than others so it's not like she's perfect but she is good.

[Amy Jade]

Ashton has likely had more dance training than most, he was in a boyband...

[Vanessa]

Ashton has likely had more dance training than most, he was in a boyband...

not as much as debbie, who had her own ballet company. she has danced ballet for years, until recenty.

[GoldHeart]

Ashton has likely had more dance training than most, he was in a boyband...

Gemma is an actress so she's probably gone to stage school and Molly was in a girl band with plenty of dancing so makes no sense why you're only picking on Aston :nono: . Plus Debbie has had ballet .

[Vanessa]

Obviously his dancing is good, but he's not the only one who has an advantage. Some of the others even have more dancing experience, like Debbie.

I'm not sure what sort of dance training Aston would have gone through. In South Korea, where boy bands are huge, they are put through sweat shops and train dancing hours on end each day. Let's hope Aston isn't cheating and gone down the South Korean route.

Sorry Goldheart just being facetious:blush:. I like Aston, and training or not , even the pros. wouldn't have executed the troll routine that well which was perfect symmetry. And he's a mate of Brian...that's good enough for me.

[GoldHeart]

Sorry Goldheart just been facetious:blush:. I like Aston, and training or not , even the pros. wouldn't have executed the troll routine that well which was perfect symmetry.

Well I'm just tired of people going on about Aston & Alexandra's dance background :bored: .
Every year there's always some kind of debate regarding a celebrity's dance history and it's just repetitive:rolleyes: .

We all know they'll always be a few celebrities who have danced a bit in their careers , yet people continue to moan and cry about it .

But I've noticed people like Aston & Alexandra get more grief over it , when there's at least 3 other celebrities in this series of SCD who's probably got a bit of dance experience ( but none of them are trained professionals and none of them are experts in Latin & ballroom ).
It's natural rhythm !.
