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

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

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

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.

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.

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! .

This is a dance competition after all so excuse them for doing well jeez .
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

...so why aren't I allowed to dislike Aston for being a ****?

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.

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! 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

I agree.
Maybe you can swing some votes Alexandra's way

Let's see how Aston does first.

[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.

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

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.
