because other than shagging famous men, I cannot see why she is a "star"

Do you mean Strictly? YANBU, but then a few of them aren't really "stars" are they? How do you define a star anyway? Are we talking Hollywood A List or breakfast telly?

Sevenfold · 08/10/2011 22:37

yes I do sorry,
but at least all the others have done something. I just don't get why she is on it.

its strictly come dancing but yanbu and she will be gone by tomorrow, she wont have any support anyway and she is trying to blame props and injuries already for her woeful dancing, say bye bye nancy

This happens all the time on this kind of programme. Have you ever watched celebrity big brother? Of course the producers would love to attract A list film stars, singers and sportstars to these programmes, but they are actually quite hard to cast because really famous sucessful celebrities are already working, want more money or just aren't interested.
It's best just to take each 'celebrity' at face value ie see what sort of personality they have and what they bring to the programme [which might not be much in this case].

CaveMum · 08/10/2011 23:05

TBH, I'm not that bothered by the celebs, I watch to see the pros dance.

Nancy is awful though, she appears to have no natural balance. As sorry as I'll be to see Anton go, I hope she leaves soon.

Sevenfold · 08/10/2011 23:17

but I suppose my question should have be, how is she deemed even an x list cleb, she has done nothing

YABU They're running out of candidates, she's trying to raise her profile and - if things run true to form - she'll have a 'Sven and Me' book out for Christmas. 'Celebrity' is in the eye of the beholder

GiganticusBottomus · 09/10/2011 08:07

She seems vile.

SqueezeMeBakingPowder · 09/10/2011 08:21

Yes I can't be doing with her! I love Strictly, and have even decided I now like celebrities after previously DISliking them before because of how they were on Strictly! However, I find Nancy really cold and miserable and she like she hasn't got the point of it at all! I love Anton though, and it'll be a shame he'll have to go because of the cold wet fish that is Nancy!

Yummygummybear · 09/10/2011 11:42

YANBU.

However I've had enough of Anton now too (as sad as I am to say it). He seems to have forgotten to teach women how to dance & instead settles for mad comedy routines. I'm not sure he's putting any real effort in at all.

thatsenough · 09/10/2011 12:05

Quite agree about Nancy - there is nothing to like about her. I do though feel sorry for Anton who is doing the best with what he's been lumbered with.

I've got to say that Jason D is fantastic!

Sevenfold · 09/10/2011 12:41

i have never liked Lulu, but found myself warming to her, but then she is a real cleb. not someone who is just famous because of who they have slept with

Totally agree she is only a famous cos of who she has slept with - how sad is that. Jason D is hot and so is Brendon. Hope Jason D wins.

GypsyMoth · 09/10/2011 12:56

Love Jason too!!

ilovesooty · 09/10/2011 13:00

I actually feel sorry for her. She seems well out of her comfort zone and last night it seemed she was trying, however poor the performance, and the arrogant Du Beke was making a joke out of her. His Latin is dire anyway. The sooner he gets his P45 the better as far as I'm concerned.

Pan · 09/10/2011 13:02

Nancy's main obstacle ( apart from her personality) is that she is the only one there who has never been 'directed' before. Popstars, footballers, actors etc have had to learn their craft under direction and know the value of critical feedback and 'team work'. Nancy has never had to do that in the manner needed for this show.

Her comment about dancing with Anton was truly absurd. She's gotta go.

WhereYouLeftIt · 09/10/2011 13:38

I thought it was interesting that she had a wardrobe malfunction last week, and this week the first thing she said to Brucie was that she had a leg injury all week. Best example of getting your excuses in first I've seen in ages.
