To think Tess and Claudia need to shoot their stylist

[Bearbehind]

Really?

Claudia looks like she's wearing a sun dress and Tess is giving Simon Cowell a run for his money in the high waisted stakes.

another sneering bully has just muscled in i see.

i truly hope that this is not the total sum of your lives.

is that an agent code? that only certain people know. How ridiculous.

'Do you actually have a life rather than sneering?'

Says the weirdo whose written three rambling posts in a row.........

'who's'

'Tsk' to me. Even 'pendants' get it wrong sometimes!

Ooh, is this what the initials GF were made for?

Starts sewing it on decrepit brownie guide dress. Smiles.

I think I've seen Tess wear an "OKAY" Dress about twice this series, the rest have been minging.

i think if you comment about how someone looks, you should also post a picture of yourself so everyone can comment about you

I love SCD and I love Claudia (CBA about Tess) and I despair of Claudia's clothes, makeup and hair. Whilst I get that she has a signature long fringe/pale lips look which she obviously loves, couldn't they get her dresses that fit her?The dresses she wear swamp her, like a little girl wearing mummy's posh frocks.
The stylists can do it - Zoe Ball has her designated SCD look and it's fab. Why are Claudia and Tess so poorly served?

Yes both are professionals but in tv world they are also objects used to sell the show they are on; they are representatives it is sad then when the stylists let them down.

Yanbu. I can't bring myself to like Claudia's tv personality on anything I've seen her on. I'm sure she wouldn't care what I think and I'm sure she's perfectly nice in rl but she just really irritates me. I love strictly otherwise!

There are always lots of rumours that Tess isn't massively liked on SCD - I think she has really upset the stylists.

She is tall, slim and very attractive and yet they dress her so badly.

And that isn't slagging off her appearance merely the dresses she is presumably told to wear.

I love Claudia - I get the impression that she styles herself, maybe she doesn't listen to what the stylists suggest as she has a strong sense of her own style? I love the slightly scruffy goth look she has going on - I think it suits her.
Agree that Zoe always looks amazing.
Tess less so.

I'm less bothered about their frocks than Tess's presenting techniques.

'Pawing the celebs' does not equal 'developing a rapport'

Arguing with the judges is pointless if you have no dance knowledge - At least Brucie had decades of experience

Constantly pointing out how nervous Jay was was just rude.

I'd like to see Zoe Ball and Claudia presenting next year.

Me too Imust. Tess can do Loose Women or something.

In the spirit of Craig Revel Horwood looking for something positive to say about Katie D - Tess did very well coping with Brucie and keeping him staggering on a few more seasons. I think she's a natural 'glamorous assistant' rather than the boss.

Gosh!

Didn't expect this thread to turn like it did.......

I am not sure how Tess landed the top job on SCD. What did she present before?

Does anyone remember a show on BBC 2 that Claudia used to present where two people stayed in opposite rooms and dated. If they liked each other they would leave together. I really loved it. It was Claudia who presented it wasn't it?

Blimey, what happened here overnight..

Sparkers were you called out for a fight?

How fucking bizarre?

Anyway I'd love to see Zoe present the main show but I do like her on the spin off on bbc2.

I thought it might have all been a dream Still but apparently not.

sparkling her wikipedia entry says she presented a handful of shows like 'Find me a Model' and 'Smash Hits TV.' She's been on Strictly since the start so probably is untouchable.

Some weird responses in this thread

Anyway, Tess has grown on me this series, weirdly. The only thing that annoys me about Winkleman is her fringe. It really irritates me to watch her blinking through it, like it's just resting on her eyelashes. Get it cut, woman!

And Vernon Kaye would the kiss of death for Strictly. Everything he presents gets cancelled.

I didn't think she had done anything big before SCD Imust. I wonder who else was on the shortlist.

I do think SCD is due an overhaul completely. I would like to watch without recording it first to whizz through all the waffle and cringey presenting.

Definitely! Fewer 'joke' VTs would be a start. It's as if they're worried about showing too much dancing in a show about ..er...dancing.
