The thing is, the more the media pull her to bits, the more the mentalist Kate fans vote.

NomDePlume · 12/11/2007 09:00

Ola does always have a faced like a slapped arse.

ruty · 12/11/2007 09:01

Tess is alright! She has a good banter with the dancers and slebs backstage and Bruch is a National institution. Won't hear a word said against him even if he does struggle with the autocue.

Vincent IMO is the only man who can look sexy while doing Latin dances. And Flavia is just sex on legs.
John Barrowman made his name in musicals so he is a dancer as well as a singer. It would be a bit of a cheat IMO to have him on.

NomDePlume · 12/11/2007 09:09

Flavia is just gorgeous.

I know, I know. I know JB has a theatre background and so dancing is very much part of his skill-set, but he was just lovely to watch...

I agree that Vincent is the only one that can look sexy doing Latin but I do think Brendan gives it a good go. Darren is too smiley for Latin and his fringe is toooooooo short, sometimes he looks like a bit of a care in the community case, grinning like a loon.

ruty · 12/11/2007 09:13

LOL about Darren. I do think Lilia and he are an odd couple. Not on the dancefloor, but hard to imagine them in bed.

NomDePlume · 12/11/2007 09:16

I try not to

NomDePlume · 12/11/2007 09:18

And when Darren and Lilia are on It Takes Two they are always sat very close, they look very comfortable win each others company. Ola and James don't look half as relaxed on the sofa.

I realise that I'm starting to sound like a bit of a nutter on the subject....

MrsTweedy · 12/11/2007 09:27

John Barrowman did the Dancing on Ice thing and was fan-bloody-tastic but got voted out quite early on (shocking), I think because he wasn't so well-known & liked then.

finknottle · 12/11/2007 09:28

Bruce is so bad but I can tolerate him cos I love the programme.
Tess is... what is she for?
Claudia on the Take Two thing, also, what does she do apart from that? Don't get her either.
Kate G. ? If she has any redeeming features they are not coming over. Tried to watch GMTV once but it gave me a headache. What annoys me most about her is - well everything really.
Thank heaven for John Barrowman - he was great - swoon.
Can't ever remember seething about a TV programme.
NomDePlume, you are right about that fringe

finknottle · 12/11/2007 09:33

Actually they should get John Barrowman to host the show.
He'd flirt with all the men and women.
He'd be great at consoling.
He'd be so charmingly rude to the big-heads.
He'd be great with the judges.

And then he could sing and dance....

NomDePlume · 12/11/2007 09:35

Lol Fink, I think we are thinking with the same brain this morning

Although I do like Claudia. She's someone vaguely famous' daughter isn't she ? I want to say Gloria Hunniford but obv she's not, but it's someone in the Hunniford mould....

Leander · 12/11/2007 09:36

Its eve pollard i think

NomDePlume · 12/11/2007 09:38

John Barrowman would be a fabulous presenter for it.

NomDePlume · 12/11/2007 09:38

Eve Pollard ? Is she a journo ?

ruty · 12/11/2007 09:46

i thought James was gay before i heard about Ola...

ruty · 12/11/2007 09:46

[you know John Barrowman is gay yes?]

multitasker · 12/11/2007 09:55

Can't say I'm surprised with the result - the public seem to be obsessed with humilitating Kate Garroway each week as she staggers around the floor - and if she would only act like a grown woman and stop all the chewing of the lip nonsence she might be a bit more likeable in a less pathetic sort of way.
So sad to see Penny go, she really came across well.

I do wonder about the pro couples who are married - some seem more believable than others. And at last I've found a flaw with the beautiful Flavia - she has a huge overbite!! I think the best pro dance ever was their Arg. tango last series - I think everything else they have done hasn't worked as well - they had a moment during the jive last night when he let go of her hand and it all looked a bit hectic. For Latin dances I love love love Nicole and Matthew - she must be older than 35 if she did Come dancing all those years ago - I did read that somewhere... And for Ballroom - much as it pains me to admit it there is no better than Erin and Anton.

rantinghousewife · 12/11/2007 10:25

Yes, Claudia is Eve Pollards (the journalist) daughter, think Eve did some telly in the 80s, can't remember what, but I do remember her on telly.
I really love Vincent and Flavia's Argentine Tango, it is the most jaw droppingly fantastic dance to watch especially when it is done properly.
I have to admit, I do kind of like Matt Cutler, effeminate he may be but, he has 'something', and loathe Anton/Tony but I do quite like Erin.

mixedmama · 12/11/2007 10:32

I dont like Erin not since she was with Colin jackson... they were very up themselves.

VanillaPumpkin · 12/11/2007 10:37

Bruce is wonderful. He can still move like a youngster. Tess is OK and I love Claudia on It takes 2. I am quite easy going and easily pleased though .
Darren and Lilia are cute together, though his hair looks a bit like a wig some weeks as it is so stuck on the top of his head / big forehead/short fringe etc as you were saying.
Don't really like James and Ola. Not much fun imo, and Ola has the tiniest feet. Love Vincent and Flavia. Their Argentine tango was amazing, though so was Karen and Marks last series. Gave me goosebumps. Vincent and Flavia did mess up in the prof dance this week though didn't they?? Nice to see they are human after all.
I quite fancy Matthew Cutler despite the stupid hair he has. And I want to hate Brendan but boy can he dance.
In fact I am a sucker for any man that can move....there in lies my problem and addicition to this series I think.
Oh and Erin is wonderful. So elegant and ladylike and beautiful when she dances, sits, walks and talks.

rantinghousewife · 12/11/2007 10:40

Yes I wasn't keen on Erin then but, she has grown on me, thought she was very sweet with Willie.

NomDePlume · 12/11/2007 10:47

Nicole has seen too much sun I think. She is very orange and crinkly around the eyes. Those new boobs of hers are awful too, although I quite like her dancing.

Ruty, yes I know JB is gay and happily married to his DP of over 10yrs, but hey-ho.

rantinghousewife · 12/11/2007 10:48

Nicole has new boobs? Didn't know that! I think she's a very good dancer though.

ruty · 12/11/2007 10:53

thought you would NP. i didn't know he was married actually!

How dare anyone criticize V and F! [didn't see the professional dance this week tho]
But the samba they did together a few weeks ago was bloody gorgeous.
