That's a bummer! Cathy didn't deserve to be the first to go.

The Giant looked shocked to be going through to next week, as so he should!

freshpopcorn · 23-01-2022 9:29pm

You'd sort of forget her without meaning to sound mean!

Maryanne40 · 23-01-2022 9:29pm

I hate to say it but it's the middle aged woman thing......nobody likes us :(

Still stihl waters 3 · 23-01-2022 9:29pm

I found cathy very unlikeable

Me too . He toned down and it likable now

Maryanne40 · 23-01-2022 9:29pm

Grainne was safer with John, who is well known. Poor Maurizio only new....

BabysCoffee · 23-01-2022 9:30pm

Well done to Lottie for replacing Jennifer, she's a great orator

Icsics · 23-01-2022 9:31pm

I’d love to see the back of Missy….so full of herself for no apparent reason

Larbre34 · 23-01-2022 9:31pm

It just shows you, young people of the social media generation vote, especially girls.

Cathy Kelly just isn't on that radar. Bad luck for her, she deserved another crack.

BabysCoffee · 23-01-2022 9:32pm

I'm sorry for Cathy and Maurizo. I don't think they deserved to be first to go.

Man Vs ManUre · 23-01-2022 9:33pm

I’d completely forgotten about Cathy being there. Had I remember I definitely would have predicted her to get the boot first.

banoffe2 · 23-01-2022 9:33pm

Nina is sound out, she has a great turn of foot on the dancefloor, great stayer and no doubt she will be well able to go the distance all the way to the winners enclosure😀😀

I don't think they watch RTE or care about this at all! I think most voters are middle aged women.

Man Vs ManUre · 23-01-2022 9:36pm

Nina should have to perform dressage some week.

Hippodrome Song Owl · 23-01-2022 9:40pm

I think Nina is the surprise star turn. I'm really looking forward to seeing how she develops. She seems like someone who will give anything she does her all so great potential to continue improving from an already high base. And she seems a lovely lady!

I feel sorry for Cathy and she was one I was interested in seeing initially, but she was among the worst so probably fair enough really.

Why do you feel the need to make such comments about women ?

Cathy was far from the worst. She had great timing I thought, definitely had more to give. In fact I preferred her to Grainne.

Nina gets my backing to win, she's an incredibly graceful dancer. While Missy is confident and young I wouldn't hold that against her.... she's a young girl and a great dancer... no need for people to be calling her full of herself. (Begrudgery?) I also love Nicholas Roche, lovely sexy eyes!

I'm calling a female winner again this year (but not Grainne!)

pjohnson · 23-01-2022 10:00pm

Who on earth was voting for the Giant?

Hes not even so bad that it ends up good or entertaining. Just plain bad.

Rfrip · 23-01-2022 10:07pm

Was watching on catch up so I could forward all lotties bits!!!

ah I am really enjoying this! It’s just so pure or something!

and of course my Nicolas did me proud 😍

Well then, despite not deserving the total lack of support, Cathy's own demographic did not come out for her. Strange considering they hoover up her novels...

So I think you're wrong.

JP Liz V1 · 23-01-2022 10:28pm

There is tension between Jordan and Salome

Agreed, it's quite obvious. They don't seem to get on.

Can't stand her. I nearly puked when I turned it on and there she was.

Still living off her Dad's brilliance.

The other one (Can't remember her name) is equally talentless though.

As a total newbie to this show, i thought it was grossly unfair to Cathy Kelly.

That lumbering giant or the other guy with his pizza thing should have gone.

Fair enough. But the middle aged women I know who are avid watchers and voters didn't particularly like her despite being avid readers. As an almost middle aged woman myself, although not a reader of Cathy Kelly, I will be voting for Nicolas if I get to watch live which isn't often. My many middle aged cousins and friends who lap up the Cathy Kelly novels and always vote, are voting for Ellen, Nina and Aongus.

Oh really, was there something on the after show with James Patrice?

DebDynamite · 23-01-2022 10:53pm

My mother sent a few votes Nicholas’ way too. I think he’ll be getting a lot of female support!

Hippodrome Song Owl · 23-01-2022 10:59pm

I see the consensus on twitter too is that there is tension between them (Salome and Jordan) but I can't say I noticed it myself. I'll have to watch it back!

Pussyhands · 23-01-2022 11:46pm

Delighted to see Cathy Kelly gone. Didn't know who she was pre show but she came across as completely up her own hole. The facial expressions during the dances were like she thought she was sh1t hot.

Then things like "Oh i've always wanted to learn the samba"..."If I didn't do the show I would have taken a tango class"

Really came across as a posh thing.

Pussyhands · 23-01-2022 11:48pm

Anyone hear the comment Loraine made to Ellen after her performance? "Usually it's the arms and legs that are not there, but tonight your arms and legs were all there!"

🤔

ButtersSuki · 24-01-2022 9:45am

People saying Cathy wasn’t the worst dancer and didn’t deserve to go need to realise this is not a dance competition, but essentially a popularity contest - let’s not forget Aidan O’Mahony won season 1 and he wasn’t even in the Top 4 best dancers that year.

The Love Island contestant is going to get votes simply because he was on Love Island. The age cohort that vote for him likely wouldn’t even know who Cathy is - she wouldn’t be on their radar. I know this will be hard for people to believe (lol) but people vote for “eye candy” in these competitions……some women and some men would rather look at Love Island dude v Cathy and that’s the difference. I’m not saying it’s right, but don’t kid yourself thinking this is about dance ability.

Lastly, those of you saying “Loddie” was fantastic must have been watching a different show to me……
