    Not sure why ambition is seen as a negative thing, it is a competition.

    I'd actually say its because shes probably had as much training as some of the pros, she studied dancing in New York

    Because it cancels out the joy of dance in this instance

    Lottie's best chance of winning is to knock out Ryan in the semi dance off.

    I’ve only watched a couple of episodes but why do so many people dislike Lottie? To me she seems to be the best dancer and doesn’t seem to be unlikeable, what am I missing?

    She trained until she was 18 to be a pro dancer yet claims that's not the case iirc.....

    That would be the final nail. Shes already unpopular and being teachers pet 3 times wont endear her. It'd be Grainne to win then (or Aidan if he repeats tonights level of performance)

    I find her dancing robotic. She's fine as a person. As said earlier I prefer Grainne, Ryan, Aidan and Ray.

    Just opinion.

    The cheek of you! I've no idea how you came to that conclusion. I certainly haven't seen that expressed here.

    But the fact that she is not truly " a non dancer" in comparison to some of the others and has worked closely with Nicky and Jennifer, it might be viewed that she has an advantage over the others..

    Some poster here said they disliked her so much they hoped Fr. Ray would get through! Yeah sure, they are into dancing all right.

    That does put a different slant on things to be fair.

    Its funny. People have been complaining about Fr Ray staying in with shouts that its a dance competition not a personality one. So he should be long gone.

    But then you have Lottie, who is a fantastic dancer. Brings it every single week and people dont want her to win.

    Yep you are and I will defend myself if I feel you are wrong . All by myself I came to the conclusion that I don’t want Lottie to win . She might be a nice girl but she is dance trained and in my eyes shows no joy or emotion in her dances . She lacks something and the dances leave me cold. I don’t belong to a pack I just feel that way

    Because she has an advantage over others. She is undoubtedly a fantastic dancer and works hard each week on the dances but her training gives her an edge..

    She is a better dancer and she works hard every week. If its a dance show, thats exactly what is expected. Shes not doing anything wrong.

    Noone said she is. It's just more difficult to invest in her when she is a trained dancer and a friend of the 2 presenters. I personally like Grainne and Aidan because they have no dance background and give excellent performances every week..

    That's fine. But then that its not a dance show. Its a personality show.

    In the same way people were voting for Fr Ray staying in because they liked him personally, Lottie is losing put because people don'tlike her. Its all external to the dancing and the show.

    People are saying she's professionally trained. I read that article that was posted earlier in the thread. She had to give up dancing in 6th year because of an injury. Sixth year she would have been 17/18? 16 years ago? Its very harsh to be using that as an excuse for her not to win.

    Its very unfortunate that she had to give it up but I can only imagine that doing DWTS is an ultimate dream come true for her. Good luck to her with it.

    Thats fine , she is a good dancer but my votes go to Aidan and Grainne who are improving and learning . If it was only a dance show we would have 10 pros but its a show where non dancers learn and improve and in the end wow us

    And yet she is not top of the pool. Ryan is outscoring her and noone is critical of him.

    Which is fine. But it makes it a show about personality so what was the problem with Fr Ray staying?

    No issue with his personality. Actually got a bit emosh last night when he gave his little speech at the end when he was voted off. He seemed to have had a ball

    Lottie just on a personality level is not for me. I dont care if shes an amazing dancer or has two left feet
    And its a popularity contest after all i guess

    If you trained as a boxer from the age of 12 to 18 and got injured, and that injury stopped you going on to train at it full-time in a different country. You'd likely not be eligible to enter a white collar boxing competition as most who do have had no prior boxing experience.

    You can't dismiss her years of dancing IMO.

    There's some bullsh1t with Lottie also.......

    Her sister says this....
    https://evoke.ie/2020/01/28/showbiz/lottie-ryan-not-trained-dancer-bonnie
    "She is not a trained dancer. I don’t know where all of this came from, like, 99% of Ireland did stage school growing up.’

    ‘Even at that, it was hip hop like when we were growing up so no partner work, no ballroom dance – she’s never trained in anything like that"

    But years ago...
    Indo article from 10 years ago... " Since the age of six she had trained as a dancer with the intention of going professional.

    "That was what I was supposed to do," she says. "I wanted to professionally dance. I spent years doing everything, five, six days a week. I did everything, bar Irish dancing -- ballet, contemporary, jazz. I focused on hip hop, because I knew I wanted to do commercial dancing," she reflects, revealing her natural practicality.

    Then, in sixth year, her lifelong dream was brought to an abrupt halt. "There were a couple of incidents; the student visa for America was turning out to be a bit of a nightmare, I got a bad injury in my hip. I ended up going, 'Crap, better fill out the CAO actually seriously,'" she recalls."
