The question is now: who was the bottom of the public vote:
Natalie
Ashley
Abbey
Patrick
Mark
Ben
(Neither Susanna nor Sophie could mathematically be bottom of the public vote, most likely Sophie was top and Susanna nearby).
Just out of interest, where are you getting the 'most likely' that Sophie was top? Neither Susanna nor Sophie has been in the dance off so there's no voter evidence either way. Susanna is ahead of Sophie with the bookies, which would indicate that more of the general public's money is being placed on her.
I'm not saying Sophie is not more popular than Susanna, I'm just curious to know what evidence you have for this assertion that she 'most likely' is.
What a shame. Mark has been in the bottom two three times now it's clear the public don't want him there. Ben was actually the only one I enjoyed tonight.
Agreed. Ben must have screwed up his second dance.:(
Mark should have gone, but it'll hopefully be 4th time lucky next Saturday.
Yep ours were truly dire I I went to school in Yorkshire.
Bottle green skirts and jumpers, white shirts, red and green striped ties and blazers and either red, green or white knee socks.
It makes me shudder even thinking about it.
Mine too. I couldn't wear brown until about 15 years after leaving school :eek:
Shocking outcome - I like Mark but thought he was poor today. Ben's choreography was far more complex.
Maybe he upset Craig tonight?
Its more likely the judges heard Kristina complaining about last weeks marks on ITT. I thought she was pushing her luck a little when I watched her , she was very peeved about them .
Mark's currently tied for dance-off wins with Lisa Snowdon, John Barnes, and Heather Small. One more (lol) and he's got the record.
Thanks hun. The evil part of me is hoping that whoever is with him in the dance off next does mess up badly but in reality I would hate the flack he would get for surviving a fourth and becoming KING of the dance off.
Many thanks for the spoilers. Hope we have a mole for next week.
Not happy with the result and my OH will be even more unhappy so I will leave him in the dark until tomorrow night.
I had navy knickers with a pocket combined with lisle stockings or 3/4 socks. Navy tunic, white blouse and red and blue tie. Just missed the old gym slips though. Will be turning my 3 score years and ten at the end of the year but that is not how my mind thinks. In my mind I am still 20 at the most.:D
Yes that is true, I haven't seen the production myself but I believe a lot of it was literally the dance routine, what I was actually responding to was the posting about all the contestants having previous dance/performance experience, I don't really think a role in one musical includes that, and what about Abbie? She's a model (By the way I haven't voted for either Mark or Abbie this series)
The true irony is that some people call Natalie a ringer because of her dance training, but she has never performed as a professional dancer, but here we have Mark using a dance that he has been paid to perform in a major West End production. It still wasn't very good - I just hope he was better in Hairspray

I had a feeling they might want rid of Ben (and scoring him lowest certainly helped).
If he got to the final and the judges vote no longer counted then there's a chance he'd win (if he took his shirt off)..while Mark isn't a threat. Now they are guaranteed a strong dancer will win.
She was awful :eek: Sophie cannot dance latin. She is declining each week. Brendan also did not help her with that outburst. Like a sulky child. She would have been near top though due to the controversy.
If you read most of the threads in this forum you will see the majority disagreeing with you.
I personally don't rate her dancing very highly nor her performance ability, but I love her personality and I can see how cleverly Brendan is doing the choreo with the beautiful lines Sophie can do and heat up controversy. Well played Brendan.
I've cast one of my votes Mark's way all through this competition - except for tonight. I just felt he seemed really ready to go, and wonder if he's glad to have won the dance off again. I hope he is, because he seems like a lovely bloke. I'd have preferred to see Ben for one more week, though.
It seems totally insane to me that they would get rid of Ben over Mark when Mark is in this consecutive DO. Unbelievable.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what actually happened in the dance off. Sounds like there were some slip-ups. At least that'll make tomorrow's show fairly exciting to watch despite knowing the result!

For three weeks running the bottom two with the judges have also been the two in the dance-off.
Also, Ben joins the category of "sportsmen finishing bottom of the leaderboard with a Charleston and subsequently being eliminated" alongside Tony Jacklin and Peter Shilton. In fact, the only person who's ever come bottom with a Charleston and not been eliminated that week is Ann Widdecombe. There's a whole new statistic for you - which dances are the best and worst for survival in spite of finishing bottom?

Indeed.
Been told Ben and Mark both messed up in dance off .
Kristina was heartbroken tonight
... For the second week running?
As I've said I suspect Mark is useful to keep, especially if he continues to take up a bottom two slot.

mine used go baggy when the elastic gave out, and dad couldn't afford new ones not a good look in PE
It doesn't do to upset the judges
Awww poor Kristina

That's a shame I have a soft spot for Kristina but he was not a contender really & she was being a bit delusional if she thought he was.

Unbelievable really...
Odd.
Have to cheer Sophie for declining to *use* her 3 children in the VT's that SCD loves so much.
And for refusing fake tan.

Not if Mark keeps making it through
