Two 9's from Alesha and Bruno for a guy that forget most of his steps - he even admitted it! Talk about the judges showing their favouritism! Outrageous stuff. :rolleyes:

    I don't watch Strictly much but I agree and thought scoring the routine two 9s was stupid as most of it was a complete mess! The marking system needs sorting out imo....

    Totally agree - I thought those two 9's were outrageous considering the performance.

    Mainly agree but I've never seen any marking quite as ridiculous as Len's marking of Ann - 7 one week??

    Bruno needs to come off the vodka drip. He's barely given out anything lower than an eight (La Widd apart) since about week 3.

    Always thought he was overrated anyway. Its an insult to the better dancers - Kara and Matt - who usually get lower marks

    At least Ann was still bottom. This will put Scott higher on the leaderboard to the detriment of Matt and Kara in particular.

    I agree two 9's is blatant favouritism and I'm furious that this fix has put them a point above Patsy so unfair.

    33 for Matt, 31 for Scott. I like Scott, but... that's just ridiculous on tonight's performances.

    It isn't Ann Widdicombe that is threatening the credibility of this show. It's the ridiculous over-marking of Scott.

    2 Nines?????

    I feel sorry for Matt tonight, and to be honest, Scott looked embarrassed by it all.

    Not really surprised Matt and Aliona looked a bit annoyed and confused to be honest. Some of Scott's routine reminded me of Fiona Phillips in terms of having me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next mistake. It was SUCH a shambles! A 6 at most!!!

    Have never been as nervous for any female pro as I was for Natalie when I seen them enterin that last lift.

    Alesha is REDUNDANT on that panel an what's worse, she seems to have affected Bruno too.

    C'mon!!!

    It's a complete joke, if anyone else made such mistakes as he did, they would get no more than a 7. They clearly have their favs.

    Scott is one of my favourites but he definitely gets over-marked. tonight was ridiculous - Matt danced much better and deserved higher marks than Scott. I try and stick up for Alesha but an 8 for matt and a 9 for Scott is a total joke!

    I remember the days when getting a nine was amazing and a ten was rarer than hens teeth, now they're handed out like sweeties. Deserved or not.

    It is daft the way that Kara and Matt have to do a perfect dance to get a 9, whereas others can get them when their routines are littered with mistakes. Patsy is guilty of some of the most criminal overmarking. Pamela really stumbled through that charleston - perhaps James needs to realise the capabilities of a 61 year old. As good as she is, she looked to be struggling

    WTF. Lunacy!

    Matt was head and shoulders above the rest tonight, and I don't even rate him that highly!

    I totally agree! I wanted to smash my TV in:o On another point I notice in the marking that after Len had criticised Matt for forgetting his steps Matt actually said 'but I carried on like Scott'. Good for him, it must really annoy the other dancers in the competition. Get Scott out! I hope the public turn against them for that blatant favourtism :mad:

    7 would have been more appropriate, in my opinion.

    i can't believe he got a nine for not even remembering the steps.

    will he get a ten for being awake and finishing the dance next week?
