... that was my thought....

Firstly cos Matt has done well in the last few years, and the other couple featured a brand new dancer and she needs some exposure.

Secondly cos it takes away any opportunity for Alesha to be accused of favouritism in her voting....

Yes, Martina's dance off dance was a lot weaker than her first attempt- but really??!!!!!! She was REALLY worse than Rav??

I thought exactly the same Bods - it certainly makes it easier for Alesha and stops any accusations of bias. It was probably coincidence though and not design - surely?

Yes...let's dream up some elaborate conspiracy theory with not a scrap of evidence to back it up.

Get a grip...they were reasonably evenly matched in the DO and it was a split decision.

Indeed.

For chrissakes people - they were both rubbish, OK?

Live with it.

It was a tough call but I was leaning towards saving Rav as well.

Anyone with an IQ bigger than 5 could see that Martina was a MUCH better dancer than Rav... who basically did some onstage walking whilst his pro flagelated around him...Im no conspiracy theorist in general.... but something stinks! There was NO WAY Rav was better than Martina, in ANY of his dances this weekend... even if her dance off dance wasnt as good as the first time...

My very own thoughts bod

Tis a travesty that Joe wotsisname is still in it - and I'm sure Linda would have quite understood if she'd been given her marching orders.

A bad business indeed

Well she was pretty rubbish, wobbling all over the place...

She certainly wasn't good enough for me to care about her going.

It was interesting that the camera went to Alesha at the end she looked quite surprised at Len's decision. Good old Len one for Arlene sock it to Alesha!

The girl knows nothing the girl knows nothing!! Alesha knows nothing Alesha knows nothing!

"Oh Matt my darling matt please don't leave the competition my darling matt".

Neither of them were great but I feel she had potential and he didn't really. Of course Joe should have gone but the same thing happened last year with Gary Rhodes.

It did occur to me that they might have ceased on the opportunity to get Matt out of the running so Alesha isn't seen to biased or it could just be Len being an idiot which is also a possiblity.

Im milking it a bit, but the judges voting tonight just didnt make sense...

..... martina could have been a strong candidate given a bit more time... she has shown good potential... surely anyone could have seen that??

... Joe was never gonna go tonight.... he clearly was the worst, but the worst never go out on the first night...

It was a perfectly fair decision - Martina showed no personality whatsoever

always a shame to see Matt go early but maybe he'll be on ITT more

I thought Rav was better than Martina, and if I'm posting this message I must have at LEAST 6 points to my IQ.

Thanks for patronising, though.

Really? Well I guess that's why she scored so highly then, oh no, wait, she didn't....

Or it could be - and I advance this as a theory only - that Len, being a professional dance judge and stuff, thought that Rav did better than Martina, and decided accordingly.

I know, crazy concept.

It was just that, Len felt that Rav had the edge. Shame that those two were in the bottom, they were far from the worst. Never mind.

Very crazy - you didn't make a single reference to political correctness gone mad, BBC bias, the anti-Alesha conspiracy or Len's totally obvious hate campaigns. For SHAME!

I doubt he voted out Matt just to upset Alesha. If anything Len has done her a favour as it stops people saying how biased alesha is to matt!

Personally, I think Tuffers should have gone - oh, no wait - he hasn't danced yet!!

Never mind - it wont make any difference.

All the tired old conspiracy theories come out AGAIN - still, deja vu isn't what it used to be!!
