I think the order of leaderboard wasn't far out - I'd have swapped Zoe & James with Ali Brian, that's all.

But as far as the marks were concerned -

OVERSCORED

Zoe, Ricky W, Phil, Ricky G, Joe, Jo, Lynda, Craig

UNDERSCORED

Jade, Chris

ABOUT RIGHT SCORED

Ali, Laila, Natalie

On the thread I started here today following the judges scores week by week, Len, Bruno and Alesha are all giving too high marks every week. I think Craig has a more recognisable scoring system than the other judges and that he really does score the couples on the night, by comparing their performances and marking across a wide range of paddles. For me it seems the other three judges intend to do that, but because they use fewer paddles they end up giving higher scores more often.

I was really furious that Len gave Chris a 6 and then handed out 7s to the likes of Lynda. Chris and Ola were the biggest undermarking casualties of the night, though I suspect this wouldn't have been the case if they'd gone later in the order.

Perhaps it's just cos I find the foxtrot a crashing bore, but I couldn't see what was 'all that' about Laila and Anton, though I'm willing to concede the technicians are right about it.

I thought Ali and Brian would've been due the top score of the series if there'd been a bit more personality in it...but then I always knew she'd be this series' Rachel Stevens

Chris and Jade were underscored I thought.
Both of those performances had real personality and energy but the judges weren't impressed! I was

The performance was great but the dancing wasn't. I was expecting them to be much better so I was disappointed.
