I'm starting to notice on here that most people think Craig should go next week as he is not as good as the rest of the dancers

If he gets through next week would you all therefore prefer if he was forced to leave the way JS was last year

Should we just do away with the public vote and eliminate the dancers every week by the judges

I thought this show was about being allowed your favourites as well as being a good dancer.

He is not the best dancer but the public clearly love him

Everyone on here seems to want Craig to go,seems to think he is unworthy of still being in SCD

This all feel like de ja vu from last year.

I got to say its becoming a bit of a witch hunt now

Sorry but I felt it was a new topic worthy of a new thread and I did promise myself I wouldn't start a new thread until someone else had first

Anyway will you comment on the thread.Do you think he should go?

I thought the promise was NOT to start another Craig thread....?

This seems much like all the rest... and will certainly (by page 2) have revolved into a Craig to Blackpool thread.....

I think we just need to give the Guy a break and let the public decide. I think to make him quit now would be totally unfair

Same ole, same ole... this FM, under another username, did the same persistently on DS:BB this summer past. All in the name of attention-seeking.

I never wanted JS to quit. I wanted him to leave SCD as all the other rubbish dancer have: by being voted off.
Chris Parker & Julian Clarey both made it to the final without being good dancers but they didn't win, because they didn't get enough votes in the end.
However in series 3, 4 & 5 there were only 'good' celebs in the final.
Last year JS had the benefit of such an anti-judges vote that he could have won it on that, but I doubt it.
This year I hope Craig leaves via the same route as all the others: by being voted off.

Until now, I haven't had a problem with Craig still being there (and yes I still think he's a rubbish dancer) simply because there were other dancers as bad or worse still in the competition. BUT next saturday that is no longer the case and that is why I feel he should be going home, because IMO he's the worst dancer left. BUT in the end it's the GBP who decide and if there are still people who vote for him then fair enough. I won't like it, but I'm not going to insist on him quiting. In the end I'm sure sanity will prevail (as it has done in the past) and people will start voting for the best dancer and not on sympathy.

There, couldn't make it more comprehensive if I tried.

The suggestion is absurd. Craig has only been the worst dancer left (judging on past performances) for 3 days.
He should have been in the dance-off on Saturday, but he was still better than Jo and would therefore (rightly) still be in the competition. At least wait for some kind of apparent "injustice" before suggesting he should quit.

Great post, cassie - and said exactly what I feel on the whole thing, too - thank you x

As I said in Boddism's thread of the same theme () if Craig shows improvement this week and some of the other "no-chancers" don't, then I dont see why anyone should be annoyed if he goes through again.

Sure there may be celebs that are better than him, but they are average at best and hardly coming on leaps and bounds.

I agree with this, and like someone else said he's only been the worst dancer for three days. I'm not sure he will improve though, but I hope that he does.

I really feel people are starting to go a bit overboard, the knives are coming and I suspect in many cases that's because a few are terrified he'll be kept and their favourite will be in jeapoardy. I can understand that, but its all getting a bit nasty and personal from a few of the posters tbh. He's a nice enough guy and this show has always had pap dancers.

It was quite right that Jo went before Craig, but he is in the danger zone now.

I don't think anyone (apart from the OP) is suggesting that Craig should quit, either now or next week.
It is quite differnt from the JS situation, in that pretty good dancers were eliminated before JS.
The order of leaving so far has been a fair representation of ability.

If there is any anti-craig feeling on here, I'm afraid a lot of it is down to the OP's obsession... Sorry!

Without wishing to get controversial, there is a certain irony in someone with 8000+ posts accusing someone else of attention seeking!

Who posts here not seeking attention via a response?

Tbf Deerd did join in 2002 so 8000+ posts isn`t exactly a huge amount !

Unlike some

I would love it if Craig quit exactly like John Sergeant - ie holding a self-aggrandising press-conference where he cod-nobly tells the world's gathered media (or in Craig Kelly's case, two newspaper journalists and a representitive from Dinosaur Magazine) that he is doing the better thing by leaving, because if he stayed in he'd probably win, whilst Flavia artfully dabs away tears like Eva Peron.

God knows the show could do with some comedy this year.

What, when he discovers he has to do two dances in one week (group dance and own dance) and isn't fit enough to cope, plus has a lucrative tour coming up that he'll miss if he has to stay so decides to quit and blame it on outside factors

If you remember, the OP also has bets on Chris and Ali, so when Craig goes out the endless Craig threads will only be replaced by endless threads about those two. Just let it ride.

Yes as I too have said that I don't believe any better dancers (apart possibly Martina) have actually gone home before him

I just think every year on SCD we get the same old argument that good dancers are going home at the expense of bad dancers

Well when you have a scoring system as we do I'm afraid thats the nature of the show.If you don't like that fact then I guess you should watch anothr show that awards points purely on dancing ability

I just feel that there seems to be an anti Craig feeling (actually it is probably not anti Craig ,more hes not worthy to still be here) developing on here and that reminds so much of JS from last year
