disgrace. Can't believe I'm going to have to watch gormless Craig slouch woodenly round the floor at Blackpool with a face like a stunned mullett instead of the delightful Zoe.

I don't think the poor person actually meant it! DS is getting overrun by literal-minded posters!
How the bleeding heck is it JAMES'S fault??? It's the voting public's fault for falling for sob stories and not voting for the best dancers.

Totally agree with you.
All those who voted just to keep their favourite professional in, with no regard for how badly the celeb danced, should be ashamed.
There said it. I'll get flamed for it, but I'm tired of sheep like voting.
We lost a good dancer tonight.
Len and the other whiners should appreciate that it is a popularity/dance contest. We are at the stage in the competition were the crap dancers have all left, Mutton Jo was the last one, and now you are going to see better dancers go.

I know!! She just grabbed onto him near the end there and didn't let go. They're adorable...

Chris Parker who has actually left us with some classic non-dance moments. SCD is a mix of good and bad dancing - both make it the programme it is.

I know, but it still baffles me, the stupidity of it all.

It was much later than series 2. More like 4/5 i think.

But that's exactly what Tess tells the public to do - vote for your favourites, to stop them being sent home.
See now this talk of Golden Girls reminds me of the Gabby/Penny farce....the only reason Penny got through that night was cos Rod was booked on It Takes Two the following week, if she got kicked off, he was never gonna turn up!
Ali was worse tonight but despite the judges protestations, they never judge it on the performance they've just seen!

So pleased that Ali and Brian survived. Phew!!
Thought both Zoe and James took it so so well, it really cannot have been easy to go out when there are worse dancers who have gone through. Well done James for saying what you said about Zoe and the glitterball ..... that was lovely of him.

What a ridiculous result!!!
Who on earth is voting for Craig? I could understand if he was funny or charming but he seems so bored on the dancefloor and quite arrogant off it.
Is this the third time James has gone out on a Samba? I'm not surprised they were there, it was a terrible routine and Zoe looked so uncomfortable with it and the judges overmarking made it inevitable really. Thought Ali could be in danger too as there Paso was disappointing but I can't believe it was both of them.
I did think with the slight improvement from Craig people would see sense and let him go out on a good dance. Now he gets to dance badly at Blackpool. Lucky him, shame for us.

I don;t think people vote for fave pros. They vote for fave celebs - be they good or average or poor dancers.
Also, I'm sorry but Zoe may have technically danced OK tonight but the routine was boring and Ali's was either not very interestng or ruined by injury. Whatever, it was very forgettable. Thats why they ended up in bottom two.

My head might be better by then I have been banging it on my desk.
I am not a James fan in the least but he did NOT deserve to be in the bottom two and neither did Laila.
No use Len moaning at better dancers being in the dance-off after giving undeserved 8s to poorer ones...!

Well that would be me, and no I dont feel ashamed actually.
I do feel sorry that Zoe and James have gone as they were favourites of mine too, but I would rather watch Flavia dance on the show than them, so voted for her.
We did lose a good dancer tonight, but it happens every year this isn't the first.

Seriously?
If I'm honest (although I haven't watched it for 2 weeks 
) I don't think Craig, Tuffers, Ricky G or Chris can dance really and Zoe and Laila can't dance Latin. I think the only ones who can dance are Ricky, Jade and Ali and I still think that it's only Jade of those three that has any personality.

The British always like the underdog and Craig does try. I expect his run will end next week otherwise he will become like John Sargeant.

You'll be watching it at BBC4 at 11 o'clock on a Tuesday night then?

So you'd be happy to see Flavia in the final with craig?
Ali's dress and make-up contributed to her being in the bottom 2 .... both were not flattering.
The costumes don't have much resemblance to the design drawings we see on ITT.
Hillary ?? the fashion critic on ITT was saying Ali's dress was beautiful. Well if she's a fashion critic I'm Ginger Rogers.
