There were 5 coupled worse that Zoe and Ali. Ali was injured and Zoe doing the hardest dance,

What is it with people, I am sick of hearing about Bloody Blackpool. I want to see celebrities performing better and better every week. Most of the botton five were not good at all

Couldn't agree more, about it being a disgrace and about Blackpool. Let's hope Craig Kelly goes at home next week.

Absolute disgrace. I blame the new points system.

I blame the idiot public.

It's only a disgrace if the votes were miscounted.

Otherwise, everything is entirely above board.

The judges have their say and the public are entitled to theirs.

Craig bores me rigid but I respect others for voting for him if he's their 'favourite.'

So angry that Zoe and Ali were in the bottom two

Totally ridiculous. At least the judges agreed.

Thought both Brian and James looked fed up and no wonder! Zoe took it very well.

Absolute travesty. It happens every year, I don't think it's just the new points system.

Everyone's got a right to vote for who they like, but get rid of the talent and you get rid of the potential for great and entertaining routines.

Hardly a disgrace.

It's the way this show goes....frocks and shocks.

However it does convince me even more that they should just scrap the DO...which hasn't made things any better, isn't judged properly and is an anti-climactic bore.

That doesn't make it right.

It's what happens when you let the public have a vote.

Lots go on personality rather than dancing skills.

It was, I think Craig "It's my birthday, get me to Blackpool!" Kelly should've gone, but I also think the dance-off result was wrong.

I may be in the minority, but I enjoyed Zoe's dance more than Ali's.

Actually the only person worse than Zoe tonight was Ricky and of the two he has certainly brought the general audience more joy than Zoe "I'm inhibited" and James.

I think it was a fair result on tonight's performances.

I voted for Ricky and Erin because they entertain me week in week out and tonight wasn't their night but I'm sure they'll be back on form next week and I hope to see them make great improvement. I do think tonight's result was stupid and I do feel sorry for Zoe, but we are entitled to vote for who we want to vote for.

Same here

I was surprised to see Ali and Brian in the dance off....but not Zoe and James.

After his behaviour last year, I think James is a bit of a liability for any celebrity.

And, to be honest, Zoe wasn't very good tonight.

The majority of the British public IMO are idiots

Craig Kelly and Chris Hollins shouldn't still be there

Me too. I find Ali a bit of a wet lettuce.

There are cures for short sightedness but only if you catch it in time. I'd visit an optician asap if I were you.

I thought Ricky and Erin were undermarked on a very difficult dance so wasn't annoyed that they avoided the dance off.

Despite all the furore last year about John S, he didn't survive at the expense of a dancer who was being pitched as having a strong chance of making the final. It's not just tonight either - Zoe has been in the dance off before, as has Jade, yet Craig is still there.

That said, if everybody was so outraged at his success in getting to Blackpool, why has his desperate need to get there been given so much airitme, thus building up the sob story to get the votes.

I'm sure Zoe and James wanted to get to Blackpool. They just didn't rely on how much she really really wanted it to get votes but instead decided to let her dancing speak for her.

Stupid. I don't know who votes for Craig but why on earth waste the money on the phone call?

Smiling through the Paso was very jarring, it was if Brian was there but Ali was stuck in last week's American Smooth.

Most odd.

Well said Sid. If people don't like the format, then don't watch.

I guess being favoured by the judges was their downfall. Zoe has been consistently overmarked in her latin dances IMO...her routines looked too simple compared to what someone like Ali & Natalie are given to perform. And it seems like Ali already has 20 points in the bag before she even dances each week.

What a bad week to have the Samba.

That said, I'm awfully sad about James and Zoe going. I don't agree with Len's 5 couples that were worse, although I do agree that there were 3 that were worse.

The whole Blackpool thing was hyped up beyond belief and I reckon that the celeb's should have been concentrating more on doing a better performance rather than who was going to the tower!!

I can't help but think that Zoe was almost "wasted" as as sure as eggs is eggs, Craig will have enhausted the sympathy vote and be out next week.

Just my opinion - off to defect to ITV and watch the twins win again in X Factor

I voted for Zoe and James so I'm gutted.
