Any suggestions?

Couldn't believe Len gave Ricky G and eight for his Rumba... well actually I could given his history, but still! Six would have been generous!

I so agree with you - looked like a fit of pique to me

I'm with you on that one, katie. Although to give Ricky G the credit, he certainly brings his acting skills to his dancing - he always gives a performance, even if technically it's often weak. That's why Ricky gets away with so much more than Craig, who is still stuck in his shell and seems unable either to dance or perform generally.

Definitely Len's 8 for Ricky and Erin. Absolutely ridiculous - more like 4 or 5.

The 9 for Zoe's Samba and Ali's Paso.

Possibly why they found themselves in the dance-off.

Yes I have to agree with you but I think he was that peeved because of Bruno and Craig that he gave that mark..but he was spot on about there being 5 worse couples who should have been in the dance off..Ricky Groves/Craig Kelly/Chris Hollins/Phil Tuffnell

Zoe and James didn't deserve a 9 but im sad they have gone. I like Ricky G and although it may have not been an 8 imo it certainly wasn't a 4 so Len just tried to balance it out I reckon.

I have to say that yes the mark was silly but it actually made no difference he was still bottom of the board and I really didnt think it deserved less than 20 it wasnt in that league at all......it was a reasonable stab at a hard dance and he was bottom of the board why humiliate him.

My contention is that Cassidy was very overmarked early on -having given her two 8s (ridiculous) everyone else suffered by comparison.

Is this show still worth bothering with ? I'd like to say Yes but I am very disenchanted tonight.

Len was just being silly, he was obviously doing it just to rile Craig who only gave a 4. Daft reason to overmark.

I thought Ricky G was overmarked by Len, but I didn't like their Rumba anyway. I thought it was a bit fast and not very sexy. I don't think that was Ricky's fault tho' I think it was Erins. She was far too smiley and a bit quick. When Flavia or Ola do a Rumba it always seems slower and more sultry.

Definitely Len's 8 for Ricky G. I liked Ricky and it wasn't a total disaster by any means but Len lost it with that score.

I thought the under/overmarking tonight was about the worst I've seen across all series. That might have affected the voting.

of course it depends on your point of view, if your favourite celebrity got through.

9 for that sarmba!!

I do think the QS was a bit overmarked - all 9s would have been right as it was great but not perfect

I thought there was a great deal of overmarking again tonight .

Not sure which was worst !

Ricky's rumba was very weak and definitely not worth 8 especially when I think of other rumbas which were better and yet marked very low .
Craig was better than he has been but not so much he warranted a 7 .
I also thought Tuffers was undermarked , great routine, well danced and easily as good as Natalie and Chris .

And though I like Zoe and James that was a truly dull, dull. dull samba .

Going to be? They've been doing it since series 1 and we're now in the seventh.

The same old pattern every week. The judges have their favourites, which automatically means that everyone on this board hates them. The same thing is happening now with people moaning about Ricky Whittle for no reason other than that he gets a lot of praise and high marks from the judges.

The most ridiculous mark of the night must go to the public vote, in order to keep Craig in the competition. He should have gone weeks ago.
