Ali and Brian looked very shaky in the dance-off too. They totally deserve to stay though. I still think they can win the whole thing!
I'm not so sure. Ali has been very hit and miss and as someone else said tonight she is far too ballet - might be a plus with Darcy?

Ricky too has not been realising his potential (tonight excepted) and I think a lot of us viewers are justified in feeling a little impatient with the pair of them.

When you see others, who lack this couple's innate ability, working so damn hard to do their best, it can seem unfair that Ricky and Ali are automatically credited with a place in the final.

Judges have commented in the past that they can't make allowances for injuries and yet they did just that tonight. Ali was given a lifeline, I hope she makes good use of it or she may find herself in exactly the same position sans stubbed toe.

[quote=Paace;36382902]Can't agree with 3 of the judges. If they are judging them just on the dance off Zoe and James were the better couple, much more convincing in their dance.[quote]

Extremely true imo. This bottom 2 was a head and heart issue for the judges I thought. Maybe they all went with their heads in this instance but possibly only one judge was right to do so.

So who is the best overall - ie in both ballroom and latin (despite injuries)? Because it is that celebrity who deserves to win (theoretically)

Jade and Ian (but I'm not a fan, I just think they deserve to win based on what I've seen so far)

I also think that if Tuffers (admit - BIG fan!) bucked his ideas up especially with his latin then he'd be in with a huge shout. Hope he listens to Len.

I'm sorry but who the f**k is voting for Craig!?
Not us for sure. He can stay in Blackpool for all I care. We would like to see people who actually have some idea about dancing in the later rounds. If another of the 'good' dancers goes next week, I won't bother watching any more.

I agree with these two and wouldnt mind seeing them in the final with RW.

Of the other contestants I think none of them are good enough in both disciplines, no matter how wonderful some of them are in one. I have such a soft spot for Ricky Groves though, so now he has the Rhumba out of the way, I will cross my fingers for him and Erin.

Totally agree - only one out of four judges played the game fairly at the dance off (i.e. chose from the dance off performance only) and I feel the repercussions may be that Ali finds herself week after week with the least public support.

The dance-off is a silly idea anyway.
Let's say that in Jade v Jo that Jade had slipped and blah blah blah.

I would still rather Jade have gone through than Jo.

It was better without the dance-off.
