Did anyone else notice what she said?

Len had just given the comment that Ricky had good floorcraft. The couples clapped moderately and Natalie looked to her left, down the line of couples and said 'Yeah, good floorcraft' and smirked. Fair enough she's competitive but it really jarred.

I've met loads of aussies on holidays etc and as far as I know they're really great people - Natalie seems the exception. I'm really competitive but would never do something so crass and childish.

Is that a common term in the dance world ?

Yes, they explained it on ITT - it's the skill of navigating a bustling dancefloor without bumping into other couples etc.

I think she was laughing because Len said Ricky had good floorcraft yet he bashed into Brian.

I don't like her but she was just laughing at the contradiction I think.

Aussies are notorious overly competitive 'sports facists'. It comes with having very little culture or history

Ali & Brian almost barged her into the front row, I think she's allowed to comment on the judges blatantly ignoring Ali & Brian's death wish towards the end of the routine.

Exactly what I thought. Len's statement of good floorcraft was just ludicrous.

Fail play to her. I don't think aussies like to be handed things on a plate.
Len looked silly on DWTS this year as well.

You know, I sometimes think I'm watching a completely different programme to some people - or am I just paying attention to what's actually happening, rather than looking for things I hope I'll find, to back up ideas I'd like to be true about the people I don't like?

On the 43rd minute of the show, Ricky W blinked twice. Does anyone know what this meant?

I couldn't say - but I swear I saw Chris thumb his nose at James - and after seeing him and Ola snogging on Friday night we all know what that means! *nods knowingly*

I like Ali and Brian more than Ricky and Natalie, but I've got to agree with this.

Morse code.

I think it came out as "P"

So did I. Ricky took the blame for it I think, but it looked like Brian bashing into him to me.

This was highlighted this morning on BBC Breakfast, where footage was replayed, and we very clearly saw (no imagination required! ) Ali and Brian crash into first Laila and Anton, then Ricky and Natalie.

Previously, we were told that couples should avoid contact and would be penalised for collisions. Karen Hardy confirmed this today.

And yet Ali and Brian were awarded a ten for their performance.

Agree wholeheartedly.

Brian as a pro should have been able to avoid this situation - everyone else seemed to - I thought his behaviour appalling.

Thankfully Ricky was a gentleman - its a shame Brian could not be the same.

Ah, but what are the judges marking? Are they marking them as a couple in which case, yes, Brian's careless driving should have got them a point knocked off, or are they marking Ali who danced beautifully and isn't responsible for her partner's floorcraft as her job is to follow which she did?

We were told clearly by Flavia last week and by Karen today that points should (and would) be deducted for collisions. Your suggestion is a nice means of getting Ali off the hook. But she wasn't dancing alone - and the leader boards feature both couples' names - so that argument looks rather flimsy ...
