I know what you're saying but to be fair we can't really compare Chris to John S. Bet James is keeping quiet though!!!

1 judges pt plus 3 public = 4
Ali
3 judges plus 2 public = 5
Ricky
2 judges plus 1 public = 3

Chris and Ricky in the dance off - Chris goes despite being the public's favourite!”

Ali topping the judges vote next week won't tell you anything except that she danced better than Chris and Ricky.

Totally agree with you Apricot this is it Chris and Ola and Ali and Brian have marketed themselves to the public whereas Ricky and Natalie have not they have just come out and danced amazingly. Obviously you have to have tee shirts and romances to sell it to the public - a bit sad really.

Yes as you say we know who the best dancer was tonight - well done Ricky and Natalie.

Hi Dee nice to see you.

I agree strangly enough I thought it was about
Dancing as well after tonight I hardly feel like
watching the show.

Yeah, I mentioned on another thread earlier today that it was no surprise that, this year, we hadn't heard his usual war-cries of how "you should vote for the best dancer" and "this is a dancing competition" ....

He has I believe helped Ricky with his dancing so stop having a go at the guy.

I thought exactly the same but, in his defence he was very critical of Chris's training slot this week.

Why ? He's pontificated for years about weaker but more popular dancers being kept in the competition ... albeit usually at his own expense.

Don't get me wrong, I actually like JJ but I think it's very obvious that he's compromising his own firmly-held views on this matter

How many people bitching about Chirs and Ola stoutly defended John Sargent last year? Stand up and be counted or is being a hypocrite OK if its a cuddly old man?
