Judges working on the public!
How desperate are the Judges & Presenters trying to get Ricky & Ali in the final.
I realise they are doing well, just think the show are trying to hard to get their fav's through. |

I thought Len had a point.
It's one thing when the judges artificially hype one celebrity (like they did with Lisa Snowdon for example), but their praise for Ricky tonight and their plea to vote for him were justified. I'm supporting the underdog, but I'd feel guilty for voting for Chris if I didn't throw a vote Ricky's way too. So I have

I voted for both Ali and Ricky. I was up for giving a vote to anybody tonight but Ali's American Smooth and Ricky's Argentine Tango were fabulous. Really hope Justice is seen tonight.

I thought Ali's AT was very poor. It had little content and was floppy and shaky and was the worst AT for me by some distance. I also thought she was literally wobbling in the AS and in places her timing was about half a beat behind Brian. Good but too many obvious flaws for that ridiculous score. Chris's rhumba showed up his lack of technique but his AT seemed to me to have far more content than Ali's and probably more than Ricky's as well. For me it was the most satisfying choreography and had the best feel to it. His execution was better than Ali's too. For me it was touch and go whether Chris should have had second with the judges. His rhumba perhaps earned a few points more than I expected, but for me Ali was five to ten points over marked with the AS and probably another five to eight with the AT. |

I thought Ricky was a deserving leader with the judges. I was a little puzzled that the lifts he did at the beginning and end of his waltz passed without comment as I didn't think they were allowed, and I also thought his posture was a bit limp in his AT and for me it didn't spark at all. Still the best in both AT and chosen dance though.

I thought Ali's AT was weak; she looked as if she had lost her balance on a few occasions and it was awkward and I felt uncomfortable watching it .

To be fair to the judges I think they're just trying to get the better dancers through...Which is part of the reason they're there in the first place, isn't it?

Seriously? Both Ali's dances were better than Chris's in my opinion. Far more content and better executed sans gurn.
Her American Smooth blew Chris's Rumba out of the water though. Judges went so over the top with the campaigning tonight. I can't argue with their point though. |

Ricky vs Ali final, PLEASE.
I know people think it'l be dull but I honestly don't think so, there will be two fantastic dancers dancing their hearts out for the trophy. Perfect 10's all round. I just hope the Brittish public feel the same way I do! |

What reallu bugged me about the marking of the Smooth was her gapping fingers - Chris is pulled up (rightly) for it, so wasn't wasn't Ali, and marked accordingly for it? |

She is a better dancer when it comes to the ball room, no doubt whatsoever, but she cannot pull off these dances. Ricky on the other hand can, and Chris abandons himself to the dance. I'm not against Ali, but the judges wear rose tinted glasses when it comes to Ali. |

I'm sorry it wasn't. I didn't particularly enjoy her AT. She was very nervous, and there didn't seem to be any real chemistry and intricate leg movements.

In her AT tonight they brought up that she lets her nerves show and that she has to let them go and relax.Her nerves are her downfall and its a shame that they hold her back. |

Oh well, let's agree to differ. Scoreboard in the right order anyway.
![]() ![]() . To be fair, I enjoyed the dances tonight. I didn't dislike any of these three couples anyway (shame they can't all go throught the final). That would make my night.
