I agreed with Michael Ball about Mikey last week, he never look comfortable throughout his routine. He was maybe slightly undermarked but any higher and he was equal with Keiron and Sharron who were better.

They have been best buds for years. They never lost touch. They said so on This Morning a few weeks ago.
To the person who said Daniella wasnt flawless. I think she was virtually flawless and was better than Hayley who never looked comfortable during her performance before or after her fall. I think she deserved her marks and was better than Mikey who had a bad week.”

Fair enough - I stand corrected. In that case, I would agree they DO have an advantage. They are still my faves though!
Until last week, mostly the leader board has looked pretty much right to me, but last week I thought....
Mikey and Kieron were lower down than they should have been and Emily was much, much higher than she should have been. The rest were pretty much where I'd have put them.

A tango is a sombre dance, full of passion and drive, often considered 'sexy'. Daniella grinned like she was dancing a cha cha in the streets at a birthday party. For that alone I would've docked at least half a point.
Secondly, her leg work was unstable and she wobbled. Another half point docked. That's matching the points docked for Hayley's fall, and it was a less difficult routine to begin with.
That's without even looking at the rest of her performance.

I think that's a little bit harsh on Emily. She'd improved significantly from the previous week and I'd say was just about worth her score. I don't think she was any worse than Heather and she was better than Hilary.
Agree that Mikey and Kieron should have been a bit higher but if you go with that it's difficult to see how Emily could possibly have been "much, much higher than she should have been". She was only one place off the bottom
! I'd say she was about right in terms of score (just about) and position (certainly - which is most relevant) if we assume that Mikey should have been higher.
I did think she was excellent tonight but it is hard to really warm to her because she is the judges' pet
What were you watching OP?
It was the best performance of the night by a country mile, and arguably the best of the series so far.

This ^^
She was fantastic tonight- head and shoulders above the rest imo I fail to see why she is judges pet just because she is excelling every week and therefore getting good comments!!
I thought Hayley was by far the best tonight. She is teachers pet because she is by far the best skater. If she was overmarked then so were the others as she was so much better than her closest rival.
I like alot of the skaters but nothing compared to Hayley tonight my OH who usually avoids these type of programmes commented on how beautiful the dance was and how much it flowed.

I've been preety much not a fan of Hayley for the last few performances, but I think tonight was extremely well deserved. Lots of content, beautiful smooth skating both with Dan and alone and of course, a very good partnership. I think the logics of the marking work out, I would have probably put it on a par with "Chasing Cars" from series 2 which also scored 26, so the marks work ok for me.
Hayley and Darren were magical tonight.
One of my favourite DOI performances ever. I was truly moved.
The marks were well deserved.
Having been a bit critical of this couple in the past, I am now officially a fan

The last few weeks i have thought she was, but tonight, NO WAY!, she was amazing, and clearly the best. She deserved her score tonight.
IMHO she so deserved every mark she got, the routine was one of the nicest I have ever seen. Miles ahead of the rest tonight.
I guess some people who aren't a fan of hers will always say she is being overmarked and vice versa 
But tonight it was definately a deserved score! It would be a travesty if she was anywhere near the skate off tonight!!

I agree that she is miles better than the rest and the dance was so emotional too. No way was she over marked.
I'm surprised I would ever think this, but I think Emily was a little undermarked tonight. She did the required element very well. Sharron was maybe overmarked? Or am I being cruel? I thought she looked very stiff throughout. And at last - decent marks for Kierron!
I think Danny was under marked and now with Frankie shouting her mouth poor Danny is in danger of being in the SO with probably sharron and Sharron will be saved.
Hayley did indeed deserve every mark she got tonight. The routine she did with Dan was superb. So emotional and romantic. They skated as one. Absolutely gorgeous to watch.

I think yes, those two for the skate-off, but surely the judges can see Danny's a more able skater than Sharron?
