Next week Ann and Gavin at the bottom on the judge's scores, but Michelle and Gavin in the bottom two overall, a good bet, but Craig seems to want Ann in danger of being voted off.
Craig wants Ann out
1 of 8
Craig speaks sense and doesnt hide behind the production clap trap .
I want her out now too ,I am bored of her .

Anne for the final! Craig is a knob. If he keeps moaning, the great british public will keep her in....Hoorah
If he wants her gone he's going about it the wrong way.
All he is doing is energising the vote for Anne to stay just to spite him.
Golden Rule of Reality Shows, never take the GBP for granted and tell them they are wrong.

If Gavin and/or Michelle go before Ann, it doesn't bother me.
After that it would start to get "serious"..and I think the "tone" of the posts on here would change dramatically.

This is exactly what happened with John sargeant, have'nt the judges learned anything?
Maybe the producers have told him to say that seeing as the ratings have gone up this year. More tabloid publicity for Widdie
Up till now, I thought the judges were being kind to Ann, to prevent another John Sargeant situation. Craig has shown his hand too early and now risks another repeat of last year.

I think they know as well as anyone what the result is likely to be, so I can only assume it's intentional to keep the whole 'argument' going
As the great Mayor Quimby of Simpsons fame once said of the mugs who voted him back into office 'Throw 'em a fish and they clap like seals'
I think they got the 'result' they wanted tbh.
I agree with Craig too but saying stuff like that plays into the hands of the GBP who like to see novelty acts like Widdecombe and Sargent.
I think they should have relegated the Brucie wannabe to show dancer - he is Mr Entertainment anyway - and kept Ian.

Standing ovation for Craig.
I liked his comment about keeping an eye on the dancing side of things.
But like some of the posters on this thread I'm afraid his remarks, however just they may be, will have an opposite effect.

Can we really expect anything else? He's there to judge on the dancing and she is without doubt the worse dancer this year. Of course he thinks she should be gone. For me, I don't mind her being there until her presence starts sending the good dancers home. Until then, I can live with her in the comp, she's funny and entertaining.
I agree with Craig too.
Anne has her place, for a while, her while really should be up next week though - unless there are wondrous advances!

It would have annoyed me if Craig hadn't been honest. Ann is the poorest dancer in the competition. And although some may find her entertaining, I just find her and Anton's staged 'fun' very tiresome and patronising.
Craig was asked who should have been in the bottom 2. He said he wanted Peter and Ann in the bottom 2. Considering that was the position the judges put them in his reply made perfect sense.
His mistake came with the hippo comment

I'm of the opinion that somebody posted on anothe thread; quite frankly, if you have not inspired people to pick up the phone and vote for you, you don't deserve a place in the contest.
I 'think' that Ann will outlast Gavin, Felicity, Patsy, Michelle and Tina.

Seriously though why is Ann in Strictly?. She doesn't have a hope in hell of winning and, as shown this week, has to rely on gimmicks to see her through.
It is the John Seargent scenario all over again where Strictly becomes a laughing stock at the expense of other "more serious" celebrities. I don't get it. Of course the cynic in me says that this could all be contrived to get some headlines against X factor.
Is Craig right? I don't know, depends what the BBC thinks it is providing each week, a dance competition or entertainment. Ann certainly fits in the latter.

Coupled with ratings, otherwise they'd just bring back Come Dancing.
It's personalities, coupled with fun that brings in the audience, not perfect dancing.
