Len and Craig's 9's for Kara
petertard

Odd how Kara did not get 39, if she could not be given 40, because that would tie her with Pamela. Len and Craig will not give her a 10 because either is afraid the other might give 10, which would give her 40. Is seems 38 is the limit, so it's so odd she never gets 39.

Len will never give them a 10, he's always nit picky. I'd like to see Craig give her a 10 to spite Len, make him the odd one out.

It was obvious from week 1 that "gentlemen prefer blondes" (ie Len), so he wants the Aussie girl to win with Mr Forgetful.

I didn't expect Len to give them a ten after his comments, but Craigs comment made me think he would definitely give a ten so i was very surprised with his nine.

Len seems to hold back with Kara. I can't quite work out if it's because she's young or because she doesn't have a penis but either way, it's unfair bias and it sucks

I though Kara's scoring was fair - but Pamela was overmarked. Kara was better than Pamela - almost pro standard.

Did hate the lovey dovey stuff beforehand though

Why on earth did Pamela get full marks tonight and Kara didn't? Kara is the better dancer of the two every week but because she's not married to Billy Conolly she doesn't get the marks she deserves. That's my opinion anyway!

The score was fair. They spotted mistakes and so took a point off her. In Pamela's case there were no mistakes spotted. More outrageous by far was marking Gavin with a 9.

It was crazy pamela getting four tens. She wasn't that good. She definitely wasn't near as good as Kara.

Yup

She was undermarked tonight - it seems to me the judges favour Scott so much they undermark both Kara and Matt (the best two of the competition)

I dont think it was fair. They should also take into consideration the technical difficulty of the dance especially one like the AT, The VW is a dance that is easy to look good in, even the terrible dancers in week one can look good while dancing it.

Personally I don't think it's to do with Billy. I think it's "isn't she marvellous for her age" syndrome. If Kara had done the identical dance, would she have got 4 10's? I think not.
It's like Alesha all over again, best contestant never to get a perfect score

I was sure that Kara would have been given all tens tonight and was surprised when she only got two tens!

I thought too that Kara's tango was a 40 tonight, and was baffled by Len's comments on her heel leads and foot stamping.

So I had a look back at the routine, and indeed Len's right about the heel leads, but the foot stamping was on the music accents and were executed simultaneously with Artem, so it was part of the choreography, and not a technical point!

So yes, maybe it was 9 if we are very very picky, but then again, if we are very very picky, Pamela's VW was an 8. 1 point off for the raised shoulders and occasionally stiff posture, and 1 point off for the slightly innane facial expressions.
