This makes X Factor look decent and above board. An outrageous score.

I want to like her dancing (as I like her as a person very much) but she looks clumpy sometimes and that puts me off. I want to see what the judges see.

I enjoyed Gavin's VW better than her QS

oh it's you again
pamela was NOT spectacular
kara's dance was a 9 for me
pammie was an 8 AT BEST

must have been

Funny how you find Pams crotch not chavvy.

Talk about deja vu.
What are the judges watching?
Matt Scott and Kara were all better than Pam tonight.
AAAAGGGHHH!

How much did Billy Connelly pay the judges ?? FFS what on earth was that 40 for ? A clumpy quickstep ?It was awful .

I am convinced he must have their cats or parents or hamsters held captive in a basement somewhere

Score her highly or the squirrel gets it!

Can I just say arrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh?

Leaving aside Matt and Kara (who easily delivered the best dances tonight) and how unfair it is that both scored LOWER than Pamela, I just can't believe a QS where the celeb is heavy on her feet throughout the dance scored 40 out of 40. What on earth are the judges on?

She's top of the leader board?

Odd robbery that.

Pam's was the most one-sided VT as well.

The judges had nothing negative to say about her whatsoever and claimed she's as good at Latin as she is Ballroom?!

You could drive a truck through those gaps, James dragged her through the pivot section, she was clumpy, totally not light on her feet, it was just terrible! I don't even know how to articulate how bad that was!

Wow, some people were watching Pamela's dance with closed eyes and ears.

Not posted on here in yonks but I feel the need to join in. Absolutely ridiculous score, it was worth 8's at best. I actually enjoyed Gavin's VW waltz more than Pamela's dance

Hopefully the final will be based purely on viewer votes.

Total agreement.

Though that Gavin did a better job than Pamela tonight.

Kara got stung for having too much AS out of hold.

Surely the QS should be mainly in hold???? P&J spent at least 60% of time OUT of hold???????
And they still get 40?

As Victor Medrew would say "I don't believe it!

.What a load of codswallop the judges talk . How much did Billy put in the brown envelopes I wonder .

OMG!!!!! That was never ever worth 4 10s

I think the judges are trying to push Pamela to the final. They want to see her there.
They would love a Scott, Pamela and Kara final.

It's like Tom/Rachel/Lisa all over again.

I suspect Craig was rewarding Pamela for the richness and variety of James' choreography just as judges punished Matt for Aliona's. But what about Kara's Argie tango moves? Also awarded extra because of Pamela's miracle in overcoming the age handicap of 61.

Brava to Pamela, but if I were paying to watch one of two shows, I would go to Kara and Artem. Every time.

LOL

I forgot that one! There are so many I think were streets ahead of Pamela's - Tom & Camilla, Austin & Erin, Erin & Colin. Too many to remember really. Pamela's just didn't have any 'wow'.

I think James' choreography has been pretty safe to be honest
artem's is just

I think theres def an "old bird done good" angle being pushed this series. Shes actually quite a good dancer, but DEF doesnt deserve higher scores than the blatantly superior Kara...

Am I going nuts or were there a couple of slightly "stumbly" bits to tonights dance from Pamela?? I thought they were covered up well, but I dont think the dance was perfect hence the 40 was undeserved..

P.S. Why is Kara being punished for lifts?? SHE doesnt instigate them- shes being taught them! Arent the judges supposed to judge her DANCING, not what they think of the choreography??
