I'd say it's arguable who was better out of Chelsee and Harry, depending on your POV. Too close to call.
...
This.

I think she's the best of the bunch

I always find it funny that when someone is obviously very good people in the same breath will refute this at the same time as bringing up dance training in some form.

Its a bit of a contrast because to bring up dance training then one could assume you see something in her dancing that has technique.
I think what they mean is that she's not "naturally" talented because if she has dance training then her talent comes from there.

For the record I do think Chelsee has previous dance training. It's quite obvious from the way she moves and holds herself that she's had previous ballet training.

However that doesn't make her any less talented. Many other contestants with previous dance experience have entered this competition and never achieved anything. There still needs to be talent to transform the skills. And dancing isn't all about technical skills.

I'm back in England to visit relations before Christmas and it's the first time I've seen SCD and ITT this year. Both have gone a long way downhill since I left for my new home. I can't say I see the appeal of the ghastly, inarticulate, untalented and adenoidal little orange coloured troll that the judges and others seem to drool over. I used to enjoy both shows but I would not be watching either of them if I lived here now.

So sad that it's not what it used to be.

I liked Chelsee's dances. I would say there is no passion in her Argentine Tango. But in her Paso, she had 100% passion and it showed in her dance and judges did see it, so the perfect score. But i can understand when others don't see it. Because even though Harry is a good dancer,i never see passion or excitement in him,but he seems to be popular here. So each to their own.

I've seen journey only in Chelsee's performances throughout the series. She started with mistakes,but today she is just so brilliant. She and Pasha listen to the judges, take their criticisms on board and improve themselves. I was not so keen on her in launch and in the beginning of the series. But she really changed my opinion about her and today she is my favourite.

Wow what a nasty thing to say! Chelsee is of mixed race so doesn't need the tanning booth.

You have obviously missed the fact that in scoring her 40 for the Paso the judges have forced her to reprise this rather than the far better (IMO) Jive should she get to the final. So who will really benefit from this manipulation?

I'm sure it's all going to get very nasty and personal this coming week, as they say let the battle begin

Given the nastiness of your comments here it seems we'll all be better off as soon as you go away again.

Chelsee is technically very good, I think (not an expert here, just from watching all the SCD series) however I don't feel any passion from her. She is very young and perhaps doesn't know how to convey emotions, and yes, I am aware that she is an actress, but the only role I have heard of is her role in Waterloo Road. I don't doubt she has done more work, but that is the role she is known for.

Wow - you came all the way home just to say that.

Personally I'm managing to find a small crumb of comfort from some of the Chelsee hating comments - there must be much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth every time she delivers yet another stunning performance.

Quite .....

I prefer not to quote such a bitter and nasty post.


Bye homefromabroad, have a good trip home, don't come back too soon if that is the best contribution you can make.

I really felt the other dancers gave their all tonight but once again I failed to get any passion from Chelsee. I know a lot of people really rate her but for me she hasn't gone on a journey like the others.
Thought both Jason and Harry were both better than her tonight
I agree.

Harry, imho is an absolute star on the dance floor. Jason is also amazing. I'm not taking anything away from Chelsea's dancing, yes she is fab at it, but I just can't warm to her, and I have tried, very hard

Harry FTW. I have supported him from day 1. Jason is also 'pulling' at my strings 'tho

Wow! Check out the Chelsee hate.

Is she really so much of a threat for people to be so vile and nasty towards her?

It upsets me, it really does. I hope Chelsee doesn't ever come on here to read some of these remarks.

She's done incredibly well to get this far and Im so proud of her. Couldn't have happened to a nicer girl.

That has to be one of the nastiest, most spiteful posts I've ever read (and I'm not a Chelsee fan). I can't believe you joined up just to air such vitriolic views.

Shame on you.

It's obviously Harry's supporters see her as a big threat, a lot of them on Twitter were so put out that Craig dared to give her a 10 and not Harry. I'm not sure most of them have ever watched Strictly before though so don't get the concept of the show, the toys came out of the pram when Jason got 40 as well. It's like Harry has a god given right to win according to them.

Nothing against Harry at all, I do like him but I think Chelsee is marginally better.

I totally disagree with chelsee's 40, yes she is a good dancer but she was wobbly and her timing was off on occasions during her paso!

This would be a valid argument if she were up against contestants who DO have passion in their performances.

Holly
Harry
Jason

As you can see, a very flawed argument.

Just rewatched it again and I totally fail to see this

Apart from the ending, which could have been intentional, she performed the routine perfectly (which is surprising, as usually that is where her fault usually lies).

Sigh, a backlash was always going to happen (either from Harry fans, the final is looming, or from people who preferred Holly´s paso last few).

And to think that on HIGNFY it was said that British people gave a 7.4 for their happiness
