The judges have a weird blind spot when it comes to Lisa. At least one of the judges noticed she went wrong this week, normally they all turn a blind eye to her mistakes.
Lisa Riley was so awful I wished Victoria was BACK!!!

She isnt improving much as a dancer but she is likeable and enjoyable to watch.
I think you claiming it's one of the worst performances of the series is just wrong.
She was next to bottom in the leader board which reflects that she isnt dancing as well as the others.
She dances better than Victoria and Robin is much more pleasent than Brendan so why would you want Victoria back?

Particularly erudite, I thought.

Totally agree with this.
Lisa is by far a better dancer than her. Lisa is a better performer than her, Lisa is one of the better dancers out of all the contestants. She's not the best, and right now, she's one of the worst, but out of all the contestants this series, she's one of the best, easily top 5. But hey, whatever hyperbole works for you.

The choreography Karen created for Nicky was far more intricate and challenging whereas Robin's for Lisa was clearly an attempt to give her every opportunity to appear at least proficient. So yes, utterly, utterly absurd marking. Those marks were the wrong way round.

Not really. Lisa made a couple mistakes, and had some dodgy moments, but when she got it right, it was good. She performed it well and sold it. Nicky was not on the money and loose through out it all, the choreo didn't grab me either. Apples and oranges really. But I'd say Lisa was better just because she is more interesting to watch.

No it wasn't.
Whilst I do think Lisa really has improved her top line tonight, she still is not a patch on her performance, uniqueness, enthusiasm of the first week. To seriously want someone in the semi-final who has never matched a first week performance is a strange phenomenon.
I will be bitterly dissapointed when she knocks Nicky out in the dance off (if that happens, of course). The alternative for me is that she will be in a dance-off with Denise, and again I personally feel if she were to make this stage above a better dancer it would be wrong.
I have never undeservedly knocked celebrity dancers before (well not this level of hostility I hope! - Although I stand to be corrected
) but I really do not want Lisa to go any further, (and I think she deserves the knocking!)
Apart from the above....I have had a conversion (a road to Damascus moment, if you will - I quite liked Louis tonight )

This is, IMO, a ridiculous exagerration.

But why say it now when he has spent the rest of the series criticising everyone else ? There can be only one reason. Lisa is regarded as a special case.

Cannot disagree, she is terrible, however the judges like her personality it does not matter about her dancing or lack of it

Highly unlikely, as Kimberley is top of the leaderboard, with the highest score of this series.

She stomped around the floor like a baby rhino, no way was she anywhere near 'good'.

Exactly, I think it will be between, in whatever combination, a Lisa, Nicky, Denise dance off. Such a shame because I don't think they will make the right choice.
Tonight is the night I stay on DS waiting for the spoiler to come through!!!

Sorry to quote your comment again, but I'll have a pint of what you're drinking

This, this, this!!!!
I am sick of seeing the pro-Lisa threads, kudos to the OP for getting the other view across.
You know the ones , She is great and should win etc
I hope Lisa does not win because it will make a mockery of the show. It's DANCING not acting

Which pro-Lisa threads? Unless you're living under a rock, most threads about her are negative (and are you saying that people aren't allowed to like Lisa? That bit doesn't make much sense).
I'm interested as to what people in this thread make of Kimberley's score - and how a dance with a mistake even I noticed can get a perfect score.

Absolutely agree with this!!!
She made a massive boob during her routine, took an age to get back into it and then I thought none of the judges were going to mention it until Len piped up.

I don't think Kim deserved a perfect score, anymore than I thought Lisa deserved to be higher than Nicky on the scoreboard.
