Darcey has lost the plot

In fact all the judges have!

Darcey to Lisa: "You are the next musical theatre star" - most ridiculous thing I have EVER heard, and a complete insult to everyone who's actually working hard and showing off their talent in the West End

And saying her only fault is gapping in hold - clearly she just closes her eyes when Lisa dances, considering she managed to find miniscule faults in everyone else's dances

The judges' hypocrisy and double standards tonight were the worst they've ever been - Lisa was being judged at a much lower standard than everyone else and consequently getting away with awful technique. If anyone else had danced like she did they wouldn't have got higher than a 6 or 7 - her salsa didn't even deserve that.

No-one should be getting allowances at this stage, it's not right.

Lisa Riley's a talented girl.

Not at dancing, mind you, but at slipping LSD into unattended water glasses.

Yep, there goes Darcey's credibility... IMO the other judges already lost theirs

Hairspray's still on in the West End right?

They may be using. at a bit of reverse psychology. Lisa's bottom of the leaderboard...mission accomplished. Tearing into her would have earned her a huge sympathy vote. Might be the plan.

See, your problem is that you assign any credibility to them in the first place. Only one of them knows much about ballroom, and he's perfectly willing to subvert his own knowledge if it gives him a chance to say a rhyme and then say "seven" in a funny voice.

We don't want her getting more votes than Louis. If she is in the dance off she should be gone.

No, it's on tour, and generally the girl who plays Tracy needs to be a pretty good dancer!

I actually think that Lisa would be good in musicals, but I don't know if she can sing.

I agree with you totally, but everytime I, or anyone else hints at putting Real Dedicated Pro. Judges on the panel from the real Ballroom 'Pool of Knowledge' there are boos and reminders that this is an entertainment show! At what cost in the final analysis (ratings aside of course)!

Why would that matter when she's so entertaining?

Sorry, she's not even entertaining. She's a joke that the audience and judges are laughing at.
