at this point i think everyone is overmarked but taking this into account and comparing to each other

Dani - AS - undermarked (darcy gave this the same score as louis jive??)
Louis - Jive - overmarked (kicks were appalling)
Denise - Tango - undermarked (best dance of the season imho)
Kimberley - AS - about right
lisa - salsa - overmarked

Dani - AT - about right
Louis - fox trot - overmarked (10's really?)
Denise - Rhumba - overmarked (lacked some flow between moves)
Kimberley - ch - overmarked (but very good)
lisa - AS - overmarked

Here's my scores:

Kim:
Charleston - 9
American smooth - 10

Louis:
Foxtrot - 10
Jive - 7

Lisa:
Salsa - 4
American Smooth - 5

Denise:
Rumba - 8
Tango - 8

Dani:
American Smooth - 9
Argentine Tango - 8

So my personal leaderboard would be:
Kimberley - 19
Louis - 17
Dani - 17
Denise - 16
Lisa - 9

Most overmarked for me was Lisa, followed by Denise. Louis and Kimberley were only a shade overmarked. Dani was overmarked in one, but undermarked in the other so it balances out about right.

Here is mine:

Dani & Vincent
American Smooth - 9
Argentine Tango - 9

Louis & Flavia
Jive - 7 (standing ovation???)
Foxtrot - 9

Denise & James
Tango - 10
Rumba - 9

Kimberley & Pasha
American Smooth - 10
Charleston - 10

Lisa & Robin
Salsa - 8
American Smooth - 7


Leaderboard:
Kimberley 20
Denise 19
Dani 18
Louis 16
Lisa 15

Dani:
AS - undermarked (Darcey started losing the plot here and gradually lost it more as the night went on...)
AT - about right / slightly undermarked (loved it)

Louis:
Jive - overmarked (it was awful)
Foxtrot - about right

Denise
Tango - undermarked (not my favourite dance of the night or even of hers, but it was good)
Rumba - about right / slightly undermarked (it was beautiful)

Kimberley
AS - about right / slightly undermarked (just a bit clumsy getting into a lift but otherwise great)
Charleston - correct (it was fabulous, one of the best of the series for me )

Lisa
Salsa - overmarked (if anyone else had danced that badly they'd have got a 6 at best)
AS - overmarked (out of sync, messy and just generally several leagues below all the other ballroom dances tonight)

Kimberley:
Charleston - 10
American smooth - 9

Louis:
Foxtrot - 9
Jive - 6

Lisa:
Salsa - 6
American Smooth - 8

Denise:
Rumba - 10
Tango - 10

Dani:
American Smooth - 8
Argentine Tango - 10

So my leaderboard :

1. Denise 20
2. Kimberley 19
3. Dani 18
4. Louis 15
5. Lisa 14

All I can say is that Kimberely is overmarked due to the fact the judges want her in the final. The Charleston sorry not 10's all the way, the lifts were a tad off and her dancing when you look at her is rather lumbersome. Louis's Foxtrot should have had 10's

Agree regarding Kimberley. Her Charleston reminded me of Pamela's actually- cumbersome, sloppy but praised to high heaven. It just didn't wow me like a 10 dance should.

Dani - AS - Slightly overmarked, not worth a 9.
Louis - About right, floppy and casual.
Denise - Tango - About right.
Kimberley - AS - About right.
lisa - salsa - overmarked.

Dani - AT - about right
Louis - Slightly overmarked, worth 9 but not 10
Denise - Rhumba - About right
Kimberley - ch - Extremely overmarked, worth 8 at most.
lisa - AS - overmarked

I thought Dani was marked about right all evening.

Louis's Jive was marked correctly but his Foxtrot wasn't 10-worthy in my opinion.

Kim was slightly overmarked in both dances BUT was still the best overall tonight.

Denise was overmarked for her Rhumba. But her Tango deserved 39.

Lisa, it goes without saying, was overmarked.

Lisa overmarked.

Since everyone else is doing it, my scores!

Dani:

AS = 8
AT = 10

Denise:

T = 10
R = 9

Kimberley: preferred them the opposite way around

AS = 10
C = 9

Louis:

J = 7
FT = 8

Lisa:

S = 6
AS = 7

i don't think that the comments for the louis jive matched the marks it was appalling

Dani

AS - two points overmarked, a bit lacking.
AT - a shade overmarked as didn't feel Dani immersed herself in the role enough for 10s.

Lisa
Both overmarked and worth about 24 each.

Denise
Rumba - two points overmarked as lack of hip action means it can't be a 10 dance but it was good.
Tango - about right

Louis
Jive - around 26 would have been a more accurate score.
Foxtrot - about right

Kimberley
AS - not sure. This one was an odd one for me. I think I can see why it got what it got, but still not a 10 dance for me so a little overmarked.
Charleston - quite a bit overmarked for me though not /bad/ by any means, but nowhere near 40.

Overall - a few too many tens for me. I can understand why they throw them out like candy at this point, though. But the leaderboard is about right positionally which I suppose is what counts (even though I don't 'get' Kimberley, she was consistent tonight).

Here are my scores and they are miles apart from the judges.

Dani and Vincent: American Smooth - 8. Argentine Tango - 7

Louis and Flavia: Jive - 4. Foxtrot - 6

Denise and James: Tango - 9. Rumba - 6

Kimberley and Pasha: American Smooth - 7. Charleston - 6 (Enough of these Charlestons already they are getting on my nerves now).

Lisa and Robin: Salsa - 6. American Smooth - 8.

My scores, as everyone else is doing them:

Dani and Vincent (American Smooth): 7
Louis and Flavia (Jive): 5
Denise and James (Tango): 9
Kimberley and Pasha (American Smooth): 8
Lisa and Robin (Salsa): 3

Dani and Vincent (Argentine Tango): 8
Louis and Flavia (Foxtrot): 7
Denise and James (Rumba): 7
Kimberley and Pasha (Charleston): 7
Lisa and Robin (American Smooth): 5

I don't think anything tonight was 10-worthy. Sorry.

Overmarked

Louis' Foxtrot - What a po face - he so much better in training so should just be himself. He can act silly now but can't act elegant in a relaxed way without looking like a butler

Denise's Tangp - several of her kicks were behind the music

Undermarked

Louis' Jive - I thought it was better than marked.

Dani's ATango - Just brilliant and the best dance of SCD 2012 so far

Oh and I can't comment on Lisa as I go to the loo during her dances.and my bladder was particularly tankful (sic) today.

Oooh, ohhh, I know this one!

Everything was overmarked apart from Louis's foxtrot.

Leaderboard order was spot on though.

Dani........... 8 9 = 17

Louis ..........6 8 = 14

Denise.......10 9 = 19

Kimberley....9 9 = 18

Lisa.............5 7 = 12

It was blatant leaderboard fixing tonight, esp. regarding Kimberley who needed 40 to land top spot, should have got max 32 for that, & has been over-scored consistently for the last 4 weeks or more. Why is she the only one to get 2 perfect 40s series-long when Denise has produced 5 or 6 dances that were better than anything Kimberley has produced, yet hasn't received a single 40?
She is very lumbersome. Denise's tango was the only 40 dance tonight yet only got 39. Would have had Dani's combined score at least as high as Kimberley's & Denise should have been top of the leaderboard. They make a mockery of the show the way they behave in these weeks leading up to, and including, the final. Worse than XF in trying to pull the wool over viewers' eyes.

I was the reverse for me.

Dani
AS: Overmarked for me. Sorry but I found ti really boring for an American Smooth. Ieven found her dress/hair underwhelming. nothign big and showbizz and raz-a-mataz about it.
My score: 7

AT: Again slightly overmarked. I thought 9s as there seemed to be some issue in the middle that didnt seem quite right.
My score: 8

Louis
Jive: Overmarked, it was awful Flat footed, bad timing, out of sync ith each other.
My score: 6

Foxtrot: About right-ish.
My score: 9

Denise
Tango: Overmakred by a mark or two. Technically very good Its not the best tango Ive seen so didnt warrent the 10s. 9s would be better.
My score: 9

Rumba: Slightly overmarked. I kind think this is the dance Ive enjoyed most of Denise's BUT!!!! It wasnt a rumba really. Lack of rumba content, only basic steps and little of them at that. No hip action. lazy by James not to challenge her.
My score: 8

Kimberley:
American Smooth: undermakred, Should have been 40.
My score: 10

Charleston: overmakred by one or two. but great lifts, and character.
My score: 9

Overall Kim was marked perfectly IMO just the scores for each dance shoulda been switched.

Lisa:
Salsa: About right. Given the 'incidnet' her technique was better but brought down by the floor show.
My score: 7

AS: Undermarked. Very showbizzy, great dance in genreal IMO. her best. Deserved a 9 or two.
My score: 9

So my leader boards woulda been

Kimberley: 10+ 9 = 19
Denise: 9 + 8 = 17
Lisa: 7 + 9 = 16
Louis: 6 + 9 = 15
Dani: 7 = 8 = 15

Denise overmarked by a long way on both dances!!!
