I think she was overmarked this week and last week too.
SUSANNA didn't deserve 9s for her V Waltz

And she will be next week and the week after, and the week after..... and then she will win.
Ok in my opinion Susanna was slightly overmarked by 2-3 points. I was there and she did not do a fleckl (from the TV all the viewers saw was a top spinning view not the footwork). Her feet were doing a running spin fact. She did it right in front of me and I spent most of the dance watching her footwork as I love a good Viennese waltz.
In my opinion there was too much faffing at the start and they didn't get to the natural and reverse VW turns until more than half way through.
She did however have the best dress last night so that was probably worth a point or two.
In my opinion Ashley's samba was better than Sophie's the latter of which was a bit skippy and floppy as she was travelling.
As regards Susanna she was probably in about the right place in the board although I would have thought she might have been equal with Ashley with Sophie just under that.

Not even in the same ball park. Those judges who gave Suzanna a 9 should be ashamed and embarassed.

That is said tongue in cheek I hope
No, she was overmarked and has been every week so far. It was never worth a nine, but it didn't help that so many others were overmarked also.
I also felt the routine itself was rather dull and slow.

I thought she was over marked, yet again, and I haven't seen much 'improvement' since she started.
She is very heavy on her feet, her posture is a awful as it was at the beginning, and her shoulders have a mind of their own.
I am not a breakfast TV watcher so I had no preconceived ideas about her. I am judging on her on what I see and my experience.
Kevin needs to teach her how to hold her own weight (find her axis), learn to flex her knees to improve her grace and movement deal with her awful upper frame - from the waist up!
Part of me wishes she'd drop the 'telly show personality gurning' act too. It's making me like her less.
I like people who are themselves on a show, but it seems she cannot quite right rid of her Breakfast Couch Personality and it's beginning to get on my last nerve.

She is this years teachers pet....the BBC's fav, and although I quite like the woman and her dancing is adequate she is in no way anywhere near a score of 9....this bias towards her will just turn me off her soon enough as it did with Chris Hollins and Alex Jones.
No, she really did not. But then apart from Natalie, everyone was overmarked last night. In fact, apart from that rumba, every single dance in this series so far has been overmarked. The scoring really has gone completely to pot.

That's very kind of you. Thank you
I've just cleaned out the cat litter tray and lined it with a newspaper with Susanna on the front page

Nice to get a view from someone who knows! I just know I don't like her, and don't get any joy from watching her.
BIB - this is the danger for those like her, who've done a bit of it for Comic Relief, or who (like Greyson, allegedly) sneak some private lessons in before the start of the series. It can backfire on them because their learning arc seems shallower.

I think she may have had private lessons, I also think Abbey may have. Not months and months, but I think they've definitely had an intensive short course. I have no proof, but she's being "oh shucks me" and Abbey is being all evil-eyed at her scores which wouldn't happen if you'd never danced before.

Tragic in so many ways.

Julien got a 7. The marks were bizarre. They always are.
She was better than most. She got a better score than most. It's not rocket science. I don't know the woman. I enjoyed the dance.
Why pick on one person when the scoring is, and always has been, so reliant on paddles 7 to 10? Is the range really only 30%? No.
(I exempt Craig from this criticism but Len's endless parade of 7s skew the scores badly.)

All these talk about Susanna's gurning face? Haha, Natalie, bless her, while being an exceptional dancer, I thought deserved tens for her rumba if she would stop her pro-gurning face. It's putting me off what would have been a perfect dance so early in the competition.
