Head Judge Len would have chosen Dave, because he thought that Mark "made many mistakes" in the dance-off.

Mark can make all the mistakes and he'll still be more musical than Dave. So no. No loose change for Dave. No robbery of any kind.

I think he just said that to make it seem less of a whitewash.

No he wasn't .

No

Woz Dave wobbed.....sorry couldn't resist

Professionally not sure who was the better dancer, but preferred watching Mark.

Yes he was robbed and all part of the BBC strategy. I hope Natalie's Guiltitus gets a lot worse after watching the show tonight,

He did not say that on any other occasion this series.

No, Dave made even more mistakes. Hopefully Len was trying to soften the blow but you never know given his erratic scoring!

Absolutely not!

No Dave Was Not Robbed, He Should Have Went Weeks Ago Worst Dancer In The Competition,at Last He's Gone.

Given his facial expression when told he was in the dance-off, I suspect he thought he was.

I think Len genuinely would have saved Dave - mostly because he thought it would make him popular with the public. Every other judge voted to save the better dancer so Len had a grumpy fit and decided to moan about why they were all wrong and he's right.

Forget getting rid of Bruce. I think Len has lost his ability to actually judge dancing on a technical level so I'm not sure what his purpose is anymore.

I think on THIS DANCE alone...Dave was better...but i do think that Mark will redeem himself next week..I feel sorry for Dave and Karen....but sure it was his time to go...You should have seem the reaction last night on the spolier thread when the offical spoiler came in ...And she mistakenly put Mark as leaving...FORUM MELT DOWN....! so maybe its just as well he left this evening..But i for one would be sorry to see him go...The only way he would have made blackpool was if he wasnt in the dance off..Cest Le Vie...

Unless one believes in the dictatorship of Goodman, no because three voted to keep Mark in which outweighs Len's vote, head judge or not.

No.

Len appears to be getting obstinate.

I don't think he was robbed. His bodt was rigid all the way through and I watched his feet. I didn't see one dance step, unless marching around the dancefloor is considered as a series of dance steps.

I think three of them basically ignored the dance-off and just voted Mark through on past performance. That was easily Mark's worst performance - there was barely anything to it.

No he wasn't.

I thought he was really nasty to Mark. He could have just said he would have saved Dave and left it at that.

No, we wuz all robbed for having to watch such rubbish.

I did feel for Dave tonight as I thought in the DO he did do more of a tango than Mark did a rhumba. He was only robbed in the sense that if he hadn't gone last night he would have next week.

No, Rachel was robbed

Seriously,her D/O routine last week was better than either of those,,,,,and I don't care if Len disagrees

Both Dave and Mark are poor and have been for weeks.

Dave wasn't robbed at all. Mark's not a great dancer, BUT, as Bruno pointed out, performance is 50% of it, and Mark is a superb performer - week in, week out! Hats off to the guy, I didn't know how well he could act... Well done Mark
