Compare the contestants of this weeks dance off and last, oh and the previous week too. Dave has been robbed?
Was Dave robbed ?
2 of 4
Dave should have gone last week really, at least tonight the right two were in the dance off, i thought they were both better than last night and thought dave could possibly have shaded it but as craig said mark does have the overall better movement. As for len during lens lens he had a go at craig saying anyone can be pedantic, he looks for the bad i look for the good, well unless you highlight the bad how can any contestant actually improve? Lens past his sell by date.

His dance-off performance was far better than his original one. There were some mistakes, but Dave's entire dance was overflowing with mistakes. Len was out of order, and frankly wrong. After choosing to save Dave, he has officially lost his final marble.

I've never rated Len since he gave Kara and Artem such a hard time. As far as Dave is concerned, gone and quickly forgotten.
If Dave had of took a sickie he would have still been in the competition. Down there's for dancing, up there's for thinking!
I preferred Dave's dance to Mark's tonight but like Mark said, he found this week hard so maybe it was a dance that didn't suit him. I will miss Dave because he seems a genuinely lovely man.
I think Len was just saving face because of all the ridiculous remarks he has been making about Dave being so entertaining. What is entertaining about someone performing so very badly? As for all this stuff about "working so hard" (not just from Dave) - as my darling son in law says it doesn't matter how hard you work if you're crap you're crap!

Agreed.
They were both terrible. I like Mark the better of the two, but I have to say that there was more choreography in Dave's dance. So glad I wasn't the one having to decide - I would have found it impossible.
I'd like Dave as a next door neighbour. He's a down to earth lovely guy who is realistic and knows he wasn't robbed. His pleasure came from the votes he received because he enjoyed taking part. He's handed the standard on to Mark now and Dave's legacy is he'll be remembered long after this series has ended.
Yes of course Dave was robbed. He wasn't good but Mark was worse and it was meant to be judged on the dance off not previous weeks dances.
Len was the only one that spoke sense. The other 3 just wanted rid of Dave. Darcey could not even come up with a reason to keep Mark but at least had the decency to look embarrassed

Mark walks around like a sack of spuds & wins, gotta be April 1. Neither are good dancers but Dave was the better entertainment. As an actor I like Mark & the programmes he does, but dancing...no thanks.
No, Dave wasn't robbed. Alright Mark isn't a brilliant dancer, but he can put in a performance each week. I don't know what Len was talking about, if he did make any mistakes, I didn't notice, but I'm no expert. Dave just could not dance, great at cooking but dancing, definitely not.
Agree with the public vote putting Dave and Mark in the bottom two but based on their dance off performances alone I feel Mark should have gone.
Sad Dave has gone. Hopeless dancer but loved the relationship with Karen. Feel sorry for her that Ola's whining in the press may have hurt them vote-wise.
Mark bores me to tears. Had higher expectations of him, to be honest. He doesn't seem to be enjoying himself much.

I agree because even though Mark did improve, Dave was still better in the dance off. Iveta took a risk this week and when they ended up in the dance off she must have thought it had backfired. How lucky they were the judges did not play fair.
There's so little between the two guys that the judges should have stuck to the rules of the dance off and I'm glad Len spoke up - but I'd have liked it better if he'd been clearer about why he's have saved Dave.
Dave will be fine about it though and Mark will be in Blackpool for his birthday.

If there were more mistakes it might have something to do with there being more content. It was quite ironic Craig suggesting Mark was the better mover when he barely moved a couple of yards in that routine.
I think everyone knows Mark was better than Dave but based solely on that dance-off? May be wrong but I don't recall any of the three judges who voted him through saying that he was actually better in the dance-off. I think they just held Dave responsible for getting better dancers eliminated and this was their ideal opportunity to get rid.

This!
I do not enjoy Mark as a dancer. His ChaCha was no ChaCha, merely gimic laden nonsense, even more so his Paso, this was a new low however, all he did was stand still and wave his arm (which made Craig's comment about picking the better mover even more ironic), or turn around in the spot barely able to lift Iveta. All the time looking constipated.
Admittedly, Dave is still even less adept.
The correct bottom two however, for once.

No he was not robbed! God knows where Len was coming from or going on about! I didn't watch the main show but I saw the results show and I did not see any conviction in Dave's moves and if there was, it didn't look like it to me.
I get the impression the judges are after Mark now because they think he doesn't deserve to be in the show (not my opinion though) and I think they should look at how they score Sussanah as I feel they have been overmarking her and over rating her from the begining! I like Sussanah btw, but I do think she has been overmarked and overated bigtime.
Mark is boring.
Dave may have been a little worse than Mark when dancing, However the laughs and fun he supplied made him a much more interesting contestant.

I wonder if we'll find out which dance Dave and Karen would have been doing if they gone through. I do wonder what their Charleston or AT would have been like!
