The 4 though was a cheap way of attention by Craig.

Sophie to go! Cold cold woman.”
Perhaps Craig felt he needed to balance out some unfair marking?
By the standards of scoring Craig has held Ben to so far, it was too low. To my mind it was one of his better dances, but Craig had it as his second-worst, by some distance.
Maybe if Craig didn't score Ben based on how much he turned him on, on a week-by-week basis, there wouldn't be this problem.

I don't think Sophie's cold. She was the only one who comforted Mark.
I think "reserved" is a more accurate word.
I don't think Ben is as good or as bad as some people make out. He is consistently consistent in that he is just...OK.
Perhaps he could get together with Sophie's 'mannequin' and they could just look at each other for a couple of minutes. Len would probably still give 8.

Exactly, and even if he's marking comparatively, does he really think Ben was as bad as Dave? And Mark was better?
He needed a bit more kick 'n' flick in his jive and a lot more energy yes, but 4 was definitely too low IMO... He was in time and the moves, apart from lacking energy, were quite well done...
Hopefully Kristina can choreograph another dance just as good for Blackpool week!
4 was too low and an 8 was too high!!!!! I wouldn't have called Craig's 4 ridiculous tho, that was just silly of Kristina to say that, Bens jive was in the 5-7 region

This!
Bruno is visibly losing his mind every time Ben performs, but manages to score (from my memory, at least) Benstina pretty fairly.
The fact is that Craig scored Ben & Dave the same. Really? Ben has been overmarked obviously, but to say that his dance was only worthy of the same mark as Dave is just daft.
