Get real. It was Len's 8 that was ridiculous.
Glad you are so happy to be taking that consistently overmarked plank of wood to Blackpool.

Presumably Kristina Thought 4 Was Too High?

4 was generous coming from Craig. He was generous with Ben in the past weeks! Kristina, don't make yourself unlikable so soon!
I have to say I agree with Kristina. The 4 was just ridiculous and dramatic. Even a 5 would have sufficed. The 8 from Len was too high.
The 4 though was a cheap way of attention by Craig.
Loving Ben and Kristina though. Love their chemistry.
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.

Agree. 4 balanced Ben's score down to a suitable 26. That was a slow jive for like over 90's.
They keep letting Ben off with things cause he is a good looking man and its getting beyond the realms of the ridiculous.

Same.
Hot to look at, but not to look at too dance
I thought both the 4 was too harsh and the 8 was too generous, so overall it all balanced out. Although I did agree with his overall score.
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

Perhaps Craig penalized Ben for wearing too much this week.

This!
Bruno is visibly losing his mind every time Ben performs, but manages to score (from my memory, at least) Benstina pretty fairly.
