I think so.
Blackpool Week, Main Show (16 Nov, 6:30 - 8pm) Discussion Thread

If I actually did vote, I would only vote for Susannah, she's quite the dark horse of this competition!
I gave all 5 votes to Ashley, just because I think they're in the biggest danger this week. They could suffer from Sophie voters.

One for Nat
Two for Ash
Two for Patrick
Nat's top of the leaderboard and Susannah did brilliantly and is popular.
Loved Susannah, Nat and Ash particularly tonight, enjoyed Patrick.
Abbey's was good, but fearfully overmarked and that irritated the CRAP out of me, her fault or not, it's like they're pushing her up when she doesn't actually dance well enough to warrant it.

So did I, I have no knowledge of the technical skills I just watch and enjoy, some more than others. I expect that most viewers do the same.
Have voted so can now make myself a cuppa.

If she gets any darker, she'll have to tick a different 'ethnicity' box on her census form.
Voted twice for Susanna and twice for Sophie and once for Abbey Susanna to win, she was fabulous tonight!
Susanna to win, she was fabulous tonight!

Trouble telling who the celeb is with their routine.
Still can't warm to her and bored with the back/exhaustion talk.
I think we're seeing that the music is getting votes. Susanna/Mark had something traditional and different. It stood out and I feel that won it points, applause and televotes. Had they got the cowboy theme instead of Ashley, it would have been a different story.

Sophie is deffinately too smug
Is it something about the Blackpool Tower Ballroom which made the judges fearfully overmark this week?

If the judges applied the same criteria for every dance in each show, then each dance should get the appropriate mark on merit.
Obviously this is not happening when Craig scored 7 for Sophie and only a mark lower for Fiona, when he found endless errors in her dance.
It is Blackpool and the producers probably have directed the judges to waft the 10 paddles though.

Yep - agree. Compared to Ben and Fiona, I would look forward much more to watching Mark's next dance.

I entirely agree. I like the proper old fashioned music. Susanna's music raised her game imo.
I found Nartem's charleston a bit average. I was expecting much more but that could due to the shit music. Susanna on the other hand really pulled it out of the bag.

Hahaha, that tickled me, you're right
Can't believe how bad Natalie's Charleston was, especially with that horrible music. Sophie and Susanna were undermarked. Natalie, Abbey and Ben were overmarked.

I thought she ran out of steam a little towards the end, but it was a very energetic dance and she's been unwell so that's not surprising.

I know what you mean about the back, think the producers spoil it for the celebs sometimes though overdoing things.
The judges will have spoilt it for some of them too by overmarking them. I think they'll be some surprises at the bottom tomorrow !
