Ben was making mistakes all over the place. It got the point where I was wondering if he was doing it on purpose to get away from Kristina's insanity.
And during the final dance at the end she was hanging onto him and saying something (probably 'You get the AK47 and I'll get a garrote and we'll meet at the judges table in 30 seconds). He smiled and, I think patted her, but looked a bit uncomfortable then gestured for the others to come onto the dance floor as well. |

I like Ben, think he's a really nice guy and there have been moments when he's moved well but mostly I really don't understand the marks he's been getting, particularly from Craig of all people. His jive was overmarked awfulness, last week three other guys did half the dance for him and this week was all cheese and lifting. Mark entertains and he may not have a bounce action but he still dances. I'd far sooner watch Mark than Ben. If Mark had been dancing against anyone other than Ben, I'd have said it was time for Mark to go but against Ben, I think they made the right decision.

So weird I could almost believe it's a fix, although I'm sure the BBC wouldn't do that. Agree with most of the comments above. Very disappointed, especially after Len's first words on Saturday, about how they're going to start getting picky. All we hear Mark getting praise for is how much fun he is (which I don't see) while other dancers are picked up on the slightest thing. It makes no sense.

Ben was much like Fiona - accepted his fate as soon as his name was called and I think both he and Fiona made obvious mistakes in their dance off performances because of that which led to them being eliminated.
Mark and Ben were the weakest left but it was just that Ben made more errors. |

So sad to see Ben go, what a sweet guy.
That is the biggest ovation that I can remember when a contestant left, and what a gracious loser. ![]() I shall really miss him.

The judge's made the right decision. Ben made two very obvious mistakes in a dance that was poor to begin with. Mark danced better in the dance-off and as Ben said, he was on borrowed time, so it wasn't that surprising.

Worst decision is SCD history are you people actually serious, these two guys are both pretty much on the same level and Ben made mistakes in the dance off.

That's funny, because Ben hasn't done any of that for eleven weeks.
It's not personal he seems like a nice bloke he just can't dance |

For years viewers have moaned that the dance off was irrelevant and the judges always saved the best couple overall, except this year they are making viewers happy by actually judging based on the dance off. Well I suppose that's how it is meant to go.

No Mark did not dance, he has never danced since the beginning of the competition, he cannot dance. He walks around in a robotic motion. He may be entertaining to some, popular with others but a dancer he is not, nor if he was here for 50 weeks, ever will be.

The point is Mark could never do what Ben did, not in a million years. Disgusted. Mark should have gone long before this anyway.

Oh come on it was down to the number of mistakes and Ben made loads. Kristina does alot if distraction dancing. I specifically watched Ben after someone pointed that out and they were right.
Fair play to Mark though, it's not his fault if the judges keep putting him through, despite CRH best efforts to get rid of him, LOL.

Shocking, really? It would have been shocking had Mark been saved over someone like Sophie or Patrick. But honestly, Ben is terrible. He's only lasted as long as he has because he's considered a "hunk", he's only very marginally better than Mark. He'd has have probably been voted off next week anyway.
Some people really need to get some perspective! |

No one was more shocked than Mark - I like the guy but he should have gone tonight.
A cynic might think it suits the judges to have Mark as their get out of jail card in the dance off. |

Darcy looked like she was in tears at the end and exclaiming to Len in the background - didn't look happy at all!
I was a Ben fan, but I think he and Kristina paid the price for playing the beefcake card one too many times. If he'd done a fully-dressed funnier Charleston a la Chris Hollins, he would have stayed. |

A ridiculous result.
Mark lumbers around like an elephant in thee room! But without the grace. Week after week he has simply walked to music. Naively we here thought it was supposed to be all about dancing. None of his performances were 'entertaining' as Len keeps claiming. Get rid of this smoke candidate before the semi-final. , |

I also agree with the judges decision. Ben's timing was awful in places, as well as his mistakes. Mark will be leaving soon enough, but tonight he was the better dancer. |

But she voted for Mark in the dance-off and also gave him one more point in the main show. She should be happy.
