It could happen that Mark's fans mobilise enough to keep him out of the dance off next week. Or if he does some nice story.
Indeed. I don't know why people assume it's a done deal Mark will be in the dance off next week.

Infact, after three consecutive DO's, I think it's very probable the public will vote to save him next week so that he get's a week off.

That's why CRH has tried to get rid of him both time's he's had the chance, I think (first time he did save Mark, but only to get rid if Hairy Biker Dave)

The other judges should be very concerned they are going to end up having to get rid of one of the best dancers next week while Mark sail's through... Could easily happen.

Maybe the judges need to stop stealing Craig's pain meds - clearly it makes them delusional!! The lifts that Ben did last night were incredible and actually really difficult. Okay so he wasn't the enthusiastic person but he tried and he improved every single week!! Also, when Dave was in the competition everyone always said "well the public's favourite stays in" but Mark has been in the danceoff three weeks running now - surely it's clear we want him out? He's a lovely guy and all but he hasn't been improving as much and he's definitely not the best dancer...

I haven't had a good word to say about Ben but he should won the dance off 4-0. It appeared to me that Mark virtually gave up in the dance-off. The bookmakers who had Mark long odds-on to leave must be raising a toast to the judges.

This isn't right Ben is much better than Mark.
Sorry but no he is not!....



Disgraceful. Ben's routine had much more difficulty, so even with the mistakes he should've been saved. Mark doesn't dance, he merely plods across the dance floor. He's been in the DO so many times -- clearly, he is not popular with the public. Reminds me of Lisa Snowden, another unpopular contestant which the judges saved time after time.

Ben had potential -- he was a little unlucky to get a dance which did not really suit him this week. I'm going to miss his lovely smile (and his muscles).
I think you will find if you go back and look at when Ben was out of hold, he was plodding much more than Mark could ever do!!!...

To be honest Ben gave up before dancing. it was a battle betgween two dancers who gave up. And to be honest bens dance off was absolute pants.

I'm really upset and annoyed that Mark is still here. Ben danced much, much better IMO
It stinks

I think it's far more likely that Ben would have received a bounce vote after being in the bottom two than Mark after three consecutive weeks. I think that's what the judges were banking on. They score Mark slightly higher in the main show then Ben obliges by messing up his dance off and hey presto, Ben out. He could have been quite difficult to shift otherwise. Mark is out next week barring a medical time out.

Ben is on the tour. Perhaps the judges want him and Kristina to polish their dancing for the tour. Just a thought. IMO mark should have gone.

When you think on those already gone its a joke all the justifying Mark still being there.

We shall see. I'm not nearly as confident that Mark goes next week...

"Movie week" will suit Marks stage and acting persona to a tee IMO...

You are right, keeping us guessing week on week is worth thousands of viewers, call me a cynic but he is there to boost the figures and not for his dancing, sorry lack of, dancing skills.

Mark was better than Ben in that dance off.

He still entertains me, and I enjoy watching him. I suspect his number will be up next week though.

Worse decision in SCD history? Not exactly an Austin moment is it? Ben made lots of timing mistakes. Mark was better in the dance off Mark will go next week.

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.
Absolutely agree with you, I can't see how much fun Mark is either.

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.
this, Ben made mistake after mistake, judges are meant to judge of the dance off, not sure what Craig was judging on but Mark made less mistakes than Ben therefore should have been saved by the judges

"No Way...Shocking."

I've read through this thread and it doesn't say who is pregnant and by whom?

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.
I would agree with that.

Actually, although I've been thinking that Mark's time was up for a couple of weeks, he hasn't actually taken out anyone who was seriously better than him. The only ones who have gone were the other also-rans. His scores (admittedly "fixable") in the main show have been better or the same as all three of the celebs he's beaten and arguably, the only one who might have been said to be better than him in an actual dance off was Dave who was miles worse throughout the series. Both Fiona and Ben fell to bits.

Mark will be in the bottom two next week, probably with either Abbey or Patrick and he'll be out. I can all but guarantee it.

That said, I thought I could all but guarantee his exit this week as well but then I never expected Ben to end up in the bottom two . Next week everyone is streets ahead of him.

Just caught the end although I'd already read the spoiler last night. Weird decision but he took it well. Kristina was very miffed however (understandably) but seemed to make a direct dig at the dancers with previous experience compared to Ben who came from nothing.
He came from nothing and left with nothing.

Ben was poor in the dance off and deserved to go. Mark will only survive next week if he avoids being in the bottom two - something he has failed to do for the last three weeks. He would not be able to survive a dance off against any of the remaining couples. I just hope that he and Iveta go out on a high next week.

It's a shame the dance he was performing was the Charleston then, not really known for its "incredible and difficult lifts" but for the swivel action in the feet, the loose legs and arms and a feeling of the 1920s bright young things, all of which were missing in Ben's attempt.
