Anyone out there still claiming Susanna and Kevin are getting special treatment?
I enjoyed their dance and Sophie and Brendan's most tonight. I think they should have given everyone a longer go at the lindyhop thing before chucking people out - I didn't even see Susanna or Ashley's efforts.

The Facebook page is going nuts over the swingathon being a fix.

If I had to pick the judges' favourites for tonight's show, it would be Abbey & Aljaz and Patrick & Anya.

I loved Abbey & Aljaz, but the judges must have been watching a different Patrick & Anya to me this week.

Natalie and Artem are obviously the judges favourite.

I've thought that Patrick and Abbey have been their favourites for a few weeks now. They're so blatant they're royally peeing me off.

I was really surprised Patrick scored as highly as he did in the rumba. I've loved some of his other routines but that really wasn't very good at all. I've already vented my swingathon angst on another thread but really....

I don't get the Patrick love at all. Where did that 10 from Darcey come from?

agreed, although I think he's been overmarked most weeks to be honest. He's no Colin Jackson

People are so blinded by their hatred towards Natalie, Patrick and Abbey that they cry over-marked for every dance they do! Would like to see a non Natalie/Patrick fan to actually ADMIT to something they've done good. That would be the day.

I do think Sophie deserved higher marks this week for their main dance (not the swingathon). Patrick was over marked for his main dance.

Judges favourites is a term that is thrown out when someone feels their couple has been hard done by and the couple they don't like has been given an easier ride. It changes by the week.

Can't we just agree that there are no judges favourites - the judges are just crap and inconsistent.

Now producer favourites on the other hand...

Quite. The producers give the judges their scripts and scores during the rehearsals.

Why take a chance? It is a panto.

How? Len absolutely ripped their paso apart and it had about the same amount of in hold as Kevin and Susanna did in theirs, the difference being Artem didn't choreograph it to show off his own ability, rather than his partner's.

It's all very Panto now.

It should be Abbey deserves it she understands how to work and on which elements to concentrate to make her appealing ......... Works for me and the judges.....!

Are you saying the order in the swingathon was given to the judges?

Possible, I don't think Susanah had stepped of that little podium before they were booting her off!
And Patrick was dancing like me in most of it but came second?!

Susanna was rubbish in swing a thon. I think Len wants susanna to win that is why he was disappointed to have to knock her out first.he even said it

I want artem and natalie to win but I don't think they are all judges favourites I think Bruno likes them but he would easily choose someone else as his avourite Aswell. Darcey I think she wants Patrick in the final, Craig sophie. I do believe Bruno wants natalie in the final.

Exactly...I believe it was a stunt. Although it wasn't a great paso. Create a bit of drama and faux outrage, pretend their position is under threat. Guaranteed vote puller.

Don't worry they will be in the final. They are doing the tour.

Think Abbey is Craig's favourite just going by the 10 he gave her last week.

I think the judges over mark but the direction of travel accurately (more often than not) reflects the correct position of a couple on the leader board.

I think it's more a case that fans of two couples in particular over value the performance of their favourites who in their eyes can do little wrong and are constantly under-marked each week.
