I was happy with Natalie winning, but not at all happy about the rest. No way should Patrick be 2nd and Susanna hadn't even got started! Ashley was doing well too. Abbey was going from lift to lift and doing hardly any dancing.

The camera work was rubbish, the whole thing was rubbish.

Susanna didn't even get started before she got voted out!

Many thanks Stig

I think he's been more favoured than anyone else this year.

I agree - I thought the order they finished was absolutely correct. Natalie and Patrick seem to be disliked on here - yet they are my favourites

No, we most certainly can't all agree.

I am not a Natalie fan but she really was head and shoulders above the others. Some of you are letting your dislike of her colour your vision. I agree that Patrick should have gone earlier and Ashley was robbed. Abbey struggled with that, I thought, and I'm a big fan of hers.

Does anybody else think that this was the judge's attempt to manipulate the placings so as to have Natalie and Ashley in the dance off with Natalie going?


or

To protect Patrick???

What were you watching? Patrick barely moved and was lucky to get second. Natalie was miles better and deserved to win - makes me mourn the jive we didn't get to see.

Ashley works for the wrong channel. Patrick doesn't.

Because she's a professional dancer practically. She's had years of training so she has an unfair advantage over everyone else. Plus, the judges just love her for some reason and so even if Natalie fell face first on the floor she still would have won.

it always is. I could have predicted the order. THey hadn't of bothered with it.

All a bit pointless arguing about it. None of us at home got the chance to see any one dancer long enough to judge, with the camera jumping around every couple of seconds.

Having said that, we all knew that Natalie would win it, whether she danced the best is immaterial.

I don't like 'swingathons' because it looks like it might be fixed - to manipulate the leaderboard. Because there is that possibility I think it should be dropped. (don't like these new smilies - just to change the subject a little).

Nope, Natalie and Artem were incredible in the swingathon in a way they weren't in the paso so now I'm even more that they didn't do the jive.

Ashley and Ola was robbed we all know it. They should of won or atleast came 2nd.

They was really going for it.

Natalie played it safe doing the same moves.

Don't let the judges win. Vote Ashley!

Yes, it was. But I am not sure about the rest of the positions.

Totally agree with this, felt I wasn't able to see enough of any couple to make an informed decision.

Ok, we get it. You don't like Natalie. However, I can't even begin to agree with your comments.

Natalie & Artem deserved to win the swingathon as they were comfortably the best couple out there. The judge's bias towards Patrick was really obvious - he should not have out scored Abbey...

This is getting quite embarrassing now.

Most of Ashley was not spent dancing but throwing Ola around and jumping over her. They've only got themselves to blame, in fact they should have been voted out first. THEY GOT LUCKY!

How is Patrick at the top of the leaderboard

Was it Sophie who danced last, had to change and go straight out on the floor for the Swingathon. Very unfare that some had half an hour or so to rest whilst they had just seconds.

The whole things seems a pointless exercise and guaranteed to be unfair. It would be as dramatic but it would be fairer if they all danced and then the judges put them in order at the end.
