She works 2 mornings a week and has for the last 10 weeks my paper boy does more hours.

I'd love to give whoever lumbered her with that music a slap with a wet kipper.

I know. I sat there appalled, muttering, 'no, no seriously Kevin. What are you thinking?'.

It was so very bad. The judges looked shell shocked when it ended. I think they all struggled with their commentary.

Agree! Terrible, daft choice. Awful

It Does Look that way.

Is your paper boy doing strictly

Bless you Mactown. You do make me laugh

*falls off sofa giggling*

Hear Hear
Scott Maslin's female counter part..

Ok, I might have been a bit harsh on her but Kevins coreography let her down and why is it that the producers choose songs, should it not be the pros and celebs?

I agree I think, her viennese waltz paso and waltz were superb then in between, she was inconsistent!

It's not the hours, it's the mileage.

No he it to busy doing his paper round but he has got a job at the BBC doing two mornings a week and will be on it next year.

Apparently the pro's don't get to pick the song choice and often have concepts forced upon them.

Its SCD not Top Gear.

First time i've voted and they went to her and Kevin. I also really love Abbey but i'm hoping shes safe tonight (watch me kick myself later!!)

Susanna is not the best dancer left but shes consistently entertained me over the weeks.

I really don't know who i want to leave tonight. I would have said Ashley but i loved his salsa and thought he was very unfairly kicked out of the swingathon and absolutely doesn't deserve to go.

I would like it to be Natalie (i can't bare the gurning any longer) but i doubt the judges would save anyone over her

I think i'm going to be sad whoever goes tbh

dreadful music, but unlikely to be their choice i would have thought (same for the ballroom tango)

i actually think they have been unlucky in the order they've done their dances, their better ones were earlier in the series and the last 3 haven't been great.

on tonight's offerings she should be bottom two, but might / will survive against ashley.

Ok, seriously, if she wasn't good for the third week in a row, then why vote for her? You have said she isn't good - surely she should be getting ready to leave the competition?

I broke my rule with my free votes tonight as would love to see Susanna get through another week, but she has had a few rough weeks & was the weakest tonight. I normally only vote for my top 4 with the top act getting 2 votes & realistically I should have stuck to that rule....my heart wouldn't let me as its much better to see those who are not trained dancers succeed.

Very true, when Ola and Ashley had Paso, they were told it had to be a Cowboy theme. Ola said this in one of the interviews on ITT.

It was worse than I thought it was going to be and I didn't have very high hopes to start with.

You can't do that open-mouthed over-acting thing in an Argentine Tango. It looks ridiculous. And the leg-work was too careful, not quick and flicky enough.

All that said, I do rather want Susanna in the final so I picked up the phone for her. No her last three dances haven't been good but I'd still rather watch a repeat of her Paso and Waltz in the final than Abbey, Natalie or Ashley's dances.

Susanna is looking weaker than the others now, but what chance did she really have when her partner had to choreograph a dance that he has never danced before, and is then lumbered with inappropriate music?

P.S. Swingathon was completely rigged to ensure the judges choices for the semis have the very best chance of going through.

To be fair, even allowing for the music the actual nuts and bolts of the AT either weren't there or were complete pants.

It certainly is a waste of time. It's just a time filler because the show would otherwise very pretty short. The swingathon bores me to death and just looks utterly shambolic.

Well said, she seems flat and lifeless all of a sudden! Shame though....!
