Amy did a great freestyle.

Got to say Derek did an amazing job.

Len giving a 9

<333

I think he is the best judge. Bruno / Carrie Ann too bias.

Tonight's elimination in a few mins

Think - Candace
Want - James (I could easily say Amy but she is better than James / Candace. James does nothing for me. The handsome appeal has worn off for me)

Well....that seems a bizarre result just going off twitter alone as they were trending. Did Candace really poll more votes than a boybander?? Don't believe it for a minute.

What a ridiculous result. James should have been in the final 3 , the freestyle was amazing. I also never realised and don't agree with how the judges scores are combined with the usa viewer votes on the finale ??. This opens up the fact that they can still manipulate the voting and help their favorites even on the final dances. It should be done in a similar vein to SCD where the scores are just for guidance and all of the result comes from the viewer votes.

DWTS never lets the public decide the winner on these shows ever since Bristol Palin gate. It was obvious despite her hate Bristol had much more phone votes than Jennifer Grey / The other guy. But that season they did "Combined totals" so it was Jennifer win.

That is what I can remember.

As for the result. Yes it is ridiculous but James was never going to win anyway. It's been a 2 horse race between Meryl / Amy after Charlie was booted. I wanted to see Candace in Final 3 cause I like her the best and think she is a nice lady. Plus I am a Christian and we stick together

James sexy guy appeal will only get him so far. Plus the Peta cringey VT's might have made girly votes go off them as he was "taken". Also Candace is the next most talked about over Meryl / Amy and as always any publicity is good for votes and cause James to be forgotten about and fall behind.

I just hope that Meryl takes the victory now. Amy is pleasant enough and I think she has done extremely well, but does there really need be 3 Hough victories in a row??. Meryl outshines Amy and Candace in every dance that she has done.

James should have got 3rd place on tonights performance. His dances were better than Candaces.They got rid of him to pave the way for a Meryl or Amy win. Maybe Meryl as Maks will most likely take up the offer of a place at the judges table next season. Hopefully as Lens replacement. Again, I don't believe Candace got more votes than James. He has a rabid teenybopper fan base.

Hurrah at the result. One of the most overrated (by the judges, mainly) contestants to have graced the show - I couldn't enjoy any of his dances because he simply didn't dance them well. And I'm assuming stopping in the middle of his Tango for a quick grab and a snog didn't help his cause much.

By the way, can America actually last five minutes without having a male torso in view?

Very happy with the result. I'm just not a fan of James' dancing and they went way overboard with the sexy couple thing. (I just don't see it either - he's so....banal . CAI wetting herself over him each week was really off-putting too).

Presumably the result was based on last week's combined scores and votes, but I didn't really like either Candace's or James' freestyles. Candace looked like a woman having a good old bop at the disco with a couple of awkward lifts chucked in (Ouch-y - poor Mark ) and James and Peta's routine was horrid (though I liked his baton twirling ). Preferred her QS to his tango.

1st BIB - based on last week...

2nd BIB - I agree it would be better if the scores were just for guidance, but they never give a great spread of marks anyway so it isn't as blunt an instrument as the ranking system on SCD (but yes, it does give them more power). Also, the time zones make a viewer vote for tomorrow's dances impossible.

The usual channels haven't uploaded the dances yet but you can see the whole show if you watch in this order (with annoying ads butting in - grrr)

re-do dances:
James
Meryl
Candace
Amy

Freestyles
James
Meryl

elimination

I can't think why it would benefit the show to lose James and his valuable young fans and Candace's vote has defied the judges scoring every week, so I'm not as shocked as she seemed to be! Cody Simpson has bazillions of followers and went weeks ago. Not sure teeny boy banders really watch or bother to vote (despite James and Peta offering signed photos - or something - for people who could prove they'd voted multiple times! )

Agree with this, although the producers probably pushed that angle. I was more put off by him repeatedly saying he wanted to win tbh. I found him a bit uptight in general.
Can't help feeling a bit sorry for Peta, she'll probably be dropped by James quicker than a hot potato now.

Can't remember if this was posted before.
In his interview, Conrad Green did admit story manipulation, not that we are surprised of course.

Agree, I found James handsome the first few weeks but he just looks too ken doll type and slightly android. Plus Peta was off putting. Agree with Stig he was so overrated and Charlie was robbed over him for the final

Apparently Meryl has been dancing with two broken toes and was throwing up on the morning of the show with food poisoning.

I hope that Meryl wins tonight, not because of Maks but because overall throughout the season she has been a very strong competent dancer. However, am I alone in thinking that I felt that their freestyle was very frantic and frankly too intense and I may be in the minority but I did not enjoy it as much as their argentine tango from earlier on in the night.

Len on the other hand, nice to see he is the same on DWTS as on SCD, fair enough if people didn't like James but I don't see how he could give the freestyle a 9 and not state any sort of criticism, all he said was 'I liked it, i'll leave it there'. It does come across with him at times that any sort of dance that deviates away from the traditional style that he is used to will get marked down. Modern dance these days is not the same as say 30-40 years ago.
