Scott is so monstrously uncoordinated that he can't clap, stamp or pelvic thrust, and at all times looks like he's a single "boo!" away from a terror-induced heart attack. He's in danger at all times, let alone tonight. Every time he moves a forkful of food towards his face, tries to open a tin, navigates a staircase...he's living his life on the edge, baby.

Really, wishing for him to have further danger seems kind of like pissing in the ocean.

Scott is the new Widdy but without the comedy. He also doesn't have the charm that made Sargeant so watchable. Expect him to be around for a while.
Unfortunately the person who should have been this years comedy turn has already been booted off.

Tim had the personality & charm to pull off the humour. Scott does not.

That was pretty dire. He nearly dropped Joanne twice and he just plods. Sorry.
It seems to be Joanne who is in danger rather than Scott. That point at the end when she was dangling upside down with him only holding on to one leg could have been nasty

I couldn't decide if that was deliberate or if Scott was in the wrong place to grab both legs (the latter would suggest that as the pro, Joanne was equally if not more to blame).

As a pre-series Scott fan (before i saw him dance), even I would be happy to see him go now (and/or Judy) as more than enough interesting new dancers.

Under the Human Rights Act he should go. He's torturing the studio audience, the TV audience and Joanne, who was in fear of her life last night. She should claim asylum somewhere other than Strictly.

A BBC employee, he will be there a while longer, but he really should go this week because that was so painful to watch, he needs to be put out of his (obvious - no good trying to say you are enjoying it) misery.
Tim, Gregg and Jennifer are also BBC employees

I find Scott boring and dull. I would like him to leave this week.

I feel worried for Joanne. He's going to cause her a fracture, at least, if he attempts any more 'lifts' Better dancers have gone out and he stays in. I don't know who can be voting for him. He is an ungainly, unfunny dancer

Absolutely agree. Cannot bear Scott!

I love Scott on Radio 1 and I am sure there are plenty other people who think likewise as he seems to have a huge following. However on this show he isn't coming across too well - maybe it has something to do with Joanne, I'm not sure. Whatever it is, watching him 'dance' makes uncomfortable viewing and his face when being critiqued by the judges is like that of a naughty schoolboy caught in the middle of tying together the headmaster's shoelaces.

I am not warming to Joanne either, think she perhaps thought that she would be as popular as her brother although he is no longer the favourite that he was!!

Who votes for him? His Radio 1 audience - think he should be banned from mentioning or plugging SCD on his program. I really hope better dancers won't be sacrificed for the sake of Scott staying in.

I would love to know what Scott sees when he watches himself back. I would have thought he would be embarrassed and plead with his listeners to stop voting for him. LOL

Same here. It beggars belief how he is still there.

I feel like I'm getting old. It's the same old same old every year. I don't know what everyone is worried about, Scott won't make the final no matter what, so it doesn't really matter.

The final will be Pixie, Frankie and Jake with an outsider of Steve if he continues to improve. Might as well dispense with the formalities,

Me too. And his face when he is criticised is shameful really. He has to go.

I hope he'll be in the dance off but will be shocked if this actually happens....

He won't be in any dance off for a few more weeks yet.

He is so bad and presents such an unlikeable persona on TV that viewers will vote him in so that they can enjoy a few more weeks of laughs at his expense.


Happens every year. Find the most useless competitor, encourage them to continue making fools of themselves and then make them suffer more of the same for another week.


Rather like in Victorian times when people used to pay to be entertained by the sad antics of the inmates in various lunatic asylums.

But it's a pity someone has to go out early, just so that can happen !

He should have gone last week and given the Gentleman that Tim is another week...

He should just stop moving round the floor..

Perhaps they should stop training as much as they claim if he survives. As it is clearly a waste of energy given that he appears to stomp unrhythmically through everything & still get support.

Trouble is, that seems to be an integral part of the show, wherever it is shown.

Make sure that there are one or two joke / incompetent contestants. Make sure, that, regardless of a actual audience voting figures, (which can never be verified), that those joke / incompetent contestants go on for much longer than they ever deserve

Losing one or two decent contestants who really try is just collateral damage; they are sacrificed to the ratings.



Even better for the producers if the joke / incompetent contestant sulks or visibly shows resentment at any criticism however justified. They may have hoped that Judy would have cooperated but although she is not particularly talented she tries, she takes part with good grace and accepts criticism without sulking or pouting.

Can't wait to see their final dance

Could be their best ever - with all the pressure off.
