Other dancers are commended for their 'performance' and yet Judy threw her heart and soul into her 'performance' and still ended up below the dreadful Scott and Alison who 'performed' her dance well but just walked around. Unfair on Judy, I hope she's safe tonight.
I agree. Give her a vote!

I agree lightonmyfeet! I love the likes of Steve and Sunetra. Mark too. But Judy is lovely and has improved. Whereas Alison and Scott haven't. Their ballroom and every dance, respectively are dreadful! And personally the Simon & Kristina partnership does nothing for me!

I love:

1) Steve
2) Sunetra
3) Mark
4) Frankie
5) Caroline
6) Pixie
7) Jake
-------------------
8) Judy - she's so lovely, but cannot dance well.
9) Thom
-------------------
10) Simon
11) Alison
12) Scott

Judy's Charleston was awful but she was more entertaining than Scott or Alison.

I voted for her and it was definitely the fact they scored her lower than Scott, who did as far as I can tell the worst Charleston they've ever had on the show (WORSE THAN WIDDY and God it pains me to say that anyone was worse than Widdy), that motivated me to do it.
I agree Monkseal! And I gave her a vote, much for the same reasons- she did not deserve to be marked lower than Scott, or be at the bottom of the leaderboard. I do think that was unfair and both Scott and Alison should have been below her. I do think Scott's was the worst Charleston! Something wrong 'ere. Judy's Charleston entertained me, whereas Scott's did not. And she really did put her heart and soul into the performance this time. Judging by the amount of people saying they've voted for her on here, I really hope she's safe!

I do too - much prefer her in Halloween to seeing Scott or Alison!

Not even to put down other couples - they gave that Charleston the same score as they gave her waltz in week 1 and only marginally more than her cha cha, where she barely moved. It's ridiculous that they didn't recognise her improvement.

judy is definitely improving, that dance quite suited her, i thought anton sold her short ( as he always does to all his partners), and most of all she has a sense of humour and is very resilient and not at all sorry for herself like some i could mention (scott). vote for judy!

Yes I didn't understand that at all. I think he's done a great job bringing her out of her shell and they have real rapport as a couple. Judy deserves huge credit for her humour and application but Anton is working it for her.

I have to say that i really enjoyed the armography in Judy's Charleston, yes it lacked swivel but it was a better dance than Scott, Simon and Alison. I normally hate the intro VT's but I thought their VT was quite clever .
My thoughts too, loved their VT. Judy IS improving, but I was disappointed in Anton's choreography, I have loved all his charlestons so far, they are always very funny, no matter who his partner is, but thought this one was a bit low key.
Scott was much better tonight and Alison tried - but so flat footed.

i think he plays her as a joke contestant which she is not, even though she is not a particularly good or natural dancer. he's partners her the same way he partnered widdicombe, which is an insult.

i actually think its her robust and resilient personality and humour that is slightly humanising him into realising she's an actual person not a foil for his vain antics to be the star of the show.

Me too - Craig's score was meaner than it should have been yet Judy just keeps on smiling and takes whatever is thrown at her - nothing is going to ruin the love she has for it all!

Wow it's actually quite depressing to see so many are voting for someone as wooden and dull as her.

I have really warmed to Judy. From very inauspicious beginnings she has become warm and funny and I really do think she has improved. I was tempted to register to vote to keep her tonight. Then I got a grip of myself. It would be sad to see her go but it would be fair (Scott aside)

Something to do with sparkling wine perhaps?

I disagree most vehemently with your entire post.

Anton has always been given the short straw yet has produced some of the most watchable dances (ok, for all the wrong reasons ) I was disappointed with his choreography tonight, it's usually much funnier, but Judy is loosening up and clearly enjoying herself, she is a good sport. He most certainly is not treating her as a joke contestant.

I've voted for Scott to counterbalance this. I actually felt sick watching Judy tonight... some credit for actually making an effort this time, but part of me wishes she hadn't bothered!

As much as I don't think Daily Star is reliable they do get vote leaks correct and they are claiming Judy is topping the public vote

Judy has improved greatly, and I like the way she can laugh at herself, especially when she get's cruel comments. However, I did feel a bit sorry for her last night, slightly embarrassing for a woman in her 50's getting thrown about with her legs in the air, showing her knickers and whatever, especially with her son in the audience

Save?
A nice enough person, but "I'd have taken the bung out of the bottom of the dinghy."
Either she, or Scott to go.
Alison is no better but will be kept in.
If only .

I can watch Alison's flat-footed hoofs. I can chortle at all Scott's trainwrecks.

When Judy's dancing ?... ffw, Or cup of tea. Or put the washing on.

I'd happily vote for her on CBB or IACGMOOH (on her dry personality alone) but never in a million years on a dance/rhythm show. .

I was going to divide my three online votes between Steve, Mark and Judy, but decided to give them all to the lovely Judy as she needed them the most. Yes, she had timing issues in that Charleston but it was far more entertaining than Scott's -- she was definitely unfairly underscored. Hopefully, she is safe.
