Out of Simon and Thom, who would you have put through and why, had you been in the judges' shoes?

Thom.

Simon

Simon

Don't know. All I kept thinking was neither of them should have been there in the first place.

+1

It was a close one. Both danced better than they did in the main show but I thought Simon edged it.

Thom because he looked like he wanted to be there - Simon is a bit of a puzzle really.

I would have saved Thom, does that make me a racialist ?

I think Tham, as he seems genuinely to have grown as a dancer, as well as become more accessible than he used to in terms of personality. Also, Simon is clearly not popular with the public so I'd put him out of his misery early. If he is now a regular fixture in the DO it will just feel painful to watch him at all times (and I actually like and have voted for him in the past).

Hard choice as I found neither entertaining.

As much as I love Thom and wanted him to stay I think Simon was slightly better
Thom isn't as good as Steve, Simon, Mark or Jake but certainly better than Scott who should have gone in Week 1

Thom and Iveta.... I enjoyed watching them and Thom has progressed so much....

I didn't enjoy either routine but I would have saved Simon.

Thom as Simon has been already been in the bottom and saved .
Latin V ballroom ....ballroom easier to perform imo .
I also don't like Simon ,he has one giant ego .

I like Thom more, and voted for him this week, but Simon was better in the dance off.

Thom is a better dancer than Darren Gough and Michael Vaughan but he is still fundamentally a Dad Dancer. Simon is much better.

I'm not interested in anybody's personality or lack of one.

Why, because he was born in Zimbabwe?

Me too - I think if I were head judge I would have abstained. Don't think it is in the rules that you 'can't' abstain.

Think this would have set the cat amongst the pigeons.

Simon

Simon but Thom shouldn't have been there. Should have been Scott and Judy. With Scott to go.

The judges are supposed to judge on the dancing, not on whose personality they like the best. Simon was clearly better in the dance off IMO and deserved to be saved.

Okay I admit it, I'm a Manc ist.

Simon, he is a better dancer. However, this has spoilt the series for me. Iveta is my favourite female pro and Thom was good enough to warrant at least three more weeks.. This sort of nonsensical dance off is not without precedent unfortunately.
