Thom. I preferred his dance, and he is a more likeable guy.

Thom. I've really enjoyed watching him get better each week & was looking forward to seeing him improve further. He looked like he was having the time of his life too which was infectious in watching his dances. I'm gutted he's gone!

Thom and Iveta but I'll admit that I'm biased because I'm not a fan of Simon and find Kristina intolerable.

Thom because I think he had more to give. He'd steadily improved week on week.
I think Simon did the opposite; I expected so much more from him.

Neither of them. I'd have stood up, said Scott goes or nothing, and quit there on the spot if the BBC didn't like it.

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.
I voted here for Simon but Iveta seems a really lovely classy person. One of my favourites.

Thom definitely. I think Simon is marginally better but Thom has been very clearly improving and Simon had been there before.

I actually thought Thom was destined for a much better finish than this. I didn't envision him going home until the poor dancers had all gone, and even if he had survived tonight I think he'd have avoided the dance off again for some time. Simon on the other hand I think will be safe next week, then drop back in regularly, until the week where he inevitably runs into one of Pixie/Caroline/Frankie and is finally put out of his misery.

Thom, as he seemed to enjoy dancing a lot more (as Iveta said) and was improving. Simon keeps having ups and downs but his dance-off was better.

Interesting to see whether Simon can stay out of the dance-off next week ~

I would have saved Simon in the dance off, thought that the cha cha did not suit Thom at all, now if it had been his dance from last week well that's a different story , Thom was very good last week, but sadly he had to be judged on this weeks dance which was not very good at all.

Simon is the better dancer, but he started off as the better dancer.

I'm a bit disappointed in the progress Iveta and Thom have made, but Thom has still progressed more than Simon, so that is why I would have saved him, because to me the show is based on a learning to dance contest.

Simon. I didn't see the dance off so I am going on aptitude and potential. On those grounds I think Simon is the better dancer now and in the short term.

I don't agree with Len having the deciding vote. I think the decider should depend on their original score. However, this week the result would have been the same as Simon finished higher than Thom in the judges scoring.

Personally I would have kept Thom. It seems that the good old general public do not like Simon very much so better to go now rather than be in the DO every week. That would be so disheartening for him.

Thom definitely. Simon had been in the bottom two before and probably will be again in the very near future!

I don't know why people want him to be in the DO. I hope he is not in the DO.

Thom.

Simon is a better dancer but unlike Thom he is not impoving as much. The fact that Simon has already been in the dance-off twice (when there are some really bad dancers still knocking around) also suggests that he won't be around much longer (but hopefully he'll take out at least one of them before he goes).

I have a soft spot for Thom as I am a big rugby fan and still vividly remember watching him almost die live on TV (it was pretty heavy). Thom was progressing at a faster rate in both dance and personality and could have been another Ramps.

Thom because enjoy watching him more than Simon. As a judge yes, I'm biased, but don't tell anybody!

Because Len is the head judge, primarily because he is the only one of the four from the ballroom/latin world.

Neither danced that well, but I would have saved Simon, his posture was very good, and his footwork not bad.

Thom's footwork was poor, his legs were permanently bent, and he seemed to forget he had 2 arms!

I went for Simon but didn't rate either routine and don't see either as a great loss really. I think Simon did a more polished performance though, whereas Thom's looked a bit of a mess.

Probably Thom, but only because of Iveta... I've just realised how little I can remember of Thom's dances across the weeks. (these stances could almost seem contradictory, though!)

Oh, and he'd probably be more likely to be competitive in the votes in the future or something maybe.

Simon did edge it on the dancing (Thom's Cha-Cha was... not really good), but he's the type who's probably going to get no bounce whatsoever and so will need leaderboard propping to avoid just being in the dance-off week after week.

Simon, only because I don't find Thom and Iveta very engaging. However, I've looked at the tour dates for the Reunion Tour and cannot see how Simon is going to manage to fit in the practice time. So I'm torn because I'd rather support someone who is genuinely giving the programme the amount of time it deserves to practice for Saturday's show, rather than hear another celeb (and Claudia) bleating on about heavy schedules!
