So you didn't vote for her because she did 1 below par dance? Maybe you just liked Greg better regardless?
Up until Saturday I thought she deserved a vote from me which is why I gave it. She didn't deserve it on Sat though and I think a lot of people thought that which is why she was in the dance off. It wasn't so much that she was bad (which she was) it was more that the judges refused to acknowledge it. |

We'll see I'm grumpy with her. She looked amazing last week in training! |

I doubt there's many people who thought she was better than Greg on Saturday and everyone knows that the judges were lying through their teeth about how great it was. Ian and Karen both told the truth on that one.

No one I know who watched the show has even mentioned it, mind you none of them were fans of Greg or Claudia come to that. |

What the judges do is not her problem - so to justify her position in the dance off with that is pure spite. Craig said on the show tonight that Danny did in fact have a noticeable error with his dance, but I'd imagine you don't think the judges were being unfair with their marks in that instance? |

So what happened?
I like Claudia and AJ and really want them to have a breakthrough dance to stop this yawnfest of a series being so predictable. |

No question in our minds that Greg should have stayed. I don't support either of these contestants, just saying what I saw. |

I have to agree, I thought it was awful and I'm not talking about errors with the choreography - and there were plenty of those. There was no rhythm in the body, it was very "stompy" weight too far back, there were timing issues, no bounce action.

When ABC kicked things off I knew we were in for a good show.
So pleased Ed & Katy's are still in cos they're a blast on ITT. They're such a unique partnership. And ever since Neil's dance class the other day I've been fantasising bout an Ed Balls Cossacking Showdance ![]() The Friday Panels this year have been so much better - even if the odd person plugs their book or music it's mentioned briefly and they're properly into the show instead of pretending (badly). |

Although I am firmly behind Ed, I have to say that Danny comes across well in the interviews and has said some very down to earth matter of fact things at times. I like him and he is a great dancer. Some of the routines (particularly the ballroom) have been very good but some I have really not liked at all (the AT being the prime one, but mainly the crazily paced ones) - not his fault though; Oti has been paired with a free revving engine and loves to press the gas peddle. He would be a worthy winner.

I find that odd though. I vote for who I want to win, regardless of a slip-up. Everyone makes mistakes and they've all had to handle poor music or questionable choreography at one time or another. I don't vote for the comedy contestants or duffers, but the ones with great potential. Claudia's been very impressive with her ballroom, not so hot with Latin, but I wouldn't stop voting for her because of a weak performance, no way ! And especially not now because I want her to get through. If she doesn't make the Final so be it, but she mustn't go out before Ed Balls at least, that would be very unfair.

yes on the training video on the website it is looking good that paso shame about the music - though my nutty brother who does a lot of latin showdance choreography likes it and thinks if Dave Arch uses the music from the middle of the remix it will be good
I like it too and think it could make quite an intense, dynamic and interesting dance. But unlike nutty brother, I know natheeeeeeng

I agree the jive was not good, but she can't really do a lot about what the judges say. |

Not a lot Claudia can do about that though is there? What do you want her to do- pipe up during the judges comments and say 'come on guys, it was a bit s**t really wasn't it?!'

I agree but it doesn't mean that people have to vote for her. They can if they want to give her pass (I wouldn't say it was a wrong choice I've done it before and for all the talk of him being robbed Greg fans have done it before). This is what the judges/producers don't get by patting her on the head they are not helping her or AJ in the long term or the program. Neither will learn they did anything wrong or if they knew it already so they can't improve that doesn't help anyone.
I honestly don't think the judges care that much about Claudia anyway- they have their designated 3 they want for the final, and she's not one of them. I do agree that it is strange after all these years, that the judges don't seem to have cottoned on to the fact that bigging people up when they clearly don't deserve it, doesn't do the contestant any favours in the long run. |
