I notice finally after all these weeks of Anita being overlooked and cruelly undermarked by the judges - she finally and deservedly got high marks and praise for her efforts...

but on here a few obviously feel she is not deserving of being on the same level as Jay and Georgia?

Hmmm



Coming from a non-acting/performance background I think we should be praising her for giving such a showstopping performance!

Come on Anita!!!

Let's hope so! The show needs a bit of competition. Sling Katie in there (who I am fond of) and it would be a fab final for me

I don't think she's a threat to anybody. But I was just saying on another thread that her Paso went down a storm on my Twitter timeline (and on the Strictly Facebook page) but not so much here. DS does get a bit fan-wars around this time of each series though!

I'm a G & g fan. As much I think they're better than anita and gleb, I don't feel the need to pick holes in others dancing if they're seen as competition, I'd rather talk positively about the ones I like

I think Anita has done brilliantly to have had no training...her enthusiasm, hard work and performance are second to none. As much as I preferred her tango to last nights dance, I was pleased to see her getting some recognition.

Well we don't know how much public support she has so she could be a threat yes, I somehow doubt it though as last night showed up her limitations imo. I like Anita and she is my 3rd fav after Jay and then Georgia and I have said all along that she has been undermarked....except last night I thought she was considerably overmarked. I actually hated the dance tbh and it reminded me of Kevin and Susannah's Paso in as much as being all about the Pro. She had very little to do really and her shaping was awful, not to mention a couple of errors also.

Absolutely she's a threat and they should watch out. She always performs well and never seems to have a bad week. They shouldn't underestimate her. I love watching her over the others who have know dance backgrounds i.e. Helen.

Nope, Georgia is not even a threat. Her and Anita are fighting for 2nd place and I hope Antia grabs it, much better then over-rated Georgia

Definitely a lot of people like her and Gleb. She is my second favourite I feel she is the best female dancer and would love her to see in the final as she has been fantastic every week.

I also think she is doing better in the public vote than some people think it wouldnt surprise me if she is in the top 3 of voting.

I think Anita and Georgia are probably the only two realistic threats to Jay. I would have said Katie if she'd been a better, more versatile dancer, although I imagine all four of these are doing well in the voting. It's impossible to really say of course as we don't know what the exact figures are.

I don't think she's a threat at all, and I say that as someone who likes her.

Definitely not. I think she's good, but people loved her dance because of Gleb. He is putting too much of the focus on himself to cover up her technique. If she'd danced that exact routine with Tristan or Kevin, for example, it would have been different.
I do like Anita, but Georgia and Jay are miles ahead.

Agree with this - though I think these three (Anita, Georgia, Jay) will more than likely end up being the final three.

Well Natalie was miles ahead of Abbey but Abbey beat her.

Agreed. It'll be Jay, Georgia, Anita and Peter in the final. Helen missing out in the semis.

I think Katie will get there rather than Peter...but agree with the rest.

I think production want more males, so I can see two males being in the final as that hasn't happened in awhile.

Votes count in the end..I can see him being bottom two tonight and maybe going..even if he doesn't i think hell be in the bottom 2 in the weeks to come ...can't see him beating the likes of helen or kellie in a dance off

BIB, if only we had more people like you here...

Anita is no threat to Jay, no one is a threat to him as he's going to win.
To Georgia, maybe, but unlikely. However, I can see her reaching the final, to me is between her and Helen, I don't think Kellie has public support to carry her through the final but of course I might be wrong

I hope Jay, Georgia and Anita will be in the final - it will be a cracking final if they are.

I could live with that.

I agree with that...

Yes.
Or rather,in my befuddled mind I had this vision of a bar punch up with Anita judo throwing Georgia through a window then punching out a startled Jay.

Yes, I can see Katie just pipping Helen in the semis myself.


Agreed

Happened last year.

But then Georgia stands up and karate-somethings Anita. Ta-daaaaah!
