BIB - True, my sis felt down the stairs and sprained her ankle and walked around with the pain and went to the GP two days later and he was so furious, told her off and sent her to A&E.

Well said Ann. There have been some really nasty comments on here about Anastasia which, thankfully, only come from a few but they do tend to say the same thing time after time. I don't have a problem with her and I think Laura has good reason to have a bye. I hope she recovers so that she can take part next week.

I am afraid that is DS for you there are always some people behind keyboards that spit out there bile and imo it is like a competition to see who can make the nastiest comment.

If Anastasia had got the least votes instead of Melvin and was out of the competition people would be complaining that it wasn't fair. As she couldn't dance in the dance off. If Melvin was so good people should have voted for him.

Stop the sobbing story for Anastasia she survived two dance off's so get over it!

Maybe one day people will realize that when they open a thread asking "Why don't people like so and so?" it is just an invitation for every nasty comment possible.

I'm with you, OP.

Never understood the "logic" that:

Dancing on Saturday and being scored and being up for public vote and then not dancing because you risk SERIOUS injury which could open a surgical wound but remaining in the competition due to receiving MORE votes from the general public

is less acceptable than

Injuring your ankle during rehearsals and not facing a vote at all, despite the fact that you may have been the worst dancer this week and could have gone home.

It's perplexing. Perhaps people were just sore there was no dance off?! Personally, I think the public should have the ultimate voice every week BUT, in any event, Melvin was awful two weeks in a row and despite Anastasia's injury/limited ability that week, she still received more votes!

she should've been given a bye or taken one instead of doing the Salsa

You do not know that at all. I do not know that it wasn't that. But you know thinking you had damaged yourself that way would be beyond stressful and panic inducing so you are really scraping the barrel. Again.

OK, I'll explain it again carefully .
She was told prior to dancing on the show that night by her doc/a doc/whoever NOT to dance . SHE chose to ignore that and participate . Part of participation is doing the dance off if you are in the bottom two . She refused .
So , she felt fine and dandy to dance , but didn't want to do the dance off and potentially go home .End of story .
She was either unfit to participate or fit to participate .She chose the second option then changed her mind . She can't cherry pick when she fancies dancing . You either pee or get off the pot 🚽, you don't meander off in mid flow leaving a mess behind you .
Laura wisely obeyed her physio and chose not to be so arrogant as to ignore the pro advice . Thus she avoided the chaos Anastacia caused with her refusal to take advice and throw a diva strop .Good for Laura , very wise .

OK she did well but I still think she has an easy ride.

Well imo, the swings had highs and lows, the slide started off well but went downhill, the roundabout was very repetitive and predictable and the seesaw was up and down.

And none of it was anything like as good as the playground I went to last week despite everyone around me telling me it was better.

So there.

And I will say this again very slowly...The Producers made the decision, they caused the chaos when quite easily they could have deferred the dance off to a double elimination the following week. It wasn't a diva strop fgs she was probably terrified. I know I would be if I felt my scar tissue was ripping.

There really are some nasty people on this thread. They aren't fit to lick Anastacia's dancing shoes.

Is it because they don't agree with you? Each to their own in their opinions.

No that isn't true I feel people should have not been horrible to anastasia as other celebs have been injured and taken byes so wish people had acted like they have with Laura's injury rather than targeting a woman who survived breast cancer twice for not wanting to rip her mastectomy scars and make it worse. I feel that people seem to want her out based on that first week when tonight she danced well

Maybe she should look after herself and not take part in something that is going to cause her damage. I know that SCD wants to be inclusive but Anastsia needs to take good care of herself. SCD is hard.

That isn't my point vile internet trolls shouldn't abuse anyone who has an injury and can't dance

Maybe, but that doesn't make the point moot.

I imagine she thought they would be just fine and got a very nasty shock.

She can dance but she does need to be careful about her scar tissue and therefore shouldn't have taken part. I say this as someone who likes her music but doesn't particularly think much of her on SCD.

I am not exclusively an Anastasia fan. Her dance tonight was one of my favourites but I just felt people were nasty. I didn't agree with people trolling laura about giovanni and Katie either. I do vote differently every week. I voted tamekas Charleston as it was good but not a fan of her, I like Claudia and Aj in movie week and Lesley Joseph last week.

I didn't know this was actually a fetish. I might have given them a sniff if she'd asked.

I have respect for what she has gone through, but thousands of normal people with hardly any money who have suffered those issues and come out, I had rather kiss the ground they walk on than Anantacia's shoes.

All the more reason not to do anything that will cause further damage. That is why she should have gone out earlier. More is going to expected of her and I do hope she doesn' t suffer any damage to her scar tissue.

I like her, its Brendan i can't stand.
