Already knew result and wasn't surprised when I saw that Claudia had got through, however having just watched the dance off AND Tess once again saying that the contestants would be judged just on that one dance can't believe that Greg wasn't voted through. CLaudia wobbled so much she was like a wheeble. Agree that over the course of the series she has been by far the better dancer but why do they say every week that the judges must judge just on that dance when clearly the better dancer doesn't go through.
Greg was Robbed

Hard to call and saying that as a Greg fan but they probably took into account that they scored Claudia higher on the show.
It definitely wasn't as clear cut a robbery as Jamelia last year!

I agree with you, on the night Greg was the better dancer, Claudias jive was not good, but the judges wanted us to think differently, so I wasn't surprised when she was saved, wrongly in my opinion.
Greg danced better on the night. Most other weeks I'd say that Claudia was the better dancer but the judges are supposed to judge it on the dance off dance only.
Claudia was pretty poor actually and the judges praise of her jive was baffling.

Thankfully she was saved as their would have been only one woman left, The judges made the right choice.

This time last year Jay was the only man alongside 5 women, no one seemed bothered about losing Peter Andre

I agree with you. I do hope they don't give her and AJ anything infantile.

I don't understand, surely the judges are ment to judge on the dance not on the sex of the couple, seriously why would it matter if there was only one woman left in the competition.

Actually it was really Ed's time to go. I thought it was a poor jive and Greg was better on the night.

'Hey Mickey'' was a fave song of hers or so she said so maybe the bad music choices are not solely down to the producers.
Claudia's a ballroom girl - that's what she excels in. The jive routine showed her weaknesses, but the routine was trickier than Greg's, and she danced it better the second time. Greg danced it with his usual mediocrity both times so fair do's really. Also they couldn't lose yet another girl - that would have been 7 in a row if she'd gone.
Totally disagree. He was the second worst dancer remaining and Claudia has had several standout dances. Don't think Greg has had any.

They did and she was better in my opinion. She won't make the final, but I agree with this decision.

Yes, she has outdanced him every week including this week.

This presumably is why they made that choice. They wouldn't allow the cast to go down to only one female if they could possibly avoid it. I've been supporting Claudia throughout but I'd have saved Greg tonight on the basis of these two dances.

Genuinely a bit surprised anyone would say otherwise - this was one of the more obvious dance offs so far for me.
I think they were very evenly matched. It was a tough choice - Was surprised all four judges went to save Claudia as I didn't think it was quite a clear cut as that...

Totally agree. The judges take the public for idiots. They have a system now, they will
overmark in the main show, so in case these people are in the DO, they can save them and say we did score them higher in the main show. They are two steps ahead of the voting public, trying save their favourites. Scrap the DO and send the lowest scored couple home.
I am happy for Claudia to win, but she made mistakes in the main show and in the DO.
I like Claudia and Greg and would have been upset whichever one had left but Greg definitely danced better than Claudia in the dance off.
Why do the judges keep up the pretence that they judge on DO alone when they so obviously do not?

As we all know, it's a farce.
Greg this week, Ed Balls if he is the dance off next week, then Judge Rinder, then Claudia, leaving their three favourites for the final.
So blatant you wonder why they bother trying to explain the decision.
Claudia could have made a complete mess of it and Greg danced like a pro and he still would have gone.

If you really think that Claudia is the judges favourite then you have not been watching this show.
