I do think she was over-marked last week (but it didn't seem to matter as everyone ended up in the 'right' place on the scoreboard), but I can't believe she never got a couple of 10s this week ... that dance was amazing.

I did feel very sorry for them as I think they were really positive about their performance and then - meh!

I've voted 6 times for her tonight ... the first time I've voted this series.

They always undermark her, she deserved 10s. Everything was amazing, they are so stingy with their 10s when it comes to Claudia.

That was clearly a 10. I thought AJ did well to keep down to her level. Clever choreography ( not sure it's all AJ I think pro Argentine tango dancers help). Not sure what was wrong with it?

I was just going to post that ... if Louise had done that dance, they would have invented a whole new voting system for her , (once the judges had come out of their swoons at how amazing it was).

Would have thought their Charleston, AS and AT deserved some tens.

It was phenomenal and deserved a few 10s, she must wonder why she bothers.

She was in the air for a bit too long, and the length of time up there made her a tad ungainly at times, that may be why. The bits on the floor though were excellent.

I was actually wandering this myself?? She was just as good as Louise AND Ore tonight so I'm baffled. I dont think the judges always take them seriously enough. They have also had some of the worst music in the show and have had to overcome the 'producers' constantly putting them in silly kiddie costumes!!

The interesting thing is the week when the judges finally give some really good comments was probably their weakest dance yet (the jive)!!

Thought tonight Claudia & AJ were completely under marked, IMO that was their best dance.

As always, the over marking went to Ore,in both dances, particularly the cha, cha challenge, I didn't see any hip movement at all.😏

As for Ed, most weeks he's quite entertaining but for me tonight's routine was just too cringeworthy but don't suppose it will be a problem for him.

there's no rule on air time limit... they deserve a 10 for wow factor alone.

The scores for Claudia and AJ were disgusting and there are serious issues of favoritism. Both Claudia's and Danny's Cha Cha were as good as Louise's, of not better. Shame on the judges!

On a more positive note, the under-marking does seem to have gotten them quite a few votes judging from reaction on here. I'm hoping that and the rebound vote can see her safely through this week.

I wasn't saying there was, just thought the longer she was up there it became a little ungainly. Maybe that was why she didn't get a 10. It was just an idea as to why she was given 9's.

not only here... twitter and youtube comments are voicing the same sentiment.

Maybe the twitterati have never seen a real AT competition, how would you tell. The fault was not really with what Claudia did, but with AJ. This is a common theme in the comments already.

What do Claudia and AJ have to do to get a 10?
Change their names!

Spot on!

Who knows?

Their dance this evening was phenomenal and worthy of at least a couple of 10's.

Thank you, that's great to hear.

Have to say that after tonight its obvs the judges 3 for the final pick are danny,louise and ore..
The bit i saw thru the rubbish camerawork on the chacha cha ....claudia was better than louise, who was also not as good as danny!! MAKING SURE that both FINISHED WITH 6 POINTS. AS PREDICTED BY MOI !
Claudia was underscored in both dances IMO...and I haven't voted for her...yet.

Not sure what anyone can criticise AJ for. If some people were unhappy with the choreography fair enough, but he didn't put it together. It was the first time he's even danced AT. I must say, I haven't seen the "common theme" you're referring to, but if there is one it's misguided.

So glad that people think this too - thought she definitely deserved a 10 or two and going by the comments I thought she'd get them. Must be frustrating for her to get positive comments but miss out on a perfect score and have no idea how to improve (except from Craig who actually gave an opinion).

Thought that her and Danny were the best two in the Cha Cha Challenge (and thought Rinder was ahead of Ore), and that Louise wasn't all that. Glad Claudia's got more support after tonight though, I do hope she can gatecrash the Danny/Louise/Ore final they want.

Claudia and AJ's routine was shamefully, and obviously undermarked. Is this because a previous olympist gymnast has won before, and they don't want to risk it happening again?

I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking this. Had to vote for her this week, sorry Rob.

Well if you can't even get the dance they did right, it shows how much notice you took to make an informed judgement.
