For me, Claudia was better, and Danny best.
Louise Cha Cha cha

this is my order too.
My feeling is that if she'd been dancing with anyone but Kevin, the posters on here would be happy with her mark. They're not anti Louise, they are anti the Cliftons. I have no idea why and the general public are not anti the Cliftons. When Aljaz and Jeanette get married are you going to be anti them as well?

You mean the ones that were there and could see all the dancers and not just what the camera was showing at any time?

If they want to create an impression of competition, how about Claudia getting some 10s like many, many people are saying she deserved? They are backing the wrong horse in Louise - she looked like a drunk staggering at one point in the CCC!

You keep saying that, but the truth is that others danced better than her and lost out.

Not true. I personally would've still felt the same towards her dances and how I find her on the show if she had another pro.
Didn't think it was a good night for Louise at all, certainly not better than Claudia or Ore and certainly shouldn't be tied for top, Danny outclassed her in both dances.

I like Kevin and don't like Louise, and she staggered. Not everyone thinks the same.

Perhaps its a case of anti Clifton bias

I opened a post about this last week and asked why they got all the flak.
Someone mentioned that it isn't just Kevin and Karen, but Joanne and J&Ks parents have been on as well in the past so it felt like
Cliftons, Meet the Cliftons .............

That certainly isn't true for me as I like Kevin (although the partnership with Louise leaves me a bit cold this year). The problem is that on tv we are dependant on the camera work and don't necessarily see what the judges see, but equally they may miss what the camera is showing us. The camera wasn't focussed on Louise and Kevin very much - and there was a lot of Claudia and AJ- but what I saw was unimpressive - at 0.37 ish for e.g. Louise looks to be being dragged into hold by Kevin

She looks much better when in the quadrant nearer to the judges but overall I thought she was very unrhythmic and hesitant compared to Danny, Ore and Claudia.

This is the exact order I picked before the judges gave out their scores - was shocked!

Not at all, I like Louise, I just happen to think she was over marked this week, especially in the challenge.
Why on earth would I be anti Aljaz and Janette when they get married??
Looking at the comments on the Guardian blog, the majority seem to be agreeing with the OP.

Ain't that the truth (though judges won't land her with a bad judges choice that's for sure.)
Kevin to be bridesmaid ... again!

Ladygardener I completely agree. What have they done to offend ? I actually like Kevin, Jo and Karen.
I don't think we see enough. There were one or two bits from her I quite liked, but it was quite a different performance to the others since it was mainly in closed or open hold. The other performances were more outward looking and crowd pleasing. I didn't like her looking down and think generally her head needs to be more up. Danny was maybe a bit uncontrolled on rewatching and Claudia and Ore a bit lacking in sharpness.
Louise was clumpy and not at all precise and flowing as Danny certainly was. -agree with the order lots have posted. Definite fix going on here and hate that the judges try and sway things rather than simply marking the best dancer highest, as they should do.

It's really feel sorry for Danny, Claudia and Ore. They come out and do proper Cha cha steps for a song they have never heard before and then to be told, no your were not good enough, must be disheartening. Why try??
