Louise was awful last night though not her fault, it was kevins choreography. hardly any quickstep in the routine at all. Just a big mess.

Claudia was the best last night.

I very much doubt it. No one warranted 10s all round. A gymnast doing gymnastics is hardly ground breaking stuff.
Exactly. And I think that this is the problem with Claudia, even though she is precise and impressive, she is after all a gymnast, so you do tend to think it's gymnastics.

I do think that this thread is very unfair, Louise's theatrical performance and musicality is there, at least for me to see.

Not with that routine. Too many "wow" lifts with wobbly transitions out.
Just as too many showtime bits in luoise's to get all 10s

Precisely why I rarely post - pedantic people on here are ridiculous. I didn't realise I was being graded on my question. What I was trying to get across is that Louise can smile, wink and do jazz hands and get 10s. Claudia can do a superb job and not get 10s. Simple as that.
For the simple reason, louse dances better than Claudia. Claudia got a ten even though it was asked for. Bruno was wrong to give it.

Sadly Louise couldn't have done the lifts or the isolations, just can't let herself go. Can't wait to see Claudia's QS if she does one - it'll be a heck of a better routine for a start than Louise's, and much quicker !

I agree. The anti-Louise business on here is preposterous at times. I don't think either Louise or Claudia were worth 10's last night, but both routines were entertaining.
I thought Louise just edged it, but it's all a matter of opinion. From the audience reaction, they appeared to enjoy Louise's performance as well.

I thought Louise was losing energy at the end bit... if you re-watch the on the top of the table section that was bit untidy... the judges was bit generous of giving her 37... Claudia isn't perfect either but she should've finished higher than Louise and Danny in my opinion.

You're on dangerous ground there . Spot the mistake in your reply
I was pleasantly surprised it didn't start "If Louise had of"

I would have probably given them all 9's for different reasons. But the judges appear to think that the further the contest progresses, the more they feel obliged to reach for a 10 to keep the "excitement" going. Not all contestants "improve" week after week with every dance, but the scores rarely reflect that at this stage.

I think the reason Louise gets 10s is due to her superior technique which the likes of me doesn't notice or care about when her routines are nice but dull and uninspiring, especially when compared to the athleticism of Claudia. Personally i'd have given 10s to Ed every week

As for the pedants, don't let it stop you posting jessanmollyl. It's against the forum rules to comment on anyones spelling or grammar so you can report the posts if you want to.
