Hear hear. The judges love for Ore is misplaced. Claudia is far better than him. I hope their bias does not rob her of her place in the final.

I don't appreciate being told I am biased against her as I am not, I wouldn't mind her winning. I do not sit there watching her dance hoping she goes wrong or its awful because I am biased against her. In fact I was really hoping this week she would tick all the boxes as they say, but she didn't. None of them did. I could list all the things that annoyed me in the 4 other couples last night but the thread is about Claudia.

I don't mind going against the flow of social media and don't expect anyone or everyone to agree with me, life would be boring if we all agreed on everything, but to just dismiss my opinion with the phrase "bias" I find frankly insulting.”

Reminds me of last year and the public following for Anita. Yet to the very end her feet irritated me, but I would rather she had stayed over Kellie.

I like them both but Ore's performance always edges it for me. I thought Ore and Louise were spot on in their characterization this week. The rest could have been anyone.

This member of the public certainly doesn't agree !! I wanted Ed in the final and I want Ore in it now. So sorry, not everyone agrees.

Well you obviously love Claudia, but not all of us agree. I don't want her in the final, and she certainly shouldn't have an automatic place. Sorry!

No need to be sorry. You obviously love Ore. Each to the own!!

I agree I would like him there over Claudia too. I find his dancing while flawed, like hers, has more light and shade. I find it and him more interesting to watch.

It's not about love with most people. It's about judgement or facts. Claudias last few dances have been crowd pleasers but short of dance content. Based on the fact that he's actually working on the dances Ore is better than her. I think she is capable of outdancing him, but she hasn't, because she hasn't really tried.

She doesn't chose the choreography but I prefer someone who has learned the dance and appreciates it because I do love dance.

I really don't think Claudia will make it though as the judges will almost definitely have her bottom of the leader board. Will just have to hope that she gets a lot of public votes”

Me too. As non dancers Ore and Claudia have done extremely well.

Well I am no expert but what I saw was a dull lifeless dance from Ore and a vibrant enjoyable one from Claudia. I see her trying really hard and in fairness so does Ore but she engages me and he does not. I can only speak for myself of course.

They are BOTH trying hard.

I wondered about that lift at the end but for me that was AJ's fault, not hers so I wouldn't have punished HER for it.

Claudia to win. Ore to come second and Danny third. This is what I'd like to happen. What will happen is this. Ore will go next week. Louise will win. Danny will come second and Claudia will be third. I hope I am wrong. Unless Ore or Claudia have already gone but Louise and Danny will still be winners.

I agree, and let's face it the choreography where possible is designed to show off her gymnastic ability. I know I'm banging on again about advantages some of the contestants have.
As far as I know, like Ed, Ore has had no dance training and now that Ed has gone my three votes are going to him.

Funny thing...last week I thought Claudia was undermarked for her AT....this week I don't think she deserved the ten from multi-overmarker Bruno.
Never been keen on Ore...he gives the impression he would eat himself if he could.
And if he's a non dancer then Ed Balls is Prime Minister!!

LOUISE AS CALAMITY JANE? MEH. ONCE MORE DANNY WAS THE BEST 'DANCER' ON THE NIGHT.

I think it was the arm thing... you wouldn't notice but their arms seems tangled.

If Ore was lying like you claim he is, surely the tabloids would have run the story by now ?

Ore IS a non dancer

I wanted Greg but I accepted a couple of weeks before he left that he just wasn't as good as I had hoped he would be and was living on borrowed time.

Yes of course he is a non dancer. As you said it would have come to light by now. Nothing in his background or education suggests any dance training.

Some people just take to dance better than others. I have a student at present who started classes just 7 weeks ago. He got it from the off, yet is in his middle years and hasn't learned a dance before. Already he is streets ahead of younger beginners and some that have done other dances before. I don't know why he "gets it", I wish I did because that woudl be really helpful from a teaching perspective.
