Totally agree. The marking is all over the place again.

Louise to go home please.

However, its total BS we get a Dance Off with 4 couples remaining. Should just be the couple with lowest combined total. Its pure manipulation.”

I'll second that! Claudia might actually stand a chance then

I don't get it either, I really like him and his partnership with Jo. Loved his quickstep tonight, wasn't so keen on the AT. It will be gutting for them if they're top of the leaderboard but still end up in the dance-off.”

I think he will be in the DO. He does not have the popularity of the other contestants. Which will be further enflamed tonight as he finished top.

I don't normally post on here but I must have been watching a different show from the judges. In my opinion that AT from Ore and Joanne was never worth 3 10's. In fact I wouldn't have given it any 9's. Loved Claudia and AJ quick step. Danny and Oti have always been my favourites but threw some votes to Claudia and AJ. Wasn't keen on Louise and Kevin's samba either,way overmarked. Dance off will be interesting.

If Will had not withdrawn there would have been 5 at this stage. Would 2 have been eliminated

Finally got my voting sorted Ore and Claudia for me. I've pretty much accepted that Ore will be bottom two.

No probably not - we would have 4 in the final like the last few years

Think it would have been a four way final over 2 shows maybe? Haven't they done that before?

Definitely not.
Would if have been 4 to the final then eliminate two part way through?

Thats odd - it didn't work with firefox, but did with chrome here. Looks like they fixed a problem - just before voting closed........

So at present they have

Ore 4
Danny 3
Claudia and Louise 2 each

What if

Claudia wins pub vote, gets 4, takes her to 6
Danny get 3, takes him to six
Ore gets 2, takes him to 6
Louise gets 1, takes her to 3

Still an ore/louise dance off..

Danny wins vote, gets 4 goes to 7
Claudia gets 3, goes to 5
Louise gets 2, goes to 4
Ore gets 1, goes to 5

Still an ore/louise dance off.

Urghh. The thought of it *shudders*

We have to have one of the cliftons in the final and previous to tonight i was opting for Kevin just because i really like Louise but after tonight i hope its Joanne.

It will be interesting if that does happen.

The judges would have to pray for mistakes from Claudia, as If Claudia repeats her QS performance, then I can't see that either of Louise's dances can beat her. The judges have to mark the DO solely on the dace off performance.

Yeh right!

Ooh yes, that sounds much more likely. Ignore what I said.

Thought it was a fantasic show tonight as exciting and entertaining this week as last week's was lacklustre. All the dances were enthralling and nobody deserves to go home.

The standout moment though was Oti's leap at the end of their second dance. It was incredible, I had to watch it back in slow-motion to fully appreciate the trust it must have required and the amount of control it took.

All votes to Claudia tonight, first time this series. Been voting for Louise, but that second dance just wasn't for her.”

I got through in the end to cast me and my household's 12 votes.
