They have fixed the scoreboard so Ore has the best chance of reaching the final. And Claudia will go out in a dance off with either Louise or Danny. And if Ore still gets to the dance off they have given themselves an argument to pick him over Claudia.
Its a complete tribute to overmarking and undermarking.”

It'll backfire and they'll have to send Louise packing - score

Danny's Salsa felt a little safe to me. Maybe I'm jaded after that Samba he did, lol, but this felt less energetic and that last leap into his arms from the platform ... I honestly thought he was going to miss her, he seemed to stumble slightly, but then she came at him like a bullet to make sure she got there before the music stopped.

He usually does more than that - do yourself a favour watch Ramps and Simon Webb's they move more than Ore did.

Should there be a message saving whom you voted for I voted refreshed the screen and then voted and refreashed and after doing it the third time it said I'd used all my votes should it have said whom I voted for?

Whilst I disagree with your opinion of Ore's performance, it should be noted that the pros don't choreograph the AT themselves usually. So if anyone thinks Joanne did Ore no favours in that dance, just remember that she wasn't the choreographer on it as every other dance, apart from the Charleston, she has done herself and she usually showcases Ore.

I believe the royal School of Ballet has a very fine morris team, and folk dance is part of the curriculum.

I've nothing against him personally (although I hated the 'look at me' stops in his QS way to convince the public you're not arrogant dude) but like Louise he wasn't good and very over-marked tonight IMO.

I felt really sorry for Craig tonight. I agreed with all his comments but he was really coming under attack from the other judges. Claudia's Rumba was not good, lots of stop/start and I swear that when she came out of the first spin she over balanced and lent into AJ to steady herself. It wasn't mentioned by the judges, but AJ had his back to them so its possible they didn't see, but the camera angle showed us.

My thoughts exactly. Reminded me of the outcry on DS when Gio did the same think to Laura. AJ should have known better than to try that and leave Claudia standing in the corner watching him twirl.

I thought Ore did a pretty good job keeping up with Jo though, lol. She was going a mile a minute there. But wasn't there a leap in the dance somewhere? We saw it on ITT this week during training VT's and again here before the dance, but I didn't see it during the dance.

Musical theatre needs dancing skills - it teaches them from basics upward. He's been taught how to move, train, learn, and create, choregrahy and pose, and to act a dance . Some musicals have recognisable dances in them - often ballroom scenes. There also all the Charlestons, Fosse, comic and country dances that feature in so many of Strictly's highest scoring routines and winning show dances. The people on arts eds course are taught how to do what the Strictly pros do in their versions of Chicago or Westside story - but better.
He actually was in the ensemble for Wicked

I agree, totally. Whether its scripted or not its just cringe worthy to watch and totally unprofessional. Oddly I can never recall Craig shouting at Len for something he has said, its always Len mouthing off to Craig. So much for the wisdom of age then.

He was showcased - he moved from pose to pose, after starting with a stationary faff. It just looked like a pointless. substitute for actually learning to do anything else.
The judges then gushed about his acting , and movement - neither of which were apparent at all.

Yeah, he really egged that on didn't he, well everyone did to be fair to Ore. Tess sitting with his parents at the start talking about them, then mentioning them to Ore again when he walks over at the end of the dance and finally Ore going for it AGAIN in the Clauditorium as he tries to hold back the tears .... god that was so weird to watch.
I get people say he is a very emotional guy, and fair enough, but its his choice to mention his parents in such a way on camera to make some people feel is is acting it up for votes. In fact it may have cost him some.

I'd have given it an 8, but it lacked power and energy for me. Certainly when you stand it against Danny's Samba they are polar opposites.

Ore is one of those marmite celebs I feel. His QS tonight was ok for me, I quite liked it, but that joke of an AT was terrible to watch. Him standing and posing as Jo did the tricky footwork around him, his posture was weak, it lacked any energy for me at all. Put it against even Louise's AT and it looks poor so to get three 10's was total bollocks!
Overall a mediocre night of dancing, no real wow dances, but then this is the first time the celebs have had to dance twice on a Saturday so really its to be expected. The usual overmarking, although not much undermarking tonight imo.
It did highlight though why Len should go. He was out of order shouting at Craig, the man is as entitled to his opinion as a judge as Len himself is, plus he made a point of telling everyone Ore is the only one left with no dance experience in his past. Thats not something a neutral judge should be commenting on at this stage of the competition where ever vote counts ... well unless of course he is angling for his favourite to get through to the final of course

Good evening fellow enthusiasts.
They all danced well last night but I have no idea how the public voting went. I spent a long time trying to do mine. Grrrr.

If it's anything like he was on Graham Norton then it will be.

If it's his latest release it's a bit of a return to Police form. So I will forgive him.
