Seems from the prolific threads tonight, everyone thinks " their" star was undermarked and everyone else over marked.
This year I have no favourites so thought overall it's fair. |

Is that why people thought Danny's salsa was great then? His Tango even?
And I like Claudia's QS but not her Rhumba because what? You think whatever comforts you. You, on the other hand, seem to think anything Ore does is brilliant and will never say anything negative against him, even if he hasn't performed well. |

There is no way Ore should have came first.
The leaderboard should have been: 1)Danny and Oti 2)Claudia and An 3)Louise and Kevin 4)Ore and Joanne |

His song has been used for the third time so it can't be that unsuitable - I just didn't think he did a good job especially compared to Danny's effort much earlier in the competition.

Some of you need to make your minds up. At various times you have accused the Judges of bias towards Louise, Danny and now Ore. Which is it?
Given that Craig gave his lowest score for Ore's quick step if the panel were biased in respect of Ore they have a funny way of showing it. Remember folks it's all about opinions not facts. Posters on here are of course free of all bias. Or perhaps not. |

He was better than Danny in my opinion. That AT was frantic and Danny had the wrong posture all the way through.

Claudia's footwork, posture and speed in her QS (also maintained through all those turns) was far superior to Ore's, so if he got 38 for his slightly sloppy dance she should've had 40. Her rumba had slightly 'posey' choreography and too much inelegant looking leg raising. Every dance except Claudia's QS was overmarked I thought.
Danny's hip action looked a bit odd in his salsa, not helped by the Simon Cowell trousers. Not keen on the AS either - it looked a bit like a stage dance from a drama school end of year show instead of a ballroom dance. Louise's dances were, as usual, nice. I always like how much content Kevin puts in his sambas but it was all too neat and safe. The tango was never going to have much atmosphere with that music and from the waist down it didn't look much like a tango. Ore's AT was ok but weirdly hunched at times and didn't deserve any tens. I don't think anyone was clearly better all round than the others - I would've just had them all tied and let the public decide. Danny according to Len just hadn't bothered with one standard move , but somehow deserved a 10. He also fumbled a lift and that wasn't counted. Ore's mark was just ridiculous - in most weeks he would have got an 8 for bad acting, and posing, while his partner did two thirds of the work. They commented on him coming from no training - which looks questionable . And they told us that somone who looks the same every week, was acting brilliantly. |

Well, I don't. I am a Danny supporter, but I will criticize him if I see fit. I wasn't particularly bowled over by his Salsa -- it was OK, but not great. Craig was right, the figure-of-eight hip action was missing from him, therefore he didn't deserve a 10 for it. In contrast, his AS was simply stunning and deserved 40.
You, on the other hand, seem to think anything Ore does is brilliant and will never say anything negative against him, even if he hasn't performed well. I've always admitted Ore is inconsistent and can get things wrong. It's one of the reasons I love him. He's an amateur, he's exciting, I don't know if he's going to eff up from one dance to the next - even IN the dances he's sometimes both fabulous and 'off'. He has emotional power and connection and he's a tryer who LOVES dancing. Of course he's got faults. Danny is a decent chap but essentially, for me, like a sort of second rate pro backing dancer, fine and all that, but awfully dull. |

Blatant bias. Obvious overmarking.
How is Ore top of the leaderboard?

Their comments were out of line with their marks for Claudia - Craig gave no reason for a 9 while his comments were for a 10. Darcey found something no one else did to justify marking her lower than Ore.

Are you really saying his gentle, wistful oddity last week was the same as his sexy lad performance in that QS? |

Because he danced magnificently and brought personality in what is essentially an entertainment programme, that's how

I don't think so, but then I quite often don't agree with the judging.
The music for the AT was awful, but I agree with those that think Ore didn't do very much. It's a shame because he's a fantastic dancer and capable of much more. I love Louise but she got unlucky having a samba and it was never going to be her dance, first out too...I will be very surprised if she's not in the dance off. I liked Claudia's rumba and thought her quickstep was the best of the series. I'll eat my cat if Danny is not in the final. |

If she's there though, that QS was bloody BETTER than either of Louise or Danny's dances.
Fingers crossed. |

I'm just sick and tired of Craig's determination to always lead with a negative, and bring the dancers crashing down, and confused especially after wonderful, uplifting and complimentary feedback from the other three judges. Of course it's personal preference, but Ore and Claudia simply epitomise what the show is about because they've learned to dance from scratch. I can see Danny is an exceptional dancer, but Ore has been nothing short of phenominal because of the amount of work he's had to do to get to such a high standard and so he's completely earned his Final place! imo

No. ![]() Shame. Ah well, I loved it tonight and no, it wasn't the worst night of judging in Strictly history. *sigh* |

Darcey in particular was dreadful so biased against Claudia.

Darcy really critical this evening. I know its SF week .. why start now ? pffft.
Jo Clifton was amazing in her AT. I was not watching Ore. says alot. Oti is an all round sensation . wow ! Btw. Louise needs the boot tonight Her samba was boring. And that's the last thing I want from a latin number.

They are all amateurs. Ore peaked for me with his 'Singin' in the rain' AS,now that was a dance of quality and narrative and is my favourite dance of this series
NOT a ringer. |

![]() I think Len doesn't use anything below 5, all the celebrities want to impress Craig as they value his hard to get 10. |

Ore seriously played his part. I thought he was bloody great. Jo's the girl, she DOES the flash moves.

Not THE worst night of judging (to my mind that is still reserved for last year's final...40 for K & K's non-Tango Tango
![]() ![]() ).I don't have a fave this year so don't really care who is in the final .... but I was stunned by some of the scores. I thought the AT was just awful, the Samba "nice" and I'm pretty sure a samba should never be nice. I would have put Danny & Claudia tied at the top (loved both their second dances, but not so much the Salsa or Rhumba). Followed by, some distance, Ore then Louise. Of course everyone sees things differently. |

I'm not a fan of Ore, but on first watch I thought his quickstep was fabulous, but on a second view (which admittedly is not something the judges can do) there were a number of little snags so I think Craig's marking was about right. His AT was OK but nothing special.
Louise's samba was bordering on shambolic. I've backed Danny from day one & I still think he is the best dancer Strictly has had. If he doesn't win it will be a travesty but he could be in the dance off & if he's up against one of the golden couples he'll be gone The judges do not even try to hide the fact that they want Ore & Louise in the final. After that quickstep, I hope Claudia gets a boost from the public & leaves a Clifton v Clifton dance off - then watch them squirm, |

The lady's "flash moves" are supposed to be initiated by the man - to react to his actions. Ore didn't lead, it was Jo doing it herself. It stood out a mile.
As was Danny's and Louises and Claudia's. And they had faults too. Ore had power and precision and intensity. |
