I am one of these people who really doesn't care if someone has had previous dance experience or not. If I enjoy the dancing and I feel something positively emotional from it then I'm a fan.

So to my mind Ore does not warrant a place in the final simply because he apparently has little prior experience.

I have no real favourite this year but (partly based on that joyous QS) I really hope Claudia makes it through.

The guy embodies the Strictly Spirit well. The Journey this guy has been on is magical.. and unlike Louise, Danny and Claudia he hasn't got an dancing pedigree, that HAS to be taken into account when deciding on who to vote for and ultimately who wins the show.

So let Ora pull another rabbit out of the hat and make the final !

Trump, Brexit.. Ora 2016 Strictly champion!?
Agreed, but he's got this far on merit. I think it's fair to say the remaining ones are all good. Not you but the ones that who keep singling him out and saying that he doesn't belong on the same stage as the others clearly have another agenda/motive. Ore dances beautifully they just have to learn to deal with it.

Ore had good and memorable dances at the start. I wouldn't mind if he goes into the final, or even if he wins. However, he plateaued early on and didn't reach the level of the other three so I wouldn't mind if he got into the DO tonight and lost either.

He has had a journey definitely for an originally non-dancer.

I voted for Ore and Jo this evening.

I would rather see him in the final than Claudia. I don't find him fake or smug. I think people just use that as an excuse to dislike him

Absolutely agree with this.

I wouldn't exactly say that Claudia comes from a dance background. She's a gymnast, not a dancer, and it shows.

Ore deserves a place in the final on MERIT.

'Let's Dance for Comic Relief' does not equal the same kind of dance training as professionally dance trained stage school ringers like Danny and Louise. and he was never a Dance Judge/Expert on 'So You Think You Can Dance'

Why does a poorer dancer merit a place over a better dancer? I would far rather watch better dancers in the final.

He needed a leg up from the Judges who duly delivered tonight

Darcy giving a 10 when she criticised his top line in the QS (penalising other couples for similar comments)

That AT was Joanne Clifton dancing around a plank of 2x2. No intricate leg work no A frame no movement from Ore ... 8's at best.
You forgot to mention his obvious stumble...

I wonder about your definition of merit...

You know if makes sense people

Danny Mac thinks he has this in the bag
I doubt that. He isn't all that confident from what I have seen in the various interviews.

She hasn't. Gymnastics and dancing are not the same thing. Not even rhythmic gymnastics or floor exercises, which are both set to music, are the same as dancing.
