Claudia undermarked comparatively for the rhumba

Louise way overmarked for her samba. Straight 9's for that really. Were they marking the dance or their expectations. Craig & darcey gave it the same score as Claudia for her quickstep.

And Darcey suddenly decides not to be picky for Ore for the AT? Jo seemed to do most of the dancing & I don't think it deserved 10.

Marking....Spot on.

Maybe cos they've worked together http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b081c7dy
Click on show more they presented it together

Clear manipulation taking place, although some on here would never admit to it.

Of course those same posters will spend the rest of the night on the X Factor forum claiming all sorts of skulldugery.

Danny overmarked.
Louise about right.
Ore and Claudia undermarked.

Should have been a perfect 80 for Ore and Jo, their position at the top of the leaderboard is well deserved.

Ore overmarked for both his dances, Darcey commented that he was struggling to keep his top line yet gave him a 10, she nitpicked other couples dances (Danny's exquisite AS springs to mind, but there other others) and marks accordingly giving a 9. Please leave with that grumpy old git who shows no respect to other judges when they are giving their opinions yet requires silence when he comments ... thank god we've only one more week to put up with him.

Ore vastly over armed, it looked fixed.

Ore AT overmarked
Louise samba overmarked

Everything else about right- although shame Darcey still can't find it in her to give Claudia a 10.

Undermarked, overmarked wombling free,
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we. Sorry, reminded me of the song!

Claudia and Ore undermarked. Craig has a huge bee in his bonnet about them both that he can't shake, no matter WHAT they do!

Ore lost balance his At wasn't good. Joanne's not good at AT either. Lift looked awkward.

Claudia's QT should have been 10s the pros were all booing her marks. I like Danny but didn't think his salsa was that good. His AS was amazing and deserved 40. I like Louise but her tango was weird did t like it.

Spiteful and rather sad.

Louise - overmarked on both.
Danny - overmarked on one, fair on the other
Ore - overmarked on both
Claudia - overmarked on one, undermarked on the other.

However, having said that the only change needed to the leaderboard was that Claudia should be clear of Louise. So does it really matter?

Yes but I think the main issue is the overmarking of Louise.
Quickstep last week and samba this week.

Louise and Ore - overmarked on both
Danny - undermarked on AS
Claudia - undermarked on both

I think the marking was fair. Maybe Claudia's QS was undermarked but it makes up for her overmarked and Rumba.

Claudia under marked for her QS.
Last week definitely undermarked for her Lion King routine and grossly undermarked for what I saw as the best AT EVER!!
