Like I said deluded, if you know anyything about balleoom dancing you would know that nobody wver reaches those standards so quick from being a complete novice
What standards - there are threads on here saying he was over marked and rubbish and they have to fix it to get him through. So what is it - is he rubbish and shouldn't be sharing a stage with the other celebs or a super secret ringah who out ringers even Louise and Danny?

As I said you know nothing about dance, the marks were about poltical correctness not dancing . Thing is it shouldnt matter if final is all black or ll white or a mixture. Everyone is the same and deserve to be marked that way, I think the PC brigade are the most racist of all
the political problem is what hit them after the first few weeks -when all the other minority contestants left one after another. it would have been very bad for the BBC if he had followed, and good if they can say he made the final.

They have however made the problem potentilaly worse for themselves though if they mark him top and he still gets in the dance off. The intent would be to get a Claudia - Louise dance off which strats as a draw in the leaderboard , and they cna give anyway they fancy.

With the tie and with Ore probably at the bottom of the public vote he will probably still be in the DO. The overmarking was perhaps just so they could easily justify saving him.
My thoughts exactly

Why would it be manipulated for Ore to get through? The winners get a plastic trophy, honesty it's not a competition of significant importance is it???
Indeed.

Something that an awful lot of people apparently lose sight of.

Is that your argument? I am deluded and you are not? You might be the one that is deluded sunshine. You need to learn to debate your argument and not insult people

I thought people would stoop to find new ways to bash him, I didn't expect them to go that low.

I think we have seen progression from nothing much to excellence on Strictly - if not for some years ,There's also people who have added the other components to a useful starting skill . Claudia has a real journey story . But Ore's performances have been up and down - although his marks haven't reflected the down some weeks. And his big leap forward came relatively early, and was a very big leap for someone who hadn't learnt that dance before. Since then, If you discount the judges gushing over his acting, its far from clear there's been much progress.

His AT wasn't that good. Giving it three tens was a joke! Certainly Danny and Claudia danced better than him tonight, yet Ore is sitting top of the leader board.

He'e been in the DO twice and probably would have gone home tonight. Nice bit of manipulation there.
Couldn't disagree more.....smacks of sour grapes to me. The judges know what they are talking about. The fact that they have been in the dance off twice is no reflection on his skill or artistry but more to do with the popular vote. Whatever happens now Ore has been a total inspiration this series. It ain't over till it's over. Go Ore!

Some dances he found easier and more natural than others.

Same for all beginners.

Absolutely. Manipulation at its best (or worst). Len's farewell gift to his buddies.
The entire script was tested in the past. It allowed the judges to bring their favorite to the final and turn the fans of the people's favorites against each other.

He should not have been at the top of the leaderboard or given the last spot for both dances. It was designed to make sure he reached the final but blame the producers not the judges.

Despite Claudia having to do a Rumba, Ore's Agentine Tango was the worst dance of the night.
It must have looked different in the studio to someone posturing about. That's all I saw.Oh and a lift or two. Big deal

Ore barely moved in that AT the judges should be ashamed of the marks they gave.

The judges tonight manipulated the scores imo to suit their agenda and are beyond pathetic.

What I don't understand with threads like these is that the dancer who really isn't a "dirty ringah" is getting loadsa flack.

Danny (who I think is phenomenal) is obviously a trained dancer.
Louise was a judge for a dance competition and also has some previous experience.
Claudia (who I also love) has used her gymnastic skills very cleverly - just like Louis did.

Yet the guy who has had no training, and has put in some excellent routines is the one who this forum singles out every single week. With the exception of Louise I thought it was a pretty close semi-final and any of the three could have topped the leader board. So for it to be the one with the least experience is pretty good in my book. Well done Ore, tonight reminded of the old SCD where a gifted amateur takes up ballroom dancing and gives us all a treat.

I am sorry but how do we know that Ore has never had Private Dance lessons.

Yeah, that's what James Jordan is saying
In which case I would take no notice at all. He's a grade A petulant arse who has never forgiven the Clifton for stealing his and Ola's thunder.

I have talked to some pro dancers I know on the phone and they all ranked Ore last in both dances. I do not know what the judges were watching.
I wonder what your pro dancing mates were watching then as patently his dances were not the worst of the night.
