I know nowt about dancing, so I have to compare Cloudier's QS to Ore's. Ore's QS was full of personality, Cloudier's - even to my untrained eye, technically perfect.

But this ain't Come Dancing, it's an entertainment programme and Ore's entertained me more, so he gets my votes.

It is RIDICULOUS how she didn't get a 40.

For me, it was THE BEST QUICKSTEP I have EVER SEEN on Strictly.
Well said! I absolutely agree, 100%

It's SO sad, SO blatantly unfair, and SO annoying.... Argh!!!

Louise's Samba was absolutely awful... yet the judges scored it 1 less than Jay & Aliona's JIVE..!!?! I think that just about sums up this whole series.... ludicrous beyond belief.

Bless her, after all those brilliant critiques from the judges, she looked so deflated when the first two scores (Darcey, even!) were 9s...

That dance certainly deserved a 40.

Much preferred Ore''s which seemed far more controlled. Claudia''s seemed TOO quick and a bit messy - but I am obviously in the minority!

It was stunning. A rock-solid 40. The leaderboard was so ridiculously skewed towards getting Claudia in the bottom 2, it was embarrasingly obvious. They HAD to score Claudia artifically low to keep her where they wanted her, but gosh, it was cringeworthy

It was the best quickstep I've ever seen on strictly. It did deserve a 40. She is so obviously the least favorite with the judges which is annoying as she is often not the worst. The rumba however did lack chemistry. She was better than Louise however who had two poor dances in my opinion.

Credit where it is due. Her QS was fabulous. Finally she delivered the full package.

I agree and imo Darcy does not like her.

I thought it was incredible but she's been undermarked, from Darcy especially, all the way through. I don't usually get worked up about scores but I don't like injustice, it should have got a 40.

I haven't seen the judges' comments yet. Did they criticize Ore's stumble/adjustment in AT? If they didn't they have no business criticizing Claudia. She was truly outstanding tonight.

I don't normally go along with these conspiracy theories but I agree with you 100%. They don't want her in the Final - is that because she isn't touring?

Excuse me, I have watched this programme since 2005, if that's not often enough for you, I don't know what is!

Anyway, it is just my opinion and I thought it was the BEST QUICKSTEP EVER. At least Len and Bruno scored it correctly.

Yep, I can't understand how Claudia didn't get a full house for her QS, it was technically fantastic and the best QS entertainment wise since way back when. Leagues better than Ore's. All this nonsense about no connection, what more do they want? Too much connection on Strictly tends to bring about marriage break ups!
Darcy has got on my nerves so much this time round; when Len goes he should take her with him.

Best dance of the night deserved a 40. The judges obviously had an agenda last night. As for emotional connection in her rumba, for a girl who probably has never had a boyfriend ( just an assumption there ) I thought she did an excellent job and there was a connection.

dance of the night for me

totally deserved 4 tens - it was outstanding

she didn't put a foot wrong
She did put a foot wrong - she is 4' 7" not 5' 7"

Same as her being 19 not 29.

I think that is Darcey's logic for not marking her higher just about every week.

Gapping.
Did the judges not notice that Louise's dance last week was one big gap with a little hold now and then? Lovely for a London Show not SCD. Mistakes by Louise this week but still Bruno gave a 10.
What to make of it? Never known it be so obvious as this year and I am a Kevin fan!

Oh heck, am going to get shot down for this, but, I didn't really like their QS, I thought it was just too fast and too manic.....sorry.
