I once knew ( he is dead now ) a Marine who was special ops etc a real tough guy who no one would mess with.

But I have never known a man cry as much as he did. If he was talking about anything he cared about he would cry.

I have been backing Ore from the start and don't think his crying etc is OTT to me it is just his nature. i love the fact that he isn't afraid to show his emotions.

I would like both Ore and Oti to win and wish they had been paired together.

Yes Danny is a great dancer but I just can't warm to him. So as much as I love Oti's dancing I will continue to vote for Ore.

Ore's tears are so insincere, it's excruciating. I have no feelings to any of the 4 contestants that were left this weekend, my favourites went out early, but I think that if one of the dancers can make a major mistake halfway through his routine and still be top of the leaderboard then it doesn't say much for the other three.

Ore's quickstep routine actually got some or the boys in our Jazz class to say that it actually made quickstep in their words look cool. They loved the rock style music and staging and leather outfits - got them half interested in the dance - oh to get them to try ballroom and latin - always a shortage of boys in B/L at the school

I would love Ore to win, just for the outrage it would cause on here.

I've actually decided to vote for him again this week out of disgust at the way some of the press and public are treating him. I rarely protest vote but I feel strongly about this.

IKR

Right now it is totally ridiculous what is being said in other threads.
If they could, they would blame Ore for Brexit and Donald Trump.

Being an Ore supporter I have to be careful what I say otherwise I am accused of being bias.
I guess they expect me to sit here and read that is written about him without comment

I love Ore's dancing and think he's come on massively over the course of the show. IMO Louise is the weakest dancer left, but she's obviously popular as she wasn't in the dance off.

I'm not sure it's been consistent favouritism, but he certainly has enjoyed some. Last weekend was the biggest push for him I have ever seen and it was blatant. Showing his parents whenever they could, mentioning a number of times by himself, the judges, Tess and Claudia that he has never danced before, etc, etc. He is a good dancer, at times on par or better than Danny, but sometimes his mistakes are overlooked or brushed off. For example his AT on Saturday was, imo, the worst of the series. He stood around, posed and Jo danced around him most of the time. It was incredibly underwhelming, but the judges gushed over it giving him 39/40. Even his supporters must admit that this type of support helps him.

That's not to say others haven't enjoyed similar overmarking of course, they have, but this weekend it was obviously directed at keeping Ore in the contest.

Or he danced his heart out and was thrilling and a surprise.

And he's never been a favourite.

Will someone explain how Ore can do only a few kicks and flicks in the AT then have a stumble which none of the judges mentioned and score 39
Watch it back

All the ATs are pants according to the experts. And Ore's dance, whatever, was beautiful, moody, powerful and artistic.

And he danced it with commitment and passion.

As far as I am aware, Ore has never said he has never danced before, it is always brought up by someone else first. The only time he's acknowledge it and made a comment was to defend himself.

I really hate this witch hunt against Ore
& Mr Brendan Cole hasn't helped matter by going down the James Jordan route & screaming out fix!
Even the Sun has jumped on the banned wagon & singled out Ore with an anti Ore article.
Poor Ore doesn't stand a chance this Saturday, apparently he's now the devil spawn

It's all very nasty and rather stupid.

& what is ironic, Claudia shouldn't have reached the Semi Finals.
She should have been eliminated week 9 against Greg who out danced her in the DO.

Did you find all the others who cried insincere too? Claudia and AJ, Kevin all cried. Or is it just Ore?

Now THAT'S what a TV programme should do - inspire our youngsters to try something new. Yet another feather in our Ore's cap

I thought Ore was moving around quite a lot ( and was not static throughout the routine with Joanne simply dancing around him as some posters claim) and I felt there was a lot of intricate skill involved in their footwork and how well their body movements synchronised together or complemented each other so well and produced a perfect rhythm to match that of the song.
It was less of an 'in-your-face' AT than some, but I loved it. The mean and moody characterisation was really good too.

Its not a witch hunt, or at least I don't intend such with my comment. This weekend though he was pushing so hard to get over to us that his parents were there. As if no one elses parents, or grandparents, or kids had never been in the audience before? Watch the bit with him talking to Claudia after being told he was through and it seems fake (to me at least) the way he turns fully away from camera to 'compose' himself before turning back and launching into the sob story. I'm no expert, I don't know if he was real or fake, I can only say how it came over to me and I'm tired of it <shrugs>

Pretty much everyone thought it was his last night. Perhaps that's why he got his parents in?

Certainly he seemed shocked not to be bottom, and so did Jo.

Rinder's grandparents were on the show twice and actually spoke to Tess, Louise's famous husband is constantly in the audience and was in a VT, Claudia's parents were in a VT and have been picked out a few times (including last night), Melvin's entire family were in a VT, Lesley's famous work colleagues were constantly picked out, Laura's adorable dog got an entire VT about it, Ed's famous wife was constantly cut to, Daisy's mum was mentioned and shown a few times and she actually dedicated a dance to her dead grandfather, Greg's cute kid got a VT, they never bloody stop showing shots of Danny's fiance clapping and crying and wringing her hands,

But say hello to Ore's parents and suddenly it's a MASSIVE PUSH.

Well, Rinder's grandparents more spoke at Tess and over Tess ❤️

Unlike most of your posts about Danny?


I thought it was Louise who looked genuinely shocked not to be in the dance off. She did look stunned.

Such a NICE post from you there - goodness I miss the rolleyes.

They were pushing hard for Ore. I think they thought he was the underdog, a lot of people did seem to think it was his week to go, certainly the panel on ITT. I think they overdid the pushing of one dancer over the others. I'm not sure if it's a benefit long term to do that as people resent it when it's so overdone ...but certainly on the night I bet a fair few were swayed by the line they took and his lovely parents having flown all the way to see him, it almost swayed me, they were adorable sitting there willing him on. His dancing didn't though. I thought the wrong two were in the dance-off.

But onwards and upwards, I'm hoping for even handed audience manipulation from now on from the show.

I am happy for Ore or Danny to win, but being the only female Louise will sneak through. I might as well put some money on her, that way my winnings will ease the pain of her winning.

BIB - Has he danced before or not?? Whenever Claudia says " You have never danced before??" he never confirms it?? I have no problem either way.
