Should there still be a dance off at this stage?

I really don't think there should be - it makes the show seem like even more of a fix. Maybe they should stop it after Blackpool week?

Not for the semi finals, no.

yes since then it stops the joke acts going too far into the show if the judges are there to stop them in their tracks

No.

The judges have far too much power to manipulate the outcome with so few dancers left, and the so called "joke" acts have just as much right to be there if the public want them to be. Not that there were any.

No, because there shouldn't be a dance-off at any stage. Series 8 and 9 both showed that the programme works perfectly smoothly without it.

yes I love the drama of it and it was great seeing Claudia do her quickstep even better

and with the dance off Claudia still had a chance, Danny might have dropped Oti

I'm on the fence about the dance off overall - pros and cons etc - but it definitely gives the judges too much opportunity to skew things by the semi-final stage.

Without the dance off there's a good chance Danny would've gone this weekend.

No D/O from the quarters. Lowest votes goes and if it's who is seen as the best dancer so be it.

I'd be happy to go along with that.
