Yes, Annied, I know what you mean. Maybe someone should tell Collin to start playing the Welsh card and start actively campaigning for votes. After all, he was a successful athlete for them for many years.

No feature on ITT tonight AGAIN!!! Everyone else - analyzed. Darren not shown but was spoken about......!!! Someone tell the BBC this is biased tv please!!

I know what you mean it is quite frustrating. I think we just have to keep voting to keep him in. Surely they can't ignore him forever.
I know others have said that maybe he does not want to take part or is busy but that does not stop them acknowledging him.

I don't believe that for one minute. It just doesn't fit at all with the guy I followed for years on the athletics field.

I'm sticking to the theory I posted on another thread, that he has more natural ability than any of the others. Did you see that glimpse of his salsa this evening? - Absolutely amazing for someone who's never danced seriously before. I think the Beeb are worried that if he gets too much airtime, the voting won't be close as they'd like.

Lets push this one up a bit. I can't wait for the salsa tonight which should be fun. Good luck to Colin in the foxtrot.
If he doesn't get exposure in ITT then let the dancing show off his ability. xxx

Notice how the judges couldn't find anything wrong with his foxtrot and yet all they can give him was 8?

I have long thought that a chance to be taken in Anton's arms and twirled around the dance floor should be available on prescription. Just think what it would do for British womanhood; then women could go back to the old man and his snoring and sweaty feet with the memory of a few perfect minutes to see us through the banality of everyday life.

But tonight I've changed my mind. It should be Colin instead. If I had the memory of a foxtrot in Colin's arms these cold, dark winter mornings would be so much more bearable.

*Sigh*

Oooh, their salsa was hot!!! lol @ Erin wanting to beat Anton!!!

I think that Colin is getting a raw deal from the judges. He is absolutely spot on: graceful, technically perfect and yet the judges drool on about the Patsy being much improved.

Her style of dancing is "here's my head and my bottom's coming!"

And altho' Zoe is better, she is NOT as good as Colin, IMO.


It seems that the judges favour celebs. over actual achievers - like Colin.

Colin was not someone I'd really thought too much about before tonight but he was so criminally undermarked he's got a vote from me this week?

The judges need their heads examining.

I really don't understand the judges all gave him so much praise and then gave him 8s. what is going on!
He did look quite hot in the salsa. We got a peek at his chest.
Oh and when he was hanging on that bar in training. damn he has a mighty fine body and he's diet is practically the same as mine but instead of jellys mine is revels!
Made for each other

I have never really been struck on Colin, however, tonight however, I actually voted for him and Erin.
They must be seething about those marks, they deserved more IMO. Really cannot understand why they didn't score higher, especially as Zoe's routine was not perfect.
A 10??? My bottom
Colin ruled tonight.

Unbelievable isn't it?

I'm not a huge Colin fan but I have to admit his salsa was wicked! And I love Erin!

Got to agree with everyone else, he was shockingly undermarked tonight and it was glaringly obvious he deserved better marks than that.
I have no idea what the judges expect from him, "the best foxtrot danced by a male celebrity ever on the show" yet he only gets an 8?

I am absolutely disgusted by the judges scores tonight, Colin really did deserve much better scores, and possibly even his 10, I mean if Zoe can get one Colin should have got at least 2, blatent favouritism!!

I agree!! I heard the judges comments and though oh lovely must be a couple of 10's here!! Then

I have to admit that as much as I love this programme, I'm loosing heart over evrybody's treatment of Collin. From his non-mention in ITT to the criminally undermarking by the judges during the show itself. And I was one who was unsure as to who to back at the begining but they seem to be forcing me to vote for Collin (he deserves my vote the last two weeks) regardless of how he does.

colin may be a good dancer but every time he opens his mouth he sounds ever more arrogant and comes across as horoughly unlikeable

He isn't arrogant at all, he is such a lovely chap, kind, well natured, smiley, talkative... just because he thought he could do well tonight, and he did do very well, doesn't make him arrogant!

I can see how is competitiveness can be misinterpreted but I don't think he comes across as unlikeable. I was more put off by Zoe comparing her scores with Patsys and Ian saying effectively yeah well we beat them!

Yes Colin and Erin 's routine was better performed than Zoe and Ian. Colin got my vote for best dance of tonight. I don't think either was quite worth the 10 but Zoe and Colin's scores should have been swapped in my book.

I agree, shelly30. As an athlete, Collin was giving himself a goal that he like to achieve. I can't see how anyone could consider that as being arrogant. He is the gentleness person you could ever meet.

we'll agree to disagree then...yes he smiles a lot...and yes he talks a lot but all he talks about is himself and how good he thinks he is... granted that may be what took him to the top as a sportsman but it's not very likeable in a fun programme like SCD

Maybe it's something about Athletes. Denise and Roger gave me the same kind of vibes last year.

To be honest, I'm more interested in the pros than the celebs!
