I've said this before and I'll say it again...

It's not Cherie bashing! It's judge/producers bashing (more specifically Len bashing.)

We all know it's not Cherie's fault that she is favoured. There is absolutely nothing wrong with discussing this blatant bias!

Now THAT, is funny

Some viewers believe every word the judges say. If Len says it then it must be true.

It's not exactly original to see this sort of reply in a perfectly legitimate thread discussing alleged favouritism of the judges.

Labelling this kind of discussion 'Cherie bashing' is, at best, disingenuous when it's 'judge' Len's judgement that's being questioned. Trying to create a victim out of Cherie or her 'fans' is a manipulative deflection tactic which just doesn't work.

I really, really hope this hasn't happened but I can see where you're coming from.

I dont think Cherie would agree with that mark from Len - she knows she messed up on Saturday.

Who knows, (and I really hope this is the case) she might come out tomorrow and dance a stunning Waltz which is fully deserved of a good mark. You go girl!!!

And one that has already been done to death on the ITT thread for last night!

Look, there's no point in waiting until the end of the competition to discuss someone's possible chances, is there? I can only judge Cherie on what she's shown me so far which is excellent ballroom, excellent rumba, okay paso and poor salsa. From that, I have to conclude at the moment that she's not an all rounder. That's not writing her off or ruling out a comeback but the form book so far would see her potentially struggling with the jive, samba and cha cha.

Some people do improve in leaps and bounds. But some don't. Cherie could indeed be one of the latter and if that's the case there are people there who are definitely better all rounders than her and deserve to go further.

Fair's fair,
those who say Cherie was spotted near the grassy knoll when JFK was shot, then found time to write Len's script yesterday, have to remember that Cherie then found time to instigate the BOE's 1.5% interest rate cut.
