Here's something that's been tried on different forums with varying degrees of success.

To conform with the spirit of the thread, each poster needs to answer or respond to the post immediately before.

If there's a dead heat, the latter or last post takes precedence ...

Here's the OP:

Ignoring JS, I feel that both Jodie and Christine should have left the competition before Cherie...

Disagree but that's only personal preference. I understood that Cherie was a good dancer, but like Emma Bunton before her, she got on my wick (to quote Len)! I think Jodie & Christine are improving all the time so don't want them to go yet!

I think Jodie should have been out before Cherie. Christine is coming through as a real dark horse so I don't mind her staying, but Jodie should be next out in the absence of JS

I like both Christine and Jodie but think they both should have gone before Cherie. Would rather Christine went before Jodie I think.

Christine has no chance of winning on ability BUT the massive vote she gets from her homeland could prove to be as influential as the voting for a previous denizen of SCD,
recently retired.

I agree! Christine could possibly make it to the final as she has massive support and the added bonus of dancing with firm favourite MAtthew Cutler! I reckon she could knock out the likes of Tom and Rachel !

God I hope not - that really would make this series a complete farce. She has nowhere near the ability of Tom, Rachel, Austin and Lisa.

Deffo. She's a nice enough girl, all smiles and light etc. but in my opinion she's not quite reached the Austin, Tom, Lisa, Rachel leagues yet.

You all seem to forget one thing - she's the only female celeb so far not have been in the bottom two. So how can you say she hasnt reached the Austin, Tom, Lisa and Rachel leagues yet?

I think it was just in reference to scores. Christine is kinda stuck in the low 30's at the moment while the others are getting mid to high 30's!

Maybe not in Austin, Tom, Lisa and Rachel's league either but I like Jodie best. Gotta feeling the judges will start picking on her next.

You're only supposed to respond to the post before, Scorpio Tee heeee

Thanks, everyone!

Shoving the JS thing to one side, I don't believe the judges have picked on anyone. As with Lisa and Christine, they've marked Jodie up and down according to performance.

I agree that the judges haven't picked on anyone but they could choose their words more carefully when criticising the less proficient dancers. They are there to judge the dancing and there is no need to get personal.

I do think they have their favourites though.

But I'm not alone in thinking the judges have marked their favourites UP and Jodie and Christine DOWN every chance they've got.

I agree, but I also think that Len has marked Rachel down (or at least criticised her more severely) several times, for no apparent reason.

But she's had Bruno marking her up to balance it.

It's the same for all the girls left - if Craig marks them down then Len marks them up etc etc etc.

Never mind, we can vote for the girls can't we?

Not saying you can't - I'm just making the point that it's not just Jodie and Christine who've been getting odd marks from the judges

No, and I didn't mean to suggest that they were...

I did

Get odd marks?

No, suggest that it's just Jodie and Christine whose marks are a little odd given their level of talent relative to other performers

As far as I can tell all the girls have been getting marks, or at least a placement on the leaderboard corresponding to the quality of their dance. The boys, not so much, but both have been relatively good all along.
