Rachel & Vincent - Worthy of four 10's?

No.

Worthy of a high score, but not all the 10s.

Yes.... Craig is not exactly known for overmarking and NEVER gives away tens easily so it must have had merit (for those who are failing to see it). Len would have marked lower if the "no heel leads" thing had been really bad. I just don't believe there's a huge conspiracy to get Rachel to the final.

Yes. I was surprised that Craig gave his first 10 but I think it deserved it - R & V were so much better than Tom (I found his tango incredibly boring)

Nah...but worthy of first place on the leader board.

Nice but not brilliant - I didn't think it was worth 4 x 10s.

Comments like this are blindly ignorant. Would she not be #1 on the leaderboard with 36 or 37? Do you think she gets a prize of special popularity bonus points for the extra 3 unnecessary points?

No.....pretty obvious the judges are trying to set up Rachel and Austin for the final

Oh in that case Austin will walk it easily

The fact that Rachel is emerging at the best with the judges sums up this series for me & explains why someone like John became so popular. Rachel is like watching paint dry. It may be perfect or near perfect as far as the judges are concerned by there is no wow factor which lights up your screen when she dances. Austin comes across as smug. Tom reaking of desperation.

Have to say the three girls are way up in terms of basic enjoyment of it all. Lisa coming across much better - probably because I'm thawing toward Brendan. Christine / Jodie don't expect to win so it is go out & do your best.

No, to be honest I found it a bit boring and was no better or worse than Tom's Tango or Lisa's Quickstep - hugely overmarked, it seems the judges have transferred their overmarking from Cherie to Rachel.

Agree. It was good, sure, but really not that good. And nowhere near as her rumba.

I think Rachel is definitely being protected. She was most at risk this week as she was the judges' favourite last week - hence them scoring her so high that she'd be safe this week, when the public are out for revenge. Plus we still don't know if she was in the dance-off two weeks ago because the public didn't think she needed support, or if the public just aren't taken with her ...

This tactic may get her to the final, but I would wager that it will backfire on the producers - the public don't like the judges going OTT about someone they don't connect with ... and, from what I've heard people I know say, and what other people have already posted on here, I rather suspect that is the case.

*waits for brickbats*

Another stupid move by the producers ...

No, I far preferred her rumba, I'd have given that a 10 but this a 9. Still would have had it clear at the top of the leaderboard though.

If I was judge I'd have given her one.

Yes. I loved it (and you can tell she was doing heel leads just from the rise/fall of her body).

I must be watching another show........it certainly was not worth 4 x 10's.

The show is average.....no wow factor tho.........

Yes, absolutely worth 4 10s. Understated and mesmerising. Vincent has done another amazing job putting together a dance that suited Rachel perfectly. I'll be watching it for a second and third time in appreciation

Nope.
Seymour

No not worth 4 10s. IMO they were overmarked and Jodie and Ian were undermarked.
