I am absolutley furious with those idiots called judges- they I feel decided to fix the leaderborad to get rid of Tom- and that is wrong- they are not playing fair within the spirit of the competition.

I seriousley doubt they want to get rid of Tom... more like Christine.

But it was blatant they were trying to protect Lisa. I thought her cha cha was mediocre.

I thought Lisa's VT and Tess giving Lisa the opportunity to plea to the public and the array of 10s (which I'm not sure were entirely warranted) was all a ploy to promote (not necessarily protect) Lisa.

I liked her dances, but I'm not sure either was worthy of a perfect score.

I would agree with you on the Cha cha but the foxtrot was stunning

tHIS IS WHAT i MEAN

1. L+B = 5 + 2/1 = 7/6
2.A+E = 4 +3 = 7
3.R+V = 3 + 1/2 = 4/5
4.T+C = 2 + 4/5 = 6/7
5.C+M = 1 + 4/5 = 5/6

They are risking Tom in the bottom two- they are taking a risk with the dancers and mucking about playing their power games.

That is surely wrong

They are trying to save Lisa from a third dance off, but they have to get the hint.....public cant be voting for her.

Her performance was bland at most........and quite boring......but she looked lovely
I would put Rachel in that also......slow and boring

I don't think overlooking a fault and then giving Tom a 10 is fixing the leaderboard for him to be at the bottom. It is almost as bad as the 10 Bruno gave Kelly and Brendan despite an illegal lift last series. The only difference is Tom didn't do his fault it on purpose. I just don't think his dance was as good as the others, besides Christine. I do think the majority of the dances were overmarked. But the positions on the leaderboard are fine.

Tom will be safe against Christine. But if he is against anyone else he is toast tonight.

And that is wrong for the judges to behave the way they have- they may as well just sit down beforehand and say- right we'll have so and so here.

If Tom goes out with their messing around I will be lodging a formal complaint againsyt the whole shower of them

Oh come on!

Tom didn't dance his best tonight. Someone has to be in the dance off. Its the rules. Lodging a complaint is very extreme.

I'm not a Lisa fan - but she earned every mark she received tonight.

I think perhaps Austin was awarded marks for 'olays'. (now where is the 'the shakes head smiley.')

I am a Tom fan and have voted for him tonight, but i can admit that your statement is ridiculous.

Len admitted Tom made errors, yet he ignored them and gave him a 10 - it all evens out.

Agree with that, you cant complain if someoneis in the dance off, it has to be something specific.

I think the postitions on the leaderboard was the right one.

With the judges marks some people will agree some will disagree. I think Lisa did two amazing dances and deserved the 10s. I don't think its a fix at all, whoever is in the bottom two will be in the bottom two, peoples opinon always differs on dances some people will like a dance and someone won't.

I love Christine but she has to go tonight. I think the judges had it pretty much right tonight (i'd have switched Rachel and Austin). Christine was totally shown up by some fantastic performances from the competition.

Tom ought to be in the dance-off this week.

So of course he won't be.

In any case, Len will never vote a guy out at this point, and he has the "casting vote".

To be fair, the 10 only balanced out the undermarked 7 IMO.

But if everyone makes minor mistakes during a 10 dance, why does Len select Tom's dance to point that out. Either he should've awarded a 9; kept his mouth shut about the 'small' mistake or label every single minor mistake that a couple makes before giving a 10. By saying that he knew there was mistakes and then dolling out a 10, it seems like he was singling out Tom - I'd say unfairly because it may affect his subsequent public vote.

Christine just isn't as good as the others. Tom wasn't as good tonight as I thought he'd be - I thought the marks were fair.

I dont think its a fix, but it sucks that Christine will probably not go home when she should over and of the other 4.

Well IMO (for what its worth!!) I 've thought for the last couple of weeks that the judges have been making sure that Rachel stays in. Tonight I think Lisa was brilliant and deserves to stay, along with Tom, Austin. and Rachel. My favourite is Lisa. I really think that although Christine tried her hardest tonight, that she was the weakest dancer and should leave.
However, Tess probably got her trillions of votes by saying 'well you are the underdog, Christine'
If Christine is in the dance off then she will go but if she isnt then one of the better ones will, sadly, be going.
