The underdog vote.

Bye Lynda.

Jean!!!!   Long time no see!     It drives me crazy how the duffers get votes.

Lynda should go.


But this is turning into a joke, the Jo's should be in the dance off, week after week they are in the bottom two and yet always survive, even the audience wasn't very happy when Joe's name was read out, a heard a few less than happy reaction to that.

hope craig stays

The slim waist on Flavia, wow

People will vote who they want, JS happened last year because the judges decided to intervene and tell people who to vote for maybe the other fans should vote more then to prevent that. Not Jo or Joe's fault if people want them to stay is it, but also not fair on the good dancers there. Bruce and Tess do say to vote for your favourite couple, not the best dancer so based on popularity then?.

Hi Kaffy.  I am doing OK - how are you?  I think Lynda will be going.

I'm good thanks, Jean.  You?

I'm hoping Len says Craig right now...

Go Len!

THANK GOD FOR THAT

One more chance for Craig then.

LInda out then. Not my favourite person, but  compared with Jo and Joe she was brilliant!

No surprise there then!

Phew, that was close.

Off to the X-Factor thread now!

Spandau Ballet.

Good choice Len me old son, nice job...byebye Lynda, at least something went right tonight.


BUT the Jo's should still be out, I take Darlo's point but it's still wrong for people to vote for Joe simply because he used to be a decent boxer, and even there he was over rated.

Phew - they both danced better this time! Perhaps this will give him more confidence

Thanks for the chat folks  - off to watch X Factor now.  

I can put my X-Factor recording on now.D

Yep X Factor for me now

It really is subjective though.  Not everyone is looking for the same thing in a dancer.  I like the dancers that make me feel something - Alesha's waltz brought tears to my eyes and Tom Chambers made me feel happy.  Ricky G makes me smile and Jade wows me with her musicality.

Sometimes I think that the public vote for the worse dancers not because they like them so much, but because they feel sorry for them being in the bottom and the comments that the judges make.

I agree with every single thing you've just said Suzi.

Jo and Joe were a bit better, but still not in the dance off - the G.P. seem to really like them and Lynda who, for me was better tonight was voted off - strange.
Sorry everybody, but I am not keen on Ricky W, I find him big headed, rather like Tom last year.

Enjoyed it very much as usual, loved Amy Winehouse's goddaughter, she has an amazing voice for a 13 year old and good to see Amy as a backing singer for her, she looks a lot better, but still far to thin, loved the hug at the end for her.

I would imagine now, that Joe and Jo must be favourites for the dance off next week.

darlo have you got a link to this? i was outside talking to my mate and missed it  looked on u tube and can't find it

Vienesse Waltz and Jive next week,  Samba and American Smooth the week after apparently woo hoo.

Awww it normally takes a while for the videos to go onto YT, you can always try BBC I Player online or the SCD website.

I am once again very surprised that Jo Wood was not in the dance off.
How is she getting away with it?
A couple of the foxtrots tonight used terrible music. Far, far too slow and not even romantic.

I thought Zoe Lucker was once again slightly over-marked. I think she is good(ish), but not that good.

I still think Ali and Brian are definitely better than the rest.

thanks darlo  found it, wow she's good

No worries.

Javine the tramp sells her story about the awful MC Harvey, she is right she did Alesha a favour because she's a classy and talented lovely girl who has had lots of success since then. Javine reduced to selling trashy stories to the papers, karma.

My favourite dance next week then - the jive.

No comment about the Javine article, Alesha better off without both of them.

I love the Jive also PB, it's so fast and so fun definetly the most entertaining dance to watch for me, love the kicks and spins.

It is one dance I would love to be able to do properly Darlo, I can jive up to a point, was taught by my dad, but would love to do it properly, like the professional dancers do.

Jill Halfpenny's Jive was amazing, I didn't watch that year but seen it on Youtube I started watching the series Mark Ramps won but Louisa Lytton was my favourite and I absolutely loved her Jive it was so fun, she had a foot injury that week so couldn't do as much training and I was so happy when she did it and got a 10, two 9's and a 8.

CRH slapped by a SCD viewer, some people go too far it's only a TV show.

 SCD will not be finished if what he said is true, Bruce only sticking up for his colleague but maybe he should have kept his thoughts to himself.

Found this from DS, an insight into the judges marking...
