Len said that if it had been a tie he would have picked Sid because Colin makes the same mistake in his dances each time.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the the judging of who gets through the dance-off supposed to be judged SOLELY on the performance given IN the dance-off?

 

And he has the effrontery to tell Craig off for pedanticism about his comment about lack of 'kicks and swivels' in Lisa's Charleston!

Strictly Come Dancing's professionals have threatened to quit the live tour as they want to be paid ÂĢ8,000-a-week, not the ÂĢ6,000 they have been offered.

 

Strictly Come Dancing's professionals have threatened to quit the live tour in a row over pay.

Seven dancers - including Aliona Vilani, Kristina Rihanoff and Pasha Kovalev - were unhappy to learn that their pay for the shows is frozen at last year's rate of ÂĢ5,500-a-week and say they will pull out if the salary isn't increased.

'Strictly' bosses have now upped the offer to ÂĢ6,000 - considerably less than the ÂĢ13,000 their celebrity partners receive for the tour - but the professionals are holding out for ÂĢ8,000, though they have yet to receive another response.

 

A source said: "The pro dancers work like dogs on tour. As well as dancing, they are responsible for choreography and preparing the celebrities for the performance.

"Some dancers feel the bosses have forgotten they are household names in their own right."

 

The tour is scheduled to begin in January and 'Strictly' chiefs are hoping to sign up Denise Van Outen, Kimberley Walsh, Lisa Riley, Dani Harmer and Louis Smith to take part in the live shows around the UK.

I think Len was saying that Colin made the same mistake in the danceoff that he made in his original dance, he clean forgot a whole section of his dance, which Sid didn't.

Sid moves to numbers, Colin dances. Even if he DID forget a section of his dance he at least DANCED, Sid didn't.

 

But you're biased anyway 'cos you didn't want Ola to go! 

True.

 

But I admit that Colin is a far better dancer than Sid, it was a fair result.
