Why do you lot "detest" Denise? it makes no sense to me. 
We don't detest her Video, we just think she has a very unfair advantage over the rest of them....you only have to look at her first dance to see that....she danced like a professional from day 1..... and just for the record, I'm not keen on Louis either

So Darcy was speaking about the final three this morning,someone should have filled her in about the change so Denise gets through.I am no fan of Lisa but I detest Denise and I have said from the start that she had an unfair advantage.

I don't like Lisa...... but in essence, yes......I feel it should be more about people like Michael.... people who gradually improve as the series goes on ....... or like Matt Baker... or that news presenter guy who won a couple of years ago....

I saw the new twitter account for this earlier and
cor blimey me its the Riley one again
ahh.. don't apologise - I know I don't hold the popular view, but I won't lose any sleep over it I admit I'll be gutted if I have to watch Lisa Rily do a show dance over Denise though.
I agree - hopefully Lisa will be gone tomorrow unless the fourth place in the final is to ensure she is in it
Dan Wootton, Daily Mail (today)
For weeks, viewers have asked why Strictly Come Dancingâs judges have given Olympic gymnast Louis Smith tougher scores and critiques than his rivals.
It was only after his near-flawless performance on Saturday that Len Goodman, Craig Revel Horwood, Bruno Tonioli and Darcey Bussell began to award him marks comparable to front-runner Denise Van Outen.
Iâm told thatâs because staff on the show are well aware the heart-throb has been topping the viewersâ phone vote for weeks and is almost assured a place in the final on December 22.
My Strictly source reveals: âItâs been known behind the scenes for weeks now that Louis is a sure bet for the final. As a result, the judges knew there was no point giving him nines and tens every week because it would allow him no progression throughout the series.
âTo be truthful, they have marked him harder than the other dancers because he is a gymnast who has a natural advantage over a rival like Lisa Riley.â
While I donât want to see the judges going easy on the celebs, itâs been clear to me theyâve been marking Louis, 23, down unfairly for weeks.
If anything, that has only increased his support with the public.
Barring a huge surprise over the next two weeks, itâs hard to see a scenario where he wonât become this yearâs king of the dancefloor.

SCD is about a taking a celeb out of their normal environment and learning a new skill.Denise is all about dance and theatre,it's what she does! so much so that Andrew Lloyd Webber had her critic and judge on his BBC show to help find his next "Star" who would be the lead in his Westend production of Maria,Joseph,and another one I can't recall.He didn't ask a cricketer or Gymnast to be on the panel.Why? Because they don't dance /have never danced or been part of on a West end production.
When Denise Van Outen signed up for strictly, dance was her discipline.
The rest of the contestants came from different diciplines .
Actors/Gymnasicst/Cricket/Boy band/Cyclist/Model and Johnny Ball.

I get what you're saying Erin, but I see it differently. Ballroom and theatre dance are different disciplines - it's like taking Mo Farrah and saying he should be good at long jump because they're both athletics. Chances are he'll be better then your average Joe because he'll be fitter, have a more competitive spirit and have the correct mindset for training. In the same way that Denise (and Louis) have taken to dancing. 
Or of course Tom ..... *swoons*
Will that be Tom Chambers who was in the National Youth Music Theatre, did a 3 yr musical theatre course at Guilford School of Acting and had previous dance lessons?

Erinp plenty of them have had relevant experience, in fact all who are currently still in it to win it apart from Nicky as far as I can make out, (and he's surely favourite for the chop this week?) : Lisa had dance lessons when she was young; Kimberley was in W End show Shrek and performed dance routines with Girl's Aloud; Dani went to stage school; Louis had previously danced and his experience in men's artistic gymnastics surely had to give him a a head start and he frequently uses gymnastics moves in his routines. None of them, including Denise, as far as I am aware, had any experience of Ballroom/Latin. I don't deny that Denise, (and others,) had an advantage over some, she's done musical theatre and danced one number in Chicago, but she's not alone, that's been the case in many a SCD, one of my favourites ever was Jill Halfpenny and she too had previous dance/ musical theatre experience.

Sorry Baz, but you have to admit, that was a bit of a gift
I don't even want Denise to win, not least of all 'cos I can't bear that bloody supercilious James one. Danni and Vincent all of the way for me
and tbf Erin, Maria and Joseph were judging singing, not dancing.

I was a little confused about that bit as I don't recall any dance routines on Any Dream Will Do or on How Do You Solve a Problem like Maria. Anyways Denise wasn't a judge on Maria, she did judge on 'I'd do Anything' but, like Joseph, Oliver is hardly a 'dance' production
I really should stay off the board when I come home from a night out .
It all made perfect sense to me this morning at 4am.
I still don't like her and I don't want her to win .
Every week she says tha she is "Struggling " wonder what it will be this week.

Even though I like her, and I disagree, I still understand why people don't want her to win.
