That's pretty shocking.

Isn't it just! Patrick?

Yes ...

 and  at Dave still being in because better dancers are going to go ahead of him 

And it's already happening! Alright, so maybe Deborah wasn't the greatest of dancers, but she was still better than Dave. As for Patrick....What can I say? He was years away!!!!

Even with an injured arm, Patrick danced much better than Dave. He should never have been in the dance off. Deborah showed an improvement this week so it's a shame she went out.

It's time for Dave to go, imo.

I can see Dave staying over the likes of Patrick and Fiona, look how long John Sergent (sp)  stayed in

 

Has anyone else noticed that Pasha really doesn't look happy being with Rachel and the same with Artem and Natalie 

Bumpety bump 

Please make sure we get the result we want this time Aimee!!  

I think you will disappointed 

Yes, I was afraid I might Aimee  

Abbey and Rachel in the dance off  Rachel out 

^ really?!

I'me not keen on Rachel , but it's a travesty that she goes and Dave stays !  

I'm shocked that abbey was in the dance off!

I said to mr summer tonight "it quite often happens that someone does they're best dance yet and then gets booted!"
I liked Rachel but she's not a good dancer, I'd have preferred Fiona to go.
Dave is funny but really, it's unfair he gets to stay at the expense of better dancers.

TBH I don't find him remotely funny. I think Mark is funny and he appears to really put some effort into making his routine entertaining. I just look at Dave and think ......what a prize idiot.

 

Surprised Abi was in the dance off.

Well said Baz, I have had it up to here with him

Me too Squiggle I was annoyed last week , when Deborah and Patrick were in the dance off ! TBH , although I still enjoy the show I have found this , and what I consider to be the over marking during this series , very annoying !!

I do think both Rachel and Abbey have a tendency to be dragged around a bit, but Dave has long out-stayed his welcome. My absolute honest opinion this week was Mark and Dave in dance off Dave leaving. Mark is funny and I like him very much, but he is not progressing.

I agree with all of that Cologne

I agree, the marking used to mean something.  Now they can't seem to wait to start doling out the 8's, 9's and even 10's.  You never used to see 10's until the semi-final, and the quality of the celebrity dancers has definitely dropped.  We don't seem to get the likes of Jill Halfpenny, Mark Ramprakash, Ali Bastian, Matt Baker, Dani Harmer and Chris Hollins any more sadly..

I agree Squiggle . An 8, 9 and particularly a 10 , used to be something special...now they are two a penny ! And it also annoys me when people like Natalie , who has a lot of dance training/experience are included in the mix ! It makes a bit if a mockery of the premise behind the show IMO .  

Dave and Mark in the dance off, Dave gone 

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy .....at last ! 

yayyyyyyyyyyyyy - good

Right result at last !

At last.

Oh hoo-blooming-ray!!! I like Dave, he's a doll and all that, he just can't dance and has stayed in when those way better have gone.

 

AND I am sooooooooo happy that my darling Anton is off to Blackpool!! Happy, happy, happy 

 

I also can't stand Abi...why are the judges so in love with her? Where were her facial expressions during the Chalreston? It would seem the judges make allowances for botox.... anyhoo...can't warm to her at all and that's that! 

 

Oh yeah...and I may be more than a teeny bit in love with Kevin from Grimsby 

Hello btw 

Yay!! At last - I don't normally look at this thread but I was getting so desperate for Dave to go! Common sense prevails.... 

 Hi Mrs B and Liverbird.

 

Dave going is the right decision.

pleased with the result

Hey lB and Mrs B Lovely to see you both

I agree with all that Mrs B  

Bumps (waits for Baz) 

* ignores* ,

Oh come on FFS!   I'm out tomorrow night - I want the spoiler this week and I want it NOW!!!

I think it's usually about 10 ish or later Kaffy  

Ah right.... as you were...
