I have said a couple of years now, A J plans and presents the best and most challenging routines, getting next to no credit from the judges, particularly Darcey Bussell, who I suspect even more has a low opinion of or respect for A J, moreso than against his series partner/s.

Only thing I will say, sometimes A J includes too many lifts.
His lifts are usually well planned and entertaining, however too many in a routine can pull up the fluidity of the routine.

I hope the public keep voting for them, they have done great to be there in the last 7.
However one thing is sure the moment they are in the dance off,if they were, no matter who they are up against, they will be out, via Darcey first and foremost, then Craig and Shirley too.

Darcey is for me now an awful judge, too biased and false, Craig's pantomime villain act is way too monotonous now, Shirley is an awful replacement for Len Goodman.
Bruno sadly now is getting worse with his over the top demonstrative behaviour.

Great show ruined by the judges.
Remove all their voting paddles for me and now just leave all to the public.
No dance off, which is done Saturday night anyway but presented as being done Sunday.

Let the judges comment but not try to influence by any voting.
Or being able to save their favourites often week after week the same one, who the public put in the dance off.

Anyway, good luck to Lauren and A J this week again.

well said, unnecessary hate from judges towards AJ since he does everything right in terms of basic dance content, no more illegal lifts where he did get penalised for in his first year, and he truly loves strictly, which explains him having his own tour in March, so he can also do the strictly live tour which is in january

but yes good luck to Lauren & AJ
