I hope that one of the low vote getters actually leaves this week.

The public does need to be respected a little bit.

which is why i prefer lets dance, no dance offs means those with lowest amount of votes is out each week

although there have been quite some series, where an eliminated couple is reinstated after withdrawal of another couple

Barbara Meier for example, she was originally eliminated in week 4, was reinstated due to Jimi Blue's withdrawal and made the final in 3rd place

Tbf I would treat that similar to American Idol's save system that they used to have back in the day, I actually don't mind that for one contestant.

And I don't mind Strictly having one contestant that's being dragged through despite doing bad in the vote, but three to four (depending on if Montell's bottom two trip was a fluke) contestants being dragged to the end is going to kill any sense of competition.

I hope that Strictly understands that Chris has to face some people who can get some votes.

My preference to leave this week would be Shayne, or JB and Tasha unfortunately as I don't dislike them personally, but I will settle for one of them if I can't get Shayne.

But it'll probably end up being Wynne or Jamie, who have an actual vote with the public.

[Nicky91]

gonna watch tonight's show back tomorrow after lunch

[arista]

Nicky Edit the Title

it is 6:35PM tonight

[Kate!]

My thoughts so far....

Tasha. Stunningly beautiful.
Shayne. Very good
Sarah. Smashed it.
Pete. Not very good. The judges overmarked him for his sob story.
JB. Amazing

[Kate!]

Jamie and Michelle absolutely stormed it and the judges were deliberately mean with their comments.

[Kate!]

Ok performance from Wynne. I begrudge saying that lol cos I really don't like him but I'll be fair.

[Kate!]

Not fussed on that from Montell either. Don't get the love for her.

[Mystic Mock]

I'm getting sick to death of two things from this particular series.

1. Trapping popular contestants with the public on the leaderboard with even more popular contestants with the public on the leaderboard. Just to knock them into the bottom two and eliminate them.

2. Can someone honestly pass me the sick bucket? Every time Chris performs we get every single judge say the most saccharin stuff imaginable, it's really beginning to **** me off as he isn't being treated like the other contestants, instead he is being placed on a pedestal above everyone else which is insufferable to watch.

I really don't like modern Strictly tbh, it's pushing me closer to quitting it every single year, and I used to really enjoy the Show years ago.

This series seems to be so disrespectful to the public vote that I'm guessing that the final four will be Chris, Tasha, Shayne, and JB.

I also thought that Jamie did a decent job, even if I think that the Music didn't really fit the dance.

But to put him below Wynne and Chris is disgraceful imo.

I loved it. It's a shame. With traditional music he would have got higher scores.
But it was still brilliant. I love their chemistry on the dancefloor.

Not sure on that last point Mock.
I get the feeling Ms Ballas would throw Shayne out, given the chance, from her comments tonight

It didn't do a lot for me tonight sadly did Strictly, I can see your point about it pushing to be a turn off more.
I do though really blame the judges for that myself.
They were totally irritating tonight.

I agree with you that the judges don't help Joey.

They're really harsh on some contestants, whilst giving a pass to others.

[Nicky91]

Tasha overscored again i see


with her nonsense quickstep dance content



production really stitched up Shayne in the #2 slot after production pet Tasha (who never can do no wrong)


Sarah also overmarked, that performance was more worth 3's at best, boo hoo a special song to her blah blah blah


Jamie overmarked, zero chemistry whatsoever between him and Michelle




JB was the best honestly, Amy being gone and him topping the ******* leaderboard two weeks now, this is the best thing happening to him on this show, Lovely Lauren's impact



Wynne likely is a goner this week i think



Chris and Pete i am not saying anything about, those had free passes into blackpool no matter how they danced, since no one ever leaves on a ''no rules'' couples choice freestyle

[joeysteele]

Absolutely disgraceful.
Ms Ballas is totally awful.

Shocking result just on her pathetic vote.
No need for a head judge if it's a tie take it back to the public vote.

Any other vote would be better than decided by Ms Ballas
