As much as I like Mollie, Aston was by far the better dancer throughout the whole series so far and shouldn't have been let go because of one weaker performance. Every other performance has been amazing. The outcome was in Shirleys hands and she made a bad decision. Head judges shouldn't make bad decisions, so SHE needs to go. I hope she isn't back next season.

well you are as good as your most recent performance, and this was Aston's weakest dance, wrong choices with the choreography, hairdresser, dentist dream sequence of Janette's kiss hand


Mollie had a more technically difficult but more beautifully gracefully danced foxtrot, also everything suited the theme, 1940's the outfits, music and style of the dance

thanks for liking Mollie, and she needs more votes from now on, just do not rely on others for voting for her, and i actually am grateful for Craig and Shirley making the right decision even though they would've known about the negative impact

so just don't blame Mollie and let's give her a break from this awful dance off for 1 week okay

A dance off is a stupid idea in the first place. It means someone who has been consistently terrific for weeks versus someone who is less talented can get voted off due to a small mistake or having one off - night. Madness.
The person with the lowest votes should go, no matter who it is, then people would vote more for their favourite, as they know they can't rely on the judges to save someone who has been brilliant throughout. It's a fairer way to do it.

Len would have saved Aston, because he was the overall better dancer. It's the reason he saved Peter, even though he wasn't the best in the dance off. Shirley is complete joke as a judge. Even worse. As head judge.

I agree. She's awful and the rumour is that Darcy and her don't get on and Darcy is going to leave at the end of this series because of it.

fair, she didn't look at the dance off, where the judges should base their votes to save upon

but better luck next time Nessa, maybe the hot weather guy Schafernaker could be someone for you to support (and secretly for me as well)

She would be a much better head judge than Shirley, who is way too biased

I honestly was perplexed and cringing at that .
SCD gets too gimmicky in some routines . I know some of them want to entertain and tell a story but a lot of it doesn't make sense and it's a nuisance and embarrassing in the dance .

that and the fact of aston's fans not voting for him, while he was clearly in danger of going home, i had that feeling on Saturday night, he might go home

the judges haven't said anything about his footwork, well i saw he was pigeon toed again and it had MJ moves, i don't like that, no messing with VW one of my fave ballroom dances

I think it was the worst thing to have a dance off , it's inconsistent and redundant as the judges don't always save the better dancer .

The judges have too much power and seem to get a high from having someone's fate in their hands .

I honestly think the dance off and judges final decision has lost its original path , Len supported this new format because DJ spoony got kicked out years ago purely on the public vote and he had potential.

But I think Len himself was too sure of himself that this new system would work , that is until Gabby & Penny found themselves in the dance off and they were 2 good dancers .

So I think it's pointless as most the time a good dancer or 2 good dancers will always find themselves in the B2 and it's not a nice thing to choose from.

And it's frustrating and annoying making the celebrities dance again to prove themselves .

So I think they should bring back the public vote as the decider , and I know atleast 2 other forum members on here feel the same way.

Maybe it will encourage more voting and give people a wake up call who knows , and it's straight to the point no messing about.

I also miss the time limit we use to have to vote which use to be alot longer than flipping half an hour , just think the difference if people had more time to vote.

I remember in the early series , I'm sure people could vote all week to save their favorite.

they did save the better dancer in this particular dance off


btw Aston has new dance experience now, some newly learned ballroom skills he should at least be proud of going out at the halfway point, and not the first weeks, having friendships with Janette and Brian and Gorka the Corka


i just hope you and Nessa will feel the same sympathy for me when Mollie is eliminated, and i hope people won't be calling her a loser either, cause she has done herself proud so far for dancing in front of millions of people

Aston as well, his fans are all proud of him i know that


as for the glitterball trophy i hope Debbie or Joe wins

Im not like some childish people who gloat and laugh at others expense .

When Mollie goes then she goes I'm not going to make fun of that .
She doesn't seem to be getting as much support as I thought she would though.

People will keep voting for the two duffers. Even when at the expenses of the good dancers. Mollie, Gemma, Johnnie and Joe will all go

Tbh Gemma is very mediocre and her Saturday performance was disappointing and lacked technique and the lifts were clumsy .

Joe has improved but I don't think he's good enough.

Jonnie's performance was underwhelming.

But clearly Ruth is the worst dancer , this happens every year when bad comedy dancers get saved . Last year Ed balls lasted a while as well
.

Ruth and Susan are clearly topping the votes and won't leave any time soon. So all the good dancers will go.

She doesn't seem to be getting as much support as I thought she would though.
Mollie has a decent fanbase but most of them aren't voting though

it's also nice of Mollie and AJ keeping a low profile on social media this week, just avoiding the whole Aston shocker chaos, and it is chaos with mollie getting the blame by some bitter people

so hope they are just laying the focus on the paso technique, and hopefully she'll do better this week, or better she has in fact done really well with the dancing, her cha cha wasn't a dance disaster which was also good

only her week 1 jive which i didn't like

Brace yourselves. All the good dancers will go one by one. Ruth and Susan won't go. And neither Alexandra and Debbie. So do your maths.

oh well, producers will be disabling the voting lines on purpose to get rid of the ones who they want to get rid of this year


cause last year Ore won, and he was a public fave, and the year before Jay won another public fave


so this year is the year of the producers fave


poor Mollie, she's also a victim of the producers
