Not a Ore fan. He has had some good dances
Ore should of gone, a bit full of himself.
This is the reason why people are so down on Ore not because he is dancing with a Clifton! After his jive he assumed a sense of superiority over the other celebs. I really think he thought he was going to win! And now he is unable to reach those heights again yet still has that arrogance when he dances!
I was at the cinema tonight so was unable to watch/vote. Will catch up tomorrow but based on previous weeks I’m happy with that result – looking forward to the semi finals 🙂
Gutted for Judge, he has worked so hard & improved so much. Claudia was amazing tonight as always & in my opinion underscored X
No definitely not, she made mistakes and didnt deserve a ten at all, of course the same can be said for everyone else as they all made mistakes this week.
Well then as you say Danny and Louise should not have got 10s
To be honest – I thought this was the worst week
I miss past shows – when the professional dancers did West Side Story I remembered Frankie and Kevin’s dance to this
To be honest- yes Danny can dance BUT have we had real stand out moments in this series as we have had in the past?
I actually think Ed provided the most this year
I agree this week noone deserved a ten as they all made mistakes, i think that Ore has come the closest to standout with the jive he and jo did….. as for ed… he provided the most entertainment yes but not talent
Actually I think Ore’s Singing in the Rain was better than his jive – simply Gawjus!! ?
I thought Ore’s singing in the rain was the best dance this series too. But Ed’s gangnam style was definitely standout and I won’t forget that in a hurry! ?
If ever I feel down- guaranteed to make me smile!
Wow yes i forgot about that one ?
In my opinion there have been many stand for it moments this series, some of mine are:- Danny’s Argentine Tango/Charleston, Ore’s American Smooth to singing in the rain, Greg’s American Smooth in movie week to everything I do
Yes true, they were good
But this year no one has really grabbed me as a favourite- though I did like Greg
In the past I have had people I have really rooted for- Jay, Frankie (though Caroline was a very worthy winner) Louis, Harry etc
Maybe out of who is left Claudia- because I can imagine her doing a phenomenal show dance! And she reminds me of my daughter…..??
Good thing I can miss tomorrow’s show. The thoughts of a gushing Robert is already making me ill. If I hear one more time how much he loves dancing….
Ore next week for sure!
Yeah I’m hoping Ore goes next week too. I’ll be bunging Claudia as many votes as I can to try and make sure Ore goes
The only way that Ore should be eliminated is if hes bottom of the leader board next week not because you dont like him
The judges aren’t always right and they’re used as a guide. Ore gets over-marked every week. That has got nothing to do with this clifton thing. Don’t forget we’re all entitled to our own opinion (as you are yours). Every person has a favourite because if we all just voted for who was at the bottom each week ed would’ve gone in week 1. In my opinion Claudia has been under marked for weeks. Ore was not a 9 this week. My issue with him is he has no connection with Joanne during the dance. The guy did & got good comments for a couple of dances and his ego is massive. He either pouts and does the same stupid look when he is getting actual advice during his comments or crys when they inflate that ego. The sad thing for me is if ore and claudia got in the bottom 2 they’ll save him regardless on who actually deserves it on the night. Claudia listens to advice each week and improves every week. Ore has stood still since his jive because he already thinks he wonderful. It’s the judges erratic marking that’s the issue (except maybe Craig) not who WE decide is our favourite, who we vote for and who we want to talk about.
I actually dont have a favourite i vote for the couple who i think has done the best dance on the night basically the dance i was most affected by and using the judges comments and scores as a guide(as they are the experts) i then vote. So my vote changes most weeks. What makes me mad is when i hear or see comments like “i wont vote for suchabody because they are with a clifton” or that they are being shown favouritism. And ive seen that frequently on here and heard it elsewhere. Yes we are all entitled to an opinion and what i love about this blog is the diversity of everyone that posts. But i still believe that we need to vote for who we think is doing the best job on the night. I dont believe that claudia is being undermarked at all as i dont feel a connection between the two of them. I feel that with ore but i understand not everyone will feel the same. Never the less the result this week was correct.
There is no connection between Claudia and AJ when they dance which is what has stopped her from getting more 10s. I like Claudia but don’t think she has been under marked in the past.
Claudia and Ore will most likely be in the dance off next week and the judges will save whoever dances better in the dance off.
In your opinion and how you view them. In my opinion she should’ve had a tens last week and her challenges were coming out of her shell which is hard for a lot of sport celebs as in their world everything is so serious but she does listen, improves and gives it all she’s got. The judges marks are erratic, what they “pick up on” in some they “let go” for others so they don’t always judge by their “professional” heads but by their hearts too, just like we vote by which we loved or how it made us feel overall or if we loved the music with it etc etc. Apart from Craig the other judges do have favourites (if Craig does he hides it much better) so when its a “close call” (yes the judges are supposed to go by the dance off alone) the judges can still sway it to their favourites.
I believe It’s also much harder for claudia and AJ to have the deep eye to eye connection than say danny and oti have because she’s so little. Being in hold is tougher too. When you look at most dance pairings they are of similar height or the female is slightly shorter. Fir example as Janette and alijaz ate a couple they tend to dance together and in an interview she joked not everything can be perfect in a relationship and because she’s a lot shorter than him it makes it harder.
I think Ore and Joanne have lost their connection and by the body language on the result show something is up between them and I truly believe he has just not improved or given a great performance since the jive (altho singing in the rain was my favourite of his). Tonight their dance reminded me of the one they did at Halloween which was as dull. I liked them at the beginning but I find him very arrogant as he thinks he’s better than he is. However if we all thought the same, liked the same etc life would be a very dull place and if everyone voted by the judges leader board each week it would be a very predictible and boring show – saying that the BBC would still make everyone involved carry on pretending the results were really filmed on a Sunday!! Lol
He won’t be bottom of the Leader – board though will he? Given the dubious scoring this series we can rely on the judges to make damn sure of that…
Yes, because eliminating people only when they’re bottom of the leader board worked so well for Ed Balls, didn’t it?
The judges aren’t always right and they’re used as a guide. Ore gets over-marked every week. That has got nothing to do with this “clifton” thing. Don’t forget we’re all entitled to our own opinion (as you are yours). Every person has a favourite because if we all voted for who was at the bottom each week ed would’ve gone in week 1. In my opinion Claudia has been under marked for weeks. Ore was not a 9 this week. My issue with him is he has no connection with Joanne during the dance. The guy did & received good comments for a couple of dances and his ego is massive. He either pouts and does the same stupid look when he is getting actual advice during his comments or cry’s when they inflate that ego. The sad thing for me is if ore and claudia got in the bottom 2 they’ll save him regardless on who actually deserves it on the night. Claudia listens to advice each week and improves every week. Ore has stood still since his jive because he already thinks he wonderful. It’s the judges erratic marking that’s the issue (except maybe Craig) not who WE decide is our favourite, who we vote for and who we want to talk about.
If only we could vote from here…I’d like to see Jo win at some stage,her choreography is top class. Maybe next year…
No definitely not it was the right result. Not qite sure why everyone seems to hate ore……hes so nice. Maybe its because hes with a clifton ,everyones so down on them and i cannot understand why they are really talented and lovely dancers. This clifton factor thing ppl keep mentioning…. its all in the imagination stop being ridiculous.
Yes, I too can’t understand this anti Clifton stupidness – perfectly nice people, good dancers ..
What is wrong with people?!
Im not sure and it really annoys me… it started last year when someone said that kevs dad worked on the show and there was favouratism shown…. its not at all true but then again ppl are a bit like sheep where one goes others will follow and who lets the truth get in the way
I agree! I think it was right Ore was in the bottom two this week, but just from a comparison with the other dances. NOTHING to do with this anti Clifton rubbish!
I checked IMDB and no sign of a Clifton in the crew list…
…on the other hand nobody seems to mention that Danny went to the same school as Darcey (and WIll), so no favoritism there of course… oh no…
I didnt realise he went to the royal ballet school white lodge tho i knew he was at stage school didnt think it was there.
His Wikipedia entry:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Mac
Studied at the Arts Educational Schools:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_Educational_Schools,_London
Then check the Notable Alumni section
Calm down i wasnt having a go … i didnt know where he studied
Sorry – didn’t mean to give that impression… just my over-literal mind kicking in
Just a thought tho wouldnt she have to have been at the school at the same time tho to show favouritism?
Sorry I think Ore has been over – marked for weeks. Loved him in the beginning but he hasn’t progressed and he has more mistakes in his routines than Robert Rinder. And I’m finding him difficult to like with all the crying and face-pulling when he gets what is constructive criticism. I’m not keen on Joanne for the same reason. However Danny is also over – marked: his routine was most definitely not the best last night, his posture was wrong and no heel leads. His Charleston was good but not a 40 – the judges got so carried away by a one – handed cartwheel that kids have in their dance routines that they failed to notice all the times he was out of synch with the others or plain out of time. All things the others get marked down for. I suspect Or will make the final though as it will be him v Claudia and the judges really do have it in for her!
I thought this week’s show was a little lack lustre and distracting with the extra dancers. Maybe it is a sign of how tired everyone is getting now.
I always like the opening group dance but this week I was a little disappointed. The usual wow factor was not there for me
I want Danny to win, or Louise, or Claudia Anybody but Ore, who thinks he won it weeks ago. Will do him good to have been in the dance-off, and although I’ve previously supported Robert I think last nights result was correct as the last 2 weeks haven’t been his best and I think he’d already “peaked”.
once the Judge was bottom of the leader board it was virtually mathematically impossible for him not to be in the dance off same next week the bottom of the leader board will be in the dance off even if they are top with the public
