The feature clearly anticpates that that most inept of dancers will remain in the show. How stupid do you think we all are?

So glad to read that I'm not alone in my thinking that there is a distinct bias in the judges treatment of Scott!
And what's the betting no matter what he'll be awarded at least two 10's this evening! :(
Go on Matt / Pamela / Kara - Ye are all brilliant xxx

The professionals put many hours of time to enable their partners to progress as dancers, and this farce goes on week after week. Why have judges if the judging isn't about dancing, you might just as well have a panel of veiwers or comics or cricketers. Come on now enough is enough.

However I must congratulate Ann for her work with the donkeys in Israel, for that reason I don't dislike her as much as I did BUT please let the good , no FABULOUS , dancers go through this week PLEASE.

Too bad she seems destined to beat out many who have obviously worked hard and have talent. Sad that many viewers either have no clue about good dancing or just want to make a joke out of Strictly Come Dancing by continuing to support Ann.

What is it about Matt and Aliona, I personally think as usual they were undermarked, they deserved at least 3 10's. Scott was not as good as he should be and it is about time 'Pretty Boy Gavin was knocked out. I do not think that Katya and Atrim deserved the high marks that they got.
I do think that it is a Stitch Up and the final result is all cut and dried.
If this is so I shall not be watching Strictly again, it is about the dancers not about the personality of the Celebraties or the Professionals, surely they should be judged on that merit alone.
Once again I think it os about time the Ö÷²¥´óÐã got rid of Alesha, she is absolutely useless as a judge. I think the Ö÷²¥´óÐã should approach Karen Hardy who is a professional dancer and does know what she is talking ahout.

Not pleased to hear Ann is to go on the tour as I have booked my tickets and she will ruin it as she has almost ruined the show for me. If she doesn't think it's a dance competition why are the professionals working so hard. Poor Anton surely he doesn't want to win in such a stupid way...his street cred will be zero!

At 4th Dec 2010, IrishMattFan wrote:How Grooooovy were Matt and Aliona????? Given a seriously hard theme and song to jive to he did a fantastic job!!!!! Wonderful acting throughout by a PRESENTER... not actor! And wow, that back somersault. Undermarked once again. Pam and Kara danced beautifully too and although Gavin did dance much better this week he is still way behind those 3. Don't know why he got 9s. I think the Ö÷²¥´óÐã should now listen to the viewers and step Alesha down as a judge, she has had 2 years, long enough for someone who doesn't know about dancing......and longer for someone who murders the English language each week. Karen Hardy would be a wonderful replacement, as would Lilia...... who seems to have disappeared. Also, Len has totally gone down in my estimation, has his favourites and maximises their marks each week. I would suggest Craig steps up as head judge as he is fair and consistent, with someone like Matthew Cutler or Ian Waite taking over.
Enjoyed movie week, but again strange scoring! Yeah baby!

If he had been able to do a traditional jive as Scott did, he would have got four 10's. Last week Aliona messed up his American smooth. She has the most talented celebrity, why is she not getting out of him what Natalie gets out of Scott....... I also feel the judges are biased against Matt. Scotts scores last week were a JOKE.

I am sure you are entitled to a refund of your Tour tickets under the trade descriptions act.
It is being sold as a dance extravaganza - Anne does not and never will dance. If there were a mass demand for refunds perhaps Ö÷²¥´óÐã would have to concede that 'the customer is always right' I was lucky I heard about Anne so I did not buy the 4 tickets I had planned as Christmas gifts. £240 is a lot of money to waste.
Why did'nt Kara get 4 tens last night she was every bit as good if not better than Pam, oh! I forgot it weas not her birthday was it. If points were awarded strictly for ability Anne would not get any. 5 every single week from Len - is he past it.

On the other hand Anne is hilarious, a great tonic and brightens the show. She is a big favourite of the viewers and if she gets their vote she deserves to win- anyway if not for Ann, Anton deserves credit for his efforts!! ???? Anton the next Brucie.

If it is genuine affection, great. We all like that, If it is cruel people laughing at her ,to see what Anton can come up with next, not so great. Either way she is here, but the contrast between Pam aged 61, and Ann, aged 63, is almost tragic. Good luck for the final Pam! Judith bristol

I do however accept the terms and conditions and quite understand the need to monitor. However, I cannot remember any offensive comment or language which may have upset anyone . I honestly think that Alesha Dixon is a poor judge and ahould go and also feel that Bruce Forsyth needs to be replaced for the next series. Pamela is by no means the best dancer but the routine from Ghost showed off her ability very well. If there is some other reason for the withdrawal of my comments then I cannot think what it could be but since I will not be watching in future it is of no consequence.

At 5th Dec 2010, jacqui wrote:I agree that this is a dance competition and can see why people get angry at this stage that Ann is still in - I too think it's now at a stage where it would be a shame for her to stay in at the cost of a real potential winner. HOWEVER, the judges are out of order to make the harsh comments they made last night - even Alesha saying that Ann had made no progress when clearly Ann actually danced some steps last night and made an effort to dance rather than be part of a comedy act for probably the first time so far! If the judges want it to be a dance competition why do the programme organisers (do the judges have any say) invite people like Ann to take part when clearly she doesn't have any natural ability or physique to dance?? Ann has entered into this programme with enthusiasm and good humour and IS making an effort. I'm beginning to wonder how much of the judges comments and scores are a fix - perhaps there should be a clearer indication of what they are looking for in a winner if they are taking it so seriously ie someone who has improved the most, has the most ability, is the most game to take part???? Also, are they scoring everyone individually or comparing them - if individually then Matt should have had higher scores - and probably 10s - a lot earlier! If Ann does win then I hope she sticks by her word and gives Anton the trophy as he has obviously worked like a trouper with her and good for her to have taken part too. Rant over!! :D

Scott gets marked up every week why? have thejudges already decided who they want to win, or at least who gets to the final. i think Matt has been best all the way through this, Matt to win. Last week should have been a 40, this week Austin Powers was they only dance that had any real link to the film.

At 8th Dec 2010, Zoe wrote:@ all the comments against Gain and Katya,
before you say Gavin and Katya's foxtrot was in any way bad, you should look at the scoring. They got 33, which is pretty good by everyone's standards. Then, if you look at everyone elses Foxtrots, they actually got the joint highest score of the entire series, along with Pamala and James. That means they got higher scores than Kara and Matt. So it was actually a really good performance and the top so far.
Oh and in answer to your question tlbloveshoes, I am seeing in Gavin, a man who is completly out of his comfort zone, but still trying incredibly hard to do well and plaese Katya. I don't even care if he is the worst dancer left in, I will still vote for them as many times as I can as I know how much he wants to be get through. (Plus they are my altime favouite couple, but that's beside the piont)
