He only got 25 points - which put him very near the bottom of the leaderboard - so was in trouble from the start

Big shock he went even though he only scored 25 points, I thought Mollie may have gone being in Dance off two weeks in a row with judges saying they think Aston was better dancer overall. I know Tess says it is based on that dance alone but if judges decide to take wider view they cannot be made to change their minds.
Feel sorry for Janette as she is a fantastic little dancer and has a great personality and I was really looking forward to seeing their showdance. I honestly had them down as finalists with Alexandra from about week 2 with another or another 2 and that was my view up until tonight

He was dreadful tonight - middle of the road and very stodgy. Shirley very good with her critiques. Mollie not streets ahead but preferred her. Obviously I haven't seen the dance-off yet but assuming they perform as they did tonight, I can't blame the judges for the result.
Soft spot for Ruth and Anton getting bigger and bigger. Think they'll go a decent bit further due to the legions of This Morning and Loose Women viewers that will be voting. But I like them.
Is Blackpool happening again this year? Two weeks today?

Yes that was a shock. Although Aston was dire last night, mostly down to poor choreography and the way it was staged with his awful costume and wig. He is the better dancer but not on last nights performance.

Quite right too. He's not improved at all since week one. Alexandra next please.

As nice as he is, Jonnie is the contestant who I think is on borrowed time. His last few dances have been a right mess and I think the judges have been very kind to him.
I think he'll last a while longer yet though.

I did fear that might happen to Jonnie tonight - he wasn't at his best. But even his worst is better than Ruth's best.

Yes, about time. Apart from last week the celebs leaving are the poorer dancers this year which makes a change from previous years.

She was really poor. Anton is supposed to be the king of the foxtrot so what happened there? I think maybe what happened is that she gave up a little it being a few weeks in quite enough thank you and I’ve got stuff to get on with kind of thing 😳

Oh phew I was a bit worried for Jonnie. Poor Ruthie, she wasn't good but she gave it a good crack every week. But I thin it was the right stage to go. Glad to see Jonnie and Susan make it to Blackpool.

Well the right person went. Jonnie shouldn't have been there though so I'm pleased he went through.

Glad Ruth went - there now seems to be a gap between the top 4 - Debbie, Alex, Davood, Joe and the other 4 - Susan, Gemma, Mollie, Jonnie.
Only Mollie, Jonnie and Davood have been in bottom 2 so we don't know how many public votes say Gemma and Susan are getting, so guessing who goes next could be hard. Jonnie will probably get a bounce next week in public votes as Mollie may have done this week so Gemma could be in danger as Susan has outscored her sometimes and may get the Scottish vote and the popular vote for being a trier and bringing some comedy to it.

Blimey - didn't see that result coming
Debbie v Jonnie in the dance off
Debbie didn't have a good night - but that was undeserved
Jonnie was stitched with a bad routine and a bad look. Something more traditional would have saved him (though not against Debbie)
Susan was the worst dancer on the night and survived.
Bye Jonnie - you did well but not as well as may had hoped.

Mollie must have got a big voting hike as she was behind Debbie on Leader's board. We don't know what percentage of Public votes Susan is getting, she may be seen as the underdog but Jonnie could well be seen as a great role model given his disability. I thought this week it might be a truer vote as people have got to Blackpool so it's not like they are missing out on making the trip.
Debbie will probably get a big vote hike next week which could put Mollie in danger again with possibly Susan.
I had thought that this year was breaking into two groups - Alex, Debbie, Joe, Davood and then Gemma, Mollie, Jonnie and Susan but Gemma had a big week this week so could she be seen as a contender or is it a one week bounce.

So has it been leader board points not voters keeping Debbie so far? Thought post Aston people would be voting to make sure they're favourites stayed in so ....?

I think it is more likely that she had a corny routine that didn't resonate in a style that didn't suit. She has got through the party dances now - she can focus on ballroom for most of the rest - which will suit her far better

Debbie as Ginger Spice doing a samba - not good! but far better than Susan and her stomping

I thought this week it might be a truer vote as people have got to Blackpool so it's not like they are missing out on making the trip. The truer vote is sometimes the week after Blackpool - that's when Ed Balls was eliminated last year. I won't be surprised if Susan goes next week. Sad to see Jonnie go, but more because I love Oti and her creativity more than particularly caring about Jonnie as a dancer. I really admire what he's achieved, but he had plateaued over the last few weeks. I'm surprised Mollie has such a strong vote, but the next few weeks will be a test for her. Debbie had a terrible week this week but should be back in ballroom and get a post-dance off bounce next week. I suspect it'll be Mollie v Susan next week - they are likely to be both at the lower end of the leaderboard and the lowest scorers in the Paso Doble-a-thon. |
