Charles clearly not liked by the public for some reason....don't know what. He is a far better dancer than some of them, and I suspect there is only a limited time the judges can save him before they bow to public pressure! I agree with this statement. I watched on Saturday to rubberneck the “dance of shame” and I ended up wondering if there was some sort of background info about him I was missing. I still can’t work out the criteria for being on this show. If Danny John Jules was in Starlight Express (which admittedly I have not seen) does that not make him a trained dancer? Or do they just think it was so long ago? (Apologies if this has already been discussed) |

(Apologies if this has already been discussed) There's no rule against trained dancers - even trained dancers don't often have a lot of ballroom and Latin experience. The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned - I'd be delighted with a whole series full of trained dancers. Then it would actually be Strictly Come DANCING, not Strictly Come let's use a load of props so we only have to learn 30 seconds of actual dancing... |

Oh yes the props and the "story telling" have completely taken over the dancing. I am amazed none of the judges (especially Shirley) has picked up on this. Len would have called it "faffing about"!

Len would lay down the law about certain points and it is a pity that Shirley doesn't do the same. As head judge with the casting vote she has a fair amount of power.

I’m conscious that we have two threads running about SCD at the moment. People are understandably posting across the spoiler thread and the main thread.
The spoiler thread is intended for discussion about the spoiler, in other words the period between Saturday night’s performances and the results show on Sunday night.
Could I suggest that after the results show on sunday night we lock the spoiler thread for the rest of the week so that SCD discussion takes place in one thread. Then we open the spoiler thread after the live show on Saturday.
Thoughts?

I think locking this topic each Monday until Saturday would make sense.

So it's apparently Vick and Seann in the dance off according to the spoiler. Judges saved Seann, Vick goes home.

Correct result based on that dance-off given their dances this week (though neither were good), but such a shame for Vick. She had so much potential and I blame Graziano entirely for her exit - his choreography is dreadful and he clearly can't teach proper technique either. Though maybe that isn't surprising given how poor his own dancing is...he should never have been hired.

Shirley did call out the faffing this week. Sad for Vick who was promising in ballroom. But yes, it was all about Graziano, wasn’t it? I wonder if he will be in next year. I suppose they have contracts. He seems a nice lad but a bit too much in front of his partner. Contrast Pasha who always presents his partner to her advantage.

They tried to make Vick the 'sexy' one this year - with the excessively revealing costumes. She didn't have the technique to back it up
But Seann should have gone. He just can't dance either.

Both dances were iffy - I suppose a close call, but I think Vick had more potential. Graziano was definitely to blame with the choreography for her exit.

Glad Seann's gone, hope this is just an off week for Graeme as he isn't the worst left. Ranj needs to go!

Ranj is smiley and enjoying himself.
Lauren just seems stiff and mardy every week. There is no performance factor from her.
So I would say goodbye to her first.
But it was the right result tonight. Seann was not on the beat once during that dance. It takes a very special skill to dance a waltz on the second beat of the three.

The right result this week. Most weeks so far in fact. A lot of good dancers though this year, hard to call it. Though as we all know, those at an advantage rarely win no matter how good they are. My bet is on Joe at the moment.

This will upset some people - if confirmed.... (there is some doubt at the moment):
Ranj & Janette
Charles & Karen
Going home is Dr Ranj
** Now confirmed **

I would have thought Ranj would have a bigger fan base than Danny John Jules (but maybe I am not understanding how Strictly exits work?)

So how many dance offs has Charles been in and yet the judges get rid of Dr Ranj in his first?
Does Charles share the same agent as Craig?
Boo.

Funnily enough they're supposed to save the better dancer, previous is irrelevant. And on that basis the result was indisputable. I would have thought Ranj would have a bigger fan base than Danny John Jules (but maybe I am not understanding how Strictly exits work?) The way Strictly exits work is that after Halloween and before Blackpool the weaker dances left do tend to get weeded out. So on that basis Lauren or Kate should probably go next week as the unlucky person eliminated just before Blackpool. |

Well we all know that's not really true and if indeed that's really what they are supposed to do then the judges are wildly inconsistent with that. |
