The scoring was all over the place this week, not really consistent. In my opinion Will and Alex didn’t deserve to be at the bottom.

On twitter they are saying that the Dev phone line crashed and he should have had many more votes which would have kept him out of the bottom two. Anyone know about this?

There's no such thing as a Dev phone line. If the system goes down, which it does sometimes, you won't be able to vote for anyone not just one person.
He was 4th from bottom and there is very little crossover between his fanbase and the Strictly audience, based on that there's no real shock he went out.

The most ridiculous of stupid conspiracy theories. All the phone lines are a central number, it is only the last two digits that change, so if his line was down then they all were, as plenty of people also said on Saturday night. People that desperate to vote for him could have done so online anyway. |

We get this every year.
I am sure that it is also being said that Strictly voters are racist.
It was a dull routine. It didn't make people want to vote for him.
Yes there are weaker dances. But we know that is not how the voting works on this show.

But we know that is not how the voting works on this show. It had occurred to me that both dance off celebs were BAME but David James was saved over a white person in the first two weeks and Alex Scott who was bottom of the leaderboard was saved, so no justification there. I have no idea what Strictly's BAME viewership is but I know where I work a lot of BAME watch it as much as white people. |

There is rarely any justification for the racist claims that have been made about the show in the past - but they get made nonetheless It was a bit of a shock result - but not totally surprising given the lacklustre choreo |

The 'racist' claims always make me roll my eyes. Especially on a show with two black pros, a black judge, and at least two black former champion celebs! The whole group of professionals is a celebration of diversity if ever I saw one. They've even got a ginger! 😉😂
People moaning about the result when they didn't both voting as well. I roll my eyes every Monday morning in the office. 'Oh he was so good, he didn't deserve to go'. Didn't vote? Then it's your fault isn't it, Sharon.

Another week, another set of cliches.
Started with a very jerky Cha Cha. Choreography let him down there. And I really don't like it when they sing along.

Poor jive technique. No showmanship.
He should have gone before now and should not be saved again

Wrong music for a tango. She looked very uncomfortable throughout. Didn't enjoy at all

A couple of clunky moves apart that was a very decent salsa. Hate the song but it was a good piece of dance overall

Michelle acted that beautifully. Lovely frock. It felt very grown up. She is a class act. Not a great dancer but still a classy one

Anton isn't great at the Paso. It was not a well put together dance. Nice frock though

Loved the arrangement of the music. Choreography was fun. Give Neil a better partner and that would have been upper 30s. She really didn't nail the style. But she tried hard

That was a very dull VW. Doesn't deserve such praise. It was pedestrian with some pretty drapes
Ridiculous overmarking there. That was 28-30 not 36. Judges trying to justify keeping her last week

What’s going on with those devices on the judges desk? They look like calculators. Are they sharing scores before the paddles go up?

This Samba is just embarrassingly awful.
No redeeming features at all
