who's gone tonight?

Disappointed with that result. Was hoping Anita would get to the final. I loved Jay last night.

Saw Gleb interviewed after he's been told off for doing a lift in a dance which traditionally shouldn't have one and he said in the US they're allowed to do lifts in any dance.

[MargoTester]

I think Gleb has been told about illegal lifts once before. Anton should replace Bruno, who has become a charicature, as a judge.

Total fix by judges overmarking Kellie's final dance to make sure she's in the final. She is worst dancer by far and I'm sick of seeing Kevin, his wife and his sister hogging the camera. It's become the Clifton show, just like it was the Vincent and Flavia show a few years ago. I hope Kellie and Kev are first out in final, they should have gone weeks ago.

Georgia is so twee

>Total fix by judges overmarking Kellie's final dance to make sure she's in the final.
I'm not sure the judges' scores help the dancers avoid teh dance off - in fact I think a low vote from the judges actually spurs on the callers to save their preferred candidate

[waiglet]

Not so, if favoured dancer tops judges leaderboard it is less likely he or she would be in bottom two, but even if they are, judges can then save them anyway. At leadt viewers have final say when it counts next week to the ever-gurning Kellie and Kevin should have no chance.

[fiction-factory]

If the judges vote 12345, public vote 54321 then it's a dead heat and I think the public vote swings it. In the semi final I don't think anyone was safe, and I think that if someone finishes top of he judges' vote there's a risk of complacency among fans. Certainly those finishing bottom of the judges' vote (eh Carole/Jeremy) fairly regularly avoid the dance off because of public support.
I would be interesting to know whether anyone has ever finished in the top two of the leader board but finished in the bottom two at the end

[Sipowicz]

Do the people who ask "who's gone?" on a Saturday night then watch the Sunday results show? Just curious!

[hc4361]

I do

[woofgang]

me too

[netibiza]

I still think it shouldnt be the best dancer, but the dancer who has come on the best and learned more.
