Strictly Blackpool weekend

[TheOstrich]

Outraged at the judges' marking tonight !!

How on earth could they give Natalie's careful Charleston the same marks as Susanna and Kevin's incredible paso ??

We also found the backing dancers to the contestant's performances rather off-putting - did they use them because the Tower Ballroom is so large?

Mark and Fiona should be in the dance-offs but I do worry for Sophie and Abby with fickle voting .....

I think Craig's place is to mark down, so the others can look 'nice' but at the end of the day they end up in the right spots, which if you look at the leader board they did.

I have no interest in Natalie. She is good but leaves me cold. Amazing what she can do with a bulging disc isn't it?

Loved Kevin and Susanna, actually cried when they got their 10's soft fool I am.

Still not keen on Patrick.

Loved Suzanna and Kevin tonight, they were excellent.
Also loved both Abbey and Sophie too.

Actually it's making us quite cross the way they keep going on about Natalie's back. She really wouldn't be able to dance if it was truly that bad regardless of how many injections she's had

Bottom two this week by quite a way were Mark and Fiona. It will be sad to see anyone else go at this stage, but who knows how the public vote will go.

Absolutely gobsmacked by, in particular, Darcy's blatant overmarking tonight No way was Abby's dance worth any 10s, everything that Craig said about her and others had been said by us while watching it. Natalie leaves me cold too, Shell, I think she is so false and a real drama queen, I'm still completely sceptical about her so-called collapse last week. I thought Susannah was very good tonight. Mark should be the obvious one to go this week, and maybe Fiona in the bottom two with him. Loved seeing the Tower Ballroom though, and thinking to myself that we've danced on it so many times, and will be there again in a few weeks Where they go to talk to Tess and get their scores is just at the top of the stairs down to the toilets!!

I recorded the programme tonight so that we can watch it together when Mrs A is here,
and I tried not to take too much notice.

The bits I did see seemed of a very high standard this week, and there were a lot of 10s from the judges.
