"I think Brian was absolutely the right choice to go this week - his jive (and even his farewell dance) bought to mind that d*unk Uncle you always get at weddings who thinks he can dance but can't. Was saying earlier though that once Simon and Ruth go (and they should be next barring any disasters) then it's going to start getting serious - those that are left after that (with the possible exception of Susan and Davood) are all capable of winning it - know Alexandra and Aston are the front runners currently but a lot of the others are coming up strong on the quiet (most notably Gemma)." Yes, completely agree with you there | |||

"A bit disappointed at this year's Halloween strictly. Got bored halfway through. Seemed lacking in effort on all aspects. Grumpy judges but they were watching poor efforts to start with." I think this was the difficult tired week but there was good dance and energy from some. They'll regroup next week.  | |||

"Thanks Random! I was really disappointed with Alex, as you said, very underwhelming for her and I didn't like her skirt, didn't do her any justice, or show her lines off. I'm liking Joe now. Aston is a great all rounder and I think Gemma is progressing each week. I think Simon to go tonight. "I think they all lost a bit of vava voom last night with only Davood being the surprise of the night for me. Still an entertaining episode but the celebs appeared less enthusiastic & the dances less energetic. It must be difficult topping each week, but I’ve no doubt we’ve only witnessed the first of many peak moments. It just so happened this might have been Davood’s peak moment. The rest just got appearance money. | |||

"I agree with others, Debbie was overmarked, she was out of time at the start and getting into a lift was lumpy, plus she seemed to stutter at one point. I have seen better dances that didn't get a ten in the past. I thought the whole show wasn't as good as other years and the make up did look like a kid had done half of it. What was Astons face meant to be? His dance I didn't like, sticking Micheal Jackson moves into most dances is not ballroom" I agree that the scoring was off, the 10s in general have felt rather forced to me, in previous years the 10s have come out on a dance when everyone watching has gone “wowee!” but it doesn’t feel like that to me this year. Maybe I got grumpy! | |||

"Well coming second to last tonight might be a wake up call for Aston, though tbf Craig’s score hardly helped his cause. Anyway, I’m sure he’ll be safe from the DO & maybe Janette will ban any further MJ moves when he’s supposed that be focussing on mastering Ballroom or Latin. Certainly those with no previous dance experience are doing just that. We’ll soon know after the Results tomorrow. Anyway, bedtime for me. Chat soon. Goodnight you glittery lot. | |||

Not sure on my thoughts on it but his whole dance did him no favours last night.
I think Debbie was massively over marked last night, Alexandre's tango was a lot better last week in my opinion. For some reason I really like Gemma and Aljaz, and Oti and Jonnie. And Davood.  | |||

"Had him the final three but think Janette got it wrong I feel. The music and choreography just felt wrong." Yeah, it’s a shame he was a finalist all the way but suprises tend to happen every now and then especially if you get two decent dancers in the bottom two, I think when Ruth, Susan and possibly Jonnie go out that’s when the competition will hot up? | |||

"Well said Random, it does seem fixed to me. "Whether it's fixed as in deliberately rigged or perhaps manipulated we'll probably never know - however I do think at times the judges comments/scores can have a massive influence on the public voting - to use a different example from Saturday- Susan's jive was ok, but not earth shattering - in fact I'd go as far as to say it was flat footed, lacked the "bounce" required, and almost seemed to be a series of set sequences rather than a flowing dance and yet, Craig aside, the judges comments didn't reflect that at all - Shirley saying something about them not decorating her house but could jive round it any time - which isn't really a comment on the technical aspects of the dance at all, but does influence the viewers in a positive way. I'm no expert of course, but the number of times I'll pass comment from my untrained eye perspective and Craig will then say something similar and I think he's the one judge that actually tells it like it is. | |||

"In many circumstances I’d agree that Craig’s critiques are normally less ingratiating but perhaps doesn’t always give constructive pointers for the celebs to improve. His scores are usually less than the other Judges & we expect him to be brutal sometimes - but a 4 for Aston? As I’ve also said, it wasn’t his best dance & I was bored of the MJ influences in every dance. So perhaps there are other influences. My own view is that Brendan might leave this year & that Debbie won’t win as the public will have the last say at the final. " Yes 4 was too low. Still think Debbie is being overmarked. You couldn't compare her dance to Davood's dance, with that lift he done! | |||

"Yes 4 was too low. Still think Debbie is being overmarked. You couldn't compare her dance to Davood's dance, with that lift he done! "I agree. I’m guessing Debbie has said yes to the Tour, but nonetheless she’s being overmarked. The Judges need to get their scores in order before the viewers retaliate. All that said, the manipulation of the scores is nothing compared to the revaltion of the Paradise Papers today. So in the big scheme of things it’s small fry. | |||

"SCD BLACKPOOL WEEK 9 REVIEW Mollie/Charleston: Given the challenge of opening the show AJ threw every lift he could at the dance. Mollie still looked a little lost in places but it wasn’t the worst of the night. Susan/PasoDoble: The first of tonight’s Paso’s seemed a big stretch for Susan to cover &, for me, fell short. It seemed to be more of an ego stroke for Kevin & not a showcase for Susan. Is Susan now heading to the DO? Debbie/Samba: Again I found this one disappointing. Maybe it was the spinning camera but even her Samba Rolls came over as lumpy & awkward. Her facial expressions bothered me & I was doubting some of the Judges effusive comments but agreeing with Craig & Darcy about her energy & spiky moments. I just don’t think she’s as good as we’re being told she is now. Jonnie/Tango: By this point I’m starting to miss the US production values on their version (DWTS). Jonnie lacked the amount of attack I’m wanting in a Tango. The usual complaints arose from the Judges, but he did well to be in sync with the other pros, though to be fair that was more to do with the pros than our Paralypian. A possible DO this week? Gemma/American Smooth: This was the first dance of the night where I felt I saw some proper dancing. Gemma was back on form & the Judges rewarded her for showing a big improvement. Davood/Paso Doble: Strong shapes, lots of complex moves spoiled only by the odd spiky hand, but that could be forgiven for the dramatic music chosen for the dance. Still very enjoyable though. Alexandra/Quickstep: Alex never fails to deliver with a dance that had both Quickstep & some Charleston moves reminiscent of a Cotton Club Revue. The dance of the night? Yes, without a doubt. Joe/Samba: Katya is not letting up on Joe as she pushed him hard with content, choreography & lifts. Started off apprehensive & was just really warming up when there was a slight flaw on the last move. To his credit Joe managed to save it & ended the show on a high." As always, pretty much agree, think Johnnie should go tomorrow. Alex is still the winner for me so far, with Davood a strong contender. Debbie, well her worst dance for me, no hip action, very flat. Gemma was much more comfortable tonight as was Mollie. | |||

"Overall disappointed tonight - not sure if it was Blackpool nerves or the added distraction of other dancers or a combination of those factors - only dances I enjoyed were Gemma and Alexandra - the others all felt a little stale and clunky - Johnny and Susan for the dance off IMHO " Yes, I was distracted by the other dancers, didn't think they were necessary for the celebs or the viewers. | |||

It’s such a big space to fill though from both a viewers at home perspective & the audience in the Tower Ballroom, so I completely understand why they throw extra dancers at this show. They’ve had more dancers in DWTS which don’t distract me. Also, don’t forget in real ballroom competitions & the original “Come Dancing” there were teams of dancers as well as individual pairs on the floor in elimination rounds, so it’s not unusual to have many more dancers on a bigger floor than in the studio set up. As it’s only for one or two shows per series I usually find it’s ok to have additional dancers, but agree that some of the camera angles might have been better to show off the celebs this week. | |||

" All fair points, and I don't necessarily have a problem with the "support" dancers, and can see how they might enhance the overall feel of a dance, just find them distracting at times when they take the focus away from the competing couple. Oh and I also now happen to know who was in the dance off, although don'T know the result
Am I alone in thinking it's about time they gave up the pretence of the show being over two actual nights, rather than all being filmed in one as it actually is? | |||

"Gemma, Davood and Joe got my votes tonight. I thought Gemma's lifts were a bit clunky and awkward last week but they were very smooth tonight, a brilliant improvement IMO. Disappointed that the judges didn't comment on that though. I thought Darcy commented on her stronger core going into the lifts, but I’d need to watch again on catchup to confirm. I thought she was much better than last week too. " Just watching again & Darcy said Gemma kept her body “taught” in those lifts. Shirley’s comments were very positive, & in the main so were the boys’ as they both mentioned taking their advice on board. They gave Gemma a two 10’s & two 9’s so she’s definitely back on the up. Certainly better than Debbie this week imho. | |||

"Never watched it before but tonight they are doing my music for some kind of group dance. The clips are horrific but I'll watch just that bit and hope it's not cringeworthy" That's partly how I got sucked in..Madness were appearing one week several years ago so watched for that...hooked ever since!! | |||

"Davood’s Paso definitely better than Susan’s & I go back to something I said earlier - he’s the Mark Wright of this series. A non dancer who has become much better & could be giving Joe a run for his money as the best male celeb. I wasn’t keen on the end walk away & felt it needed a better, more dramatic ending. Easy on the eye too which helps. " Davood acts his characters better than Susan as well as having better footwork. But I love Susan's joy at it all. She took the comments and scores like they were a gift and was grateful. She's unlikely to become the best dancer, even with doing the tour, but she makes one want to dance, just for the joy of it. | |||

"No surprise who was going out between the Bottom Two tonight. I still thought he was much better in the DO than her. " Have to agree with you, Random, not sure what she was doing, very lumpy | |||

"As I already knew the result I didn't see the dance off but no surprise that Johnny went out of the two - barring a major disaster Debbie was always going to be safe - know they say it's supposed to be on that one dance but am sure the judges can't help but be swayed on overall performance since the start" Think you're right Gemini and really it should be on their performances throughout the series, IMO | |||
