    i am sorry but if jonh sargent stays in one more time i will stop waching the show its no longer funny that dancers who or really working hard have to leve when he can not dance a step and acts like its a big joke

  • Jenny Mason

    Hi Claudia,

    Firstly I would like to say just how much I enjoy It Takes Two, almost at much as the show itself, but I have a question for you – dear Claudia, why oh why oh why do you ALWAYS wear black?????? There are other colours out there you know! Take a few tips from the dancers and wear something bright and and uplifting. Black puts years on you. You are young and beautiful – make the most of yourself, you’ll have plenty of time to wear black when you get older.

    Now back to the show. I am enjoying the series very much, although I think its about time John Seargent was out, as much as I like him – he is no dancer. Andrew Castle was more the dancer! All the numpties out there that just feel sorry for him should start to get real and sort out who can REALLY DANCE, the competition will start getting serious pretty soon. So come on start voting for who DESERVES to stay in.

    I have a gripe – the music. When I was younger, I used to go to dancing lessons, I loved the latin. We danced to real dance music, not popular pop music. It was Glenn Miller, and the like, great, real big band sounds. On the show you have a fantastic band – lets have some REAL dance music. “In the Mood” stuff like that? I just loved Brendans Tango last week, oh it was magic, real tango, real music – I’m with Len on this one, lets get it back p l e a s e …….

    thanks, thats me done. feel better now. Looking forward to Saturday night and to the following weeks to come.

    HE SHOULD DANCE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE VOTED FOR HIM AND CHRISTINA NO MATTER WHAT THE JUDGES SAY THEY ARE THE MOST ENTERTAINING AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING THEM DANCE EACH WEEK PLEASE, PLEASE ASK HIM TO CHANGE HIS MIND

  • Andrea

    I think it’s really sad that John was forced out of the competition, he didn’t really have a choice as he was made to feel really uncomfortable, it was a dancing competition but it was also enterntainment and he certainly entertained me, he trained just as much as anyone else so you couldn’t say he wasn’t dedicated. was it really that bad if he won? it wasn’t as if there was a chance of a career change or multi million pound contract at stake for anyone – I THINK IT STINKS.

  • common sense

    We will now have a final with only 2 people. To get back on track , why couldnt Cheri and James be invited back to repeat last weeks dance and then see who gets voted off.It may be them again but at least we would have a better final with the correct numbers.

  • Sheila Crompton

    Glad John has gone, now my husband and myself can enjoy the dancing again.

  • John

    I would like to come up with an idea for a good Ballroom Dancing Competition, perhaps you could pass this on to the BBC hierarchy. Divide the country into regions, have amateur dancers from all the regions take part in heats off the screen, the best dancers from each region would then go on to represent their region on a live TV Programme on a Saturday night, each week one region goes out and the winning region will go on to a champion board, this would go on each week until there are only 2 regions left for the final show. Have proper judges that are dancers in their own right not choreographers as we have at present. Divide each show into groups, Modern Ballroom, Old Time, Latin, Off Beat and Formation. Proper judges do the scoring, no public phone-in, and what have we got, YES the original and best ‘Come Dancing’. But of course, the BBC would never consider such a programme, as there would be no money rolling in from the public’s phone calls.

  • Diane Hamilton

    What has happened to Matthew Cutlers wife in this series ???????????????????

  • http://www.strictlycomedancing.tv admin

    Hi Diane, She wasn’t invited back this year! Also, she and Matt divorced in 2003.

  • Mandy Price

    It’s ‘my husband and I’ in that context. The word “myself ” is a reflexive pronoun. If you’re going to put your opinions online, you could at least do it grammatically.

    Her head was bowed and when she raised white timberland boots it to look at me, she could barely smile without pain. Her face was disfigured, and timberland classic boat skin so tight from surgical procedures that smiling or laughing was very difficult for her timberland kids waterproof boots . She had suffered terribly from treatment to remove the growths timberland shoes that had so marred her face. We chatted for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for timberland womens premium boots lunch later that week. As it turned out we went to lunch several timberland boots women times, and she always wore a hat during the meal. I think that treatments of some timberland shoe company sort had caused a lot of her hair to fall out. We shared things about our lives. I told her about my women timberland shoes schooling and growing up. She told me that she had worked for timberland 6 inch years for an insurance company. She never mentioned family, and I did not ask. I have thought about her timberland mens custom often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life. She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive. I know that her condition black timberland boots hurt her deeply. One Sunday womens timberland boots morning, I was told that someone was waiting for me in timberland 6 boots office. The young person who answered the rectory timberland boots door said that it was “the woman who said she left all the notes.” When I saw her mens timberland boots I was shocked, since I immediately recognized her from church but had no timberland boots outlet idea that it was she who wrote the notes. She was sitting in a chair in timberland roll top boots office with her hands folded in her lap. LIJ

    Later I knew that after went to Hong Kong, gucci sunglasses the fact is that Hong Kong people really love the gucci hats, a Hong Kong friend told me that as long as the end of the year when the Gucci Apparelin discounting, any gucci shoes for men store will be lining up the street from the gucci belts store.

  • Not Required

    Shocking Shocking Shocking!!!! It is quite clear to see Alisha has no clue….Matt deserved much higher scores than Scott, he looked like he was in a trance yet no comments were made about his expression less face, yet Matt gets slated for making the effort!!!!! Totally unfair…the programme is becoming like X factor the people who deserve the scores don’t get them!!! Comeon judges stop looking at who you fancy and score correctly.

  • tiggyliz

    I agree! Scott forgot most of his dance and yet still gets scored a 9 by Alesha and Bruno. They also consistently overscore Gavin who is awful. Matt who danced really well and remembered his steps got a lower mark than Scott from Alesha. It is really obvious that Alesha and Bruno have their favourites who can do no wrong. It is beginning to spoil the show. Bring back Arlene – as least she knew What she was talking about and marked fairly.

  • Lucy

    Could not agree more, lets get back to marking the dancers on their dancing! Not on who’s your favourite, am really cross tonight. Matt gets my vote because he is a great dancer made no mistakes and is consitantly good. All the judges could go on about was his face! Scott forgot his dance, no contest.

  • Rose Red

    I agree, it is obvious that the judges have their favourites, think Matt and Kara……..whilst both have given stunning performances in previous weeks this week both were rather lacking, unfortunatley.(Not that you would have believed it from the judges ravings!!!!)
    Matt however gave a brilliant performance……what does the boy have to do to get a 10?????????

  • Strictly Stitch

    I hope that the public realises that unlike some of the judges the voting should be based on TONIGHTS dance and not how the couples perfromed last week or the week before. Two 9′s for a dance full of mistakes and only being completed after being dragged on by the neck. I DON’T THINK SO

    Another Title…

    I saw this really great post today….

  • KG

    What can Matt do to please the judges?? The choreography he is doing is far more complex than the others and he is trying so hard (admittedly they all are) but still. The judges have been harsh on him from the beginning. For goodness sake he got worse comments and scores than Gavin and he was much better!! Please tell me its not only me who thinks he is brilliant???

  • Emma

    I totally agree!! What does Matt have to do to get them on side? What gets me is that the judges clearly have their favourites and not sure why they are always so negative about poor Matt. It actually makes me quite cross!!

  • Kathy Allen

    Yes what does Matt have to do. He was great tonight. Previously, the judges (and others) have said he’s not sexy enough – then when he is, they don’t like it. It’s obvious that Alesha doesn’t like him. Get her off the show!!!!!!

  • Lyn Elliott

    Oh No. i have always thought Matt was the best but the judges never gave him the credit he dserves!

  • olive

    I thought the judges had all gone mad where Matt is concerned. Is it Matt, or the choreography they do not like? I was expecting 4 tens for him tonight

  • Liz

    I have to agree with the previous comments. Alesha and Bruno have favored Scott for so long and have been overly critical of Matt. Tonight was awful to watch, Matt is superb, probably only second to Kara, but to see him attacked by the judges in that way was shameful. It’s almost as though the judges are trying to manipluate the outcome as they have lost the control of the dance off. I only hope the public get behind Matt and keep him in, we can all see he is probably the second best dancer in the competition. Alesha is out of her depth, and needs to go.

  • KG

    Well I’m glad its not just me then. Vote for Matt he definitely deserves to be in the final, probably with Kara and Pamela or Scott. Keep going Matt!!

  • JAD

    Broke my heart to see poor Matt’s reaction to the judges.

    Can’t believe they marked him so low, they even said Scott did not perform the dance well and still he got 8′s and 9′s.

    Will be voting for Matt all the way to the final.

    Actually want Scott and Pamela to go now as they are so obviously the judges pets.

    Grrrrr

  • Purple Haze

    I’ve never been compelled to comment on anything so publicly before but I have to say that, after one or two glasses of Shiraz, this Friday night I’ve felt honestly gutted to see Matt’s Face after the judges comments about his perfomance of the Salsa. I have to agree that it wasn’t conventional, and perhaps Aliona will bow to the judges next year and be traditional in her approach – because Matt has been slammed for his absolutely perfect American Smooth and, as far as I could see a different, but altogether fab Salsa!! I am especially disappointed that this year it seems the judges are more pre-occupied with the contestants profile or body than their actual abilty. I will vote twice for Matt tomorrow but once for Kara because, as the song suggests, “If there’s any justice in the world” that is who belongs and deserves to be there! I love the show but please urge the judges to comment on the celebrities ability rather than whether they liked the choreography!! xxxxx

  • jumpingjuls

    Quite agree with all the above; we think the judges are putting a ‘handicap’ on Matt cos he’s obviously the best able dancer. They didn’t give him one positive comment tonight -
    he deserves better after all he’s put into his dances. Ok, the choreography may be a bit off, but that’s not his fault!

  • chel

    felt physically sick watching the verbal dressing down matt was subjected to tonight no one deserves to be cut down like that & is it just me or does alesha seem to not like matt or have i missed something & the judges now exactly what these guys put into this it has to be that they have it in for him for some reason even the other dancers looked vissably uncomfortable hope people vote for matt to show dissaproval if nothing else him or kara to win

    stomache still turning

    shame shame shame on you judges

    tut tut!

  • katie

    I agree, Matt has been the underdog for the whole series and gives 110% – the judges have never given him the recognition he deserves

  • Squidge

    The judges were vicious in their attack on Matt and unjustly so. There was one part of the choreography which I could see why they didn’t like it and perhaps it was too frantic and over technical but that wasn’t his fault.

    I think he would have won the Dance marathon if he hadn’t had just danced his socks off in his individual dance then had that awful dressing down from the judges which made his face look like a little boy about to cry, and then got told to hurry up and get changed for the marathon. He is a true pro. and came back smiling.

    Next year, if they have the marathon,they should intersperse it with a guest singer or a professional dancers routine, to allow the last celebrity couple time to catch their breath, let alone get change otherwise it is unfair!!!

  • Margaret

    Matt was clearly crushed by the devastating comments from the Judges last night. They should understand that celebrities cannot take responsibility for poor choreography. I hope the public come out in force to vote for Matt. He would be the most deserving winner of Strictly.

  • ct

    I’ve just watchd last night’s Strictly (had to record it as was out!) What’s going on here again. Matt danced really well and certainly deserved the same marks as Scott (if not more). I really feel there some other agenda here . The judges seem to dislike him – no matter how well he dances it’s not good enough for them! I hope he comes back fighting tonight and I will certainly vote for him.

  • Bethany

    I AGREE!

  • Dazzer

    Sorry, but again I can’t see what the judges are seeing!!

    Kara was so obviously the best – should have been straight 10s Pamela again overmarked – there have been many better quicksteps over the years. Good? Very Outstanding? NO

    Can’t see why Len gave Gavin a 9 or how Scott got his points

    I’ll be spending more money than I should to get Matt * Kara into the final – the judges have put Pamela there anyway (not that she isn’t good, I just don’t think she’s THAT good

  • jean

    I agree with you 100% I have been saying from the beginning of the show that Alesha should not be there,she and Bruno are so obvious with their voting. After all the cockups this year, I hope the BBC have listened to the fans and make next year a good year without Alesha and Bruce and only people who want to dance!.

  • Fgjenny

    Craig only gave Harry and 6 but marked others higher that were clearly not as good.

    Is this programme going mad?  Or do the judges have their favourites?

    A bit of fairness please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Bryniolo

    Sunday 6th Oct, just seen the result show, I am convinced that for Nancy to be saved the votes are rigged by the BBC, as Craigs future comments might be good for viewing figures.

  • Liseannbrennan

    Shocking decision, shame on the voting public or voting Rory off in favour of that hag Nancy!

  • OKaysional

    You can’t really judge 11 different styles of dance with the same scale, it’s really unfair an difficult for them

  • Iwill5812

    Why has Alesha Dixon given Harry Judd ten points
    for the last two weeks. when they were only worth
    eight points max,

  • Janet Way

    The judges are clearly marking Jason and Holly down.  They both deserve 10s and they are lucky if they get 9.  How much more perfect can they be.  BBC do something and stop your judges being so judgemental, especially Aleasha Dixon, she obviously feels threatened by girls and if she fancies someone, as she clearly fancies Harry, she will give him a 10.  WAKE UP BBC
