Totally agree with John & Freddie. It’s true that Len Goodman gives great marks when dance is OK and bad marks for great dances. I do believe they have their favourites – I mean Lisa Snowdon is not bad, but she is nowhere near Tom and Austin and don’t think she poses a threat to them by any means. Yes Christine had to go, but Rachel should never have been in the bottom 2. Lisa needs to go next, especially with that ridiculous cheesy grin of hers.

Where is the Tax man. I agree with some remarks from Freddie & John. I find the show sickly & unsuitable for children who may think that ballroom teachers teach the
grotesque body movements. Because there was a time limit between taking professional qualifications, in Theory & Dance ability it took more than one, two & more yrs. to acquire Fellowship degrees; as I did Modern & Latin; now Mr. Len Goodman is above the rest he should remember that!!! is he teaching SBD in America ? Arlene need voice training and put the other two juges in Dusty Bin. Another gripe , why are the contestants taken to others for other dance style instructions or to have ballet lessons !!! When FREE STYLE Disco became stage oriented I told my pupils, ballroom dancing will be on the stage or in a big boxing ring ! bring back Veriety. Please leave our profession alone, it’s the BD teachers ability to raise & improve talent,if there. I don’t like the flashes of dancers when a VIP! is singing. A Tip for Tom…in ballroom, shoulders down,chin is too high, lift arms from elbow before taking hold.
Who is Brendan’s fiance… He is my favourite, I lovs ya.
Congratulations X

I totally agree that these results are now being manipulated. I predicted before the show that the judges would over mark Lisa to try and get here in a postion where the public couldn’t hurt her – she has definitely taken over as their ‘protected’ one since Cherie was ousted. Sure enough they did that in spades, and whilst Lisa was not bad in her waltz, she was nowhere near as good in her repetative and boring Cha Cha.

It was Christines time to go, and I think that she would admit that, but Lisa realy has to be next, as she is really not popular and nowhere near as good as the rest.

I am now convinced that Strictly Come Dancing is a fix. As a semi-professional dancer, I have never seen a Paso Doble danced so well, as Austin and Erin tonight. Before it went to the judges, I anticipated a full score of 10’s all round. I have said all along in this series, put in dancers as judges and get rid of choreographers, tonight I wonder if it was right. I can, under no circumstances, this week agree with Len Goodman, the score of 10, should only be given if the dance footwork is perfect, I have seen Len give a score of 10 to less perfect footwork over the past few weeks, but, tonight I have to disagree with him totally. If the judges are getting paid upwards of £40,000 for the series, I would like to put my name forward as a judge for SCD 2009. I can produce all of my certificates if required. I have never been so disgusted by Len’s scoring as I am tonight, Austin and Erin deserved full marks all round for that Paso Doble, footwork and dance style was perfect.
