Strictly 2016

I thought Claudia was undermarked?

I thought so but then I also thought Ore was overmarked. I dont like it when the judges say nothing but positives and then give a 9, if they think she made mistakes they should tell her, otherwise how can she improve?

She may not have made any technical mistakes. She is slowly learning to act the character she plays in each dance and when she occupies that character the tens will come.

Well done to the last 4

Louise is still my favourite

 

[biggs682]

good bye Claudia

 

[NorthernDave]

Just watching it now, slightly time shifted due to being late in. Got to say that the judges are puzzling me with the comments and subsequent scores (again).

 

[summerdays]

good bye Claudia

I've voted for her...

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Louise was a bit flat. Claudia will go home tho. Ore could just edge it in the final.

And we did but not sure if that will be enough

Ore's Argentinian tango was very basic and safe none of the fancy foot and legwork

Yes her dance was , we will have to see

I agree the Ore didn't have much flash but what content he had to execute in the dance had us on the edge of our sofa at Chez Grumpy. Their timing was impeccable. I think Joanne Clifton is a wonderful choreographer and a very understated dancer.

 

[LarryDuff]

Ore mainly stood there and Joanne did all the dancing. I was very underwhelmed. Claudia undermarked again.
They however will get the finalists that they want, Louise, Ore and Danny.

 

[perplexed]

On general overall performance, last three should be Danny (for the win), Louise and Claudia.

Ain't gonna be though, with another week of bizzare marking. I love Louise, but she made mistakes in both dances - ye ended up with the same mark as Claudia with no mistakes, and Claudia's routines were more interesting. Ore over-marked again.

Claudia to probably go tonight which ain't fair, but there yer go...

 

[biggs682]

Just realised going to miss tonights show as i have a frame to collect

 

[NorthernDave]

I'm sensing a lot of affection on here for Claudia, but I'll be controversial and say that I don't think she is that good.
Craig commented on it last night and I've seen it several times, but her routines never seem to really flow - it's a series of steps / moves with a very short, barely imperceptible pause between and I think she's been covering it with it due to her ability to throw in a spectacular few moves due to her gymnastics background. but hey, that's just my opinion!

If there is any justice, Danny and Oti should waltz away with the Glitterball, but I've got a sneaky feeling they might get pipped at the post by a plucky battler, much like fellow Hollyoaks-er Ricky Whittle did a few years ago.

 

[summerdays]

I think the judges are right that she doesn't have that emotional connection with the music but she does seem to be able to do the more complicated steps than the others. For that reason I would like to see her in the final though I would agree she isn't the best overall. (Well that and the Bristol connection).

Having had Tango and Argentinian Tango lessons I'd love to be able to stand there like Ore did...
