****SCD 2019 WEEK 7 LIVE IR THREAD****

struggled all week again

you could tell he was the pro there.....miles difference between them

she's not that good

All criticism is very constructive, could they put her bottom 2

her pv looks like being tested

Creating a LB buffer zone for Mike ?

Can I be the 1st to **** Saffrons father

CRAIG / DARCEY / SHIRLEY / BRUNO

Karim & Amy (1) QS - 9 10 10 10 = 39

Michelle & Giovanni (2) Paso - 8 9 9 8 = 34
Kelvin & Oti (4) VW - 8 9 8 9 = 34

Saffron & AJ (5) Salsa - 6 7 7 7 = 27

Posh Emma & Aljaz (3) Samba - 5 7 7 7 = 26

Alex is chuffed

We're probably all Saffron and Emma W for elimination this week.

Nice VT for Alex again, think Neils injury is a boost to her personally.

EEE too

she's crap in hold

She's proper luverly

I feel Emma B will be fine this week, even had a bit on OR. Won't be funny if Mike is sh1t though

Thought she was very stepford at first but she is gaining confidence.

Craig agrees with me

I thinks so too Cider - Big early prices value though

Mike pimp

I hate these Northern monkeys

Terrific VT

banned

Chris's dad is Jot

Mike the show closer? interesting the ordering of the leaderboard 3rd bottom would see him safe. On the PV he can pass Emma but  would need to beat saffy by 2 which he may struggle to do.

Pretty unlikely to save Emma W over Saffron in a dance off, this whole week looked like it was Emma W's turn to be an expendable, we'll see.

EEE May be below Mike on LB

Great effort

pmsl excellent

Would be much better without that lard arse

NE vote huge!

Chris has been a great signing for the show, has brought the fun to the show.

He’s been brilliant

The puzzle is how they manufacture both Mike and Chris to Blackpool, assuming that's desired. Chris look s safe enough on the pv anyway.

rather dull

Gave it their all

crosshairs on

Thought that was half decent, think she struggle to show emotion.

Not sure Anton is that popular with the judges

This is all about giving Mike a buffer

all at sixes and sevens

Emma W bottom scorer bets in tatters cue everyone else is on

Tough scores, will be a pv tester obviously

I was on

Excellent

great

Awful

a lot of mistakes, not on the script

Mistakes can be corrected

Likely scores will not be changed I suspect

Backed Emma B ir, hopefully that will be enough for Mike

Mike v Posh Em

Thanks for the scores Fig

Posh v Saffron

Saff V posho

Cheers fig

Cheers Can anyone work out what 8/1 ew TS pays on Visage?

You do it ya lazy melt

Not without knowing the stake

I let Hills do it

I'll

If you had 10 ew it’s settled as £6.66 @ 8/5

It's just 2/3 of the place part.

cheers

And the terms

So normal payout * .67

fifth the odds top 3 tim

2 Emma’s B2, Emma and anton out. Like I said in the general chat.

Posh Emma v Saffron for me, unless theres a hidden vlogger vote.

She has 2M subscribers, think she’ll have enough support to get through a few more weeks

Emma W vs Saffron for me but a chance of Mike vs Emma W. Thanks for scoring fig.

You'd think they are confident of getting Emma B out of the dance off, Lib. Though 6/1 for a runner adrift at the bottom is generous, one senses the brutal scoring and comments will be enough to agitate a vote.

I can’t see a way it isn’t 2 Emma’s B2 personally. Don’t think there’s anything to massively inspire people to vote for either. Saffron has a fan base which I think will see her safe. Emma W for me is bottom of public vote, Emma B will need to be mid table to overcome being bottom of judges scores, can’t see it.

It's possible to escape with 6 points, so third from bottom in the pv. I'd have Emma W bottom and Saffron 2nd bottom so 4 pv points would do it. Though 6/7-1 is a bet.

Perhaps I give too much weight to Saffron’s subscriber base. Thought she was dreadful tonight though (normally do tbh) think she’s been overmarked all series. 2 horse race Kelvin and Karim for me. Kelvin the best dancer by far but Karim holds his own. 50/50 who does the better dances in the final imo.

Most of them won't be watching scd, eligible to vote, or if they are, arsed to vote.

I agree and at later stages I think the vote will fall through. But for now I think she has enough of a base to get through

Emma W against Mike, Emma gone

Mike needed the generous scoring then

DS seething Not sure why. Posh Emma has been lucky to get this far

It's a bit odd to so blatantly continue to contrive to save the worst dancer. Understandable if they are a popular duffer, but he's clearly not getting any votes either. Suits the gamblers but this is detrimental to the health of the show. Presumably they will need to let him go next week.

Not sure many outside of DS will care that Posh Emma went. Dev going way before his time much more damaging. And a contrived 'shock' elimination I suspect

Not just that they saved Mike over Emma but the obvious fixed scoring for Mike after the routine was riddled with mistakes, since he was already saved in the previous two dance offs it looks like favouritism for a BBC middle aged white man (which it is). I don't even see a production argument for keeping him when Chris is much more popular duffer and can dance a bit. As I always say, we just bet on the events and can't influence them, I expected Emma W to be gone this week but with Mike at least doing a passable Charleston.

The scores were rather odd given the mistakes and the comments. Unless they planned 9's and 10's if he hadn't made mistakes :D
However I agree if the fixing and favouritism becomes too obvious, then the show could go the same way as the XF ratings wise.
Saving Jedward over Lucie Jones was when even the most gullible viewers realised it wasn't a genuine singing contest and that they were being taken for a ride by Cowell

They overscored Mike, and after giving him all the production help he could muster he still ended up in the dance off. Once their manipulation doesn't produce the pv result they want I feel like the producers would be better off accepting they are flogging a dead horse. Though it would have been a rather expensive outcome for me personally (which I feel they did in the first elimination).

40/1 on posh absolutely robbed by the GBP.

Some ridiculous marking.  I'd love to ask say Shirley how can she score Emma B a 5 yet give that Mike nonsense an 8?  Even if you gave them 5 each it would be a bit better but 5 then 8 for Mike it's a joke.

Also Chris with his 'Street' dance was utter cr@p.  All bets aside that was surely worth a 5 or 6 at the very most yet he gets 9's?  So that was on a par with the great dances we've seen over the years that are genuinly very good and worth 9's ............ and Chris was as good as that was he?  Look at Karim last night he was just fabulous yet Mike's score is almost as good as his?

Like I said I'd love to ask them to explain it but of course we never can.

Oh well Posh Emma out, all the good dancers (plus Chris and Mike) still in it so full steam ahead.

Look at Karim last night he was just fabulous yet Mike's score is almost as good as his?

Sorry meant to say Chris' score was almost as good as Karim's.  They were 'Streets' apart with one a dance he could repeat in the final .............. and Chris' nonsense that with 30 minutes training we could all be as good as.  Ridiculous.

Charleston and the commercial dance are free passes to the next round. Always overmarked, doesn’t matter how well you do it you’re getting minimum a 7 particularly for the comedy acts. Mike and Chris dance off imminent I think though.

Yes I hope so those in the B2 would suit me though obviously not over worried as surely they can't win it.

No I'm more concerned about Alex and Michelle who I'm large Red on yet once again last night both nicely through and looking good.

Concerned of London!

I’m also very red on Alex and Michelle but not concerned, can’t see either winning. Karim or Kelvin all the way for me

Yes gun at my head it looks a two horse race but still concerned that they're both going along very well.  I'm hoping Saffron could be in Final too as she's onside whereas just not convinced by Emma at all.

Fingers crossed.

Cheers FLL and Frogg - don't think I am missing anymore

never a truer word Tobes - Karim performs first and then gets Pick 1 in the clauditorium for the rest of the night, especially apparent during Will's piece
