No way someone with pink curtains could pull off that shirt

Should beat 18 you'd have thought

That looked a bit rude

She so would

Lol, Bears.

She licked him

not sure about the licking part

Bottom two for Caroline tonight. Good effort though.

Yuk, I missed the licking.

She needn’t lick his arm for me.

People taking odds on, brave

Maybe not bottom two then.

Yes, the licking was gross. Even though I didn’t see it.

thanks fig for scoring tonite

lol sorry army. My maths not great

I'd have Ranvir topping pv

Hurry back Squares, he's too slow

I had him in the right position

My votes are in.

Thanks for scoring, Leaves

You’ve been great company as always, guys

I’m over to the IAC thread now, if we have one

I've changed my mind to Hrvy and Clara

Clara doing well on tellystats and Entertainmentodds. Could escape

pmsl

she's bottom by a distance

certainly an unusual market again

I would have had Clara trading like Max last week, and Max trading like Clara this week lol.

I have Clara, JJ and Caroline level now

The dance didn't work, I'll be surprised if Clara escapes. The ties give her some sort of shot I guess, and it wasn't very subtle. But to me it didn't seem especially unfair.

Caroline went  V maisie

Looking like Caroline v Maisie in DO according to spoiler if it's correct.  Caroline obviously out. 

So ridiculous that the best dancer in it keeps being B2 as the public just won't vote for her.  She'll make the Final though as whoever she dances off against she'll almost certainly get the vote as the better dancer.

Not really ridiculous. It's a popularity contest. In year with a lot of very likeable celebs, it's no surprise that Maisie is struggling. I don't find her unlikeable. I just find others more likeable. As do the voters it seems

Pleased Clara managed to escape. Poor this week but has been undermarked for some reason, other than last week

Figgy

They are actually DANCING though (the clues in the title of the show) so as we've said before there's no point anyone going on there who's deemed to have some sort of background as they just don't get voted.  I'd love to see her just dropping out saying "Ok you don't want to vote for me even though surely you'd agree I'm one of the best if not thee best dancer in it so I'll do what you want and drop out"

Obviously that would never happen but I'd love someone to do it.

Agree about Clara though pleased she's through, she's been one of the best and in with a shout.

The clue is in the title Lou. It's Strictly Come Dancing. Not Come Dancing. The judges give their marks. I'd agree often rather bizarre ones. Jamie best of the night Then the public vote for their favourites. Unfortunately for Maisie she's not many voters favourite. I feel a little sorry for the girl. However that's the way the show works.
It's not as if those with previous dance experience have never won. Alesha , Tom Chambers and Caroline Flack come to mind

Not convinced Maisie makes the final either. I think all of those left, bar maybe Jamie (though not if you believe the judges) could beat her in a DO

Max was very close to beating her last week

Ranvir appears to be the female with production privilege atm. The AT was very much style over substance, the actual dancing wasn't great imv. However as evidenced by Clara's treatment, production favour can flip for no apparent reason.

Ranvir's always been overpriced, she has a huge audience with the voters, GMB. and, she can dance pretty good too.

Figgy

Fair enough I appreciate your view but you know my feelings about this I just don't see the point of dancing at all if people just vote who they 'like'.  I'll never understand that but hey ho.

Still think Maisie beats just about all of them in a DO as long as she's got a decent dance to do.  For me she's the best of them all so I think she'll make the final but almost certainly won't be winning.

Utterly ridiculous Maisie being B2 again.  Complete mismatch in the dance off.

It means the best dancer has to finish Top of the Leaderboard every week just to make the final and even then the public don't vote for her so she can't win.  Just not right sorry.

As I said earlier if I were her I'd drop out like Seargent did but for the exact opposite reason "You don't like me for some reason even though I'm clearly the best dancer so I'll do as you wish and go"  Ooh I'd love that.

Just such a shame IMO though I appreciate for some reason most of you won't agree.  Oh well.

I don’t know why Maisie isn’t getting the publics support. I would have thought being in Eastenders would give her a big fanbase. There must be more younger viewers watching this year and she’s a great dancer, It’s a shame.

Diva

It seems to be "Oh she was good when she started, she's young, good looking, decent figure so no chance am I voting for her"

What is she supposed to do then deliberately not dance so well, pretend she's a 5/10 dancer when really she's about an 8/10?

It's a dancing competition ffs, they're all doing their best.

We see it time and time again and time and time again I'll say, I wish it were down to the judges to choose the best dancer not the public voting because "Oh he's trying his best bless him" or "I really loved his Nan in the VT they showed" or "Aah I know she can't really dance but she seems so lovely".  What a load of nonsense.

No posts from last nights result show! On the subject of Maisie, I think she will have a fair amount of sympathy after last night and is likely to get the famous double bounce.

Maybe/possibly/probably, but who`s backing her for the win? NFC!`

Agree about that tim. She must surely have been bottom in the vote. Probably for the 2nd week. There are just too many far more likeable runners this year

Yes looking like she'll be B2 every week as clearly she's bottom of the vote.  She was joint second of 8 'Runners and Riders' this week so surely safe but still ended up B2!

Looks like she can be discounted from the Winners Enclosure.

We knew that before the dancing started tbf.

great thread, great scoring - many thanks to FLL

Thanks squares
