2, 3, Cha Cha Cha: It's semi-final time! SCD #9

[CaveMum]

New thread

There seems to be a general sense that the judges' marking was very much skewed towards Ore the BBC presenter and away from Claudia.

Darcey has hated Claudia for the entire series.

There is no way I won't be able to reseafch the spoiler tonight!!

(Obviously won't post it here :) )

Claudia is the only dancer not going on the tour i wonder if that influences the judging

Me too - cannot wait until tomorrow. Am too afraid for Danny - love gis dancing so much but feel everyone will be too swayed by the lack of a journey to vote for him...

his, obviously. May have had a tiny bit of wine...

Urgh ore soo over marked he just stomped about his AT and flung jo about im pissed off

Thing is though you have to think tactically about who the judges will pick if they end up in the dance off. If Danny is in the dance off then they will save him any day of the week. So he's safe.
If Ore is in the dance off then I think he's safe against Claudia but the judges may back Louise.
If Claudia is in the dance off I fear she will go.
So in terms of tactical voting it's about whether you back Claudia and then whether you prefer Ore or Louise.

Strange marking and judging tonight.

Darcey kept going on about Claudia having no connection with AJ. This is rather odd when Louise and KFG just gurn and dance at each other, yet are said to have great chemistry.

I'm a fan of Ore, but that AT was really lacking for me. Joanne let him down with her choreography, which is a shame as she has created some lovely routines.

Spoiler is up on DS.

So it is

No spoilers on this thread though please!

Sigh.

I've decided they should do two series per year. I can't believe it's nearly finished already. Goes too fast.

Not sure whether I'll watch the Christmas special. Don't really care for any of the couples.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I'm SURE Dannie almost dropped Oatie during their first dance.?!?!?!

It wasn't mentioned by the judges (unless I missed that).

Also.......Cloudier and AJ do have chemistry! Loved it when Cloudier said, after Darcey's unfair comments, "I never took my eyes off AJ's"
Go Cloud Go!!!

Yes, with Kellie Bright last year. Before that he had a perfect record!

Thanks Kitty

judges are shocking. clearly in favour of Clifton final.

caught up on digital spy (not spilling the beans) but won't bother anymore.

I weote a post earlier about Louise and Claudia's relative 'connection' and 'characterisation', but must have neglected to post. But I agree with Curbside; Louise varies from amiling-with-teeth-together to smiling-with-teeth-apart, whatever dance she's doing. Can't see how that constitutes either of the qualities the judges seem to be demanding from Claudia.
I find her lumpy and awkward-looking - stiff back, expressionless shoulders, she sometimes lurches from one step to the next. The judges are making fools of themselves with their gushing comments and ridiculous marks.

Right well the reactions from some of you are rather alluding to the result. I'd rather nobody said anything if they've found out. It's really unfair on those of us who don't even want a sniff of a clue.

Totally agree with you Walrus

I look at the spoiler but make sure never to mention a word of my reaction or a hint to the outcome, it's quite unfair to allude to anything on here.

Agreed, Walrus.

I agree. Some people (not me as it happens) have better memories than others. If I've been vocal in my love for Judge Rinder and say "Spoiler's out " then a fair number of people will be spoilt.

I think "Spoiler's out" is fair game because apart from anything else it saves traffic on the DS site. If you don't have the willpower to resist a vague reference to the existence of a spoiler then that's your lookout.

But once it's out then the people who know need to be absolutely squeaky clean about what they say, especially if you've said that you know.

I love the spoiler personally so I tend not to post anything between now and Sunday night, because it's too tricky to work out what's safe.

I really liked Ore's AT. This year hasn't been all that good for ATs and his at least had a bit of drama and tension to it. I agree that it was very clever choreography though, so that it was still a good dance even though he basically stood still for most of it while Jo twirled around him.

I was a Daisy fan from the start, and I'm really sad she didn't make it this far, but I think I will back Danny to win. Mostly because I adore Oti's dancing.

Can someone tell me what Darcy has against claudia. Felt so sorry for her tonight after first dance.

I wonder if it's something to do with her being a gymnast. When Darcy was on ITT she was talking about how she trained to be a gymnast and it was her dream, but she grew too tall so went into ballet instead.
