As Faye was in steps how come she isn’t getting the same stick as Ashley
Several reasons

  • Faye was in a pop band, where she sung and moved around a bit. Ashley was a professional dancer who sung a bit.
  • Faye isn't American.

They usually have all of the contestants around during the final. I wonder if Seannnn wil turn up?

That was not good from Lauren.
Dis-ASS-ter, darling. Stompy, clompy, fell out of time, got on the wrong foot and then took several quick shuffly steps to try to get back onto the correct foot. On two occasions.
By far the worst dance of the night, most people do better than that in week one...

Personally and would like to see Lauren and Joe in the bottom with Lauren going but I think Joe might be in trouble this week.

Stacey to win it, still love Faye but Stacey is more interesting and has progressed more.

I thought Claire sang and the other 4 stopped around a bit to the dance steps that they gave away with every record.

But I do think that she is in with a chance because she understands humility.

Sadly, Lauren leaving looks like a no-brainer.

Faye's turn to be attacked by the scum at the Mail:

The only dance style tagged on her CV as highly skilled is aerobics. Which is basically what steps routines were.

Everything else dance style wise is just listed because thats what CV's for performers with average skills do.

Lauren was very poor last night compared to the others so I reckon she will be in the Dance Off alongside Ashley who just doesn't seem to gel with the viewing public. I reckon Joe's following on social media will keep him out of the Dance Off but he wasn't that good last night.

Fully expecting Ashley to be in the bottom two due to her lack of viewer votes. Probably between her and Lauren - so the judges will again put Ashley through.
By making her joint top with Faye last night, I think the judges have made it mathematically impossible for her to be in the bottom two.

If Lauren has massive public support, we could have an upset tonight if there is a dance-off between Stacey and Joe.

I’d be surprised if the idiot public manage to keep both Joe and Lauren out of the dance off this week, both were a country mile behind the other three. Assuming it’s Ashley against one of them it’s a no brainier that Ashley will go through, which, to be honest, was obvious from week one that she was a finalist all day long.

Funny how some dances always score higher than others - Charlestons always seem to get high marks which I think helped Stacey to be right up there with Faye and Ashley and despite Ashley’s 40 Faye’s Argentine Tango was the dance of the night for me.

So I think it might be Joe to go this week, can’t really have a finalist who can’t lift and still think Faye to win.

I think I'd like to see Stacey win.

Joe has probably had the best "journey" and has a big Social Media following (although it's debatable how that compares to the unsocial media of the Daily Mail), but I just prefer Stacey.

As to Ashley, I think the public have really turned on her and I think it's highly likely she will be in the dance-off yet again, and yet again the judges will have to vote her through, so whoever she is up against will be out.

Having said that, I have time and again shown I have no idea what I am talking about with regards to Strictly so it will probably be something completely different that actually happens. smile

Ashley's not winning this is she?

Might be the best dancer but the final is a public vote and 3 consecutive times in the dance off speaks volumes doesn't it.

Nope. Although now that I've said that, she probably will. Which means she won't. Or will.

My brain hurts.

The problem with the way the public vote will no doubt go means that if you're the worst dancer you won't be dancing off against the second bottom (thereby giving you a chance to improve enough and stay in) but you'll be against the likes of Ashley and hence you'll be heading straight out.

As an older lady myself, I think Shirley looks stunning "tonight". I love her dress and she has a great figure.

Slightly jealous actually.

This is worrying. Joe safe, Ashley in the dance off. Surely he isn’t going to get enough public support to win it?

Ashley in the dance-off. Not a huge surprise, given how the public seem to have it in for her.

I'm really pleased that Stacey is through.

Edited for autocorrect - I'm using my phone to post
