Mollie’s routine was so boring

Yes but it was still better than Simon's lumbering.

I had a feeling that Simon was gone as I saw on Twitter earlier he seemed on Sunday brunch as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders

There was something very uncomfortable about Mollie's performance last night. I know she had to rehearse with another professional but it was awkward. Can see why the public didn't vote for her.

I think Mollie's costume was part of the problem. The ChaChaCha is about straight legs and leg placement and it was difficult to see that with the Jumpsuit.

That was a particularly forgettable week.
The pro dance tonight ... what the actual hell was that all about?

There's definitely something 'off' this year compared to last. There's only a couple of weaker dancers left now, Susan and Ruth. All the rest are capable of good scores. I did like Shirley initially as she is clearly super knowledgeable but her carry on on ITT was deplorable. If it was a man who did that!!! She also has serious pets.

I only watched the main show this evening, and had a big long post written but it's disappeared into the ether:mad: (possibly no harm!)

But at the end of it was a question - what on earth did Shirley do/say on ITT that has ye all up in arms?? I have to say I think she's great - although I can see the points that some on here have made about her. I think she's more balanced and fair than Len (and I never thought I'd say that!).

I did think she was a bit mean to poor Claudia this evening (I'm a big fan of Claudia's though, so maybe I'm a bit biased!)

Sorry to be linking to the Daily Mail but this is what happened..

Bit of a cougar is Shirley. Do you not think she has shows clear favouritism??

I liked Shirley and stood up for her but I thought she was smart aleky to Claudia and actually quite hurtful . I love Claudia and felt Shirley was catty and not funny

That wasn’t the behavior of a “cougar “. She should be done for sexual assault. Totally wrong.

And she was beyond nasty to Claudia tonight.

I sincerely hope that her days are numbered.

I agree if that was a male doing what Shirley did there would be uproar wouldn't be he's a whatever the male version of cougar is.

I missed tonight's show what did she do to Claudia ?

MilesMorales1

She needs to go, that was uncalled for with Claudia tonight.

She said she has crap posture

Postgrad10

She belittled her posture live on TV. Claudia is a presenter not a dancer. Claudia being the professional she tried to turn it in to a joke and made her posture even worse.

Big Bag of Chips

I don't think it was that bad, she was demonstrating how if your core isn't firm that it throws everything off. She said to Claudia that she slouches. Which Claudia said almost in unison with her. She then demonstrated on Claudia how to tighten the core, and in turn bring everything else into line.

I thought she was a bit harsh to some of the dancers on Saturday night, but I didn't see much wrong with what she said tonight.

Postgrad10

Claudia has been on twitter to tell fans that it was all a laugh and she's friends with Shirley. Ever the professional Claud but it wasn't funny.

Shirley came across as a bully. Her behavior on ITT was disgraceful. Would such behavior be acceptable on the competition floor? Or indeed in any workplace?

Postgrad10

She comes across as thinking very highly of herself. I thought the handing of the Latin crown to Debbie for her charlston was just plain stupid. Let's remind the nation I'm the queen of Latin again charlston isn't Latin is it ?

Aisling(",)

I respect Shirley's opinion but I agree that the comments to Claud were out of place.

Glad to see Simon go.Seems a nice man but I think his downfall was being partnered with Karen. She's more occupied with getting herself across.she's totally obnoxious.

I felt bad for Davood he's gotten a fair bit of choreography criticism and it has nothing to do with him!

Oti is my favourite pro so hope to see her and Johnny stay in for the long haul

Postgrad10

Johnny is a good dancer. I hope people continue to vote for him. He is quite reserved compared to the other "celebrities".

Can somebody remind me of the voting? Do they film the eliminations on Saturday night after the main show, but only show it on the Sunday?

But voting is still counted on Sundays?

(it was the difference in the theatrical make up from the pros doing their progroup dance to the dance off waiting that made me think of the actual timing of filming)

Voting is only open for a couple of hours (or less) on Saturday I think.

The pro dance is done earlier in the Saturday, then the live show, then voting opens for a couple of hours, then elimination filmed. It's all done on the Saturday. It must be such a long day for them!

Voting is closed at 9:30 pm on a Saturday night . The eliminations are filmed right after the main show on Saturday and shown on Sunday
A spoiler showing who was voted off is online by 22:45 Saturday night

He was really overmarked this week though. The comments were terrible and the marks were quite kind.

He also admitted himself on ITT that he messed up half the dance and got it wrong

Postgrad10

Well he is a good dancer , I wasn't basing my opinion on Saturday night. Even my friend pointed out to me how exhausted Jonny looked. He seems a genuinely nice person, hope that he gets the votes he deserves.

Are some of you joking or are you just thick? The Shirley Claudia thing was tongue and cheek

I would have agreed with you if it wasn't for her copping a feel of Giovannis butt on ITT. She comes across as a bully.
