Strictly

I gave up watching after Judge Rinder was put out. However, I didn't think it was fixed!

Nothing is fixed Firecracker and Oré most definitely deserved his votes.

I want Ore or Louise to win. I will vote for one of them based on their final dances. As he has had no previous experience I am biased towards Ore, but will try to be impartial (except I won't be voting for Danny).

It's definitely fixed they made sure Ore was top of the leaderboard which he didn't deserve to be Claudia should have got top marks for her quickstep. Then you couldn't vote, so Ore stayed at the top. FIXED FIXED FIXED not watching anymore.

It was impossible to vote online when the show finished, I waited about ten minutes and then managed it but I put it down to the volume of people trying to vote at once. Presumably it would be the same on the phones?
They would lose revenue if no one could phone, wouldn't they? And they could just ignore the votes then.

Provided the public get their votes through, I think that Danny may well be out.

I thought that Claudia's dance off was the next best thing to perfect and had more intricate steps than Danny's.

I also cannot warm to Louise and would love Ore to win but I have a feeling that may not be possible if the votes are rigged.

I'm beginning to wonder if the result is indeed a fix! The winner has to go on tour and apparently Claudia will not be able to do that (if what I've read is correct) due to gymnastics commitments. Claudia did some amazing dancing with fantastic athletic control yet she only got a 10 when the public began complaining. It keeps being mentioned that Ore has never danced before but neither has Claudia. Both Louise and Danny are, or have been, in showbiz and been to stage school. They are used to having to act for the cameras and Danny truly does. Do you notice that he always talks about himself? Others say "I am so sorry x has been voted out" but Danny will say "I'm glad I got through." He's too smug in my opinion.

I think it is a shame that Claudia didn't make the final. She was as good as (if not better than) Louise. I will vote for Ore to win but if last night is anything to go by despite over 20 attempts we were unable to get through.

Me too kitty and yet she seems like a nice girl. Just a bit prim maybe.
Ore to win

I wonder how many of Claudia's votes were lost last night when the website froze? It took me an hour to get mine in. I almost didn't bother.

It must have made a difference because surely filming the results show won't have been held up while they waited for late votes to come in?

I'd love to see that smug grin wiped off Danny's face when Louise beats him.
Can't see it happening though

It's funny but I can't warm to Louise and I don't know why.

I don't think Danny expected to be in the dance off.

I hope Louise wins she has not played to the camera once and
she is so lovely to watch.

I think a lot hinges on the style of dance they perform as I think the public have a liking for the Latin American over the Foxtrot etc. as they are simply more exciting to watch. IMHO.

Love Ore too, dissapointed for Claudia. I do not dislike Danny and find him confident rather than cocky. I know it is going against the grain but do not really like Louise.

Sad for Claudia.

Being in the dance off bought Danny down a peg or two, eh? I really don't mind if Louise or Ore win - they are both amazing. Mum and Dad Clifton must be so proud of their offspring!!

Yes. Odd voting by the public as well, when I think about it, as Danny seems to have been their favourite so far.

Think Claudia was best in the dance off. Danny looked gobsmacked that he could be in the dance off.

I love Ore! Sad for Claudia!!

Poor Claudia

Wonderful - Ore's through!

On you tube too probably. I have watched some of Judge Rinder's dances on that.
Although they were all very good last night some of the sparkle seems to have gone. Would love Ore or Louise to win. Find Danny a bit too full of himself and I see what Craig meant about Claudia not being engaged with the dance. Nothing to do with me anyway, I think the last person I voted for was Will Young on Pop Idol.

Not that bad. Bruno said some of it reminded him of a jive. Entertaining as always. You can probably find it on i-Player.

Eds last dance: dire and embarrassing just like all the others.

Ore for me too, although they are all brilliant. Missed last 3 shows, but the last 4 were just as predicted before we left.

Would have loved to see Ed's last dance- what was it like ;)?
