Despite the BBC shamelessly promoting Munchetty on news programmes for many days now, she put on a very poor performance last night.
No other contestant received anything like that level of publicity that the BBC employee Munchetty had heaped upon her prior to the competition commencing.

On the contrary 63ellesbells, just my opinion based on the fact that the majority of dancers are very good and the worst will not be eliminated for a week or two yet, its not rocket science
As for using spoilers, never have and never will, I seem to remember you throwing these accusations about during the last series, you seem to be the expert on the spoilers....

the standard is very good this year so it comes down to the general public and their popularity vote to pick two for a dance off then the skill of those two will be decided by the judges, it really is anyones to win at the moment as the public vote on who
they like, what they are wearing, how they come over on the daily programmes/in the press etc etc... fickle lot (I don't vote myself 
)

Could anyone explain, please........does the voting of the expert judges count for anything in who goes into the dance-off?
Is it simply the two dancers who get the fewest public votes, or are the judges' votes factored into it?
If not, what is the point of the judges' scores?

The judges scores sort out the ranking, then they get points for that, ie if there are seven of them, the first place gets 7 pts, 2nd gets 6 etc etc. then the public vote is collated in the same way and added to the judges ranking points. It is all very simple unless there is a tie, basically in that case the couple with the higher public vote get preference.

at the end of the day it is just a popularity contest Ian, as I said before I think he is getting votes not necessarily just for who he is but for the fact that he is an 'ordinary' guy with no previous experience who happens to be doing quite well. However - if he gets in a dance off I think the judges wont save him over the others now, so it is down to the public to keep him there. Personally I don't think he will go much further now (but then I thought the same about Donald Trump !!)

Claudia W showing her legs tonight......and what nice legs!
Ed through again......Ora in the dance off. What a travesty!
Get rid of the public vote......they appear to be clueless.

Well I don't like Ora just can't take to him find him cunning, yes he knows and is a very good dancer but keeps putting that " who me ! am I really that good attitude " and as for the crying don't get me started on that 
would
I like to see him go ? Yes, but I don't let my personal opinion of him distract from the fact that he's a dam good Dancer
