Man plods around dance floor off the beat, screws up and drops the pro. Shirley: “Such an improvement, well done - 6!” Woman puts in near-perfect performance. Shirley: “You need to work harder. Wrong feet, bad lines, shoulder too high… 4.”
You could have put. Shirley: you're an attractive man who is awful and has never known or heard of rhythm. 6 Shirley: you're an attractive woman who has heard of what rhythm is 4 And it would still be true.
Shirely gave her highest score to Molly tonight though? I never get the Shirley hates women thing, Her past dancing experience gives her more of an insight into how the female celebs should be dancing etc, so she can speak more on it. Molly and Tyler were the two stand outs tonight, everyone else was mid to meh, suffering from the week two curse I think. Richie's dance was fun but where was the quickstep? It was more of a charleston. How did it get 32? Also,
Spoiler: Dance off results Kaye and Kai, and Matt and Nadiya were in the dance off. The judges saved Matt & Nadiya, Kaye and Kai were eliminated from the competition
Spoiler I’m surprised to see Kaye be eliminated. I thought she would have lasted a couple more weeks. Not surprised to see Matt in the bottom. He gives off this weird hostile energy.
I don't think it's that clear cut that she just doesn't like the female contestants, but she seems always to be a lot kinder to the men - but I know fuck all about dance, so maybe she's just harsher on those she knows are capable of delivering while just trying to be nice to the three-legged swamp donkeys.
The professional routine It’s About Damn Time was styled perfectly. The visuals were absolutely stunning.

Spoiler Well this is a load of shit. I do think Richie was massively overmarked but still wasn’t the worst of the night. Fleur being in the bottom is even more of a joke, I really enjoyed her routine last night.
For the first time ever, I am not clicking that spoiler link! Going to finish work at 11pm and settle down to watch not having a clue who has gone and I'm quite excited about that.
I still have no idea why people who get angry about the judges comments, post things like "Well I must have been watching someone else compared to the judges...." Yes, because the judges are right in front of them, in the same building and know about dancing. You are sitting at home, looking at the dance through a series of camera shots ffs. I blame gogglebox and xfactor for the rise of posts like that, dancing isn't singing etc Edit: Forgot to add, Goss fans on social media are absolutley tapped
This would be true if there were no producers working on the show and the judges scored purely on technical ability…
Being in the bottom two may have been a blessing in disguise for Matt Goss - he always looks like he can't get off set quick enough. Shirley's judging is all over the place - she probably didn't help Richie by over marking him last night whilst giving others more detailed critiques.
I suppose she said that just to soften the blow for him (no one deserves to get eliminated in a onesie) but it did come off... a certain way. Neither of them deserved to be down there, I get that Goss had a rebound and Tony had the "bantz" vote but who's voting for another-of-Amy's-nice-men? (James?) I was hoping he'd be a goner.
Eastenders stars always last a while. The cast is kind of stacked with lots of "filler" people that hopefully Fleur can avoid the dance off for another couple of weeks, I feel like it'll be Kym's turn to be a shock bottom 2 next week.
