Too simple Mr M.

I like to get annoyed, sets me up for Sunday, when I can moan at the results!!

:-D :-D :-D :-D

If you record it then watch it a bit later you can cut that out :-)

I wish they would cut out all the baloney that goes on before the contestants dance, and all the palarvar when they go up to get their marks.

All those chants of Kiss, Kiss, Kiss on Saturday was plainly just embarrassing.

Just show me the dancing, and the marking.

Getting grumpy now!!

:-D :-D :-D

I thought Oti was going to pop right out of the top of her dress at the beginning of the intro dance in the results show! :-0 I loved her dress (and legs!) and I love the way she and Katya are so full of life and enthusiasm.

It was clear that Susan should go but Alexandra did look shocked to be in the dance off. It must be really hard for it to not knock your confidence when you know that trying your best may not be enough if enough of the public don't vote for you.

Craig was right about Gemma's hands and I was surprised no-one had told her in the week's training. I think she and Mollie are the least safe now.

Is it just me who thinks that Craig is going overboard with his nit-picking every week.

I think Debbie said she had pulled a muscle in her back a couple of weeks ago, and with the constant training she had not had the time to let it heal. It must be really painful. I hope she continues, it gives hope for the rest of us!

:-) <3

It is going to get harder now. Debbi is also getting tired, she said she was really feeling her age this week, I think she will struggle to keep up now but how well she has done to get this far (I don't like to sound agist as I think she is a marvel) at her age. I hope she doesn't push herself too hard now.

Well the result of the dance off was a no brainer for the Judges just as it was last week with Debbie & Jonnie :-0

It also showed that the dancers can't become complacent....say it was Debbie & Alexandra in the dance off ....now that would give the Judges a dilemma :-0

Well that was a fair dance-off wasn't it? Even Susan said it herself, but it had to happen, she was lovely, enjoying herself, but her dancing was not up to the standard of the others.

Alexandra looked gobsmacked this week. I think they are so used to getting lovely comments, that when they are in the dance-off it dents their pride.

It is getting down to the nitty-gritty now. I am not sure that Mollie or Gemma will last much longer, the competition is too tight to call.

Musicals next week, so should be good.

Jeanette still shoving herself up the front.

Hasn't Oti got a cracking pair of pins? She can give Beyoncé a run for her money.

L Belle, I agree with your choices and your choice for the dance off. susan should definitely go this week. But will 'her' public keep her in?

This week my top three, in no particular order ;-), were

Debbie's Argentine Tango... After last week she certainly pulled out all the stops :-D I love this dance anyway but she certainly had the WOW factor :-D

Davood's Waltz....He certainly looked the part and showed great elegance which the male celebs often find quite difficult to show :-D

Joe's Quick Step ... what precision and energy :-D

So that leaves Alexandra, Mollie, Gemma & Susan :-0

Alexandra's Rumba....Hmmmm showed she is vunerable afterall. I personally don't care for the Rumba and there didn't seem to be much flow. She didn't look so smug after the Judges remarks this week :-0

Mollie's Quick Step....I think she is improving. The second week in a row where she has got encouragement from all the Judges. She still has a lot to do to catch my top three but is moving in the right direction :-D

Gemma's Dance......Such a pity she couldn't maintain the standard of last week :-(. I don't think the choreography helped...I couldn't make out whether it was the choreography or whether a lot of the moves were too floppy for the dance; I think it was the later and she just wasn't executing them very well :-0

Susan's Dance....I think the Judges were definitely trying to direct the public this week :-0. Yes, it was entertaining but, as the Judges said, lacked the technical elements :-(

So for me it has to be Gemma & Susan in the dance off, with Susan to go :-(

Gemma really stepped up her game last week. She was magnificent! Have to confess that she surprised me big time. But I am so pleased to be wrong. Keep it up Gemma, believe in yourself.

Was pleased for Susan, but think that her time has come. She is obviously delighted to have got so far
After getting it so wrong last week, I am hesitant to offer any further opinions for tonights show. I am looking forward to being dazzled.

last week I watched it with my 12 year old grandson. It was the first time he has watched it this season. He correctly forecast (within one opoint) what each couple would score straight after they finished dancing. (Excepr for the first couple, when he didn't offer an opinion at all). He isn't a dancer, so I don't know why he was so accurate.

The Paso thingy should be interesting. All the couples have already dancer it, so no one should be disadvantaged.

The couple with the lowest score are Mollie and A. J. with 22 points in week 8.
The couple with the highest score are Alexandra & Gorka with 36 points in week 2


But of course tonight is another night.

Debbie doing the Argentine Tango tonight. Looks fab in rehearsals.

Sadly Susan to go tonight I feel, unless someone messes up!

Anyone who is a better dancer than she!

;-)

Debbie did look a bit shocked didn't she, but it wasn't her finest dance and she was in a tricky position on the leader board. I would have been embarrassed to stay in in preference to Debbie had I been Susan!! But then it isn't a usual dance competition when marks are judged by ability on the one hand but are also affected by public whim and who is liked the most on the other. Jonnie was an absolute gent though and showed he appreciated not being treated as disabled. He did try to stick his bum under more in the dance off too. :-)

I think Susan will be in the dance off next week.......but who with??

I thought Jonnie was a good loser. He really did seem grateful to have been judged as an equal. He did really well to get to Blackpool. Debbi did look shocked to be in the dance off. Did Joe actually drop his professional partner at the end or was it planned?

I was surprised that Debbie was named as one of those in the dance off and I think so were all the other dancers especially Susan.

I thought Debbie in the dance off looked a bit unsteady on her feet....perhaps it was the sprung floor :-0

The result was right though, although I did feel sorry for Jonnie.....the look on his face was as if to say, is it really worth me dancing in the dance off :-(

It's getting serious now :-D :-D

Very strange voting again this week.

Should have been Mollie and Jonnie really or Susan

Didn't like the dance Mollie did if it was suppose to be a Charleston it was one of the most weird ones i have ever seen.

Loved Gemma's and Alexandra's (dont know why but I really dont warm to her at all)

Didn't like Joes dance - but he did the lifts well - and thought the chap from Eastenders did well too. Didn't like Debbies dance either but then i dont like Samba & Salsa type dances either. I think Susan was ok but just walked it really.

Be interesting to see what happens this week.

Crikey! Debbie looked absolutely shocked to be in the dance-off. I was surprised, but she looked crest-fallen. I thought we were to have a shock exit again.

Yes, Susan has a lot of fans, but I don't think she will last much longer.

I cant warm much to Mollie either, I don't know why.

Back to Elstree next week, so back to normal.

Right decision in the end but I didn’t think Debbi should be in the dance off. Susan’s public are obviously going to keep her in.
