Jack White & Natalie Lowe - Paso Doble - "The Plaza of Execution" by James Horner
Ross - 7
MM - 7
Danny - 6
Myk - 8
Making a total of 28/40
Comment: MM : This dance so suited you Jack, you made a striking matador I must say. The cape work was a little limp but you showcased yourself and Natalie well and it was a good job.
We've seen all of tonight's performances, so let's have a look at the overall leaderboard......
Now the rules for week 1 are that the highest-scoring couple for each mentor is automatically safe and through to week 2, and the lowest-scoring is automatically in the public vote and potentially faces elimination. The couples in 2nd and 3rd place are at the mercy of their mentors, with them alone choosing who to save, and who to put in the public vote.
So with that in mind, here is the revised leaderboard, with only those up for the public vote:
1. Barry & Iveta - 28
2. Faith & Brendan - 27
=3. Chuck & Karen, Joan & Vincent, Bruce & Katya - 25
6. Charlie & Aliona - 24
7. Halle & Aljaz - 23
8. David & Camilla - 21
VOTING IS NOW OPEN. ANYONE CAN VOTE
{And yes, judges and mentors can vote}
To vote, simply rank the 8 couples above in order of preference - giving 8 points to your favourite, all the way down to 1 point for your least favourite.
All votes must be PMed to me by 7pm tomorrow evening
Best of luck everyone, as it will be the end of the road for 2 unlucky couples - the couple with the fewest overall points (after combining the leaderboard with the public voting) will be automatically eliminated, whilst the top 5 couples will be safe. The remaining 2 couples then have to face the judges in the first dance-off of the series, before 1 of them will also leave the competition.
Myk, I am so sorry, but you have lost your first couple. If it is any consolation, they would have had to be around 3rd or higher in the vote to avoid this fate (and they weren't bottom of the vote actually)
Please show some support and applause for David & Camilla as they leave the competition!
So we're down to 3 - Bruce & Katya, Charlie & Aliona, and Chuck & Karen. One of you is SAFE, and will be back for week 2; the other 2 are in the dance-off and must win over the judges to ensure their survival.
The final couple who are staying alive in the competition is........................................
Congratulations Myk, you won't be going down to 2 couples tonight please, take a plush pew with your team.
So that means Charlie & Aliona, and Chuck & Karen will face the judges' vote tonight. As Ross doesn't seem to be here, and he hasn't sent a PM to me, this decision will be on a majority vote from Andrew, Izzie and Jamie.
JUDGES, IT IS NOW TIME FOR YOU TO VOTE. I WILL NOW ASK ANDREW TO STATE HIS DECISION. {All judges have 10 minutes from the post timestamp to state their decision}

Not on purpose though! Purely down to the order they were in and what dance they were doing...............

Comment: Myk : While this suited the dance well, it felt rather unoriginal. Even so, it was a nice concept to the song, and I did enjoy it.

Congrats Danny, your team is intact for this week! Take a seat on the plush pews with your team
But sadly, one couple had the fewest overall points, and so they are automatically eliminated. And that couple is......................

The next couple to have avoided the bottom 2 is................................................
Commiserations Myk.
Well done Mystery Mentor
