Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman present a night to remember on the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom floor. The competition is at melting point as the six surviving couples pivot, twist and turn to keep the glitter ball trophy in their sights.

Voting lines open at the end of the show; once the judges' scores have been added to viewer votes, the two lowest-scoring couples will perform again in the dreaded dance-off during Sunday's results show.

Dances in spoiler:
from http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/strictlycomedancing/posts/Week-11-Strictly-Songs-Revealed:

Ashley and Ola are going to Salsa to Gloria Estefan’s party tune ‘Conga’.

Patrick and Anya will Rumba to ‘When I Was Your Man’ by Bruno Mars.

Abbey and Aljaz are going to perform a Viennese Waltz to the Tom Jones classic ‘Delilah’.

Sophie and Brendan will Tango to Madonna’s ‘Material Girl’.

Susanna and Kevin will perform the Argentine Tango to Michael Jackson’s ‘Smooth Criminal’.

Natalie and Artem are going to perform the Paso Doble to ‘El Gato Montes’ by Ramon Cortez Pasodoble Orchestra.

The Swing-a-thon also returns to the show this week. For those who don't know, it's a Jive/Lindy Hop endurance-type contest where all the couples dance on the floor at once and which lasts for up to three minutes. The judges call out couples one by one who then leave the floor until only one is left. The winner gets 6 points added to their total score, second place 5 points, and so on.

Enjoy the quarter-finals! We're winding down to the finish now...

    Me too, the girls always look gorgeous.

    I hope Patrick's rumba is better than his own reservations suggest.

    I think there are a few dances I will be watching from behind a cushion holding my breath this week & Patrick is one of them.

    Thanks for the thread, and for saving me the bother of having to go look up the time of the show.

    Tonight will be the first test, for me anyway, of the changes to the DS forum format. Can't help feeling it will be a bit harder to 'watch and browse'.

    Yeah, although I am using the fan skin 'DS Old-Style' on chrome (thanks Pet Monkey), I think I may close the browser and just concentrate on the TV screen tonight.

    Potential dance order (per blog)

    Susanna
    Abbey
    Patrick
    Natalie
    Ashley
    Sophie

    Well, it cost me my entire Saturday and the feeling in my lower legs, but I've completed my Christmas shopping.

    Looking forward to Abbey and Sophie most of all tonight, but it's going to be a crucial show for sure.

    Many thanks for the thread.

    I really don't like the new forum format.

    I am however really looking forward to the dancing.

    Hello all.

    Does anyone have a cure for black right hand stripe of death?

    I've looked, switched the computer off and on (always important) can't find anything to cure it. Just the whole right edge chopped off.
