I thought he improved such a lot - especially in the dance off (still not great, I know, but better). I felt sorry for Zoe, too.
I'm so disappointed we didn't finally lose Craig. I blame Flavia's shiny shorts and an outbreak of masochism in the Blackpool region.

Im no Craig fan, but he was miles better than Joe. Joe should have gone weeks ago.

Tonight was easily Joe's best dance to date - personally I thought Laila and Anton were the worst tonight.

Joe should have gone in my opinion, but I found it quite sad to see them go due to the whole romance thing. They must be gutted, as I'm sure it will be harder for them as a couple now. As a result, their departure seemed sadder than the usual exits.

Personally I wanted Craig to go - it's an ordeal to watch the poor man every week. Joe looked relieved though!

Craig should have gone. I actually enjoyed Joe and Kristina's performance tonight. He should be proud of himself!

I think Joe is a really sweet man and has been very dignified in the face of some terrible criticism, especially as most people thought he would be a natural.

I'm just glad he could go out on a dance he can be proud of.

I agree, Alli-F. Joe has struggled with many of the dances but he really improved tonight and I was sad to see him go. He has come across as a genuine, sweet man throughout.

I think Joe thought that he was automatically going to be voted thru every week. He seemed flabberghasted to be in the dance off. Bruce had to call him down for it several times before he moved.

Bout time he went too

I thought Craig's dance was dreadful tonight but I think he was better than Joe. I think we got the right result tonight.

He may not have 'deserved' to go on tonight's performance...it's arguable...but looking at it cumulatively it was the best and fairest possible result.

Hear, hear

well said

sums it up perfectly for me!

He did his best tonight. He IS a fighter, though he IS also quite rubbish in dancing.

Glad for him that he's out, really, because now he can pursue Kristina FULL-ON without any need to worry of being accused of creating a showmance.

.

I thought so too and he was getting on my nerves waving his fists round all the time, even Kristina told him in training that the joke was wearing thin, although I don't think it was a joke it's just how he is

well that was a weird dance off. My Joes gone thats SCD over for me this year
<<<shuffles off snivelling.

You could hardly ditch Zoe surely!!!!!!!!
Joe or Zoe? Hm, I'll need all of a gigasecond to figure that one out.

The jive was Joe's best dance so far, but he has been the worst dancer since day 1 and he was still the worst this week, even after all the mistakes the others made.

He is a nice guy, but he can't dance for toffee.

It may be difficult to choose between the two because there's only one letter difference between the two names!

edit: Actually, just realised the e in Zoe has an umlaut (two dots) on top and so my original post above is invalid.

On that basis Ricky and Erin will be winning the whole thing! Coz Ricky from Enders and Ricky from whatever-he's-from are basically the same animal.

They're still closer than James and Ian, yet Bruno confused those two.

That was funny!

I thought I'd travelled back in time to series 3. Apart from the fact that there was no dance-off then obviously.

At least we can tell that Bruno is still passionate about the show!
