Will they only open the voting lines on Saturday as usual or do we have extra on Friday?
No phone voting on Friday night.

SEMI-FINAL WEEKEND

This year, Strictly Come Dancing's Semi-Finals will take place over a scintillating THREE nights. The thrills kick off this Friday night at 9pm on BBC One with our first LIVE semi-final show. Firstly, all of our five remaining couples will perform a dance as per normal, and will be marked in the usual way by the judges.

Then, all five couples will take to the floor at the same time to perform in a group "Swing-a-Thon".

During the Swing-A-Thon dance, the judges will confer and Head Judge Len Goodman will eliminate one couple at a time. If the judges cannot agree the order the couples are eliminated then Head Judge Len will have the final say. When a couple is eliminated they will leave the floor but the remaining couples will keep dancing until only one couple is left.

The first to be eliminated will score 1, the second couple eliminated will score 2, the third couple 3, and the fourth couple eliminated score 4. The last couple still dancing will receive the maximum score of 5. These scores will be added to that night's leader board and carried over to the next night.

We all return to the dancefloor for a second LIVE night of dancing on Saturday 11th Dec, from 6pm to 7pm. Each couple will then perform a THIRD dance and be marked by the judges. All three judges' scores will be added together to produce a final leaderboard - after which, phone lines will open and YOU will be able to vote for your favourite couples.

The results of that public vote will be revealed in our Results Show on Sunday night at 7pm (NOTE the slightly EARLIER time than usual!) - a very special show that will also feature a performance by Take That! Sadly, at the end of the Results Show, we'll say farewell to TWO COUPLES, leaving THREE couples to compete in the Grand Final.

THE GRAND FINAL

After months of hard work and training, our three surviving couples will come together to perform for the prestigious Glitterball Trophy in the Grand Final of Strictly Come Dancing 2010 on Saturday 18th December. There will be two LIVE shows on Saturday 18th - first from 7pm to 8pm, and then later in the evening from 9.05pm to 10.05pm, when the eventual champions will be revealed.

Does this mean that we'll have a spoiler on Saturday night? I'm really not a fan of stretching it over 3 nights to be honest.

What I don't get they keep on pretending it's actually Sunday... by keep on saying 'What do you think of last night performance?'.

Because there are some people out there that probably would not understand that the results is recorded. You and I can understand this simple truth but there are just as many who cannot. I regularly deal with people who can't understand that telling me what they can't do such as sending and email is not telling me the problem. Telling me that their PC will not turn on, however, is.

Because everyone is watching it on a Sunday night therefore they are correct in referring to last night's show!

I think it's bit deceiving without them telling the televiewers that the "following result show is pre-recorded last night".

I've managed to bag tickets for the semi finals, disappointingly for Friday not Saturday but I will enjoy it as it's my first time!
Don't be too disappointed - on Friday's show you will see them perform 2 dances - the Saturday crowd will only see one!

The swingathon should be brilliant!

Thanks AlisonRose.

It's possible the first part of the programme, i.e. the 5 individual dances were recorded at about 8 o'clock and the swingathon was live, allowing a period of rest between.Thcouples changing costume and being hurried away to get changed were simply tools to fool everyone into thinking it was all live.
Anyone who was there, please tell us afterwards the answer to the "live" question above.
