Six remain. Two will leave.

Should we just do the classic way of each saving one until we have our two that are leaving?

Yep, let's do that

Because you won the challenge you can pick first

And poll is back up! No need to vote again, it's all set and got your message

Cool

Tonight, I'm saving PIA AND MARK first.

I'm saving CHILLI AND ALEC.

I'm saving PORTIA AND MAKSIM.

Three remain:
T-Boz and Stefano - relative newcomer but has been very high in the leaderboard
LeToya and Dmitry - only couple out of these to recieve a perfect score
Vanilla Ice and Anna T - only male left in the show and audience's favourite

But who stays and who leaves us tonight?

EDIT: And 6,000th post! Thank you DS, I'm quite surprised I've racked up this many

6,000 posts, congrats

The way I look at this is that T-Boz and LeToya were both Team Dond tonight. And I saw them dance their asses better than ever. So, my first elimination tonight is VANILLA ICE AND ANNA.

Which means all the men are gone. And tonight, I honestly look at the person who has been here the longest and worked the hardest. Tonight, my second elimination is T-BOZ AND STEFANO.

So our semi-finalists are:
LeToya and Dmitry
Chilli and Alec
Pia and Mark
Portia and Maksim

Woo, congratulations to Chilli, LeToya, Pia and Portia!

A little sad to see all of the men gone *stifles a tear*

When should we do the Semis?

I wanna do them now, TBH

Series 2 will feature more guest judges than ever!

Will it? Cool, I like guest judges

I wanna do the semis now, too. I'm in the mood

Should we start then? *goes to check schedule to see the dances*

Yep, I'm thinking of asking the creator of DWTSGame, she knows her stuff Final on Wednesday for that - Cindy Crawford, Kamie Crawford and Daunte Culpepper.

Let's do it then
Remember it's The Challenger, so all contestants must dance a routine performed by one of the other contestants.

DANCE ROTA:
Chilli and Alec Mazo (D)
Pia Toscano and Mark Ballas (S)
Portia DeRossi and Maksim Chmerkovskiy (D)

The routine brought back good memories. And you revived the dance with as much class and beauty as Portia.

That was absolutely divine, a real work of art Pia. It was amazing the first time that Portia danced it but you just took the the dance to a whole brand new level. You deserve that place in the final by a long way - you could win it!

Score: 10/10

1. Pia and Mark: 30

It's another ten from me, Portia. And do you know why? I hate to use the cliched 'J word', but you have been on such a journey in the competition and you have really become on of the best dancers we have ever had. It's going to be such a close call tonight.

Score: 10/10

Stig, could you PM me Matt Evers' new partner?

A brilliant routine, such elegance and beauty, as well as passion and entertainment. Not as good as Chilli's but still brilliant
