I'd agree with that. I didn't like the Charleston at all.

It should be a Harry, Jason, Chelsee final imo.

Voted for my Chelsee loads lol

Slipped a few votes in for Holly. I'd rather her than Jason anyday. After his performance tonight !!

Holly may or may not have done quite enough. She may or may not be terribly bothered. She can dance but she always looks as if she has better things to do. Artem deserves to go through more than she does because he's the best choreographer out there.

Jason I admire because he's endearingly earnest and approaches what is essentially a bit of fluffy light-entertainment as if it's a philosophical argument. He can dance too but with him it has to be honed and honed and honed. And still it sometimes doesn't come off. But when it does he's as good as anyone.

Harry looks as if he could do it in his sleep and very occasionally looks as if he is. Some say he lacks personality but in this age of in-your-face vulgarity he is what he is: a very polite, well mannered and personable young man. He's also a brilliant and brilliantly consistent dancer.

Chelsee is bewilderingly good. I say that because she comes across as if she barely understands English and you wonder how she manages to execute the dances so well. But who cares? She's the most naturally talented dancer out there and is able to dance anything with amazing skill and vitality.

So, Alex and Holly to go? Chelsee or Harry to win. Has to be one of those two surely, they've been streets ahead the best all series long.”

Great post!

Hats off to you! How on earth did you manage to write this collected and honest appraisal while most of us (especially me) are still going 'Wha'?' and buzzing slightly between the ears? Well spoken, Verge.

I hope the GBP don't fall for it and don't put Jason through!”

VirgilHilts, that is a brilliant description of Harry. Everyone now has to be in your face, rude, etc... I think Dougie won IAC because he was the same and he got bad editing until the very end...

Holly's charleston was poor, but I thought Jason's samba was OK for me and that was the difference in the two and why Jason shouls reach the final for me.
I have voted loads for Jason. If he goes it was on a good dance and Kristina was so overcome it was lovely.

Totally agree with you, those three were memorable AT's.
I thought Chelsee and Harry were the best tonight, great dances !
Anyone else think the studio audience seemed less raucous tonight ? Less inane clapping and screaming out.

At least getting a 40 will give Jason something to talk about for a change

The scoreboard is what matters rather than the scores.

I would say Harry and Chelsee were very close, but I think Harry just edged it.

Hard to choose between Holly and Jason - Jason tries really hard but Holly is more of a (albeit tired)dancer.

The way it is set up, the public will decide between Holly, Jason and Alex as to who goes through with Harry and Chelsee, which I think is fair.

I hope it's a Harry, Chelsee, Holly final... I'm hoping Holly and Artem have the bigger fanbase...

I entirely agree with you and the other person who remarked about the perfect dancing that Kara and Artem did and never got 40 and the rubbish that Jason got away with tonight , it was all Kristina throwing her self at him so agressive , and his acting is so hammy , all he did was walk about and catch her when see launched herself at him , As for Alisha what was she on , the dance itself wasn't a patch on Artems which as Bruce said was pure CLASS, marking rubbish , but then it has been all the series .

All on top form tonight, a very Entertaining Show...but four 10's for Jason...:yawn:

And Holly's ATango...That stool bit, went on too long.:sleep:

Harry and Chelsee, just about booked their Blackpool Tickets, their 10's well deserved.

And Alex, bottom of the leader board, but just might, get the Vote.

If I were as eloquent as you I would have said the same word for word.

So what dances have the last 3 got left then?

have just watched the show and read all your comments

thought there were some stand out dances

both by Harry...what does he have to do to get a 10 from Craig His VW could possibly be my favourite VW of all time

both by Chelsee

Jason's AT I loved it. thought it deserved a 40

off to check the spoiler thread now

I'm gonna be strong and not look at the spoiler thread.

Loved tonights show, but would have loved it more if Harry had got 4 10's it was a beautiful routine. I felt so sad seeing his crushed face when Chelsea and Jason got 40.

I loved Jason and Kristina's AT routine and I have gone from not being interested in Chelsea to loving her performances.

Would love Harry to win not only for being a stunning dancer but more for Aliona having to take such negative comments from Len in the past. Aliona's choreography has still not been praised by the judges and I find that such shame. So I hope they win although I know it will be a Chelsea win.
