I've just taken another look can't see what they are seeing thought it was ok, Even some of Cheryl's leg positions weren't as sharp as would expect from a pro, compared to say Peta.

He has double the views compared to say Katherine, so reckon if all the viewers vote he is well ahead. Don't see the attraction, but men and women seem to go gaga over him.
I don't think he's wildly good looking either. He seems nice enough and he's an OK dancer. Is he being scored on his looks? His jive was laughable in parts, yet he still received a decent score.

Maria seems to be marked on her looks as well. I don't think she's a great dancer.

He is hilarious!

Omg his comments though!
In a certain way he is right, sex certainly sells;so unless she really gets down a dirty she might not even make it to that final, sad but true(however there is still the salsa/samba/chacha/rumba for that).
During the recent weeks Donald has become increasingly popular so me thinks that he might make it to the final:he has the right combination for a winner(huge football star, enjoy the show, great chemistry with Peta)
-Katherine has been good but some people found her dance yesterday "bland". I really dont see it;I feel like she was acting and in total control of the dance.And if she is not careful, it seems like her popularity is dipping or static(thats worrying imo).
-William:Im certain he will make it to the final .
-I dont think that Maria should make it to the final .I think that she's way overmarked/overpraised but I wouldnt be surprised if she makes it pass Katherine tbh.

So far Maria, Melissa and Gladys are safe.

For the "dance duel" the bottom 2 couples will be on the floor at the same time doing the same dance to the same music.

Gavin and Jaleel in bottom 2. They are dancing the cha cha.

All 3 judges save Jaleel. Gavin has been Kimmel'd.

That dance duel was nervracking!!! Before it even started, I knew that Jaleel would win;as he was the most talented dancer.

I think Gavin going was the right result.

I feel so sorry for Kym. I get the feeling she will suffer even more now as Jaleel will be angry he was in the bottom two.

Thanks Lili.

I guess it was the right result . Gavin seemed nice and looked genuinely popular with everyone .

Not sure Kym looked too chuffed to be saved.

Wasn't a surprise that Gavin went I suppose even though Gladys is probably the weakest dancer left(but they need her in for Motown week as they presumably created it for her) and out of the bottom 2 would have preferred Jaleel to go if only for Kym's sake as she clearly is barely tolerating him.

As I was busy didn't really get a chance to comment on dance night.Have to say I was a bit disappointed by all the dances,if I had to pick two I enjoyed ;Roshon and Melissa (despite her being quite stiff there was more joy to her performance and Maks in an open pink shirt whats not to love) I hated Derek & Maria's dance,how the hell that got the encore is beyond me totally.Didn't like any of the AT's either,Donald's was too sexy,too many acrobatic lifts not enough dancing and Katherine's was too soft,her upper body was floppy and to me it looked like she was waiting to be placed by Mark and I didn't like the pink costumes.Least said about the Judges panting after William the better.

The dance duel seemed a bit of a mess to me also and very obvious in its outcome,no tension ,boring.


New thoughts for final Katherine(should be),Donald(should be),William(shouldn't but then neither should Maria the other judges choice)

Thanks for the link Lili.

Dance Duel - was I the only one going cross-eyed trying to watch it with the line down the middle of the screen - cr*p No suprise with Gavin, bit of a damp squib, pointless exercise.

It was a bit embarrassing for all concerned. More humiliateion for the crap dancers.

I hate it when the female pros parade around like demented drag queens to distract the audience. Yes, we know you can dance - let us see what your partners can do!

Bless him - "C'mon, c'mon, C'MON!" .

They must have had a really tough week with all that travelling. Gladys has tremendous energy and enthusiasm and never seems to say 'no' or 'I can't'.

I wonder if Maks has a soft spot for her too - he's the first to give her a hug when she gets through, and I've noticed him cheering on the balcony after their dances.

I think Maria is completely overrated by the judges. If she was dancing with any other professonal she would not be given such high scores for mediocre dances. Also no way should that Salsa have been given the encore when they could have shown one of the three amazing Argentine Tangos.

I think that's very true. The scoring has been very inflated this season in general.

Apparently Katherine is doing a Samba next week. She hasn't really done a "hippy" dance yet, so I'm not sure how she'll do.

I love Kym & I think she has gone in on herself because she is so uncomfortable with Jaleel.
She's so different with him than she was with Hines, Donny & others.
I don't really get the impression that they don't get on (i'm not saying that they do get on, just that I don't get those vibes from them)... I think it's just that they seem so focussed on the competitive aspect that I don't enjoy watching either of them and that I haven't particularly enjoyed Kyms choreography yet this season ( sorry).

Didn't enjoy Marias dance. Throwing in the kiss just made it look a bit desperate.

Donald's my current favourite. Poor Gavin though... absolutely lovely guy but couldn't dance.

Agreeing with you Christian looking at the viewing figures for their dance this week from just one youtuber, the viewing count is a colossal - 389,324 for Maria, compared to William's 46,000 and Katherine's 20,500. Don't know how that reflects in people's voting patterns, but she is rather popular or Derek is. Seems some are lapping up the faux romance Think they are very smart cookies doing whatever it takes, smacks of desperation to me, but what do I know, must be in the minority.

Regarding those viewing figures, I think that a lot of it has to do with the controversy that it created and not with the actual dance itself which in my humble opinion was overrated and rubbish.
I also think that most people are voting for Derek not her;Im not saying that she is not popular but she is not as popular as some people thinks she is.
I think that regarding the popularity of some celebs, it seems like it changes every week.
William is at the top, same with Donald and I would like to think that Katherine is somewhere at the top.
If she comes next week and wow all of us with her performance then she will gain more fans and maybe a ticket for the final.However if she delivers a lackluster performance then she will suffer(bottom 2 )
Im a bit worried bc the samba is not Mark's strongest dance(from what I have seen anyway). And that dance doesnt always score well.
If Im not mistaken, its the lowest scoring dance at strictly.
Anyway next week should be very interesting and hard to predict.
I still think that Gladys will be safe.
