I hope my votes have been registered.

Tactical voting time. Natalie needs to be thrown 1 or 2 votes along with your favourite.

Based on tonights show, if she ends up in the D/O - woe betide who lands there with her.

Underwhelming night with ghastly music. Inevitable "come down" after the dizzying overmarking og Blackpool

I'm partial to a bit of biceps.....but less is more
Do they not have a shirt that fits him.

Split votes between abby, mark sophie x2 and ashley.iould be an upset me thinks.ben to go for me tonight. Great eye candy but wearing thin now.

3 votes for Ben and 2 for Abbey

Ahhh poor Len. Maybe a bit of sexism would make him more interesting

feeling the same way, if Mark must go then I'm transferring my Strictly love over to Abbey.

Reckon Sophie will be safe judging by the reaction on here and the number declaring to have voted for her. she definitely wasn't as bad as the judges made out but she is still very floppy which doesn't suit a lot of dances. Brendan was justifiably pi**ed off but the GBP will probably save them.

That's why Natalie doesn't need any votes.

My votes are going to Sophie because I thought she danced beautifully and they slaughtered her. No wonder Brendan was hacked off.

me too, I expected to dislike her and her vain, model ways but she comes across as quite humble, as a hard worker and is turning into a beautiful dancer so i'm glad to have been proved wrong in my assumptions

Agree with you, Hope he didn't come in and insist on a good spot, pushing some ticket-holding fan out of the way. He's got to be the most arrogant bloke on TV today and I can't stand him. Hope he isn't angling for a spot on the show next year...

Susanna sold that dance but in the wrong way. Too much facial expression and not enough body expression of the right type. Song didn't help and neither did the choreography.

Ashley still has the head tilt and I would have liked a slightly more romantic face but he danced it well. Good song and choreography.

Natalie looked the part and danced very well. The song took the life out of the Tango - worst song choice of the night. Good choreography but the wrong song.

Sophie's Rumba looked good from the neck down. Song OK and choreography was good. Just lacked emotion and connection.

The Foxtrot reminded that Mark struggles to learn technique. The song didn't help but the choreography was OK.

Good song and choreography for Ben's Charleston. He just couldn't get near Kristina's dancing though so he looked a bit tired in a very lively routine. Good song.

Abbey's Paso wasn't strong enough at times or fierce enough. It was a pretty Paso with plenty of content and actually nice to watch. Song was OK and the choreography good.

It was a good idea to minimise the in hold parts for Patrick because he still doesn't dance well in hold - so you could say the choreography was good. It didn't look like a VW though. The song gave no help.

Brucie - does he need better glasses or a bigger autocue? He seems to be able to get the words out if he doesn't have to read at the same time. Maybe his multi-tasking days are over?

Evening just bumping this up to main page

Well done, Brendans Babe!

Yay! Evening all. 8 are about to become only 7!

Hello brendansbabe and hello all

I'm trying to muster up some vim and vigor, but fading already...

Thinking Mark will go but want Ben to - not getting all the Ben love I'm afraid but find Mark endearing - it will be a shocker if anyone else goes for me

Yay James is better

This is very random. I bet costume had a blast though.

What is this dance? Is it a jive? Looks different to me.

Evening

Hoping it's Ben v Mark - I'd prefer Ben to go but it's only a matter of a week for either of them I think.

James dancing with Aliona is kind of ironic.

How random!

Ahhhhh!!!

Well that was quite fun in a small way I suppose.

I'm loving it though
