I'm glad she does as there is no way she deserves to go out yet anyway. I just don't put faith into twitter followers = winner. As Mark proved.

I'd add Sunetra to that.

True and I love watching her but she did dance a lot as a child or so it appeared from a VT at the beginning of the series. Not sure if she went to stage school though as they usually get lots of all round training in all performing arts so she's likely to have had dance teaching of some sort.
My votes went to sunetra mark and alison. Bottom two are still scott and judy as the worst dancers imo. Think there cld be a shock tonight. Lots of bunching in the middle.

I thought that at first but it was definitely there but on the red part of her dress so not easy to spot.

Tess, like Claudia, was wearing a 'normal' paper poppy, but she was wearing it so far over to the left that it was virtually in her armpit and the colour blended exactly into her dress.

But it does show that not much can be read into twitter followers re:voting patterns.

Len should not attempt a “dance on.” The cameras tried to avoid him, but what we saw of his, looked particularly geriatric.
The music choices were mostly poor. “Addicted to you? Whoever chose that certainly had some sort of addiction. They need some help.
Some choices had the singers really struggling, I wasn’t surprised.
Tess has spent too much time with Bruce, she’s becoming to sound like him. “My darling?” wasn’t that one of his?
Craig’s comment on Jake’s feet. He was right, wind back to; “here they are in training” (there’s an oxymoron if ever there was one). Check him going up the stairs to the gym. See the contrast between his and his partner’s, his were at “10 to 2.”
Phew! With whom wax Iveta dancing?
How many more “tennis” reference will we have to endure with Judy? (Anton’s tennis sweater).
Judy in a dinghy? What a load or rowlocks.
Claudia has the right personality for this sort of show.
Camera control was better this week.
Scott to go.
Frankie or Pixie to win.
Good show, spoilt by some awful music choices.”

Anton was wearing mens' leisure clothing typical of the nineteen twenties when outdoors. They were in a boat. Men in punts in Cambridge still dress like that.

Unkind remark ! She definitely was wearing one. Perhaps you should go to Specsavers

She might have had very good personal reasons for not wearing a poppy. Why should she have to wear one if she doesn't want to?
I wasn't exactly expecting to say this, but I think Judy was better than Alison and Scott. Both of them were so bad this week...

So do some club tennis players, anywhere.

I'm not making a big thing about it, but, In my opinion, no person has a reason not to wear a poppy. It's an acknowledgement that we likely wouldn't have been here, but for the sacrifices of others. Whatever your views on anything else, they are secondary. If you weren't here you'd be unable to have any views, on anything, that's the main reason for the sacrifice, to give you an opportunity to have a view.
It's a small enough gesture, once a year.

I agree, but would also say that Alison was a lot worse than Scott.

Yep, Sunetra, Mark, Steve and Thom are all the favorites in our house as they're improving massively, Sunetra's Viennese for me was the performance of the night, just gorgeous!

Sunetra, Mark, Steve, Thom , Simon and Caroline, yes Simon all 5 that I like. Caroline is good too and have to be honest she has really surprised me.

Exactly. I always get annoyed by the people who turn up at Remembrance day just to be seen. Made a point of never going when I was on the council. Simply that my mother lost her first husband in the war, my uncle was a POW and I am married to an ex service person. So I felt I was nothing to prove regarding respect.

The campaign was launched this week.
