The judge casted doubts on Peter's reliability as a witness and openly accused him of fabricating the truth.

Strictly-centric wise, I think he's too self-aware and a bit false in front of the cameras. The "listening to the judges" shtick that Claudia shot down last week.

Anton deserves to be top of the leader board with katie so pleased for him, he looked chuffed

Agreed here too - loved Sophie EB & Brendan's ...


This all day long and I predicted they would be the highest scorers - go me!!!

Now for the long wait. I enjoyed tonight very much.

He has. He was top with Lesley in series 1. Top with Patsy in series 3. Top with Laila in series 7.

I thought Katie was overmarked. Kellie was far better than she was.

Voted for Ainsley, Anita and Helen this week - a real mixed bag.

They are not even subtle they are all over each other like a rash.

Kellie was magnificent but I think her dance was slightly easier than Katie's to be fair.


It's quite unnerving - especially from her

No way is Len having a new knee. I had one a few months ago and I was in agony for about 3 weeks. Maybe a key hole thingy.

He's had enough practice of it. Maybe it's just become second nature.

Same here. Think Anita was undermarked

Craig had a hip replacement last year and he was back on the show a week later.

OMG I predicted Anton and Kellie to top the leaderboard this week and look

SO HAPPY FOR ANTON ; Isn't this his first time at the TOP ?

Artem -v- Aljaz -= no contest. Aljaz could only hope to kiss Artem's feet.

There is a thread on him the showbiz section with discussion on the judges ruling contained in 130 page PDF - he does not come out of it looking good apparently.

She was soooo undermarked. ALL my votes went to Anita

I'm surprised he wasn't held in contempt of court for perjury.

Hip is not as painful as a knee but maybe they are made of stronger stuff than me.
Len is in his eighties so I would have thought a longer recovery.

A foxtrot easier than a VW? Seriously? Kellie made it look easy but it was very hard. Katie's VW was simple. Mainly pivots and not much else. Her footwork was awful. She didn't close her feet once. Technically Katie is poor.

Len is 71. Maybe that's why he needs a new knee.

I agree. I am loving Anita. She's really underrated.

That's ones of the things that really winds me up about him, especially when the judges don't actually mention his technique...

The reason Peter is generally in the latter half of the programme is surely because the production staff view the dress rehearsals and put the plonkers on first. Not that I think that Peter is the best dancer, but maybe it will put an end to the interminable moaning of some that Peter is somehow given the golden ticket

Yep me too

I think that's because she went first. If she went later in the order, like Peter constantly, I'm sure she would have be given a higher score.
