Happy hauntings.

My favourite themed week always. And this year does not disappoint. Top marks for costume to Helen & Aljaz. Anita has a pretty eye-opening start, horns and all. Jay's make-up is phenom.

Roll on the live show!!!!!!

Interesting statistics. Thanks cwickham, I have been admiring your work for some time now.

What I find most interesting is that two of the most dramatic dances, the paso doble (13 times ) and tango (9 times), have been performed most often.

Does anyone know if the pro dancers get to choose in which week they perform each dance?

No they don't or Pasha wouldn't be doing the Rumba this week

I would think that Pasha's only chance of getting Carol through with a rumba is when they have a theme and costume to distract viewers from her dancing technique. Just my opinion, of course

Jamelia is so-so for me, but think Tristan has a dry wit and is entertainingly very slightly subversive - did you see him glancing to laugh at the camera during ITT before the apple bobbing?

(Also laughed at Kevin's startled 'Alpha males - me and Tristan????' - he has a sense of humour too.)

also don't forget to vote for Georgia, Anita, Katie and then maybe we can get Carol in the dance off.


if you spread out your votes tonight over the middle and top of the leaderboard, that's how you can get the weakest dancers in the bottom 2.

enjoy the show tonight
