It happened with Kimberley, who finished second, and Caroline, who won, so clearly dancing a Waltz and being in the dance off has no correlation to you actually being a good dancer or not, it's just not as exciting as a Tango or a Salsa...

Thankyou AnnDancer.

On a different note, I was perusing The Apprentice forum on DS a few minutes ago. They have a spoiler thread, but it is basically the FMs trying to work out who is still there and who has gone from the teaser clips shown before and after the programme.

Just like the Strictly Results Show, Youre Fired is pre-recorded. Someone on the spoiler thread has posted "if only we could do what the guys over on the Strictly forums do and find a spoiler mole in the audience for each week."

We are famous!!

Could it be that we all thought she had more ability than she actually has. I like Katie but she is the first to admit she makes mistakes. Even Craig said it was a great routine by Anton and that she couldn't carry it off.

I always worry when someone has a waltz when they haven't got it out the way early on. Because it is pretty forgettable. Like you say with Kimberley and Caroline. When I watch back the weeks those two were in their dance off they're actually pretty good. It's just not as exciting as a lot of other dances.

Peter hasn't done ANY of his waltzes (Waltz and Viennese Waltz ) YET .

Carol v Kellie

CAROL OUT

Yes I like what Jeremy said and it's very true.

I wish though he wasn't regarded as the "comedian" as he can dance a bit and is trying his hardest every week.

I really hope he gets to go to Blackpool

BTW. Was it my imagination or did I see Claude Littner in the audience?

I know just how you feel, won that converted glitter ball a couple of weeks ago, and was indeed chuffed to bits 😂 Enjoy x

Happy days

Quite. He's approaching ever dance with dedication & pride in his efforts. Would love him to get to Blackpool too - fingers crossed

You did. I didn't see him as I was looking at my computer at that moment
but my daughter said, 'What's Claude doing in the audience?' I thought she meant Claudia at first - Tess frequently calls her Claude- until daughter said Claude from 'The Apprentice'. Maybe he'll be one of the competitors one year.

So who should have replaced Carol in the dance off ? Correct result


Each to their own...the reason I don't like them as much as other couples

1. Kevin has got too big headed for his boots maybe the dance off will do him some good
2. Kellie's constant screaming gives me blinding headaches.
3. Both are way too hyperactive .. they need to take a chill pill.

Thanks to AM and her wonderful team for their outstanding contributions to our enjoyment of SCD.

Surprised to see Kellie in the DO, thought Kevin's popularity would keep her safe, but it was Carol's time to go.

Big Thanks to those who provide us with the spoiler week after week.

I agree, loved what Jeremy said.....and I also hope he gets to Blackpool.

My guess for next week will be Jamelia plus ANO .
I dont think it will be Jeremy.
It might be Katie but I think Anton's fan base will carry her through for another few weeks.

So that will mean Jamelia plus one of the top group of six, .as I call them

I did wonder this - I wasn't sure if all middle-aged bald men look the same to me or not...

True, but the people right below her (on the judges leaderboard) did a Rumba and a VW which aren't the most exciting dances either (though with Jamelia you can explain it with the bottom two bounce).

Still, it is very difficult to tell how popular the contenders are. We only know that on this dance Kellie was the least popular (and the past has proven that a bottom two appearance about now bodes well for a place in the final).

Just got to watch Strictly this morning - a much improved show from last week. The correct person went - it would have turned sour for Carol if a good dancer had left ahead of her and i would have hated to see things going pear shaped for her.

Im shocked that Kellie was in dance off. Perhaps it was being in mid table, but i would have thought they had more support than that. Kevin first time in DO! (no harm that he experienced that as it make him appreciate what the other pros have to go through).

For me Peter had the dance of the night. I love the concept of their Charleston - really impressed with Janette and her choreography. I know it wasn't perfect but i thoroughly enjoyed it! (i have no allegiance to any of the celebs this year - its so freeing not having to worry)
Jay's AT did nothing for me - Alionas was smokin hot but Jay had no emotion whatsoever which is why i think his Jive was so good. The role he had to play in that dance was perfect for him. His steps wee spot on but a bit to AT by numbers for me.

Love Anita but her Jive was a let down and Georgia did so well to keep that pace up in the Samba.

They are trying to make Jeremy the 'joke' contestant this year and i think he hates it. He is very serious about Strictly and looks for constructive criticism but they just laugh at him really. I feel a bit sorry for him.

Once again huge tanks to Abigailsmum for her storming work every week!

just been reading a piece in the Mirror that four contestants at 'war' Peter, Jay, georgia and Jamelia they end with jamelia scored 28 but it failed to eliminate her from tomorrow nights dance off ??? whilst I have no doubt the spoiler is right, what is up with the Mirror

That picture of Jay and Alliona , looks like it should be in the Kama Sultra

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves these things.

Did they mean they were still in the danger zone perhaps?

It is an interesting photograph.

Made me look at their dance again. It looks much better on second view.

Shame the edit window is so short, as I suspect this would have been edited by the poster who started the thread.

I take your point completely. I saw Tim Vine there for Jeremy, then thought I saw Claude. In profile they can look very similar, so I couldn't be sure if I had mistaken one for the other.
