Can you imagine!
Would hope for a backstage mole to bring reports of flouncing and door slamming

Phone voted (for the first time since Kimbot) for Cloudier. She got my online votes too. I fear that it may be in vain though.

The tie may help. Clutching at straws here.

So unappreciating the judges tonight. Hope the public get behind Cloudia and give them a problem of their own making in the dance off. Gah!

Unappreciating the judges' clear favouritism and bias towards the Cliftons and their partners tonight with their overmarking on all their dances

Anyone know what the rule is for which dance a couple choses for Dance Off?

They get to choose.

There haven't been rules really. Most choose their highest scoring dance but Natalie G picked her lower scoring AT as she thought she could dance it better.

I don't think there is one - they can do whichever they like.
Natalie did her lower scoring dance.
I assume they have to decide before the results show to be in the right outfit, but I think that's about it?

The benefit woild be in the PR thing. Sibling rivalry, drum up interest in the show, promoting the Final as an Old West or Civil War type showdown, pitting brother against brother and all that.


BIB - I don't, sorry. I have reached the end of my very low patience with fake 1950's housewifey tweeness, ooh I can't possibly wear short skirts, oh my goodness what will Jamie think fakery. That salsasamba Carmen Miranda thing was awful, and when you se her jn the Clauditorium the woman can't even clap her hands in time with the music.

If they get into the final, can you imagine what the show dance would be like? Margot Leadbetter dances around the kitchen because she got lots of bubbles from her Fairy liquid?

Too right. Ore at top to justify putting him through. I am so irritated.

Get rid of Tiny Tears NOW.....

With added hostess trolley


I just wonder how much the various race headlines have influenced things.

True but, as you say, they pulled it off with their Quickstep. Thanks to the awful music choice Louise and Kevin didn't even have that opportunity with the Tango.

Louise and Kevin were the only couple to dance their weakest dance second.


I want to see this. I really want to see this.

Give me strength - Darcy cooing to Louizzzz that her samba was "charming". Wonder where the definition of samba states "charming". Darce definitely firing on all the wrong cylinders tonight.
Oh and give me double strength - in the Clauditorium when the big thing was "voting is now open" - everyone going mad hamming it up - Louizzz sedately clapping, does she EVER have fun? Having said that though, someone calm the hell Karen Clifton down

Cheers for that! Well the judges put Ore top of the leaderboard tonight - it would be very hard for them not to save him now surely from any of the others - wouldn't that make a mockery of their scores?

Agreed with her. That lift was not well-executed. The routine did not need it

Yep the one they have the costume on for!

His first dance against anyone's should, apparently, take it.

His second against Danny would be interesting.

Have just realised how bonkers this sounds

Says the Goldilocks of fun having. So who was just right?

What possible benefit do they have for over marking Jo Anne and Ore.

Honestly it's the unfairness.

I KNOW what a quickstep is supposed to look like do a samba, an AT and a tango. It was the quickstep that made me especially stabby. Claudia got it glide across the floor from the top but feet dancing on coals down below. Ore was bobbing up and down like a boat on water.

Not one mention. I know the judges don't know an AT I expect them to talk rubbish but it's season 15 the audience knows all the times contestants have been told they are too up and down all the hoo hah over Jo wood and Craig and the kangaroo business then Ore gets swept through to top of the leader board.

Louise looks like a hostage completely haunted and I am expected to beleive she been on a journey.

Lord knows why they would want it except to promote brother against sister but it makes me feel really stabby at the unfairness of possibly loosing Danny or Claudia both of whom are really better than either of the Vlifton celebs so yes it is me too I am afraid! .

Don't forget it is based purely on the dance off yeah right! I can't see any scenario in which they won't save Louise unless she falls over. I only wish she looked like she really wanted to be in the final.

Unfair to Margot. She had panache and could have made 90 seconds of loading the dishwasher stylish, artful and sardonic...

May have to try to find The Good Life online to offset my ire...

What race are the Cliftons?

BIB a Barry and Frida dance. I'd vote for that

Let's just pray we get the chance to test this theory vs Aw-ray. Wasn't that bothered if he made the final before tonight. Now hoping for any other scenario.

Grimsby, of course

Yeah, opportunity lost in their rhumba.
