Love them - my favourite couple left and would be delighted to see them in the final. It's so good to see a good ballroom dance instead of the mash up some of the dances seem to be.

I also don't think either of them think they can actually win. I think they both know their limitations and are enjoying the whole thing and taking it as it comes.

That's very appealing.

I agree Their foxtrot tomorrow could be brilliant..

I've enjoyed them immensely, a fabulously elegant, grown up couple but it's their time to go now I think.

Her 'cutesy' nose wrinkle thing gets on my tits a bit, I'm sure it was wonderfully charming 30 years ago, now not so much.

I find them confident and happy. Two qualities I'd wish on anyone.

I don't mind them at all and I like the fact that they get on and find Anton mildly amusing and charming.

However all of their interviews have a veneer of, not fakeness so much, more that they're playing characters and they never seem to give too much away. It's all so jolly, such fun and they're having a whale of a time. Much more so than Kevin and Kellie who often get accused of such behavior. So much in fact that you don't feel that you're seeing the real them. If that makes sense?

This weekend will be it. 9 and three 10s and unstoppable momentum towards the glitterball!

On a more serious I don't actually believe they are the worst left, I think they have been lucky/ unlucky with the way their dances have fallen. I wouldn't be surprised if the foxtrot and the waltz that awaits them should they progress to next week will be comfortably their best dances,even in comparison to the superb Tango and VW already produced.

Peoole here talk about them like they are the only couple who have performed a less than awesome dance and that's just not the case. Helen's Charleston and Rumba were poor, ditto Rumba for Anita and Georgia, a dance where K & A exceeded all expectations, as with the jive in week one.

If they balls up the foxtrot tomorrow then they should undoubtedly go, if it's a triumph they could win.

Anton has always irritated me, so I never watch or listen to him, I haven't watched the show live for the last two years .... so I can FF all the twaddle har, har......

Nope I love them. But it's all down to personal taste isn't it? I personally can't stand watching Jay being interviewed, just the way I feel. And lets face it, if everyone agreed with each other the forum would quickly die, as would the show.

Since the toddler dismembering thing I find him absolutely unmissable, in a car crashy kind of way. Go on Jay... Gwaaarrrn, say something...

Makes perfect sense to me .
I really liked them at first and still do up to a point, but over time I've seen cracks in the glossy veneer of the pairing . It's like once the camera light goes on they switch on in a 'jazz hands' kind of way .As in anton being derogatory (oh yes he was) re a fellow pro's routine and then them both flashing pearlies in a showbiz "WE'RE ON ! SMIIIIILE" grin when they spotted the camera on them . It doesn't make them false as such, but it is a bit annoying once you catch on to it .
The odd thing is that kellie was allocated the "annoying stage school falseness" badge in week one, yet she has been much less showbizzy than kanton and is more likeable at the moment .

I definitely think they are playing a role for the cameras. I don't feel I know them any better now than when Katie first started, whereas I do feel I know the others. They remind me of those couples where the wife lets her husband lead every conversation and giggles in the right places, when you know she is far more interesting then him. I wonder what she is like on her own?

I really like Katie, although I can see that the way she smiles could irritate some people. Anton I am not that keen on, but on balance I enjoy them as a pairing.

They may get away with this week, as it is playing to their strengths, but come the next Latin it's going to be curtains for Kanton!

Could some nice kind person please tell me what all this 'har har' is about?

Please excuse my ignorance.

Nobody this year gets on my nerves a la Julien Maconald but, put it this way...I find Helen, Georgia and Jay a lot more likeable than Katie, Kellie or Anita.

Katie seems to me to think she's a lot better than she is. Anton - I can see his value to the show but I would not mourn his retirement.

Not a Katie fan at all - sooner she goes the better.

Do you mean Anton saying it, or posters typing it?

Well that's it really, many people think Anton says it a lot and it's their way of gently taking the mickey out of him. I don't know if he actually does say it a lot actually, but I certainly know what they mean.

In some ways Kanton remind me of a terribly middle class couple out socialising at the works dinner dance. It's all very 'A Bit of a Do', or the Gogglebox posh couple (as a reference for younger viewers). 'Another drink dahling? Chin chin!'
