Random draw for semi final and final will be on Sunday. Please let me know if you don't want to be including or if you can't do either particular date.

Thank you for letting me judge Izzie.
I have a feeling my scoring will be annoyed somewhat because of
Spoiler
Show will be at 7pm. It probably wouldn't have been earlier anyway, so late marks haven't made a difference.
MUSICALS WEEK! 🎼
Sadly I cannot provide you with The Anton du Beke Musical to open this show. I only wish I could, but the budget of DS does not stretch to such greatness.
Oh yes, there was a show too which very much had the vibe of ‘minimum of 9s for anyone who ain’t Rinder and don’t fall over!’. Danny and Oti continued their reign at the top of leaderboard via the medium of a Dreamgirls Tango, while the aforementioned Robert and Oksana really had their limitations shown to us through their Samba. The biggest upset was that Benedict Cumberbatch didn’t finally come and support his supposed best mate when this song of all songs made for the greatest opportunity of all. (The end of episode two of series three of Sherlock for anybody who’s wondering what the hell I’m on about.)
Putting aside my lust for Sherlock, let’s see how Ore and Joanne got on…

The budget for this is £0!
Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton dancing the Foxtrot to ‘Pure Imagination’ (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory)
Craig – 9
Darcey – 9
Len – 9
Bruno – 9
Total: 36
Do our judges wish they had, in fact, been in a world of pure imagination rather than watching that routine?

I know, it's hard to believe that DS don't pay me copious amounts for hosting this series.

East: Ore I loved it, it was sweet and delicate like a flower and I loved the whole dance, your frame and posture is great, UNFORTUNATELY there was one or two hesitant moments, overall, I LOVED IT!
At least he got one week of not dropping marks (before promptly being dropped to the bottom of the vote again)…
TWO MARKS FEWER
Unsurprisingly, in the death slot were Robert and Oksana…

We'd all make millions if they did, which would probably bankrupt Digital Spy!

Luke – 7
Total: 30
Luke: You can't help those facial expressions, can you? It's been eleven weeks and you're still moving your mouth about like a fish choking to death. Honestly, Les Dawson would be jealous. On the plus side, there was a great deal of Samba content, and even if you didn't execute it perfectly - the fact that there were three extra dancers behind you doing the same routine, except much better, didn't help - at least you had a go. Which is more than I could have said for Ed Balls. Given your appearance in last week's bottom two and your place on this week's leaderboard, there doesn't seem to be much of a possibility that you'll survive past tonight, but if this is it, then at least you went out pirouetting. Bravo.
Quite a difference of opinion amongst our judges there, but not too much in the way of change…
ONE MARK LESS
It’s time to see how Louise and Kevin got on…

And I've Gotta Feeling that the our way dance off could be up against Ore judging by his unlucky fortune on here!

Look at those scores!
They aren't quite as wild as the ones on Riley's game!

Ash: Amazing. One of your best dances. Most personality I've ever seen you put into a dance and out of hold some amazingly crisp aspects. I thought the parts in hold could have been cleaner but almost perfect. The backing dancers were fairly pointless for most of the dance.
Not too much of a calamity for this pairing…

The penultimate dance came from Claudia and AJ…

After receiving a whole four tens on Our Way, Claudia bagged herself a ‘real’ one here. Is she about to see a few more?

Fair enough scores, the 8 and the 10 balance it out perfectly!
Ash – 9
East – 10
Lewis – 10
Luke – 8
T]otal: 37
Luke: Aside from the fact that Mark and Iveta did it better and can never, ever be topped... I quite enjoyed this. It was more of a gymnastics display than a traditional Salsa (what, on this show?), but it was a great gymnastics display. You're fast, you're fluid and you looked as if you had fun, which is certainly an improvement from the moody teenager we got in the early weeks. Sure, it wasn't the right dance for your "Claudia hasn't got a 10 yet, did we mention?" storyline to culminate on in the slightest, but for what it was, it hakuna materrific (sorry).
This score is definitely putting them in the spotlight…
MATCH THEIR SCORE
Finally, it’s Danny and Oti…

As much as I am sorry that Will had to pull out, only having to write up five performances for this show has been an absolute dream.
LINES HAVE NOW OPENED!
Please rank the quarter finalists from 1-5 (1 for least favourite, 5 for favourite) and PM those votes to me. Tomorrow the lines will close at 8pm when our bottom two (Ore and Robert, let's face it) will under the scrutiny of our judges once more.
See you then.
A 9 for Judge Rinder and an 8 for Danny from Lewis, as they say, everyone has their own opinions. 
I can't quite believe what I am saying here though, I DIDN'T MIND THE BACKING DANCERS!
