Bit In Bold =

I’m glad to see Claudia given higher scores and also YAYY for her getting a perfect 40 on her Quickstep which she deserved! Also pleased with Ore & Louise given lower scores on here than the actual show. I do wish Danny’s American Smooth got a 40 too, but still a great score here.

Great show, Izzie and the judges who judged! Will be sending my vote in shortly.

brilliant series, I loved judging week 9& thank you for giving me that slot after admiring this game for a few series but never judging, I may not have being picked for next week but I will love this& look forward to what happens and the unpredictability is awesome at times

If only that was the real leaderboard

Claudia was 2nd in my votes but I thought she gave 2 outstanding performances and it's great seeing her getting the recognition she deserves on here, really hope we'll vote her into the final.

Thanks both. I can't say this has been my favourite series of Strictly, but it's always fun to bring the forum together during the series.



Claudia has definitely been a bit of a slow burn on this series, but has really stepped up as the 'frontrunner' amongst the people involved in this game. Bit of a shame that this didn't translate to the actual vote.

Last night saw the end of the road for Claudia Fragapane and AJ Pritchard who lost out in the dance off to Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse. Having topped the vote in Our Way last weekend though, I think it’s fair to say that Claudia stands a very good chance of avoiding the double tonight. Then again, my predictions have been off all series…

A series first tonight too, as this is the first time in Our Way history that the vote percentage is also the number of votes, having received ten votes which tots up to 100 in total. What a day to be alive.

Topping the vote with 32.00% are…

Who would you have saved in the dance off? I'd have saved Claudia.

(By the way, you are needed in another dance off right now, in my series. )

Oh dear, I didn't realise the Our Way results clashed with mine.

Hopefully Izzie, you'll have time to vote in mine whilst waiting for the judges on here to turn up.

CLAUDIA FRAGAPANE & AJ PRITCHARD!

I know this is little consolation for her fans, but it is something at the very least. Despite a slowish start with the Our Way votes, this couple has really powered ahead in these last few weeks and completely dominated the vote last week being the only couple never to look in danger. It was a closer-fought battle this weekend, but still they added another vote-topping round to their name.

At the opposite end of the ranking, with the fewest votes and just 19.00% of them…

Already voted in yours.

I haven't actually watched the DO! I know, I know...terrible for the host of a comparison series, but we decided to skip the results and watch a film instead.

LOUISE REDKNAPP & KEVIN CLIFTON

Another two-week run here, but one that isn’t quite so joyous. I’m not quite sure how Louise and Kevin have fallen behind long-term struggles Ore and Joanne, but here they are again.

And, with 20.00%, they will be joined by…

Thank you!

ALSO,










YAY OUR WAY JUDGES, HAHAHA NORMAL JUDGES, OUR WAY JUDGES RULE, WOO!

ORE ODUBA & JOANNE CLIFTON

That’s right, while the Strictly forum goes into meltdown over rigging and favouritism, our little sub-forum has protested in the most dignified way it knows how – completely overturning the outcome we saw at the weekend.

Danny and Oti are safe with 29.00% of the vote.

19 per cent is a HIGH bottom percentage vote!

This is the complete opposite of what we got yesterday!

While I know it’s difficult with two dances being performed by each couple, please try and use the basis of the dances on Saturday night to make your decision.

JAMIE, who will you be saving and why?

The lowest possible percentage available was 10%, so it's not actually that high when you look at it that way.

While we wait, and because I see you're already on the thread...

RYAN, who would you like to save and why?

It probably should have been this too.

The standard of this Semi Final was huge where it was so competitive.

But I have to save the couple who has been consistent and has always managed to bring a smile on my face when I see them dance.

I'm saving Ore & Joanne!

Thank you Ryan. That's an early lead for Ore and Joanne as we go to our next judge...

NICOLAS, who are you saving and why?

Is there anybody online who would like to guest judge this round should we need it?

I can if needed

I will guest judge. If you need it...
