Selasi, Jessica, Linda

Now I want her to stay in even more, and do Black Swan as her Showdance.

Selasi, Jessica, Davood.

Davood. Jessica. Selasi

Right, just got back, closing the vote now (a minute early, shock of shocks). Will count everything up and report back soon.

Forgive me, I'm a little rusty on the rules - what do we do in the event of a tie?

I reverted back to the average scores which Queenie may have noted down somewhere.

Ah, well I'm fairly sure I can guess who has the higher average between the two of them (but if it turns out I'm wrong, may it be stricken from the record)

Give me thirty seconds! I'll get the averages for you!

We hardly knew ye, Linda.

I've PMed captain_cherub the averages now. Thanks to Izzie for getting my backside into gear.

Everything has been totalled up, computerised, extemporised, alphabetised and overthought (a bit like this sentence then), and the results are in.

Through with no votes at all (whether that’s a mark of popularity or utter forgettability is up to you) are...

Surviving this week’s elimination (and hitting the Strictly bar early tonight) with just 2 votes are...

Taking the HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER ZONE but stopping off at a service station on the way with 6 votes apiece are...

This leaves our final two couples, who are Linda & Giovanni and Selasi & Janette. Both are tied at 8 votes apiece, and so we must revert to the Sudden Death Law of the Holy Averages.

The couple with the lower average (by 5 whole points) and therefore leaving in a frankly SHAMEFUL seventh place, booooooo, is...

Sadly it's Ash's turn to lose a suggestion as Linda bows out in a respectable seventh place. Right now I bet she's telling you all to f*ck off. A big thank you to captain_cherub for his excellent round and it's now over to Silarmy for round eleven!

I'm genuinely shocked Linda lasted this far into the series. And at her popularity. Great show captain cherub. Looking forward to the next

My round will be up at 9:20!

Wonderful round, Chris. And I look forward to Silarmy's.
