1.

4.
5. Selasi Gbormittah & Janette Manrara (30.9) (StigOfTheKrump)
6. Mary Poppins & Gorka Marquez (31.6) (doctorwhofancal)
7. Linda La Hughes & Giovanni Pernice (25.2) (ADMR)
8. Harry Redknapp & Katya Jones (20.1) (IzzieStar)
9. Henry VIII & Kristina Rihanoff (15.75) (IzzieStar)
10. Daisy Buchanan & Pasha Kovalev (29.1) (Le Dansuer)
11. Floella Benjamin & AJ Pritchard (24.2) (StigOfTheKrump)
12. Len Goodman & Natalie Lowe (24.2) (StrictlyEastend/Damahepa)
13. Vladimir Putin & Karen Clifton (19.75) (winter99/StrictlyEastend)
14. Anne Darwin & Anton Du Beke (15.3) (Le Dansuer)
15. Prince George & Joanne Clifton (13.0) (Damahepa)
16. Kim Kardashian & Brendan Cole (20.0) (NicPlays)


Sadly Selasi has exited the competition in fifth place just missing out on a spot in the semi final by a tiny 0.3 difference in averages between him and Davood, meaning that Luke loses his second couple from the competition! Commiserations Luke.

We're now onto the semi final and the couples have just one unlearned dance left. I have an idea for the second dance that they can do so I just need to run it by Danny as he'll be the one hosting the round and then we're good to go!

Right, for the second dance of Danny's round the couples will all be re-doing a dance they've previously done (to a new song if Danny can be bothered, to the original song if he can't). The choice of which dance they do is down to you lot - the public.

I was going to use poll voting for this, but the site I made them on has deleted them all and rather than make them all again I thought we'd use the art of PM voting.

Davood Ghadami & Oti Mabuse:

Jack Laugher & Aliona Vilani:

Jessica Rabbit & Aljaz Skorjanec:

Kylie Minogue & Kevin Clifton:

Listed above is every dance and score each couples has done so far. All you need to do is select five dances for each couple you'd most like to see them reprise, with your favourite getting 5 points and your 5th favourite of these dances getting one point and send them to me (dancing.queen) via PM by 12PM tomorrow. The dance with the most votes for each couple will be selected as the public's choice.

I feel like I've made this more complicated than it needs to be, but I'm wary of ties etc.

The public have spoken, and I can now reveal the second dance that the couples will be performing in the semi-final.

Davood - Quickstep
Jack - Charleston
Jessica - American Smooth
Kylie - Jive

Apologies it took me so long to collate the results, life just gets in the way sometimes. Over to Danny now for the semi-final!

It sounds very good, and I'm assuming Kylie's Jive is the Jive-Jive and not the one that turned into a Charleston?

Wait, I am seriously confused, I thought I did Kylie's Jive in my week? I remember it was either her or someone else that had "All I want For Christmas Is You" as a Jive, and that exact same couple had a Jive the week after but didn't realise, and so was changed to a Charleston?

Anyway, good choices Danny.

I also thought I did "Stay Another Day" as a Rumba?

But I think it would work as a Waltz as well but never mind.

They've all repeated one dance; Jive, Quickstep, American Smooth, and Charleston, respectively.

I think you'll find I was given the opportunity to change the song choices see Queenie's original post, or indeed the series 6 semi final of real Strictly for comparison

Anything Goes (Although I did forget you'd used it!) I was this close to reusing Dancing Queen after Nick drafted it in to his round before the dance choices came in!

Kylie
Waltz- 36
Jive- 36
Total- 72

Davood
Waltz- 35
Quickstep- 39
Total- 74

Jessica
Waltz- 37
American Smooth- 39
Total- 76

Jack
VW- 37
Charleston- 39
Total- 76

Leaderboard:

1= Jack Laugher & Aliona- 76
1= Jessica Rabbit & Aljaz- 76
3) Davood & Oti- 74
4) Kylie "Sabotaged by Ross" Minogue & Kevin- 72

Now the semi final normally has 5 couples and a double elimination, so since this is the first time I've hosted a semi with only 4 couples, going to have a different tact!

Please vote for the TWO couples you wish to eliminate (so we effectively avoid a "vote to save" scenario)

Lines will close at 5pm tomorrow!

She's going to win anyway, I could give her 2/20 total and it wouldn't matter.

Kylie (surprise!) and Jack.

Davood and Jack. #YearOfTheWomanAndOrRabbit

(it would have been Davood and Kylie if it hadn't been for Ross and his cheeky little antics, something which I say as if I didn't give Davood a 5 last week)

Wonderful round, by the way. I particularly enjoyed Jack's Viennese Waltz.
