.. The bottom line is...

If the public don't save Rinder from the dance-off - he's out.

Otherwise it's the worst of Ore and Claudia - assuming one or both of them in the dance-off

Hi all! Yeah I definitely think Ore v Judge in the dance off. Although last year's musical week we had Helen and Georgia in the dance off which was quite a shock. Same could happen this year.

Please let it be Louise v Ore in the dance off....

I think Claudia will be safe. I think it will be Ore v Rinder and the latter going unfortunately. I would love to see an Ore v Louise dance off but that aint going to happen. I think Danny is safe also.

I am think we will be in for a wait tonight , so I have taken to watch xfactor until result I hope saara wins. when that finishes I am a celebrity on. they 3 of them all finish by next week

Oh yes please.

As always a truly heartfelt thank you to all who make this thread possible! Know it's not easy to organise every week and manage on the night!

Will be on the look-out for a direct-posting mole this evening.

Watching live, my first impression was it was a bit of a lacklustre night. Perhaps my expectations were too high. Will give it a second viewing and see how I feel.

Loved everything about the opening -- Anton, you beauty! and the West Side Story pro dance was great - wish it had been longer!

As much as I've enjoyed Robert, I think it's his time to go. However, I can see the public sympathy vote keeping him out of the DO. I'll be sad to see a DO between any of the other four.

10:41 please

Or better still Danny V's Louise with Danny out!

Come back Ed all is forgiven!

I am eating a tub of Ben and jerrys caramel chew chew ice cream. It is the most delicious flavour ever!
Although it is making my fingers freezing on a chilly night.
I too am watching the X factor. I still like X factor but it makes me appreciate strictly more as X factor has got so negative and cynical. (Saara to win)

Long time lurker on the spoiler thread, finally plucked up the courage to get an account and start posting this year!
Thanks to everyone who works so hard getting the moles and keeping this thread going, and to the moles themselves it is very much appreciated. I started lurking on the spoiler when my two daughters were quite young and would get upset if their favourite was in the dance off/was eliminated. With the spoiler I could 'prepare' them a little to ease the tears
Now my daughters have passed that stage I don't 'need' the spoiler but I still love to pop in and read posts from the regulars (and newbies like me) it's such a lovely pleasant thread to be part of so thank you. Eldest daughter now reads spoiler with me but younger one likes to wait until Sunday

Might even join in with the time guess next week

*leaves cakes and biscuits (gluten and nut free included), some wine, oil for the spinny chairs and an extra pack of balls for the ball pool in gratitude

Evening all
At my parents tonight so didn't think I'd get to watch. It they are happily installed upstairs watching casualty so I'm watching the show in catch up in another room... got up to Louise and Kevin...

Went to a Christmas fair this morning so bought some. Wiley's fudge... anyone is welcome to share.

Oh I have one question have we our spinning chairs back after the show stole them?!!

Thanks as always to the wonderful people on here that make this thread the wonderful place it is xxx

Was it me or was there a distinct lack of the dance they were susposed to be doing tonight?
Louise especially

Final Overall Leaderboard
1. Danny and Oti: 38 (5 points)
2. Claudia and AJ: 37 (4 points)
=. Louise and Oksana: 37 (4 points)
4. Ore and Joanne: 36 (3 points)
5. Judge Rinder and Oksana: 31 (2 points)

If I've worked it out right, whoever finishes in the top three of the public vote out of the top four will survive. Judge Rinder and Oksana could finish second in the public vote and still fall into the Dance Off.

And another thank you to everyone who makes this thread possible and a lovely place

Welcome Catie - cake sounds just the job right now on this cold, gloomy evening

Pootle I think one of our Spinny Chairs has gone on to higher things - got ideas above his station since his starring role in that VT


I reckon the others are still available and well oiled, though I best not risk it tonight, don't want to be careering down the race track while someone is trying to PM the result to me

I had the same, and it spread to my sinuses, and that was bleddy painful! Darling, sage is good, esp. with honey. And a decent nasal spray (I know, dead sexy, but it does help )

Hope you feel better soon.

Saara is exceptional #xfactor

And I will be in the minority here, but I hope Ore and JR are safe...unlikely, I know, but, I can hope x

I felt that too... especially after the build-up to her routine all week in I.T.T. I know it's not the most extravagant of dance steps for showstoppers, but still.....

Not just you but that's musical's week for you!

Will be added to next update

Let's be honest - the music choice for all of them - except maybe Claudia - were absolutely awful.

the celebrities have no control over the choreography they're given and I'm not too sure the pros do either

Please pleae let it be the ghastly Rinder going tonight. I don't think there has ever been a more affected contestant

James_Laverty you need to choose again.

Unless there's an upset, the judges basically gave away the bottom 3 in the cha cha challenge. They want Rinder out tonight and Claudia next week....
