1st Bill & Karen do the Waltz #What the world needs now#
Hated the song & got bored halfway through. :sleep:

Len "like the start & finish, Hansel & Gretal"
Bruno "Good posture, stumbled, uneven"
CRH "Repulsive...but personal best"
Arlene "Coy, but great musicality, steps accuarate, but not master the flow"

Scores 6,6,7,6

Call me a cynic but I think Bill knows that bantering with the judges can keep you in - look at Julian last year!

You cynic

You're probably right, but I think all of the contestants have been a bit cheeky over staying in the competition at some point. I don't mind, as long as it helps them rather than hinders others.

I think they danced quite well and the banter attracts the publics attention.

I want that dress to wear to Christmas parties, and James Martin as my date



a girl can dream..........................

Karen's routine was actually a nice pastiche of an old RKO routine from the 1940s - really nicely done, even if it doesn't suit tastes today. Shame on the know-it all judges for not spotting it!

Patsy & Anton having great fun as usual, but it's a pity that Patsy's lack of confidence (and the dress problems didn't help) is sucking any oomph out of her moves.

At least Anton made an effort this time. But pink: never again!

Patsy's dress is nice - the tassly bits show off her movements. But she didn't look happy at all, and Anton seemed to be encouraging her round more than anything. He did say she'd had a bad week.

Ah, so Anton does have trousers to match the shirt, he's just saving them for later

Patsy looks like she is lacking enthusiasm. Maybe she is fed up. I'll give that a 6

2nd Patsy & Anton do the Cha Cha #Little less conversation
Made me smile, but off the beat, lol.

CRH "...."
Arlene "bad hip action"
Bruno"Tail of two halfs, cheeky pink flamingo"
"bit of a nightmare, these three need their eyes tested"

Scores 6,4,7,7

I did think 'omg! Patsy's dress look like it's falling off!'

Real shame cos it did look like she had to hold back because of it.

Arlene! She's really sour tonight, what's wrong with her?

ouch! That VT is not going to help Colin's popularity...

OMG I didn't know the dances are 30 seconds longer, that's a bit unfair.

Grrr @ BBC for showing Colin & Erin in a bad light again (even though I think Erin is spot on about the judging).

Yes, she's been quite sound in the past (well, that's just my opinion of course) but she's lost it this time and she knows it, and she's too stubborn to take a step back and calm down. Someone ought to have a word. It's getting silly.

I was just thinking that, it's really not going to do him any favours

Well they got good comments will the scores reflect that. oooh lets see!

Colin & Erin V. Waltz #You better stop#

Len You didn't like it, but I did"
CRH "Out of time"
Arlene "like a lightbulb is switched on"

Scores 9,9,8,8

Bruno and Len mark lower than Craig and Arlene?! Omg! Has hell frozen over?

I'm most definitely going to vote for Colin and Erin tonight. The VT will cost them votes but they deserve to be in there, much more than Bill, James and Patsy.

I want to be entertained. I don't want to watch a final with triers who can't dance.

There is something dodgy up with Colin and Erin and the judges, Has that ever happened where Len and Bruno give lower votes than Arlene and Craig

Ooh, Colin and Erin were marked well. Not sure it was quite good enough for 9s, but I won't argue with a generous Arlene

Oh I completely agree. Patsy's didn't seem to sparkle like she normally does.
I'll be voting Colin And Erin too

Looks like it'll be another 10 from Bruno then!
