Are you saying that you have not seen a difference in the way he danced on Sat from when he first done a cha cha??
I think they are great together, I wasn't so sure on Matt in the beginning but I like him now.

Peter & Erin I think will most likely go this Saturday, unless Peter pulls off a good performance, which is possible as he is back to ballroom style dances this week. If Peter does OK or his vote holds up, I think it will be either Carol or Claire to go

Who I'd like to see go, or least want to stay - probably Claire and Brendan.

Yeah I agree would like to see Brendan and Claire go this week, she is smug and I dont like that.

Claire and Brendan-she's so tacky and he's too arrogant.

Blimey its 'horses for courses' I suppose but well, I watched VT of the tango (before and after) on youtube last night- which I thought was a good dance for him - after watching that and comparing it to last Saturday (and even the Saturday before that), I thought it was obvious the change in him ....I don't just mean the dancing but also on VT and chatting to Tess..

But then I suppose we all see what we want to see, If we ain't keen on someone from the outset its hard to see anything positive in them...Mind you I can't talk, I haven't taken to Mark really and think exactly the above too

* runs out of room to escape the hoard of Mark fans*

Oi! We're not all rabid.... Just ever so slightly deranged....lol I've taken to Matt after seeing his American Smooth; he really has come out of his shell and I hope he continues to do so.

I think to go this Saturday will be Brendan and Claire, being in the bottom two twice now is not a good sign of things to come methinks

It's not a case of seeing what I want to see; I was a huge, huge fan of Lilia last year and she was the dancer I wanted to see do well, Matt Dawson doesn't offend so was going to support them but it has all seemed a bit flat, then he kept trying to be funny!

Yes he dancing has improved but he still looks like he is going throught the motions instead of enjoying it. Maybe I am being unfair in comparing their relation to Darren G and Lilia which was amazing.

Whilst I confess to being a huge Mark fan I love that he is enjoying him singing along to Hot, Hot, Hot just summed it up - he was loving it and caught in a moment!

Only 24 hours to go till my poll ends!

158 votes were cast last week, COME ON Guys!
Lets beat that!

Think & want Claire & brendan

Think Claire and Brendan
Want peter and Erin

It will depend on performance of the dances, if Claire and Brendan are above Matt and Lilia on score then Matt & Lilia will go, and vice versa. I am basing this from what I guess were the viewers votes last week which I think were:

1) Mark & Karen
2) Carol & Matt and Emma & Darren
4) Peter & Erin
5) louisa and Vincent
6) Ray & Camilla
7) Matt & Lilia
8) Brendan and Claire

The top 4 could be in a different order and so could Ray and Camilla against Lilia & Matt. But otherwise unless there is a huge change in performance I would guess it will stay roughly in the same order

Yes or unless someone gets terrible comments and therefore gets the sympathy vote!

Bearing in mind how wrong we were last week. I'm frightened for who ever comes 2nd/3rd in our poll. On that basis I think I should vote for my favourite

I honestly don't remember Darren Gough smiling much when he danced, if anything I thought he was the one who didn't appear to be enjoying it. I know he did but his personality never really appealed to me. All this "I've never danced before" crap. Neither had Colin, and he was a better dancer.

Darren was also completely pathetic about his dancing, he kept saying "I'm not doing that!" about everything. In fairness to Matt, he will do anything asked of him and he is actually much less self concious than Darren G was!

Want: Matt & Lilia
Think: Louisa & Vincent..... time for another shock exit to spice up CiN weekend

Think: Claire and Brendan (They have been in the bottom 2, twice now...not many last a third time)

Want: Louisa and Vincent

Think: Claire and Brendan
Want: Louisa and vincent(god he loves himself)!

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree there!

He was perfectly entitled to say all the I've never danced before crap because he hadn't!

Darren would often say I'm never doing that but always did, just like Emma saying it's too difficult I can't do that and yet always does.

After watching the training footage, I've absolutely no idea who'll go, but I'm getting a strange inkling that Louisa and Vincent may be in trouble. Her ballroom isn't great, and Vincent is seriously starting to grate on the nerves.

I think Brendan and Claire will go although I'd rather Peter and Erin went. Matt & Lilia simply cannot leave so I will be doing some serious voting.

I want Peter and Erin to go, or Louisa and Vincent, but I think even with Emma's lack of training this week, Craig will probably give her good scores.

I don't want Claire and Brendan to go, they can go next week.

From the training video, it's impossible to guess as most people are in their comfort zone this week - Matt and Peter are so much better at ballroom than Latin and Matt is glowing now he's getting praise, Clare and Louise I think will both suit the drama of the tango, and Emma and Carol have both done well with fast latin dances.

Which leaves Mark - Mark has so far suited fun more than passion and if he does look embarrassed on the night he could be in trouble - the rumba is 'the most likely to be embarrassing' dance of all, I think. I wish someone else was doing the rumba for some fair comparison. I think he looks lovely in his training video, but then I thought Ray looked fantastic in training last week. I think Mark and Karen really have their work cut out for them this week. I want to believe that he's getting tons of audience vote anyway, but we have no way of knowing.

Well seeing the sense in that logic I've already started voting for Mark - he is the only one who is taking a real risk this week with the rumba so I hope he has got a fan base backing him up. It would be awful if he left purely because it would be the end of the competition in terms of who the better dancer is.

I really want either Peter or Louisa to go. Peter because its so painful to watch him do the latin and other than the week of the jive, I've found Louisa to be a bit boring.

As a fan of theirs I worry about Mark and Karen each week. We have no idea (aside from Claire and Peter) where the public vote is going. Any of the couples ouside the judges top 2 could be in danger.

I know what you mean about the rumba being potentially embarrassing but I really do think Karen will have got Mark relaxed into the role by tomorrow. I thought he looked very good in the training footage.

There is a hell of a lot of sense in that logic and I'm currently voting away.
