With three male celebrities left in the contest, I find it interesting to ponder their relative 'macho quotient' and to speculate how this may influence female (and perhaps male) voters.

For me Matt Di Angelo is a boy, sometimes charming, sometimes naughty, often maddening. He is undoubtedly a talented dancer (his Latin last week was sensational) but for me he just doesn't cut the mustard when it comes to male fanciability.

Kenny, on the other hand, seems all man. Obviously physically and mentally strong but also funny and tender. His progress since the start of the competition has been tremendous; dancing has allowed a more sensitive side to emerge and in my eyes made him more attractive.

Gethin, of course, is both man and boy, and tonight we saw for the first time (in dance) his joyous, extrovert, manly side. He took control of the dance in a way he hadn't before and really let himself go. His performance in the salsa was spine-tingling and reminded me of Mark Ramprakash.

I believe that a Gethin-Alesha final would be lovely to watch and a real feel-good occasion - two gifted, good-looking, extremely pleasant people competing in an exciting but not cut-throat way.

What does anyone else think?

I still hope for now that Alesha will be in the final. Not sure who should be there with her. I would have liked a three-way finals, but now that this is not possible, either Matt or Gethin, whoever is better in the semis will do me fine.

Possibly to look older than his 20 years(?), Matt did not shave for tonight.

Flavia always chooses some avant-garde music and innovative nonclassical steps. Her paso made me think of a space age dance, then tonight the flowing tango rhythm was constrained by tick-tock-tick-tock. Compare it against the richness and warmth of "Jealousy" which gave Alesha full rein.

Flavia could really "avant-garde" herself and Matt out of this compo in 2 weeks.

As long as Alesha is there. Not interested in the 'journey' mob.

..... and to quote Der Chef..... "Oh Yeah"

I like Gethin a lot but prefer Matt and would like MAtt in the final.
I think Gethin is the only cert for the finale though.

Kenny is completely all man!!

I always find watching the male celebs do the rhumba quite cringe inducing. And was really fearing teh worst for Kenny's.

However, even though there might not have been much in the way of dancing, I didn't cringe at all and think he made a decent job of the 'connection' whilst still being very manly

Matt is still a bit of a naughty schoolboy to me , though I enjoy his dancing .

i find matt a bit too arrogant and he really cant laugh at himself. if the judges ignore him for a second he doesnt laugh and joke along he gets all humpy that the attention is not on him. he reminds me of my 13yr old son. all hormones and attitude

Loved her choreography for the paso, personally. However, I think she's falling into the same trap as Vincent last year and making the routines too hard. If she had eased up slightly on the quickstep, they could have got a phenomenal score. Equally, and it may be an unpopular thing to say, I thought their salsa a little frenetic in places. I wonder whether she knew Matthew and Alesha were doing tango this week and decided to take them on. I detested her choice of music (and didn't she realise that the SCD singers would make a bad choice of music worse by their rendition?) and it really didn't work for me. Shame, as Matt could obviously do the footwork.

I love that someone is trying to be avant-garde (my inner Craig!) but sometimes less is more. I think Flavia is fantastic, and I think Matt could be wonderful, but somehow they've slipped from second place to third for me. (Also, Flavia looked quite sour when she was pipped last week. Understandable, but I don't think it did her any favours.)

Gethin is coming along leaps and bounds and personally I have warmed to Camilla more than ever before. She didn't put as much content in their salsa than M+F did last week, but it allowed Gethin to really perform. I will admit as a biased Alesha and Matthew fan that I preferred their waltz - time just stopped for me in theirs - but we had company this week and so I need to rewatch it as it will undoubtedly be better without people grumping over it! It did look the stuff - a simplicity that meant it could be elegant.

Well...as a man who apprecaites men......I've not really enjoyed Kenny's dancing too much to be honest.

You may call him more man than Gethin and Matt Di, but if that's the case give me boy any day. This is a dancing contest after all and for that a man needs to get in touch with his sensitive side IMO in order to perform with finesse and flair. Kenny has failed completely to do this. Matt's been impressing me throughout and I'm so, so glad that Gethin's also stepped up to the plate this week! Both boys are taking the game to Alesha...good on them!!

So we have Keeny - all man! And Matt - mostly boy! So we are lucky we have Gethin - mostly man with boyish traits. Number three for me!

Love the phrase 'all hormones & attitude', Katy. It sums up what I feel about Matt Di A - somehow stuck in adolescence & unable to keep his hands off Flavia in public (well, in the training room anyway). Hope she realises she needs a man, not a boy.
