Strictly Come Dancing

[carrotsandpeasifyouplease]

Starts on Saturday!!
I can't find any contestant rumours other than Goldie, does anyone know of any?
Is Alesha back? can only find articles about her not signed contract yet.
No results show apparantly and new format for voting, can't wait - Winter is here.

Top two I mean ... damn you delicious wine

Loved Scott's jive and Kara's argentine tango tonight. I fear Pamela, Michelle and Felicity are at risk tonight. Both Michelle and Felicity looked like they had forgotten the routine mid way through. I love Pamela but she is in the mid table danger zone.

Am behind (on Sky+)

• loved Kara's tango
• at least Anne tried this week
• Patsy was good
• Gavin much improved
• Pamela not very memorable to me

just watching Felicity

Not so keen on Felicity's dance.

Scott & Matt both get a thumbs up from me :)

Just caught up. Pamela's cha cha cha was a bit blah I thought but still good.

Gavin was much improved, as was Patsy. I whizzed through much of Felicity, Michelle and Ann. None of them looked particularly good.

Kara was incredible. I love the Argentine Tango and loved every second of it.

Scott's jive was a-may-zing! Fantastic routine brilliantly done.

And Matt ... oh my word! I was very glad that DH was in the kitchen whilst I was watching that rumba. Matt's my favourite anyway but I came over a little bit unnecessary especially when he did his rumba face!

It wasn't until about halfway through the show I started to get into it really - for some reason, am struggling to warm to a lot of the couples this year! I did like Patsy but didn't make swoon.. Kara's tango though was where it all went right - wow, she is amazing. I kind of want her to win a little bit..

Also loved Scotts jive and thought Gavin really improved a lot. Had to watch a lot of these from the far end of the room as DD a bit unwell and not laughing much at the moment - apart from if she plays peekbo through the door!

I think it is surely Michelles time to go - I can't imagine she'll survive when she's been in the bottom two with much better dances! Either that or Felicity - she's had a good run but tonight was pretty painful... she really seemed to struggle. Would like to see her argentine tango though!

I thought Tess actually looked very pretty tonight.. the hair and dress really suited her - made her less robotic looking! She normally resembles a fembot

Oooh - can't remember what it's advertising but has anyone else seen the advert with the Argentine tango in it? It's great

Oh no! I have somehow missed Matt's 'Rhumba face' - was it when DH decided to stand in front of the TV? . Will have to hope DH hasn't deleted the recording so I can watch & enjoy tomorrow .

Kara & Scott were great tonight, but my favourite of the night was Gav. It's incredible how much happier he is now that he's playing Rugby again.

Pleeeeease let it be Ann going home tomorrow. Just not funny any more, and I can't bear the way she back-chats the judges. If not Ann, then Felicity.

I didn't really feel the performance aspect of Kara's AT, but there's no doubt it was technically brilliant.

Spoiler is out now on Digital Spy for those with no self-control.

I've just watched on Sky + and it was such a mixed bag!

Pamela was ok but not special enough for this stage, Michelle is just too weak and I can't take to her. Loved Patsy, just dreamy! Gavin was far better than he's been before and even Ann was doing proper steps. Kara's AT was fantastic, moody and technically accomplished. Agree Felucity was embarrassing and I think she forgot it. Matt's rumba was raunchy but not smooth enough (I totally get the sexy thing though, had really not thought of him like that!) and what a way to finish with Scott's jive. Great energy but so sharp at the same time.

I'm really hoping that either Felicity or Michelle go home tonight. Ann's not going to win so she's harmless for now, I think we're in for a fabulous final few weeks if the best dancers stay in. I could imagine Kara, Matt and Scott all giving us awesome show dances.

Agree, was slightly disappointed with Matt's rumba, was hoping for more sex

I really wish Aliona would step things up for him though. His dances are always very safe, she needs to put some wow factor in for his dances as he's obviously very capable. Only then will he get the 10 that he's desperate for!!!

Gavin's kiss with Bruno was fabulous. I loved that he left him flat on his back!!

Agree it was a mixed bag.

Felicity was dreadful and way overmarked.

Michelle is odd - very difficult to warm to. Brendan seems to find this too. It was funny how at the end of their dance they didn't hug or look at each other and when they were listening to the judges Brendan put his arm around her and she pushed his hand away. Looks like there has been a major bust up there.

Thought Scott's dance was fab - but agree with Craig that maybe it was a 9 as I thought his upper body was a bit jerky at times but loved the routine. Find Natalie really false - she keeps going on about feeling emotional and I think she's really got ice running through her veins - but she is a fantastic choreographer. Have really liked Scott up until now but his reaction to the ribbing from Gavin was a bit precious. Also, he keeps going on about it all being about the choreography which is getting on my nerves a bit - all a bit false.

Enjoyed Pamela's routine but it got overshadowed but the really good dancers later.

Kara was fab as was Matt. Loved Patsy's routine and think she's really funny.

Ann and Anton are beginning to grate - this assumption that they will be on the show the following week. Would love them to be voted off this week just to see their faces.

Thought Gavin was good but going for the sympathy card with having his kids brought in.

On a controversial note - I really like Aleisha.

Yes, I'm finding Ann really annoying when listening to the judges' comments. Shut up woman!! Not funny anymore!! I would LOVE for them to go.

I would also love Matt to be taught one week by Natalie to see how his routine would improve up to a 10. Last week's with the swing was so cringey and boring. He could be at the top, but in recent weeks the routines just aren't good enough (remember the unicycle? that was the last really good one IMO).

I'm warming to Patsy now she's stopped doing that outrageously fake surprise when her name is called out and I totally agree about the Michelle/Brendon relationship. I'd read that he's sure the British public are soon going to vote her out cos they aren't warming to her and it looked to me on Sat night that he'd given up. I find her hard to watch anyway, just a head on a stick.

Felicity was awful, but really thought if she was having trouble with all the 'armography' in the training, Vincent should have made the routine a little easier instead of forcing her into that position on Sat night.

Next week, Michelle or Ann to go, Matt in a thong and Scott covered in baby oil.

Does anyone have a link to the result on digital spy? I can't watch the show tonight and want a sneaky peek but can't find it on the site anywhere!

knotty, here. The digital spy site is quite hard to navigate, isn't it?

I heard Brendan on Lorraine Kelly say Michelle's days are numbered and she's not improving enough, I thought her dance on halloween was brill but she seemed very downbeat last night. She's just too gangly to be really graceful, but the jive was her dance.

Sticking up for Felicity here, she found that very difficult with all the arms and did well (better than I could ever do!) but overshadowed by so many other good dancers.

I saw a programme about Kara and how hard she's worked to overcome dyslexia, came across as nice person, imo she's the best dancer, really talented, but I wonder if she has a big advantage as she looks to me as if she's been professionally trained.

Loved Gavin and Scott's routines, Scott is more sensitive than I would have imagined (over Gavin's banter).

I thought Ann tried really hard but imo it's a dance competition, we've had a laugh but now it's time to go.

Rather Gavin in a thong and baby oil!

Thanks tribpot - yes, it's a bloody nightmare finding your way round that site! Hopefully won't have to do it again.

I think that Felicity is doing really well. People forget that she is older than Ann!

Agree re Scott and Gavin. I think Gavin's used to being constantly ribbed over his vanity, tan etc and probably takes it on the chin with good humour. Surely you couldn't survive inn a rugby team without it.

Kara was fantastic and Artem is so lucky that he has someone who's so adaptable. She's been great across the board. It wasn't as sultry as Karen and Rampa's dance but was fluid and light. Sort of gazelle like.

Prolesworth - Matt definitely needs better choreography.

I love Patsy and she always seems so pleased to be there.

Gavin - just gross, can't warm to him at all. Ann PLEASE shut up with the 'You should see what we're doing next week..', whoevers voting for them just STOP!!! Scott, Matt and Kara for the final.

Yes it would be interesting to see Matt dancing one of Natalie's routines. I'm surprised they kept Aliona on - she didn't exactly shine last year.

I really like Kara - think she comes across really well and because of this I don't mind that she has obviously had some sort of dance training but then no doubt so have Scott, Matt. Felicity and Pamela.

Bottom tw - Felicity and Michelle and Michelle to go.

Anyone know why Anne wears leggings underneath her dress? Does she think that the men watching will be driven insane with lust at a glimpse of her knees?

Agree with Bomper, definitely time for her to go, and a certain arrogance and vote grabbing in her comments - "just wait for our rumba in 2 weeks time". Once Michelle, felicity and Gavin are gone we will be down to the really good dancers and it would be a real shame if her continued presence were to deny one of them a place.
