New thread, mark your places for tonight's show

Well I do love Jason, but Harry was smoking tonight.

i TOTALLY think chelsee wuvs pasha and that's why she can't do the sexy thing.

SES I think they used Brendan because he was the most recently voted off male pro and was still under contract.
I do think he is the best male pro dancer, at least in terms of technical ability.

Agree that Harry was smoking tonight. That quickstep has to be one of the all time strictly greats. Aliona take note - keep ballroom traditional!!

Jason, I think may have reached a plateau. Shame cos I love him and he think he does put his all into it.

Alex - find her a bit dull, wouldn't be bothered if she went although dd loves her.

Robbie - I love but again think he's reached his potential.

Anita - think she's been great but tonight was a bit average.

Holly - agree with everyone else who says she just seems bored. I didn't like that foxtrot music at all.

Chelsee - why couldn't she act the passion - she is an actor FGS. Others who aren't have managed perfectly well eg: Mark Ramprakash. Shame cos it should have been 10s.

For me either Holly, Anita, Alex or Robbie could go or be in bottom 2.

because she WUVS him, that's why.

AitchTwoOh She's not the only one. I would have had no trouble getting passionate with oor Pash.

And Harry was fantastic. I'm not an expert in dance, but he was clearly leading Aliona around that floor.

When does it go on iPlayer? Still showing to me as unavailable and I'm getting

have just watched it as wa sof out at Top gear yesterday .But i think Robbie is getting rather boaring its the same thing again .

I really like chelsee but to be fair tonight Harry deserved to be top of the board

Cavemum - Thanks, that makes sense. I also think that despite his sometimes arrogance, Brendan is the best pro.

Harry is definitely the best but I hope Jason and Holly are in the final too.
Chelsee is suppressing / missing the emotion.
Robbie needs to go - he is not sexy like he seems to think he is and take that away and there is nothing.
Anita isn't quite as good as most of the others but her enjoyment cones across so well.
Alex, well I nearly forgot about her in my recap so that speaks volumes!

Pasha - I didn't notice his looks until I saw him waiting to go on and dance with Chelsee last night. He did look rather yummy in that suit!

Thank you for letting me gatecrash your thread. I may be back!

Does anybody else get completely put off what Tess is saying by watching the couples messing around in the background? Like Vincent being lifted up and Robbie and James doing odd head-bobbing things.

I couldn't take my eyes off Erin's skirt last night, especially since it seemed to want to be the skirt of whoever was sitting next to her too!

Did I blink and miss a pro dance last night? Otherwise, what was Anton doing on the balcony?

I think thy're just filling it up. I'd hoped for a pro dance though.

Going off costumes, Natalie and Katya are in the same one, but Erin's in a different one.

Weren't they filling the backstage whilst the others got into their swingathon costumes?

Likely to be two pro dances tonight then, one with Anton and Erin - maybe dancing to the musical guest? and the others in a pros dance. So hopefully see more of Pasha (and I make no apology for being a letch )

And I agree ScatterChasse it is really offputting when they all carry on in the Tesspit. Like a bunch of schoolkids. Never was much of a Jordan fan, but James is annoying me even more this series

Yes the confused me too seeing Katya, Erin and Anton hovering in costumes but never appearing.. must be tonight. I really wish they'd dispense with the whole Last night's show bollocks, we all know it's not now!!

Chelsee was superb, aside from a smile at the start which I think is what the judges were on about, getting into the intensity of it all, she wasn't smiling throughout though.

Loved Ola's hissy fit after they were out of the swingathon

Am thinking Robbie or Anita to go tonight. Resisting temptation to go and peek for the first time!!

I want to peek but need a link!

Agree Avada, Anita or Robbie should go tonight.

I am kind of hoping Robbie went even though I like him, as after today's news if I were him I would need time to grieve, and dancing really wouldn't be on my mind - poor man news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15911088.stm RIP

avada I agree with you. If Robbie does get through tonight, then I would say he is almost guaranteed to get through next week aswell as he is sure to dedicate his performance to Gary Speed and it is clearly going to dominate his training aswell I remember Gary Speed being in the audience a couple of weeks ago - shocking!!

Absolutely agree. He'll find it very hard to focus on dancing. Thank goodness the results show was recorded last night.
For the first time ever, I really feel for Robbie :(

Plus there is no chance of them passing off tonight's results show as 'live' bearing in mind Robbie was on BBC news in tears earlier on this afternoon.

Snowstorm I always peek. I enjoy the show more when I know in advance and I can watch their expressions, etc.

Don't want to link in case I accidently reveal something but it is easy to find on the Digital Spy forums.

If he stays in I wonder if they will allow him a week off to give him a chance to grieve in private for a little while at least? They have done for ill celebs, giving them a pass to the next week haven't they? Maybe not at this late stage though?

Prof dance was fabulous. I love that song though too which helps

Nice to see a gen-u-ine ballroom dance, and one of my favourite swing tracks too.

Have a feeling Anita will be the one to go, a shame because although she is not the best dancer she is so enthusiastic and seems to love every minute.

REALLY surprised that Robbie wasn't in the bottom two this week.

Aww what a shame. She was quite philosophical about it though. Poor Robin he sounded gutted. Brendan was nice to her too, didn't seem bothered when Lulu went .
