New thread, mark your places for tonight's show

Loved it! Wish the audience would stop the panto stuff now, it's just disrupting.

I thought it was Kate Middleton too.

Jason's number was very nice but interesting that the audience stayed firmly in their seats.

I have to say I was a bit concerned about her having another wardrobe malfunction, but obviously they put some additional scaffolding in

Predictions?

HarrietJones I think that Holly will go. I think that Robbie should go, but think there must be a fair amount of people voting for him. And Harry is looking a bit in danger too.

So I reckon maybe Holly and Alex - or maybe Harry- in the bottom two, with Holly going.

Which would be a shame as she has really grown on me over the weeks

Loved Chelsee & Pasha's jive too!

I voted tonight, for the first time ever

I think Robbie will go tonight. Can't believe nobody's mentioned how HOT Artem looked in his costume tonight - I'd be taking that home if I was Kara PHWOAR!

He was very hot wasn't he!

I think time for Robbie to go loved chelsee jive and notice she always remembers to thank people

DD voted for Holly to keep her out of the bottom two.

Alex, Robbie or Jason can go now. Preferably Jason so we don't have to listen to him talk anymore.

Robbie - good but strangely the lack of Ola in a dress made it feel a bit off.

Harry - couldn't she have given him more steps? A bit blah for me.

Alex - I thought she went out of time on the arm bits towards the end. Overmarked in my opinion.

Holly - loved it. Loved the flamenco aspect of it and Artem in that mask and with his shirt off.

Jason - it was good but I thought it was boring. Could be my opinion of him clouding my judgment too.

Chelsee - bloody brilliant! Her kick section at the beginning was fantastic. My favourite dance tonight.

No idea on bottom two. Could be Alex or even Jason. Should be Robbie (sorry Robbie). Wouldn't be gutted if Alex goes though. Nothing against her but I'm not keen on James.

I believe the wardrobe department are quite rightly making special arrangements to keep Chelsee where she needs to be.
I really felt for Robbie tonight. Gary Speed must be so much on his mind - I think the last time they met was at Strictly?

I hope Holly goes - i think she's cold. Can't stand Aliona so Harry could also go for me without grief. As long as Chelsee stays in I'm happy.

DH thinks Craig should give his score last, especially if the other three have given 10s and then Craig, with a pause for dramatic effect, whips out a 9!

I liked Chelsee's jive, but thought that I'd seen a bit by the judges' desk where she lost the plot, so surprised by the scores.
The lack of any ties on the leader board means that the bottom 2 are more exposed than they would otherwise be.

If I'm right in my suspicion that the audience votes go something like
Harry (surely must be shipping votes in by the tonne?)
Robbie (we know for a fact that he's got a huge fan base)
Jason (genuinely famous)
Alex (huge twitter following, big One Show fan base)
Chelsee (the big unknown, popular with the forums but dunno about the GBP)
Holly (Box Office Poison)
then this week's leader board is the best possible placing to get Alex or Robbie out, because it puts the two dancers with weaker fanbases up at the top and relatively safe, and puts Harry down low where he's still perfectly safe. I thought the judges might over mark Holly a la Lisa Snowdon but actually it turned out they didn't need to and that was a genuinely great Paso.

That said I did still vote for Harry just in case (twice, because I voted once for Holly too).

Really enjoyed the show tonight and thought the theme worked. Loved Holly and Artem (and I don't usually like her), Chelsee and Pasha. Also though Jason was good. Not so keen on Harry's routine, but not a rhumba fan in general.

Argh... we had a power cut and lost Chelsee's jive

How long till it appears on iPlayer?

love Harry - although not his best dance (but I reckon a winner as long as though Aliona does some classy routines
Jason - I can feel the desperation to win - can you??
Chelsee - I try to like her - she is good, but.........
Holly - I like her - nice attitude, not to gushy - but still wish she'd let go a bit
Alex - meh
Robbie - doesn't deserve to be there above the others now.

I predict"
1st Harry
2nd Chelsee

Orienteerer - I think that is how it will go - Jason 3rd

Jason is definately the most BORING, and he's still over-rated by the judges. He should go!!

Can't stand him - and you can tell by the 'boys club' upstairs with Tess - he is not popular with the rest of the gang

phhew I thought I was the only person who found Jason boring, he is good but yawnsville

Spoiler finally out and confirmed on Digital Spy.
Interesting stuff (that's not a spoiler, because it was always going to be interesting, with at least one new person in the bottom two).
