I thought Danny and You were really over marked tonight. I love You so really want them to stay in, but I didn't vote for them because of that. I did Ed (as usual) for pure entertainment value, Jo and Ore and Daisy because I quite liked their dances!

SoupDragon · 29/10/2016 20:21

the last dancers should be Danny, Ore, Judge Rinder, Daisy and Laura I think.

Up to then, I don't much care what order they are picked off in so I'm happy to vote for the one who is entertaining me the most.

ThursdayLastWeek · 29/10/2016 20:25

I agree with your theory but would replace Laura with Claudia I think soup

At least none of them are Pixie Lott.

ellenanora5 · 29/10/2016 20:25

Thanks zolaaa and Thursdaylastweek, I should be back by then, I really want to see it, never missed a final.

EllaHen · 29/10/2016 20:26

Thought Claudia and Laura were definitely the best tonight. Hoping they will be safely through.

I voted Danny x 2 and Greg x 1.

Had Claudia and Laura had been more harshly marked I would've voted for them.

Didn't like Louise or Ore's dances at all.

SoupDragon · 29/10/2016 20:27

Claudia! I knew I had missed someone off my list. I meant to include her too.

Inkanta · 29/10/2016 20:29

I don't want Louise to exit yet - because she needs to let herself go more on her dancing journey, and she might do it.

Probably Anastasia for the chop.

Not Greg yet.

JennyHolzersGhost · 29/10/2016 20:37

Can anyone tell me where on the leaderboard Daisy was last week ?
Also did anyone note the leaderboard down this week? I know the girls were at the top, Danny and Ore middling and Anastasia below Ed Balls at the bottom, with Greg 3rd from bottom. But I don't have the full list.

EvilRingahBitch · 29/10/2016 20:37

Watching slightly late on catch-up. The votes may be fascinating this week because so many good dancers had a bad week. Is anyone actually voting for Danny? Now we get to find out. Ore has public support according to YouGov, but are they right?

Or it'll be Anastasia vs Daisy and we'll learn nothing. I think I'll vote Daisy, Rinder and Greg - I reckon Anastacia has gone as far as she should and if Ed goes home now he can't complain.

Did you notice Oti's face at the end? I wouldn't want to be Danny tomorrow morning because even discounting the makeup she was not a happy bunny.

EvilRingahBitch · 29/10/2016 20:39

Daisy was at the bottom of the top half of the leader board last week and she's there again this week. Rinder and Ore are both on 32 points straddling the midway point.

JennyHolzersGhost · 29/10/2016 20:42

Hmmmm thanks Evil. Am I sufficiently underoccupied this evening to go find the leaderboards for every week so far and post them ? I think I might be.

Hepzibar · 29/10/2016 20:55

A very lacklustre night, ruined by extremely dire music. Costumes and makeup were spooky but the music, did I mention the music, music was diabolical and ruined it.

GrouchyKiwitch · 29/10/2016 20:56

I suppose being diabolical is on theme.

bookbook · 29/10/2016 21:00

I think maybe Anastasia in the dance off, really don't know who else though.

ThursdayLastWeek · 29/10/2016 21:00

GoodNC Grouchy

JennyHolzersGhost · 29/10/2016 21:01

Ok so Greg was 3rd from bottom last week and is in the same spot again this week. Suggests he's got a fanbase which saved him last week. As Evil says, Daisy was midpoint in the table last time and is in the same spot again this week so unless this week she attracts a following who hadn't realised she was vulnerable, she could well be in the danceoff again.
I think Anastacia will go.

EllaHen · 29/10/2016 21:08

Yes, the music really was diabolical tonight.

ppeatfruit · 29/10/2016 21:41

Funny I don't mind the music this week, I think it's been good on the whole, The make up has been extraordinarily good . I like that that the Glitterball is still anybodies!

goingstrictly · 29/10/2016 23:17

We were told to be there at 3pm. Queued in the park til about 3:30 and then sent into a marquee where you could buy a drink, have a photo in a photo booth and sit around.

Taken into studio about 4:30. A bit disappointed that the first 5 rows are all reserved so couldn't see much at all but they had screens up high you could look at. Seats were tiny and packed very tight - you really get to know your neighbour! The rows were raked but only every other one, which was a shame, it meant that only every other row gets a good view.

Filmed opening dance number and Laura person twice. Warm up man was very good and kept everyone entertained.

Live show started and everyone is told to whoop and give ovations but no one did for Brendan and Anastasia.

Once live show was done, there was a break where everyone got a kit Kat and a carton of juice. Very welcome! But also had a chance to stand and wander and go to the loo.

Recorded Sunday's opening number - and it was amazing. Then Lens lense. Then the rest of the show.

Tess seems lovely and was quite funny. Claudia swears a lot and was very funny at times but really weird too

The judges sat with quite bored faces.

Long day! But, it's very real. The dancers really want to be there and to do well. No one knew the outcome. And they were genuinely rooting for each other.

I'd go again but hope for better seats

it appears that there are carnivorous butterflies . . .

Claudia swears a lot and was very funny at times but really weird too

I just knew she would swear like a docker, and I'm so glad that the weird is real.

I LOVE Claudia (none of my friends like her. . . )

AlchemySchmidtsSmile · 30/10/2016 01:27

Have just rewatched them all on YouTube.

The Joker/Harley Quinn "crazy in love" theming is actually quite clever but it was not an opening number.

The only people who would think Rob's Paso was suitable for Halloween are those that thought The Mothman prophecies were scary. Plus we get it, he's gay. You can stop going on about it now.

The dry ice hiding Brendan's nifty segway moves should have covered his partner whilst he was hamming it up something rotten.
Lesley would have out jived Battystacia.

Claudia should have done Frankie Halloween Envy green face.

I was thinking the Bagography this series has been bad but now (killer) elastic's a thing. Rachel Stevens is throwing things at the telly.

Laura leaves me cold. Wish Anton and Jerry had done theirs.

Ore did look like Oddjob in Carry on screaming or Lenny Henry doing an impression of David Bellamy. Spot on digital spy!

I still want my slowed down Don't fear the reaper rumba dammit.
Wuthering rumba? Withering rumba Wink
Ovary voters will spam vote though.
A shame that the need for content did not extend to Peter Andre's jive.

I liked Daisy's costume, make up and music. Miracle.

Ed Balls is clearly a boob man.

As regards the title of this thread: No and No.

Waves to grouchy my name change is...subtle. but at least you and I did changes to our original names dammit

going You are a doll! Thank you for that. Others have also said Tessbot is funny off camera. I wonder why we don't see that humour/spontaneity on camera. Why was Laura filmed twice? (Camera angles?)
Poor Ana, no standing o. Did Brendan look pissed off? Was he on heelies Grin a segway or hoverboard?!!
Who was your personal favourite? Who do you think the audience enjoyed the most? Who had the wow factor live?
Glad you had a nice time even if view restricted. Really good of you to post.

ifart I know he will have been botoxed almost as much as Sir Clifford of Richard and teeth whitened etc and I did notice his bald patch last week but 60? Bruno is 60? Good God, I'll have some of what he's having! (Blow, jizz, dollars, minions Confused). He looks good on it, bless him.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 30/10/2016 01:21

I actually really liked Ed's -better music too! It makes such a difference!

Inkanta · 30/10/2016 04:53

'Cannot even describe my level of disappointment tonight. Never did I think I'd feel this disheartened from dancing on a show! Mental'

Poor old Greg - he wrote this on Twitter. He did look mortified that Natalie was so upset and tearful , but I'm surprised that Natalie didn't expect to get comments about the lack of Rumba content. She will have known before Craig said so - or Darcy.

MoonriseKingdom · 30/10/2016 06:06

Monkseal nails what was wrong with Louise's dance last night.

she does Harley Quinn with all the elan of a suburban mum who has been dragged out trick or treating and profoundly is not into it as her son does a load of dance moves he learnt off the Youtubes before egging everyone’s houses because he’s ot over-excited (KEVIN)
