I hope Oti keeps her mouth closed, it really annoys me.

Craig used to really complain about the celebs dancing with their mouths open, he doesn't any more.

Ranvir is humped then artie of dancing off.

If it was me, I’d be pouring a rogue bottle of Ribena down the front of that sailor suit ...

That would sort it.

IF dancing off.

If DO is the second dance only...
Any other routine beats Ranvir's jive
Shirley's deciding vote could give Bill the boot
Maisie would only go if up against HRVYs Charleston and Craig stuck to his original preference with one other judge agreeing

They get their choice of which dance to do in the DO - they have plenty of time to change if necessary.

They get their choice of which dance to do in the DO - they have plenty of time to change if necessary.

I thought this. Don't they all do the Red Lights Of Doom in the costume of their chosen dance?

I'm sure they choose.

I've just finished watching Maisie's second dance. Loved it but why does she say 'I love you' to Gorka at the end? When they're cuddling straight after they finish? Bit weird and I don't recall any of the other couples exchanging love you's any other time

Maisie is from Essex: they say ' love you' to everyone and everything !
( I live in essex)

I’m a bit behind Loved Harvey’s and Jeanette's Charleston, not so keen on rumba as a dance I’ve never liked rumba think it’s difficult for the man anyway, he seems genuinely a nice young man. And nice of him to try to get Jeanette into unbelievably her first final, would like to see them win.
Liked Jaimes quickstep he is so full of enthusiasm, be happy if he gets in the final
Ranvir is a beautiful ballroom dancer but not so good at the jive, still hope she gets through, my goodness what perfect music choice for the waltz
Bill has had a good run but time is up I think.
Not keen on street dance or Maisie’s mum sister appearing every time she’s on. I’m sure she’ll get through but she never thanks Gloria it’s all me me me.

Thank goodness for that.

Ha Gorka no Gloria on the show!

I didn't love HRVY's Charleston. Something didn't match with Janette's movements. Probably the finishing of movements. Possibly suppleness.

Enjoyed Bill, love watching Jamie, and voted Maisie as well as I enjoyed her dances the most from a "skill" perspective this week.

Ranvir's jive made me not vote for her, needed more Latin before now really - busted when she could not hide from it anymore.

Think the sheer workload was telling on most of them, not the best week.

Not sure who I want to win though - will go into next week with an open mind!

Watched the show late today. Left me strangely cold. Maisie should win it all, but Harvey will, and am ok with that. Janette's time has come.

Ranvir, Bill and Jamie really all deserve to go home.

Ranvir, Bill and Jamie really all deserve to go home.

I think a lot of people would disagree with you there, for a whole host of reasons

Been out- joys of being tier 1 so watching on catch up

Will give my 2 cents worth later but quickly who is Alijaz sat next to????

Yes, maybe, but Ranvir can't do Latin, Jamie can't rely on enthusiasm over technique any more, and Bill seems to have reached his limit. Anyway, we are on the wrong thread!

Aljaz was sitting next to Amy. Took me ages to work it out!

Jamies: the salsa was ok but a bit slow; I kind of enjoyed the quickstep but it wasn't very quicksteppy. Hope he does that one if in danceoff.

Ramvir: I loved the waltz, beautiful and romantic. Jive not so good, but the judges made it very clear they want her out. Will go if in danceoff, sadly.

Bill: Charleston was OK. The tango was a bit heavy.

Maisie: Of all the dreadful couple's choices this series, this was the worst. Judges however clearly want her in the final and know she's still not getting that many votes. The VW was very nice.

Harvey: I didn't love that rumba, he looked like a schoolboy getting it on with his teacher. Not a good look. The Charleston was quite good.

Judges always want the ringer in the final.
Hopefully like normal they won't win.

It is Ranvir's time to go. The only reason she has got this far is because she has been extremely lucky with ballroom dances , but her Latin is very weak. She doesn't provide the entertainment others do either. She's had a good run, but I think she will be out tonight.

I'd much rather see Jamie in the final than Ranvir. Would love to see his show dance.

And at the end of the dance they’d curtesy/bow, instead of jumping around shrieking ‘WOO!!!! YOU NAILED!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!’ like a toddler given free rein at the Haribo stash.

love this description, and I definitely want to watch old series of Strictly now.

Well I still love Bill and Oti, even though the tango wasn't amazing. I actually liked the music and singing in it though. Think I'm in the minority here for enjoying their Charleston too; they're just so characterful and charming together.

I agree with MadGardener about Ranvir's waltz being stuck in the death slot. It was beautiful, although I don't know anything about footwork so can't comment on that. I thought she made a good fist of the jive considering it clearly didn't suit her; her character and style were great.

Maisie's VW was nice, I think, but I was a bit distracted by the guitar-ography. HATED their CC. Street dance on this show often looks like a piss-take of that genre; I'm sure if you watch proper street dance done by a proper company it's not like that. It looked dated and the clothes were just cartoonish.

HRVY's rumba passed me by, really. Can only remember the horrid silky shirt and trews combo, which made me feel a bit queasy. Underwhelmed by his Charleston despite the judges' combusting over it.

Jamie's dances were probably the weakest overall, but I just like him so much; so keen, so gracious despite being clearly unpopular with voters.

I think it's Ranvir and Jamie in the DO and Jamie will go.

If Ranvir goes I probably won’t watch any more.
