As always, a reminder that this is a SPOILER-FREE THREAD, so please don't comment on the result before the result show.

Can't say I'm sad to see Matt go- he's a little strange.

Placemarking. Thanks to all for your brilliant company and comments

Thanks as always, Polka.

Thanks Polka

Thank you.

Love Matt a little bit after tonight.

I did feel a little sorry for him. Week on week he's just looked so dreadfully sad.

Poor old Matt

Jayde needs to go

I reckon Jayde will cling on for another 2 - 3 weeks.

Another theme week? Presumably with a Halloween theme the week after? Enough, can we just have dancing please with the theme of ballroom & Latin.

Poor Matt, I did think he'd go though. He does seem very fragile and Nadiya was so lovely with him.

I'm not convinced with Kym she doesn't seem to be putting her all into it. Everyone else seems very passionate but she seems a bit cold about it.

I also had different expectations of Matt, there have been some has-been popstars on Strictly that have been arrogant or self-obsessed or annoying (Lee Ryan, Jason Donovan, Peter Andre, Jamelia, Alexandra Burke to name a few) and I was pretty sure that Matt would have some of those traits. In fact he was polite and clearly respectful to his pro partner, but a bit sad and vacant generally. I didn't enjoy his dancing though, so it was the right time for him to leave.

Yes, he was the right choice, but I thought that was a lovely speech. He seems quite lost.

Sad that Matt left. I prefer watching him to the stomp fest that is Jayde. I really wish she had gone.

I wish Jayde had gone too.

Sorry to see Matt go in the end. Hope he's OK.

Bless, he seems harmless

Seriously - who is voting for Jayde?

Is she just safe because she gets massively over marked by the judges?

Thanks for the new thread

from the last thread: @GuyMontag Yes! And The Archers! The archers would also be great, especially as a nod to radio being BBC not just tv. Shame Ellie T wore that dress this week, some country dancing would have looked great in that.

Have they announced all the music for next week?
I reckon the old ski sunday tune would be entertaining, but maybe too fast even for quickstep?

Agree Jayde should have been in the bottom 2 but Tony should have been too IMO. I know he’s popular with many but it’s not a personality contest. He was better last night but still not great. Scoring was very inconsistent generally. Thought Will was under marked, the rumba is hard to do.

I think the Charleston will be
Jayde’s nemesis.

Yes

Thanks for the new thread polka

I am surprised that James Bye keeps cruising through I have to say.

You'd think so, but Shirley may find a way to mark it up because it's inspirational.
